Upon starting vehicle all warning test lights such as airbag,oil pressure etc. Come on as normal,but often the red "airbag" light stays on indefinitely or goes off then bells and "airbag" red light reappear and stay on 5 to 10,seconds then go off every few minutes for several seconds. This seems to occur when I am in 1000 to 1500, low rooms like when I'm slowing to make a stop.yesterday, the airbag light stayed on the entire 20 minute trip. I took car in for repair on my own $ but problem returned. Problem has occurred at all,highway and street speeds but mostly with deceleration turning the airbag off. Very dangerous. Why haven't you put the pt cruiser on the airbag recall list? I bought the car new in 2002 and am,the sole owner.

Takata recall: I was driving north, turning right on a 20 MPH curve, when someone heading south, turned left on the curve, went over the line and hit me head on. When I came to, I heard myself screaming that I was on fire! ( but my car was not on fire.) then I didn't remember anything until I woke up in the hospital. I was covered in this hot powdery substance and I had burns where ever my skin was showing. I had cuts everywhere and dark marks in my skin for years. I had corneal scratches and irritated eyes too, along with dislocated jaw, seat belt injuries and a few other injuries. My tmj specialist realized I had metal in my face, looking at my mri. A few days after the mri, my face swelled up on the right side, my right eye was swollen shut and my face had a huge bump where the metal festered up from the mri, the er lanced it open, found particals but didn't do a biopsy, just threw it away. I never had face surgery or anything like that and it was too high on my cheek to be from dental work. I have documents on accident reports, drs documents, x rays, mri's showing the bloom of metal hiding my broken jaw. I have pictures too of me and deployed airbags. Although I don't have them here to scan. Hopefully I can come back to my form and update any information that is missing. Thank you. My tmj dr and my maxio facial specialist said it had to be shrapnel and they cannot make any proper diagnosis of my tmj or broken jaw. I still have pain and still have shrapnel that has been coming out of my eye area and face for some time. I knew of all of this prior to the takata issues, I haven't been well enough to follow through with you until now. Thank you for your time.

The ignition key does not stay in when the engine is running. The mechanic who worked on the car in october said he has replaced several ignition switches in this model car. Could it have been manufactured by the same company as those involved in the gm recall? This problem has existed for several years.
