We were rear ended while on vacation. The car was drivable and it was put in the shop for repairs. The other person was at fault. When we got the car back we noticed that the airbag light would stay on for a minute or two and then go off. This continues to happen. The car repair shop checked seat belts and such. The air bags did not deploy as this was a rear end collision. I feel like this is a safety hazard. The repair shop has had to repair work that was not done right. Could they have messed up the codes as the temp does not work right.? Were the airbags damaged ? The estimated speed he hit us was 35mph. We both got cervical sprain and mine is worse.

Driver suffered a diabetic hypoglycemic incident and ran off the road and collided with a guard rail. The accident was a frontal impact that resulted in significant damage to the front bumper, fenders, engine compartment, suspension, and frame. The accident damaged approximately 40' of guard rail, including the end section. During the accident, the air bags did not deploy. The vehicle has a history of intermittent air bag warning light activation, and has undergone replacement of several key components of the control system (I.e. Srs module, clockspring in steering column, and wiring harness under front passenger seat). The vehicle speed at the time of the accident is unknown, but estimated at less than 40mph. Weather was clear, sunny. Traffic was none to light conditions. Road conditions were excellent. Driver suffered minor whiplash neck injury and was treated/released for the hospital emergency department. Should the air bags have deployed in this type of accident? Did the prior issues and repairs of the air bag control system have any effect on the air bags not deploying? Did the vehicle frontal crush zone and the impact attenuation of the guard rail system affect the deceleration of the vehicle to the point where the air bags did not need to deploy? Internet research of the air bag warning light issue (unconfirmed blog-type entries) indicates that other vehicles of this make, model and year (including 1 - 2 prior model years) have been involved in front end collisions where the air bags did not deploy.

Fron wind shield wipers do not work and air bag light keeps coming on. Purchased a used 2006 pt cruiser touring edtion on 4/5/2011. Took it to dealer and found that tipm needs to be replaced. Purchased this vehicle from a local dealer and did not know the car had these problems. It was orginally thought that a switch was only needed. After taking it to the dealer, it was determined that a wind shield wiper motor and a switch for the turn signals was needed. Now, it turns out the electrical system has a short and the tipm needs to be replaced (after the diagnosic test, of course). This is going to cost at least $900. And the vehicle is not covered under the factory warranty anymore. Please help. I work three (3) jobs, am a single parent and head of household, and my money is very limited.

Upon purchasing a used 2006 pt cruiser touring edition vehicle on 3/5/2011from boulevard pre-owned in durham, nc, found that the wind shield wipers did not work and the air bag light kept coming on. Dealer said vehicle was under warranty and he would fix the problems. Took it to him on several occasions, even missed a few hours of work and missed daughter's scheduled dental appointment to try to get car fixed. Thus, after much frustration, I decided to take it to an authorized chyrsler dealer for repairs, after the dealer finally agreed to pay up to $150 toward the repair of the vehicle. On 3/21/2011, I dropped the vehicle off overnight, since the wind shield wiper motor was to arrive on 3/22/2011 (it was originally thought that the wiper switch had to be replaced instead). After taking it to the dealer and doing a diagnosic test, I was told I needed a new wiper motor and a new switch for the turn signals, since it was also faulty. Now, on 3/22/2011, I get a call from the technican saying the electrical system has a short and the tipm needs to be replaced also. This along with the wind shield wiper motor will cost more than $900. And the vehicle is not covered under the factory warranty anymore. I have to purchase an extended warranty before my 30 days of purchase is over. Please help. I work three (3) jobs, am a single parent, and is head of household. My money is already stretched too tight. After having had previous car issues with another car, I really do not need this. Thank you.
