I think their is a serious safety concern on the 2008 chrysler pt cruiser. The air bag off light on the dash is supposed to be illuminated when less than 30 lbs is in the seat. The airbag light off light never comes on. The airbag problem light however does come on and dings constantly. I have no idea if the passenger air bag is even working. I have seen this problem all over the internet and I think it is common. I do not think this should be overlooked.
