THE HORN IS NOT WORKING AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON, DIAGNOSED AS BROKEN CLOCKSPRING.

On 6/22/24 I made a left turn, stopped to park. I shifted the gear into reverse and heard a loud pop sound then smoke start coming from underneath the driver side of the hood. I put the car into park and lifted the hood, there were flames on the driver side of the car. The fire department was contacted and put the fire out. The car is totaled.

The steering wheel got stiff and hard to turn making turning a struggle. The shifting gears slipped and locked in place. The electronic throttle is is indicating a problem. These are just a problem over some time.

The contact owns a 2010 Chrysler Sebring. The contact stated that while the vehicle was idling, the air bag warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer however, the vehicle had not yet been diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 85,000.

Air bag light stays on at all times and it put fear of safety issue is a wreck is to happen. Driver seatbelt light doesn’t go off, it’s as though when putting the belt on even though it’s latched it isn’t and causes the warning light to stay on.

The driver seat has a part that wears out and causes the power seat to move forward and backward on its slide track. eventually the part will fail and the seat will slide right into the steering wheel which will impact the drivers chest. The power seat has two acme threaded rods that drive the seat rails forward/ backwards to allow driver to adjust the seat. the acme rods drive a custom screw block to allow the motion. when in static position only the screw block holds the seat and stops it from moving forward and backward. from what i can observe the acme rod is case hardened but the screw block is not. the screw block seems to wear out prematurely after four years. if left unaddressed the screw block could fail completely and allow the seat and passenger to hit the steering wheel while braking or in a front end collisdion.

The contact owns a 2010 Chrysler Sebring. The contact stated that while starting the vehicle, the air bag warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, and the dealer performed a recall repair under NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V668000 (Seat Belts, Air Bags). The dealer informed the contact that the recall was not related to the failure. The vehicle was then taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that an unknown part of the driver's side air bag needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 101,462.
