2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser: airbag warning light

Filed Nov 21, 2021 · Steering, Wheels · NY

Answers and explanations to all of the above questions: My power steering assembly is leaking pretty bad and is only getting worse. I have a bad shoulder that I had surgery on and if it goes completely out I am afraid i wont be able to turn the steering wheel & cause an accident. The rims on the vehicle are cracked/cracking & I believe one has a hole or 2 & another 1 is forming one. It's also scratching & ruining the rotors. Its not the pads they are fine but I need at least 1 new rotor & can't because the rims are defective causing it to happen again which can easily damage the calipers locking up the wheel causing a crash plus sometimes theres a loud crunching noise not grinding like the pads are bad cause they are not. I know the difference. The trac off & airbag lights are on then they go off then come back on again.The dashboard is cracked and it caused the vent to break where anything can get in it.The clear coat is peeling and yet the paint under it is in great shape.I also believe that the instrument cluster is causing the lights to come on the dashboard.The vehicle can be picked up when ever you have a spot open for it. I would like 48 hours notice due to work. This is a safety issue if the power steering goes while driving I cant steer it because I didn't know it was leaking it went out and I was stuck blocking traffic and couldn't turn it the passenger had to do it for me, If the rims get worse or hole bigger it can crack or break in half while I am driving. The defrost vent is open to particles that can get in there that shouldn't. The airbag light on could be a defect or the air bags defective. Nothing has been inspected on it since I just found out when looking up this make, year and model a price on power steering to find out there's a recall on it as well as other issues. There were no warnings and the only code that came up was the high fan relay switch. Since then the trac off light goes on and off as well as airbag light and now is currently on.

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.

I purchased my 2002 pt cruiser with only 34,000 miles on odometer in january of 2006. Within six (6) months, the airbag light came on for no reason. I paid $1,000.00 to have the airbag assembly replaced and once again within six months, the airbag light came on. I was told this time that it was the airbag sensors that needed to be replaced.

Possible airbag or electrical defect on 2002 pt cruiser touring edition. I was driving up the road in my 2002 cruiser with approximately 40,000 miles on it, which has not been involved in an accident, and the airbag light came on my dash. I have had my car in the shop several times and after approximately $800.00, my light is still on. The airbag assembly and airbag module have been replaced and it has not remedied the problem.
