2007 Chrysler Sebring

MY AIRBAG LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON DEPENDING ON THE POSITION OF THE PASSENGER SEAT. IT CAME ON THE BEGINNING OF THE MONTH AND I TOOK IT TO THE USED CAR PLACE I BOUGHT IT FROM AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING THERE SO I TOOK IT HOME AND WAS PLAYING WITH THE SEAT AND IF THE SEAT IS PUSHED BACK THE LIGHT GOES ON BUT IF IT IS FORWARD THE LIGHT COMES ON. SOMETIMES IT TAKES A MINUTE OR YOU WILL START DRIVING AND IT POPS ON. WHAT SHOULD I DO? *TR

IN DECEMBER OF 2011 I TOOK MY CAR INTO MOSS BROS. CHRYSLER OF SAN BERNARDINO DUE TO THE AIR BAG LIGHT FOR THE DRIVERS SEAT GOING ON AND OFF. THEY CHECKED THE PROBLEM OUT AND DETERMINED THAT WHEN THE DRIVERS SEAT IS ALL THE WAY BACK THAT THE SEAT ADJUSTER SPRING IS BROKE AND DAMAGED WIRING TO THE SEAT TRACK SENSOR. RECOMMENDED TO REPLACE SEAT ADJUSTER AND WIRING. THESE ARE THE WORDS USED BY THE MECHANIC AS TO WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. CHRYSLER WAS CONTACTED WITH A REQUEST TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM AT THEIR COST, AND THAT WAS DENIED. I HAVE MADE CONTACT WITH CHRYSLER CONCERNING THIS MATTER AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING, THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM REPAIRED. OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS THE PROBLEM HAS COME AND GONE. NOW THE PROBLEM HAS COME BACK UP AGAIN. I AM IN FEAR OF THE AIR BAG GOING OFF ON ITS OWN OR NOT OPERATING PROPERLY IF INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. I AM TIRED OF PURSUING THIS MATTER WITH CHRYSLER AND FINALLY JUST GAVE UP. AFTER TALKING TO A MECHANIC FRIEND OF MINE HE TOLD ME TO CONTACT YOUR AGENCY TO SEE IF YOU CAN GET ME SOME SORT OF SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM. RIGHT NOW I AM HAVING THE AIR BAG LIGHT PROBLEM DAILY AND AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY AND OTHERS THAT MAY BE IN MY CAR WITH ME. I DO HOPE THAT YOU ARE ABLE TO HELP ME GET THIS PROBLEM TAKEN CARE OF. I CAN NOT AFFORD TO PAY THE $1000.00 PLUS DOLLARS THAT I WAS QUOTED FOR THE REPAIR. I AM A DISABLED SENIOR CITIZEN LIVING ON JUST MY SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY AND DO HOPE THAT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM FOR ME. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME CONCERNING THIS MATTER AND I DO LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

CAR HAS TMPS AND AIRBAG LIGHTS CONSTANTLY COMING ON FOR NO REASON - THEY STAY ON FOR DAYS OR WEEKS AND THEN SHUT OFF. BOTH CHRYLSER AND INDEPENDENT MECHANIC HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO DIAGNOSE. ALSO, ENGINE WILL LOSE ALL POWER WHILE IN OPERATION AT BOTH FREEWAY SPEEDS AND LOW RESIDENTIAL SPEEDS ALONG WITH AUTO-START RANDOMLY NOT WORKING. CHRYSLER AND INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WERE NOT ABLE TO DIAGNOSE. TRIED REPLACING ALTERNATOR AND STILL HAPPENED. REPLACED CRANK SHAFT SENSOR AFTER LOOKING AT ONLINE FORUMS OF SIMILAR STORES FROM OTHER CHRYSLER SEBRING OWNERS AND STILL OCCASIONALLY HAPPENS. AIRBAG LIGHT IS NOW BACK ON FOR NO REASON... AGAIN. I KNOW GM HAS BEEN HAVING NUMEROUS RECALLS YET MINE HAS NEVER BEEN INCLUDED IN RECALLS FOR BOTH MY MODEL AND OTHER MAKES/MODELS HAVING THESE ISSUES. IT IS INCREDIBLY SCARY DRIVING SPEEDS OF 75MPH TO LOSE ALL POWER. I HAVE TO PULL BRAKE, PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND SHUT OFF/RESTART. I AM CONSTANTLY FEARFUL OF IT HAPPENING AND GETTING INTO A CRASH THAT COULD BE FATAL. *TR

THIS IS A RECALL ITEM FOR MODELS RIGHT AROUND THE SAME TIME AS MY SEBRING WAS BUILT, I HAVE CALLED CHRY BUT THEY WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. THE AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON!! MY AIR BAG CLOCK SPRING FAILED AND MY AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. I'M TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT MY AIR BAG WILL NOW NOT WORK, AND MY CRUISE CONTROL & STEERING WHEEL HORN . THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE & I NEED TO GET IT REPAIRED QUICKLY BUT AT A COST OF OVER $220, I CAN NOT AFFORD . THIS SHOULD BE PAID FOR BY DAIMLER CHRYSLER!. *TR
