Possible takata recall!!! While coming down and around a corner on a highway there was a car turning and I did not have enough times to stop. Which caused me to rearend the other vehicle. It was a beautiful day so we had my 2006 chrysler sebring convertible top down. I was driving while my 15 year old daughter was in the front passenger seat. My12 year old daughter directly behind her and my 7 year old niece behind me. The front air bags deployed. My 15 year old whom was wearing her seatbelt was thrown forward due to her seatbelt locking mechanism not locking. Thankfully the seatbelt eventually caught her by the right thigh saving her from being ejected from the vehicle. She substained what could have easily been a life threatening laceration to left side (but more towards the middle) of her foreheard directly above her left eyebrow. The laceration was 8cm, the shape of a cross, and it was 3 layers deep. My younger daughter whom was directly behind her had a patch of skin on top of her left foot that was cut off. We are in the process of getting someone to come and take a look at the vehicle before the insurance company gets rid of it in the next week. We are not sure if my 15 year old daughter's head was cut from airbag shrapnel flying out since the size, shape, and location of the laseration is the same size, shape and location on one of the bigger trakata air bag injuries that is out there publicly. Or if her injury was due to her hitting her head on something due to the fact that her seatbelt locking mechanism was not working. Either way this needs to be looked into before someone else is injured or worse yet killed... Please look into this...* the passenger airbag light would go on every once and awhile but would then go off when you moved the passenger chair back or forth. The same problem the 2010 chrysler sebring convertibles are just now recalling.

While driving on a highway at high-speed, all the electrical instruments began flashing on/off. The airbag light began flashing and a chime could be heard. This occurs intermittently (3-5 times per year) and chrysler cannot properly diagnose the problem. This seems to happen most frequently while driving on the interstate while raining with the windshield wipers on high. On one occasion while travelling through the mountains of western pennsylvania on the turnpike at night in the rain the entire car went dark for about 10 seconds. It appeared that the system rebooted. Original owner.

While driving on a highway at high-speed, all the electrical instruments began flashing on/off. The airbag light began flashing and a chime could be heard. This occurs intermittently (3-5 times per year) and chrysler cannot properly diagnose the problem. With this latest incident, the dealership told me it would cost $800 for a new power control module. I researched online only to learn there are thousands of people with identical complaints about their chrysler vehicles, while the federal safety agency refuses to order a recall. I refuse to allow chrysler to perform work on this vehicle unless they can guarantee the repair and cap the cost. I purchased this vehicle new and chrysler failed to disclose two auto body repairs performed prior to sale - I discovered this on the chrysler website and since spent over $1,500 to repair it because chrysler refused to accept any responsibility after the lemon laws expired.

I have experienced steering problems and an airbag light on since I purchased this used 2010 sebring in june 2013 at the "naples dodge/chrysler" dealership. The car had/has popping creaking noises that came from the front end. I did some research and found out that chrysler has recalls on 2010 sebrings regarding the power steering (the federal safety agency campaign # 10va75000). I took in to be checked. The naples dodge service manager told me that my car model was not involved with the recall. Naples dodge did find a problem with the steering and replaced the steering gear, rack and pinion and adjusted the toe and alignment. The used car warranty paid for it except for my $50 deductible. Since this repair the airbag light remains on. I was told by the dealer serviceman that the light would go off after a while. It has never gone off. I had it checked twice and have been given two opinions on the air bag light. 1. It's ok ignore it 2. I have no airbag protection. I trust #2 mechanic and feel unsafe in this car, unlike any of the cars I've had in the past 45 years. To this day the steering feels funny, makes little popping noises, and the light is still on and chrysler has a new recall for airbags (the federal safety agency 14v35400). Lets see if the dodge/chrysler dealership takes any responsibility? I have had numerous expensive repairs with this 2010 sebring. I used to own a 2005 sebring and I had few problems and loved the car. Since fiat took over chrysler there are numerous complaints, according to mechanics and the general public. I believe the car has been engineered to fail. I have about $4,000 in repairs to prove it. I will never buy a chrysler again.

My airbag light came on and the dealer wants $550 to fix it. I think it is a safety issue and should not be so expensive to fix. I am now driving with no airbag due to a bad clockspring in the steering wheel. On my 1996 it was a recall and the dealer had to fix it for free, why don't they do it on this newer model. The cost is way too high for the part and amount of time it would take them to replace it.

2006 sebring convertible in 2007 fuses blew top stuck half open. Beginning mid 2010 fuses keep blowing, starter fuses keep blowing, dash lights go bright then dim, air bag light comes on and off intermittently, I don't know if it will deploy if needed. Heater gets warm and then goes cold for no reason then warm again. It won't start at all now even with a jump. Spend hundreds of dollars new battery, checked alternator, it still won't start. Towing it to electrical tomorrow this car is not that old.

Horn keeps going off by it self. Now I have no horn and the airbag light keeps coming on. I have checked other web sites and this is a well known issue with the sebring why isn't this on recall? I have been cut off on several occasions where a horn was needed I came very close to be running off the road several times do to the other driver not looking in blind spots where as if I had a horn I could have used it instead of being ran off the road.

This is the date of the last incident, but there have been at least 5 other incidents before this. I own a 2006 chrysler sebring convertible. My horn goes off for no reason, a long (about 30 seconds at a time) uninterrupted beep while I'm driving and also while the car is parked and off. This is a huge safety issue for me. I researched it on the internet and apparently a lot of people have this issue with 2005 and 2006 convertibles because of the way the airbag hits the horn. Because of this, the airbag light goes on and off constantly. Chrysler does not cover this defect, and it is a costly repair, from what I've heard. Not recalling this car part is causing hundreds of people to remove their horn fuse, which is a huge safety issue also.
