We have classified the 60 complaints from 2007 Chrysler Sebring about AIR BAGS into the following categories.
The airbag light has been in for a long time. i know someone that has the same car and their car has the same issue. also the true gage reader is malfunctioning. now i have problems with the car stalling on the roadway. i called chrysler about the recalls and the said everything has been taken care of. they couldn't tell me who brought the car in fir repairs. i've had the car for 8 years. i dont think the issues have been resolved. they should at least be able to see who brought the car in fir the repairs. the headlights will sometimes go off when going around turns. i met the previous owner and he told me that these issues are why he got rid of the car. please help me get the recalls fixed so something bad doesn't happen to us in this car.
Airbag light on, horn and cruise control stopped working, found out its the clock spring, had trouble steering the car at one point, found that a part broke the clock spring and got lodged in the steering components, happened during a turn onto a street
I am very concerned about my airbag light coming on 1-2 times a month. does that mean the air bags may suddenly deploy while i am sitting at a light, or not deploy when involved in a crash? my second concern is that my dashboard lights started dimming and eventually went out on their own. i cannot drive at night any more.i took it to a mechanic and thinking it was a simple fuse problem. no, it has to do with the mechanic removing the dashboard and going into the instrument cluster box and replacing simething in there. i have been quoted $350.00-to 375.00 dollars.cannot afford that. my new problem: driving home, getting ready to back up my drive way, the car is running hot, when i went to shift from drive to reverse,the car cut off.had a hard time taking the carout of reverse to park. like it was stuck or jammed.my neighbors came out to help push it out of the middle of the street and the front wheels were locked. the men eventually got it pushed to the side of the street. the car starts an run s with no problem my mechanis tells me it is the gear shifter cable us broken. i thought tose were made to last in a car. my car is now locked in park until i canget that fixed. as a senior on a fixed income i cannot afford to drive this old car i have sadly paid for.

Air bag code flashing
Air bag light has come on intermittently for the last 3 years. taken to several independent mechanics with no reason identified or resolution. well today the light kept illuminating and dinging while running errands. unusual amount of times so much so it caused some concern. i was in motion approaching a stop sign, almost home and the drivers side side air bag deployed & burst for no reason. thank god i was uninjured but that was dangerous and scary! now i have a damaged drivers side seat.
Air bag light comes on and goes off when ever it wants. some times it stays on a long time . usually happens when i hit breaks or a bump in the road. seat feels loose some times. and wish i could have fixed by chrysler. i hope some day they step up and fix this issue before someone gets hurt not knowing if air bag will work sucks.

Air bag indicator light constantly beeps and stays on for periods of time. when i'm on the on-ramp entering a highway and driving in a curve the brake indicator light comes on. sometimes it comes on while driving on a flat surface. since i've had this car, the right front tire pressure has never read. it just reads -- where the number should be. i have had to replace my crank position sensor twice. i lost acceleration while driving.the second time i had to replace the electrical throttle something (etc) as well. now it is out a 3rd time. luckily i was in my driveway this time! please recall!
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

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
The air bag indicator light will turn on and ding. this happens at random speeds for no reason as well as when moving the seat. see recall ,mfg's report date june 5, 2007 for the componets: air bag : frontal on chrysler sebring 2007 nhtsa campaign number : 07v-240 safety recall g14. however when i call chrysler i was informed my vin does not match the vehicles that were in the recall, therefore it is my responsibility to correct this repair. when i asked kelly with whom may i speak to i was informed no one. she will enter the information in her system. *tr
When my husband drives my car, he moves the seat back. when i drive my car, i move the seat forward. this action causes the airbag light on the dash to come on. when i move the electronically controlled seat forward/backward, the airbag light will "sometimes" go off. the nhtsa ref 07v240000 references a recall for the front seat track position sensor. i contacted chrysler to see if my car is one that has been recalled. i'm told that it is not. i think it should be. *tr

My airbag light comes on frequently and remains on most of the time. i took it to goldstein chrysler jeep dodge in latham ny. i was charged $120 for diagnostics and i was told it was an airbag sensor that would cost upward of an additional $450 to repair. i found there was a recall issued by the national highway traffic safety association for this problem with the 2007 chrysler sebring back in june of 2007. the recall campaign # is nhtsa-07v240000. i called diamler chrysler at 1-800-853-1403 to get the problem resolved and to recover the $120 i paid to the goldstein dealership for an issue that was covered in a recall. diamler chrysler said they had no recall for an airbag sensor on the 2007 sebring. i called back the nhtsa at 1-888-327-4236 and confirmed the recall was in fact issued. i filed a case with the nhtsa, and they referred me to the federal trade commission at 1-877-382-4357 where i also filed a report. the ftc also referred me to the nys consumer protection board. complaints to them must be filed in writing. i requested a complaint form. i called diamler chrysler back and filed a case. i contacted the dealer customer service management back, where i sensed there wasn't the least bit of sympathy or concern for my family's safety. *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.

