“The airbag light of my vehicle came on two days ago without this vehicle having any accident. I started the vehicle in the morning and as soon as I left my driveway the air bag light came one. The airbag is however intact and has never been deployed. I am just surprise an airbag will come one without the vehicle having any crash.”

NHTSA complaint #10957965, filed 2017-03, 120,000 miles“Horn stared going off on its own, while driving or just sitting, then the transmission started lagging, rpms drop while I'm driving and am unable to get back up to speed for a minute. I drive on the interstate daily for work and both of these are a huge hazard for me and other drivers. I assume the problems are related being as they both went crazy at the same time. While driving on the interstate to work my car just sort of died without dieing the rpms dropped and the car tried to die but diidnt. The gas ped stopped working while this was occuring and I was unable to get back up to speed. …”
NHTSA complaint #11195332, filed 2019-04, 160,000 miles“I had a severe side impact on my 2008 Chrysler Sebring when another vehicle ran a stop sign and broadsided me. I have side airbags, the curtain airbags and the ones in the seat. Not one airbag deployed. Chrysler is saying the impact was not sufficient to deploy the bags. I don't accept that. The damage to my car was $8,500.00 and had to replace both front and rear doors and the entire side frame. The air bags should have deployed.”
