2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser airbags complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 28 of 28, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The drivers side airbag light had come on and when I brought it to the dealer they informed me that indeed the airbag was not communicating with the rear bumper and I would have to pay four hundred dollars for a new sensor. I was told that the good news was it won't deploy while driving but it won't deploy if it's in an accident. Yeah. The dealership refused to fix it and that it was my problem.

Air bags failed to deploy on a front end collision. Resulting in husband hitting head on steering wheel. Husband is 6'6 and was wearing his seatbelt. Insurance agency and I have photos where the air bags did not deploy.
The airbag light and chimes would come on whenever a passenger would sit in the front passenger seat. Codes b1b56 and b1b54 came up. The seatbelt buckle was faulty and needed to be replaced for $267.
I had my 2007 pt cruiser for 6 months and the horn would stick and not turn off. The steering wheel and airbag were defective and replaced. My front brakes and rotors also had to be replaced at this time.
My husband was in his 2007 chrysler pt cruiser and was involved in a head on collision, during that accident the ankle air bag deployed and busted his whole ankle out and joint and he had to have a bone graft done and is now still having problems, he has an external fixator on his leg and this has been almost three months after the accident, the cars damage was only to the hood the interior of the car was all still intact and was not at all pushed in, in any way.
On 12/6/10, I was in my 2007 pt cruiser when I was involved in an accident. I was proceeding straight thru an intersection when a 1993 nissan altima turned left in front of me (was coming form direction opposite me), striking me dead center of my front bumper. The crash did the following resulting damage to my pt cruiser: radiator smashed, rad. Support broke, all wires on wiring harness cut (including the wire to the airbag sensor--the airbag did not deploy), hole busted into manifold, front bumper assembly torn off, hood bent/caused right-side passenger door to jam, broke starter completely off, and a multitude of other things. As a result of the severe damage, my pt cruiser was deemed unfixable and was totaled. This wreck occurred at a speed of less than 25 MPH! What gets me is that if the speed had been any greater, my passenger and I would have been severely injured/possibly even fatally because of not having airbag protection. The mechanic at the body shop where my car was taken cab confirm this---I have copies of pictures that were taken of the car, along with a copy of the report that was submitted to the insurance companies involved. Something need to be done about the location of the wiring harness/airbag sensor wire so that nothing severely happens to another driver. I will never, never ever have/purchase another chrysler product---this wiring harness problem needs to be fixed asap! There were no injuries, except for a sore knee (mine), which I did end up going to the hospital later when the pain in my muscles/tendons got to severe---no bones were broken---just sore for several days.
Having issues with airbag/seatbelt light coming on & the dinging- pd. $98. 1st time, took back 2 more time, still not fixed, said warranty is up & does not cover electrical... They cannot find problem & seem not to be interested in trying.. Suggest I put new seatbelt in at my expense of $500. To me this is a driving hazard when u have this alarm going off every 20 sec, it can be a driving hazard.... 2007 pt cruiser - called chrysler & they will not work with me on this, is getting very frustrating when u buy a new car & have these kinds of problems.
I have a 2007 chrysler pt cruiser, that was not involved in a collision or any type of damaging incident however the occupant classification system in the passenger seat is now malfunctioning to the point where if anyone or anything is in the seat the airbag light in the instrument cluster turns on and the notification chime sounds. The dealer has estimated that $500 would be a good start to repairing the problem, which has not been completed yet.
We own a 2007 pt cruiser, a 2007. This is the second pt cruiser that we have bought. My husband and his friend, who was driving at the time, had an accident on january 21, 2009. They swerved to keep from hitting a dog and they hit a guardrail almost head on and again the air bags did not deployed and the shoulder straps did not catch. This is the second time that this same thing has happened to us in a wreck with our pt cruisers. We owned a 2003 pt cruiser, I had a wreck on april 18, 2008, the air bags did not deploy, and the shoulder strap did not catch, as a result, it threw me forward and caused a bad injury to my left shoulder. I stopped at a red light and a car rear-ended me at approximately 50 MPH. It threw me forward into the steering wheel and I injured my left shoulder where I had my hand resting on the steering wheel. I had to have surgery and I feel that this would not have happened if the shoulder strap had caught when the collision happened. I feel that this could be a bad problem with the pt cruisers. Have you had any other reports of this sort of problem?

While driving in michigan on us 23 in a 2007 pt cruiser standard. The vehicle approached a traffic jam and slowed to a stop. Then a bmw vehicle smashed into the rear of the pt cruiser at rates up to 80mph and the bmw driver never applied brakes during impact of vehicle. The pt cruiser then crashed into and totaled a honda accord. The air bags of the pt cruiser never deployed upon impact with the frontal vehicle. All passengers were wearing seatblelts which did save there lives. The back seat was jammed into the front seat where the passenger behind the driver received a broken forearm and almost had a amputated ankle from being caught under the driver seat. The of the passenger in the back seat received broken ribs and a heart attack from impacting the front seat. The passenger in the front broke all ribs and a broken back from hitting the dashboard and arm went into the windshield when the front seat was forced forward. The driver did hit her head on steering wheel and caused a base skull fracture and a broken left pelvic bone. Once again all where wearing seat belts which saved their lives but are unsure in why the airbags were never deployed on such a high rate impact which trapped and seriously injured all passengers inside. I do believe that the vehicle did stay intact enough and the seat belts worked well but the failure of airbags and the back seats slamming into the front seats to me does not seem like a car that received a 5 star crash test rating on rear collisions.
On us 23 in michigan, I was at a full stop. I was rear ended by a car driving at approximately 60-70 MPH. The impact propelled me into the rear end of another car. Neither my airbag nor the passenger airbag deployed. There were four of us in the car. We have all sustained significant injuries.
I was in a car in september of 2007. I was driving a 2007 pt cruiser. I rearend a truck infront of me doing approximately 30-35mph. My safety belt didn't lock and my air bags did not deploy. Needless to say my head hit full force into the steering wheel. Road conditions where dry. It was just stop & go traffic bumper to bumper. I just didn't react fast enough. I was told that the sensor for the air bag was located in the center of interior dash console.
Brakes failed on wet pavement and airbags didn't deploy.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 chrysler pt cruiser. While driving, the air bag indicator light illuminated and never dimmed. The vehicle has been taken to the dealer four times, but they cannot determine the cause of the failure. The speed was unknown. The current mileage was 18,200 and failure mileage was 17,800
