I GOT IN MY CAR TO DRIVE HOME AND AS SOON AS I STARTED THE CAR AND TURNED THE WHEEL JUST A LITTLE, I HEAR A POPPING SOUND COMING FROM THE STEERING WHEEL. THE LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD CAME ON STATING "AIR BAG". I HAVE ALREADY HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE BALL JOINTS I HAD TO REPLACE MYSELF AND OTHER ISSUES WITH THIS CAR. NOW I HAVE A FAULTY AIR BAG THAT IS MAKING NOISE EVERY TIME I TURN THE WHEEL. I ALSO FOUND OUT I HAVE NO HORN. IT DOES NOT WORK SINCE THE AIR BAG IS FAULTY. I AM NOT PROTECTED WITH AN AIR BAG AND CAN NOT DEFEND MYSELF WITH MY CAR HORN...I NEED HELP! *TR

I AM CONCERNED WITH A FEW THINGS ON MY 2002 DODGE STRATUS SE 4 DOOR. ONE, I FEEL THAT THE ABS SYSTEM ON MY CAR DID NOT WORK PROPERLY. I HAD TO DO AN EMERGENCY STOP WITH MY CAR IN WHICH MY WHEELS LOCKED UP AND THE CAR PROCEEDED TO "LAUNCH FORWARD" AT LEAST 10 FEET EVEN THOUGH MY FOOT WAS STILL ON THE BRAKE PEDAL.THERE WERE NO SKID MARKS. I ENDED UP HITTING A WOMAN IN FRONT OF ME WHO HAD JACKED UP. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT I WAS ONLY TRAVELING AT ABOUT 25 MPH HAVING JUST COME THROUGH A LIGHT. IN ADDITION TO THAT, EVEN THOUGH I WAS WEARING MY SEATBELT, I STILL HIT THE DASHBOARD WITH MY KNEE AND THE STEERING WHEEL WITH MY CHIN. NORMALLY WHEN I COME TO A STOP AT A STOP SIGN MY SEAT BELT GETS TIGHTER WHEN I STEP ON THE...

BRAKES FAILED WHILE APPLYED AT 55 MPH, BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR, AND CAUSED A VEHICLE CRASH. DEALER NOTIFIED. *AK THE VEHICLE FLIPPED OVER THREE TIMES EJECTING THE PASSENGER AND INJURING THE DRIVER CRITICALLY. THE AIR BAG FAILED TO DEPLOY DURING THE ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLE HAD CRUISE CONTROL AND SEAT BELT PROBLEM AND EXPERIENCED A TIRE BLEW OUT. *YH
