WE OWN A 2007 PT CRUISER, A 2007. THIS IS THE SECOND PT CRUISER THAT WE HAVE BOUGHT. MY HUSBAND AND HIS FRIEND, WHO WAS DRIVING AT THE TIME, HAD AN ACCIDENT ON JANUARY 21, 2009. THEY SWERVED TO KEEP FROM HITTING A DOG AND THEY HIT A GUARDRAIL ALMOST HEAD ON AND AGAIN THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOYED AND THE SHOULDER STRAPS DID NOT CATCH. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THAT THIS SAME THING HAS HAPPENED TO US IN A WRECK WITH OUR PT CRUISERS. WE OWNED A 2003 PT CRUISER, I HAD A WRECK ON APRIL 18, 2008, THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, AND THE SHOULDER STRAP DID NOT CATCH, AS A RESULT, IT THREW ME FORWARD AND CAUSED A BAD INJURY TO MY LEFT SHOULDER. I STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND A CAR REAR-ENDED ME AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH. IT THREW ME FORWARD INTO THE STEERING WHEEL AND I INJURED MY LEFT SHOULDER WHERE I HAD MY HAND RESTING ON THE STEERING WHEEL. I HAD TO HAVE SURGERY AND I FEEL THAT THIS WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED IF THE SHOULDER STRAP HAD CAUGHT WHEN THE COLLISION HAPPENED. I FEEL THAT THIS COULD BE A BAD PROBLEM WITH THE PT CRUISERS. HAVE YOU HAD ANY OTHER REPORTS OF THIS SORT OF PROBLEM? *TR

I WAS IN A CAR IN SEPTEMBER OF 2007. I WAS DRIVING A 2007 PT CRUISER. I REAREND A TRUCK INFRONT OF ME DOING APPROXIMATELY 30-35MPH. MY SAFETY BELT DIDN'T LOCK AND MY AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. NEEDLESS TO SAY MY HEAD HIT FULL FORCE INTO THE STEERING WHEEL. ROAD CONDITIONS WHERE DRY. IT WAS JUST STOP & GO TRAFFIC BUMPER TO BUMPER. I JUST DIDN'T REACT FAST ENOUGH. I WAS TOLD THAT THE SENSOR FOR THE AIR BAG WAS LOCATED IN THE CENTER OF INTERIOR DASH CONSOLE. *TR
