What owners say
Tl* the contact owns a 2002 chrysler concorde. The contact stated that when the vehicle was started, the air bag warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the technician diagnosed that the air bag needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 43,000.
There was no accident involved. All of a sudden the air bag light went on and it started to ding on and off. Took to mechanic who took to chrysler dealer who said there was a recall back in 2000 regarding the fact that there was a recall concerning the seat belts affecting the air bag light. No one could find anything wrong with the car except the air bag light continues to go on even when the seat belts are not connected. It is really bothering me as I drive and this noise keeps binging and the light stays on. What is the solution???
Suddenly, the clock spring in the steering column failed. I had no horn, cruise control and the air bag light came on. I had it replaced at a cost of $475. After repair I inspected the bad clock spring. The printed circuit spring cable came loose from its outer connector. I don't believe that it was anchored properly or it was improperly designed. I know of 2 other people who had the same problem with chrysler cars. Since the horn and airbag failed due to this part I believe that it is a safety problem.
Beginning in 2005, the airbag light on our chrysler concorde dashboard began intermittent on/off while driving. The problem persisted, but knowing it was out of warranty and how difficult electrical problems are, we ignored it. Finally it remained on in 2006 and in 2010 we had the airbag module replaced by our dealer. The repaired failed and now seems to be a defective wiring harness. The car remains at the dealer. The pare is unavailable and the cost could be thousands for a car worth 7k. Has chrysler had problems with this module or harness that could have be a safety recall?
Tl*the contact owns a 2004 chrysler concorde. When the vehicle is started, the air bag light illuminates and remains lit on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to a mechanic and it was discovered that the side air bag malfunctioned and needed to be replaced. The air bags would not deploy in the event of a crash. The current mileage was 69,000 and failure mileage was 68,000.
Air bag light on for years. Just removed clock spring . Component is faulty. Suspect there are many like this.
Air bag light came on six months ago and never went off. Called two dealers, one wanted $80 to investigate the problem, 2nd said it's probably the "clock spring." air bag, horn and cruise control are all disabled. Does not fall under any warranty, I don't feel I should have to pay for the repair, this is not a routine maintenance item, it should be warrantied for the life of the car. Called chrysler customer service (ref. #14889231) no help there, not under warranty.
While traveling from baltimore to burlington, vt the air bag warning light came on. I called the local dealer and it took several days for an appointment. After paying a $72 fee for a diagnosis, I was told the passenger air bag was inoperative due to an "electronic" failure, but parts were not available and had to be ordered and I am still driving with an inoperative air bag that when (and if) the part arrives will cost me several hundred dollars more to fix. I contacted the chrysler hotline and was disappointed by what seemed indifference to safety issues like this.
Dt: the contact owns a 2003 chrysler concord limited. The contact stated that the air bag light illuminated for a period of time, then it went off. The contact stated that this has been going on for approximately 3 months. The warning sound went off letting the contact know that the air bag light illuminated. The consumer had the vehicle to a service dealer on july 15, 2005. They stated there was nothing wrong with the air bag. At this time the vehicle had 31,588 miles on it. The consumer contacted another service dealer and they replaced the control module. Approximately an hour later the light came back on. Another service dealer cleaned the connectors to the air bag, but this still did not remedy the problem. The consumer has not contacted the manufacturer, but was going to contact them today.
