Ever since I purchased my 2005 chrysler 300 there has been a recurring air bag light issue. I had the seat sensor replaced under warranty at a local dealership, but this did not fix the problem. I took the car back several times, but I was told that it had been fixed and there was nothing else they could do. I also called chrysler and voiced my concern over this issue. I stated that I was concerned that the air bag would not deploy if the car is in an accident. Chrysler basically told us that the sensor had been replaced so there was nothing else they could do. I told them that if I was ever in an accident and the passenger air bag did not deploy, I would file a lawsuit against them. I have seen similar complaints regarding this issue. Why is this problem not being addressed. There should be a recall to fix this before somebody gets seriously hurt!
