2007 Chrysler Pt Cruiser

THE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT HAD COME ON AND WHEN I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER THEY INFORMED ME THAT INDEED THE AIRBAG WAS NOT COMMUNICATING WITH THE REAR BUMPER AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR A NEW SENSOR. I WAS TOLD THAT THE GOOD NEWS WAS IT WON'T DEPLOY WHILE DRIVING BUT IT WON'T DEPLOY IF IT'S IN AN ACCIDENT. YEAH. THE DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO FIX IT AND THAT IT WAS MY PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2007 CHRYSLER PT CRUISER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER CRASHED INTO THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR OF ANOTHER VEHICLE AND THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE SPEED WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNAVAILABLE.

MY HUSBAND WAS IN HIS 2007 CHRYSLER PT CRUISER AND WAS INVOLVED IN A HEAD ON COLLISION, DURING THAT ACCIDENT THE ANKLE AIR BAG DEPLOYED AND BUSTED HIS WHOLE ANKLE OUT AND JOINT AND HE HAD TO HAVE A BONE GRAFT DONE AND IS NOW STILL HAVING PROBLEMS, HE HAS AN EXTERNAL FIXATOR ON HIS LEG AND THIS HAS BEEN ALMOST THREE MONTHS AFTER THE ACCIDENT, THE CARS DAMAGE WAS ONLY TO THE HOOD THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR WAS ALL STILL INTACT AND WAS NOT AT ALL PUSHED IN, IN ANY WAY. *TR

ON 12/6/10, I WAS IN MY 2007 PT CRUISER WHEN I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. I WAS PROCEEDING STRAIGHT THRU AN INTERSECTION WHEN A 1993 NISSAN ALTIMA TURNED LEFT IN FRONT OF ME (WAS COMING FORM DIRECTION OPPOSITE ME), STRIKING ME DEAD CENTER OF MY FRONT BUMPER. THE CRASH DID THE FOLLOWING RESULTING DAMAGE TO MY PT CRUISER: RADIATOR SMASHED, RAD. SUPPORT BROKE, ALL WIRES ON WIRING HARNESS CUT (INCLUDING THE WIRE TO THE AIRBAG SENSOR--THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY), HOLE BUSTED INTO MANIFOLD, FRONT BUMPER ASSEMBLY TORN OFF, HOOD BENT/CAUSED RIGHT-SIDE PASSENGER DOOR TO JAM, BROKE STARTER COMPLETELY OFF, AND A MULTITUDE OF OTHER THINGS. AS A RESULT OF THE SEVERE DAMAGE, MY PT CRUISER WAS DEEMED UNFIXABLE AND WAS TOTALED. THIS WRECK OCCURRED AT A SPEED OF LESS THAN 25 MPH! WHAT GETS ME IS THAT IF THE SPEED HAD BEEN ANY GREATER, MY PASSENGER AND I WOULD HAVE BEEN SEVERELY INJURED/POSSIBLY EVEN FATALLY BECAUSE OF NOT HAVING AIRBAG PROTECTION. THE MECHANIC AT THE BODY SHOP WHERE MY CAR WAS TAKEN CAB CONFIRM THIS---I HAVE COPIES OF PICTURES THAT WERE TAKEN OF THE CAR, ALONG WITH A COPY OF THE REPORT THAT WAS SUBMITTED TO THE INSURANCE COMPANIES INVOLVED. SOMETHING NEED TO BE DONE ABOUT THE LOCATION OF THE WIRING HARNESS/AIRBAG SENSOR WIRE SO THAT NOTHING SEVERELY HAPPENS TO ANOTHER DRIVER. I WILL NEVER, NEVER EVER HAVE/PURCHASE ANOTHER CHRYSLER PRODUCT---THIS WIRING HARNESS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE FIXED ASAP! THERE WERE NO INJURIES, EXCEPT FOR A SORE KNEE (MINE), WHICH I DID END UP GOING TO THE HOSPITAL LATER WHEN THE PAIN IN MY MUSCLES/TENDONS GOT TO SEVERE---NO BONES WERE BROKEN---JUST SORE FOR SEVERAL DAYS. *TR

HAVING ISSUES WITH AIRBAG/SEATBELT LIGHT COMING ON & THE DINGING- PD. $98. 1ST TIME, TOOK BACK 2 MORE TIME, STILL NOT FIXED, SAID WARRANTY IS UP & DOES NOT COVER ELECTRICAL... THEY CANNOT FIND PROBLEM & SEEM NOT TO BE INTERESTED IN TRYING.. SUGGEST I PUT NEW SEATBELT IN AT MY EXPENSE OF $500. TO ME THIS IS A DRIVING HAZARD WHEN U HAVE THIS ALARM GOING OFF EVERY 20 SEC, IT CAN BE A DRIVING HAZARD.... 2007 PT CRUISER - CALLED CHRYSLER & THEY WILL NOT WORK WITH ME ON THIS, IS GETTING VERY FRUSTRATING WHEN U BUY A NEW CAR & HAVE THESE KINDS OF PROBLEMS. *TR
