Takata recall:I was involved with a collision. I was crossing a two lane highway that was southbound, and I was going westbound crossing the other vehicle hit my front passenger side, both the passenger and the driver airbags deployed. I was in the car alone. When the plastic steering wheel cover partially popped off, and the airbag came out, the plastic cover cut my right hand 3rd finger, 80% severed the tendon and chipped the bone. Had to be surgically repaired. Date of the accident was 8/29/2016.
Tl*the contact owns a 2006 chrysler sebring convertible. While idling at a stop sign, the vehicle accelerated and began idling rapidly. On august 29, 2007, the dealer diagnosed the vehicle and stated that it was operating normal. The following day, the contact informed the insurance company that she did not feel safe driving the vehicle. On august 31, 2007, the failure recurred and the contact crashed into another vehicle. Both vehicles were damaged, but there were no injuries.
My 2006 chrysler sebring convertible top come up while drive 50 miles per hour it happened three times. I am sure the latch was properly inserted each time. The front end suspension jumps easily and brakes make a loud crunch at times. The windshield wipers are constantly loud...I can't use them. Replaced them and use soft compound to clean window and rain_x to no avail. I've had this vehicle to two different chrysler dealerships...they state no problem found. Also they refuse to give me a day loan car.
I applied pressure to the steering wheel to activate the horn and the horn would not stop blaring after I removed my hand. The only way to get it to stop was to lean heavily on the steering wheel where the horn is. I was in heavy traffic with no place to pull over, so it was a very dangerous situation. Ultimately, I had to remove the fuse that controls the horn and incidentally the air bags, rendering both the horn and air bags inoperable.
