Tl*the contact owns a 2004 chrylser sebring. On seven occasions since she purchased the vehicle in july 2005, the air bag light was illuminated. The dealer has been unable to diagnose the failure or repair it. Chrysler advised her to have it diagnosed by another dealer. In september 2005, the dealer stated that the code was cleared and no repair at present was needed. One week after the the vehicle was diagnosed, the air bag light was illuminated. One month later, the dealer also stated that they performed a brb test, restored the code, checked the wiring and seat belt pretention. The air bag light continued to illuminate and the dealers stated that the contact complained about the light and they replaced the air bag control module. On july 16, 2007, the dealer stated that there were no codes and the vehicle was operating to factory specifications. The air bag light continued to illuminate and the manufacturer advised her to have the vehicle diagnosed at her expense; however, the contact stated that after seven attempts she doesn't feel the need to have it diagnosed due to the safety risk involved, it needs to be repaired. The fuel system was not available. The failure mileage was 24237 and the current mileage was 42000.
The air bag light came on and stayed on. Told it was a tensioner switch in the seat belt clip side. They want an over priced $200 to fix this problem. Plus $88 just to diagnose it. I think this was all quite over priced. I will baypass this switch shorting the wires before if I have to pay for something like this. Chrysler should pay for this regardless of in or out of warranty. This was a defective part it was their fault in my opinion.
The airbag light on my 2004 chrysler sebring convertible came one. Taking it to the dealer, they indicated the driver's side seat belt pre-tensioner needed to be replaced. It had already been replaced once before under warranty. The dealer stated that the car was 3 months out of warranty that it would be my responsibility to replace it. When I balked, the dealer "gave" me the part and charged me for the labor. I followed up with chrysler indicating that I felt this was a recurring safety related defect and as such, they should fix it for free. I was told that the free part was all the "goodwill" gesture that I would receive. The car currently has less than 14,000 miles on it and a component of the safety restrain system has already failed twice. Chrysler does not seem to be concerned, so I am filing a complaint with the federal safety agency as I feel that this is not an isolated occurrence.
Dt*: the contact stated the air bag light illuminated and the turn signals did not work. The dealership was alerted however, the vehicle has not been inspected.
I have owned 2 2004 chrysler sebring convt and both have had problems with the air bag light coming on. On vehicle #1 the seat belt tensioners were replaced on the front seats twice. I was in a collision in that car and it was a forceful front impact and the air bags did not deploy. Now I have had the second car for almost 6 months and the air bag light has already come on. I got upset and pulled the fuses out of the fuse box hoping the light on the dash would go off until I could get it to the repair shop on monday. When the fuses were replaced the repair shop told me all info was erased and when the light came back on to bring it back in.
Dt*: the contact stated at various speeds the vehicle stalled, but restarted each time. The dealership determined the engine had sludge in it and needed to be replaced. Also, the seat belt on driver's side sticks, and the airbag light stays on. Taken several times to the dealer to be fixed, but it was never fixed. Updated on 06/07/2006. *ak
2004 chrysler sebring has a recurring air bag problem.*mr the air bag light warning light would come on and go off numerous times while driving. A seat belt pre-tensioner was required, but that did not resolve the air bag light problem. The A/C would only blow on the highest setting. The left front window made a creaking noise when going up or down. The thermostat and gasket were replaced due to a coolant leak. The driver side mirror was loose.
Air bag lights come on while driving down the road. Driver side door does not close properly. Chrysler has not repaired because they claim they can't find problem.
