"takata recall" the airbag warning light comes on frequently. My daughter also has a Sebring convertible and her does the same thing only it is a 2002. This seems more than a coincidence. This happens when the vehicles are in motion. Sometimes a warning sound happens and sometimes not on both vehicles.

Warming the car in the driveway and both airbags deployed. Private driveway, no collision or other possible shock. The air bag indicator had been lit for approx 2 months and I had scheduled repairs but had not had them completed. Car was at idle after approx 10 minutes of idle running.
Car cold stalls, stalls when at traffic lights, engine shakes violently, brakes squeal an grind, when starting car floods itself and cannot be turned on for a few hours, had an accident at 44-50 mph and airbag did not deploy, gears stick and do not come out of gear at times:insurance was called at time of accident and said no reason could be identified as to why airbag did not deploy. Car has had new brakes every 3-4 months, brand new cooling system, tune-up, oil change every 2500-3000 miles, dealership updated software, cold start stalling problem could not be duplicated, check engine light keeps coming on and off and no problems found at auto shop. I contacted the dealership and they informed me that since the car was used they were not going to and could not do anything about it and refused to check anything out or even listen to my concerns. I have researched and there have been many complaints on this model of vehicle doing all of these things. Since the first initial time of problem problems have continued. Car is at 96,000 miles but has left me strandeded since and keep having to replace parts.
On Sunday morning I was traveling North bound on I-35 passing the I-35 & I-40 junction traveling about 60 miles per hour, when on my drivers side I noticed a white Dodge neon coming over into my lane. I immediately honked horn and moved over slightly. Car continued to come over into my lane so I hit my brakes which slowed me down some to about 50 miles per hour, and then my cars front end started vibrating vigorously and car went into tailspin and hit head on into center highway concrete median and then tailend swung around and also hit median on passenger side of vehicle. My airbags did not deploy and I want to investigate if they had previously deployed and were not re-installed properly. Or if the vehicle manufacturer had a defect in the airbags themselves.
2004 Chrysler Sebring convertible 2.7 liter engine failure. This engine seized while I was driving luckily it I was only going 35 mph and I had time to pull the vehicle off the road. This vehicle has had an air bag light on since I bought it and no dealership has been able to solve the problem there has been numerous issues with the car throughout the three years I have owned it. I am a single parent who is without a car for over two months now but paying $350 a month on it. I have maintained this car on a regular basis and Chrysler has denied the claim even though every mechanic I have talked to says this is a common problem with the engine. I have to invest almost $5,000 in a car this month that blue books at maybe $8,000. I will never buy another Chrysler again and want anyone that is considering one of their products to reconsider. This issue can crush you financially I had to decide weather to let them repo the car and devastate me financially or to just save all of my extra money to make the repair. It has been the most financially devastating event in my life. I serviced this car regularly through individuals and sometimes jiffylube but it still was maintained. Regardless this is a well known defect and any vehicle that is only three years old and has 80,000 miles on it should not have a blown engine. I trusted this car would at least last me through my loan. This is irresponsible on Chrysler part for not taking some responsibility for these cars how could they abuse the public in this way.

The contact owns a 2004 Chrysler Sebring. While driving 30 mph, the contact's vehicle crashed into the side of another vehicle. There were no injuries. The entire front end of the contact's vehicle was damaged. The air bags failed to deploy. The contact was wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash. The road conditions were dry. A police report was filed. The current and failure mileages were 35,000.
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.
