CarComplaints.com Notes: Chrysler has taken the boring small car frame of the Neon, grafted a 1930s-era roadster body on top and named it the PT Cruiser. While the new look may appeal to some, the vehicle has unfortunately also inherited many of the same problems as the Neon.

The contact owns a 2001 Chrysler PT CRUISER. The contact stated that the air bag light continues to go on and off and the warning chimes continue to sound. She has taken the vehicle to Chrysler who stated that the failure was caused by the air bag module. She took the vehicle to be serviced at a local gas station and they replaced the component, however, the failure still occurs. The cost to have the air bag module replaced was $300.

My airbag light has come on and the dealer says I need the entire module replaced. Vehicle has never been in an accident or bump of any kind. The module is not covered by the warranty. Why must the entire module be replaced. Isn't there a repair?