I was s/b on i-75 in kentucky at approximately the 56 mp when i fell asleep. the front end struck the end of a guard rail and then the car swung around, slid sideways, and rolled over stopping on it's left side. no air bags deployed. the vehicle had both front and side air bags. the kentucky state police, post 11, took the report and the mount vernon, ky fire department got us out. no was injured thanks to seat belts but the air bags should have deployed. the fire department was concerned that the side air bags would deploy when they used the 'jaws' to cut the side posts but this did not happen either. *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
I have a 2007 chrysler sebring. while i was driving to work, the car idled down and was about to cut off, as when i stopped on a red light the car completely shut off. i had to turn the ignition key to "off" and turned it back on. also, the airbag light keeps coming on and off. what is wrong!? any recalls on these yet?
Air bag light came on and stays on. upon calling company it will take several thousand dollars to repair as it is a common problem in the steering column. sure enough, common enough that there is indeed a recall on this - but only in certain states!!! i am in arkansas, the states are directly to the south of me, tx, al, ms etc... how crazy is that? it is a defect, but only in a couple states?? even though my vin number is right in there??? i got this information by calling the recall hot line... yes, if my car was in the recall states, it would be paid for...very shaddy *tr
I drive a 2007 chry. sebring touring edition, the air bag light keeps coming on, cruise control does not work, and everytime it rains, the entire passengers side inside the veh gets really wet. *tr
My airbag light comes on intermittently. sometimes it blinks off and on a few minutes at a time as i drive for as long as i'm driving. other times, it will stay on for 30 minutes or so continuously, then stay off. or, i can go days without it coming on. i'm afraid it's going to either deploy for no reason while i'm driving and cause an accident, or not deploy if do have an accident. my brake lights come on almost every time i stop at a light. i have had the brakes checked by a mechanic, and they couldn't find anything wrong with them. my driver's side window has occasionally begun "sticking". usually it is when i have rolled it down, it does not want to roll back up. my car is out of warranty, so i have not paid to have it hooked up to the computer at the dealership to see if there are any error codes. these have all started happening in the last three months, and are steadily getting worse. *tr
The airbag light comes on while driving. *tr
Our 2007 chrysler sebring's airbag light has come on. it was on just a few minutes and went out. it stayed out for about a month and now has come on and stayed on. we have 41,000 miles on it and we have not had it for 3 yrs yet but have been told it could cost us no less than $89 to fix. the book says contact a garage right away for repair. we don't know whether this airbag will come out while driving or not. should this be a recall or should we have to pay for fixing this problem. *tr
Defective airbag system on chrysler sebring after 50,000 miles. although the car has never had any accident that may involve the use of airbags. the airbag signal will go off on the 2007 chrysler sebring dashboard, over and over and over again....then it will stop for about two to four twenty hours. and it will go off again .... *tr
I have a 2007 chrysler sebring and the airbag light would come on and off,but now its on and wont go off. *tr
Rt.1 caribou, maine driving approximately 55-60 mph in a 2007 chrysler sebring. two (2) passengers. driving north i struck a black bear in a front end collision as it was crossing the road from my left into my lane. approximately four-thousand (4,000) dollars in damage was done to the vehicle most of it to the front drivers side of the vehicle, including headlight assembly, hood, grill, drivers side fender and other damage. bodily injury is to driver only including neck injury and back and shoulder pain. the reason for this complain is due to neither the drivers side airbag nor the passengers side airbag deployed. *tr
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 chrysler sebring. the contact stated that her gear shift selector would not release from park. the contact would have to use a screwdriver and after several attempts, the selector would release. the airbag warning light was also defective and would illuminate sporadically. in addition, the front passenger side window would not open. the vehicle was not repaired. the vin was not available. the failure and current mileage was 68,000.
First two complaints have been recalled and serviced. said recalls were for # 1 engine stalling and # 2 driver airbag under seat sensor illuminating on and off on dash. even after the service was performed for the recalls, i still have engine stalling during stops and on deceleration the vehicle threatens to stall. i need to keep giving gas and on humid days that is indicative of possible rain the threat is more often. the second recall complaint that i am still experiencing is the air bag illuminator on dash for the drivers side goes on and off and the wires under the drivers seat are involved when driver seat moves front or back. stalling is a safety issue that can cause personal injury or death to occupants in this car or nearby cars sharing the road. also the air bag sensor problem keeps me in fear that the airbag will not deploy when necessary or will deploy accidentally on its own while the vehicle is in motion. i also have a complaint that the car when braking for a stop continued to rev causing me to use the emergency break and i had to shut off the car to stop the car totally.i have noticed that this issue is common with other peoples complaint and an inquiry would seem imminent for safety reasons. the dealership knowing the recalls have not secured the proper handling of my vehicle's safety wants to charge a diagnostic fee or a service fee when it is clear that the proper service was not rendered causing recall malfunctions to this date. for the two complaints that have recalls that i am inquiring about need to be addressed to the dealership asap for service and i would appreciate the outcome of this complaint in writing. as for the accelerator problem i would like to be kept abreast if a safety issue is mandated for the repair of that complaint. thank you. *tr
