Airbag light staying on, and clicking noise in steering wheel when turning. Took to dealership where we purchased vehicle. They replaced a clock spring.
- Tulsa, OK, USA
Airbag/clock spring broke while making a right hand turn into a parking space. This failure made the airbag light come on and the steering to make a clicking sound while turning. I contacted the selling dealership and was advised to bring the car in as soon as I could. The airbag could deploy on it's own or may not deploy in case of a collision. I took the car to the dealership for repairs. I found technical service bulletin #0801001 and #1900702 pertaining to this problem and notified the dealership. The dealership repaired the car which I purchased new less than 2 years ago, but is out of warranty because of mileage. I was charged for the repairs. I think a safety issue, such as this, which is known about, should be covered under policy by the manufacturer.

While driving air bag warning light illuminated and stayed on the remainder of the time while vehicle was being operated. Dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem. A rattling noise could be heard in the dash area. The consumer found a nut and notified the dealer. The dealer informed the consumer that the nut did not belong in the dash and they insulated the dash so no more noise could be heard. The consumer feels the nut came from something in the dash. The seat belt pre-tensioner was replaced three times. The transmission fluid began to leak. The dealer determined that the cooler line clamps became loose and caused the transmission fluid to leak.

Second failure of 2002 Chrysler Sebring convertible air bag deployment. My wife had a head -on collision of left fender while turning. The airbag did not deploy. This is a the second time of an accident and the airbag did not deploy. My wife suffered a severe concussion again from the steering wheel although she was wearing a seat belt. Is there a sebring air bag problem similar to the Chrysler mini-van deployment. Car is currently located at dealer undergoing repairs.
