Airbag light intermittently comes on and goes off. Sometimes will beep every few minutes until the engine is turned off for a few minutes. Local chrysler dealership tried 3 times in a row unsuccessfully to find the problem. I was told it was not a safety issue and that it would not hinder from passing inspection, which it didn't. However I have now been told that when the light is on the airbag will not deploy making it a safety issue that will no longer pass inspection. There are quite a number of reports online of pt cruiser owners having the same issue.

I own a 2001 chrysler pt cruiser with 105k miles. The air bag light remain on when the car is running, also the horn does not work or the cruise control. I researched the problem and have determined the problem to be a defective clockspring. After some research on the internet I have found that chrysler has recalled 1.2million 1998 - 2000 minivans for this same problem. The pt cruiser has no recall but should since it is classified as a van.

Per instructions in owner's manual, I took my 2001 pt cruiser with 51,700 miles into the courtesy chrysler/jeep dealership in rockville, md after the airbag indicator light on the dashboard panel began intermittently lighting up when taking turns. After 3 days, the service advisor called to inform me that the light was going on because the airbag had failed. The car has not been in an accident, nor has it been modified. The charge to replace the failed airbag is $1,300. The service advisor said he had no idea what would cause the airbag to fail if was not in an accidient and had not been modified. I called chrysler customer service and was told that there was nothing they could do to help me and that I would have to work it out with the dealer.

2001 pt cruiser has airbag light that keeps coming on intermittently. Also, the associated "ding" sound comes on at the same time. Dealer charged $90 to tell me the driver's side airbag had "failed". (note: this car has never been in an accident and only has 34000 miles on it.) dealer wants $500 to repair the "failed airbag". Coincidence that this same problem happened on late 90's grand caravans. Sounds like I have exactly the same problem they had - but no recall to correct the situation. Help!
