2007 Chrysler Sebring Airbags Problems

There were 7 recalls on my make, year, model vehicle. Three of which were Brakes, Air Bags, and the TPMS tire monitoring system. Other body parts, doors and hood releases had recalls along with hvac/air conditioning systems. Radiator/fan motor failures. Doors flying open during transit. The ABS control module could cause the brakes to lock-up during braking. Shorts from unused connectors for the computer/TPMS system/brakes and air bags have been causing many unpredictable breakdowns. Some predictable, from past records, state recorded Instances from 180,963 vehicles that just failure of the TPMS monitor system has already caused engine no start, dead battery, Inoperable cruise control, remote start system, engine stalling which could cause a "crash without warning". This was what i read on the www.autoblog site concerning this vehicle. I contacted the Chrysler Recall Center and the site says the dealer's techs would seal the wiring "free of charge", and to replace the front seat track position sensors "free of charge". The recall center said they wouldn't do any repairs at their "free of charge" policy for ME. They said that I would have to pay out-of-pocket, when the site says they already serviced 180,963 vehicles "free of charge". I'm broke and on fixed income. Why are they being so unfair. From what I heard, and I could be wrong, but I was made to believe that there is no expiration date for recalls. If they already state online, some of the recalls could cause a "crash without warning", why would they refuse me? This happened yesterday to me. The Check TPMS System warning notice appeared, along with the Air Bag Red warning light at the top of the speedometer, while I was driving. The tire pressure screen appeared showing the tire pressure of the four tires. They are all fully Inflated. The Air Bag red light came on/off a few times, while driving home and the tire pressure screen remains on all the time. I don't want an accident.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN IN FOR A LONG TIME. I KNOW SOMEONE THAT HAS THE SAME CAR AND THEIR CAR HAS THE SAME ISSUE. ALSO THE TRUE GAGE READER IS MALFUNCTIONING. NOW I HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR STALLING ON THE ROADWAY. I CALLED CHRYSLER ABOUT THE RECALLS AND THE SAID EVERYTHING HAS BEEN TAKEN CARE OF. THEY COULDN'T TELL ME WHO BROUGHT THE CAR IN FIR REPAIRS. I'VE HAD THE CAR FOR 8 YEARS. I DONT THINK THE ISSUES HAVE BEEN RESOLVED. THEY SHOULD AT LEAST BE ABLE TO SEE WHO BROUGHT THE CAR IN FIR THE REPAIRS. THE HEADLIGHTS WILL SOMETIMES GO OFF WHEN GOING AROUND TURNS. I MET THE PREVIOUS OWNER AND HE TOLD ME THAT THESE ISSUES ARE WHY HE GOT RID OF THE CAR. PLEASE HELP ME GET THE RECALLS FIXED SO SOMETHING BAD DOESN'T HAPPEN TO US IN THIS CAR.

I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT MY AIRBAG LIGHT COMING ON 1-2 TIMES A MONTH. DOES THAT MEAN THE AIR BAGS MAY SUDDENLY DEPLOY WHILE I AM SITTING AT A LIGHT, OR NOT DEPLOY WHEN INVOLVED IN A CRASH? MY SECOND CONCERN IS THAT MY DASHBOARD LIGHTS STARTED DIMMING AND EVENTUALLY WENT OUT ON THEIR OWN. I CANNOT DRIVE AT NIGHT ANY MORE.I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND THINKING IT WAS A SIMPLE FUSE PROBLEM. NO, IT HAS TO DO WITH THE MECHANIC REMOVING THE DASHBOARD AND GOING INTO THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER BOX AND REPLACING SIMETHING IN THERE. I HAVE BEEN QUOTED $350.00-TO 375.00 DOLLARS.CANNOT AFFORD THAT. MY NEW PROBLEM: DRIVING HOME, GETTING READY TO BACK UP MY DRIVE WAY, THE CAR IS RUNNING HOT, WHEN I WENT TO SHIFT FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE,THE CAR CUT OFF.HAD A HARD TIME TAKING THE CAROUT OF REVERSE TO PARK. LIKE IT WAS STUCK OR JAMMED.MY NEIGHBORS CAME OUT TO HELP PUSH IT OUT OF THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET AND THE FRONT WHEELS WERE LOCKED. THE MEN EVENTUALLY GOT IT PUSHED TO THE SIDE OF THE STREET. THE CAR STARTS AN RUN S WITH NO PROBLEM MY MECHANIS TELLS ME IT IS THE GEAR SHIFTER CABLE US BROKEN. I THOUGHT TOSE WERE MADE TO LAST IN A CAR. MY CAR IS NOW LOCKED IN PARK UNTIL I CANGET THAT FIXED. AS A SENIOR ON A FIXED INCOME I CANNOT AFFORD TO DRIVE THIS OLD CAR I HAVE SADLY PAID FOR.
