Tl*the contact owns a 1996 chrysler sebring convertible. While driving approximately 35 MPH, the contact's vehicle was struck by another vehicle. The air bags deployed and the contact was trapped in her vehicle. The air bags released debris that began burning her face. There was also a large cloud of smoke as if chemicals were being released from the air bags. She was transported to the hospital and a physician stated that she received second degree burns. The contact has a copy of the police report and pictures of the failure. The manufacturer concluded that that air bags were not manufactured with any hazardous substances. The failure and current mileages were 140,000.

My airbag warning light periodically comes on for approx 30 seconds and then goes off. On 10/12/06 I was driving the vehicle and it came on and off and then remained on. I immediately telephoned the nearest dealership (livonia chrysler jeep, michigan) and took the vehicle in. The light was on and the technician hooked up a hand held diagnostic machine and a "passenger squib open" code came up. I was asked to leave the vehicle. I subsequently received a telephone call stating that the airbag light went off and there were four stored inactive codes. However, since there were no active codes, the problem could not be diagnosed. I inquired if the vehicle was safe to drive and would my airbags work if in an accident or could the airbag deploy for no reason. The representative could not advise me. I stressed my concern but was told to drive the vehicle until the light came on again and to bring it back in. Well, that is what I did this last time. I must admit that the representative was very nice and tried to help, but honestly did not have the answers. On 10/16/06 I picked up the vehicle. No light was on. On 10/17/06 I telephone chrysler customer service and was instructed to go back to the dealership. I am very concerned with my safety, as well as my family's, and am getting the run around with no answers. I rely on the experts at dealership and do not understand how they can acknowledge there are trouble codes and not be able to advise if the vehicle is safe. Please help! I should also note that eventhough the vehicle is a 1996, there are only 18,396 original miles on it.

While driving the SRS light came on. This indicates a failure in the air bag that could result in premature or none deployment of the air bag. The dealership was contacted and indicated that the air bag module needed to be replaced.
