1995 CHRYSLER Sebring Problems & Complaints

MY 95 CHRYSLER SEBRING HAS A SQUEAKING NOISE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE TOWARDS THE BACK TIRES I HAD IT CHECKED OUT THEY SAID THE RUBBER PIECE ON BY BALL JOINT IS GONE SO THE NOISE IS FROM THE METAL RUBBING AND TO BE CAREFUL CAUSE IT CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF NOT FIXED THE BALLJOINT WILL COME OFF AND TIRES. I ALSO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY APR'S SHIFTING OUT OF CONTROL WHILE DRIVING THAT I'VE ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT COUPLE TIMES I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE THE CAR THAT'S ALL I HAVE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1995 CHRYSLER SEBRING. SHE STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH WHEN THE WHOLE WHEEL AND THE BALL JOINTS CAME OFF OF THE AXLE, THE VEHICLE FELL ON THE GROUND. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL AUTO SHOP TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT IT WAS THE BALL JOINT CV AXLE THAT FAILED. NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY GAVE HER A CASE NUMBER STATING THAT SOMEONE WOULD CALL HER BACK . NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER, 00V421002, SUSPENSION FRONT CONTROL ARM, LOWER BALL JOINT IS RELATED TO THE FAILURE; HOWEVER, CHRYSLER STATED THAT THEY WOULD INFORM HER IF THE VEHICLE QUALIFIES. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 152,000.

2 YEARS AGO, WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 5-10 MPH THE RIGHT LOWER LATERAL BALL JOINT BROKE IN TWO, CAUSING $10,000.00 IN BODY REPAIRS, RECALL REPAIRS, ALL TO THE FRONT END OF MY CHRYSLER SEBRING.THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP HAD MY CAR FOR 3 MONTHS WORKING ON MY CAR. I NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE!!! JUST MINUTES BEFORE I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE, WE WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. NOW 2 YEARS LATER AND ONLY 18,000 MILES LATER MY CAR IS MAKING A NOISE IN THE WHEEL. I TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAY IT IS THE BALL JOINT ,( THE OTHER SIDE) THEY SAID IT IS A NON SERVICEABLE , IT HAS RUST AND IS DRY. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME MY CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE!!!!!THAT THE WHEEL COULD FALL OFF AGAIN!!! BUT THE PART IS NOT DEFECTIVE YET!!!! WHEN IS IT DEFECTIVE?????? WHEN I"M KILLED IN A WRECK??????? I CALLED CHRYSLER , THEY SAID THE DEALERSHIP OVERCHARGED AND THEY WILL NOT PAY ANYTHING ELSE, THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY WON'T FIX IT UNLESS AUTHORIZED BY CHRYSLER, SO HERE I AM WITH A CAR THAT I CAN NOT DRIVE AND A CAR PAYMENT AND CAR INSURANCE. MY CAR ONLY HAD HALF THE RECALL DONE< THE SIDE THAT IS MAKING NOISE NOW WAS NEVER REPLACED< THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME I HAD A WHOLE BRAND NEW FRONT END!!! I HAVE A CAR THAT I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN AND I CAN NOT EVEN GET IT FIXED UNDER A RECALL NOTICE , MY CAR WOULD HAVE BEEN CHEAPER TO BUY BACK THAN PUT ALL THAT MONEY INTO IT ($10,000) AND NOW WITH ONLY 18,000 MILES FROM THE FIRST REPAIRS , I DON"T FEEL SAFE AT ALL DRIVING MY CAR!!!! MY CAR HAS SAT FOR MONTHS , I NEED THIS PROBLEM RESOLVED , I'M TIRED OF ALL THE RUN AROUNDS AND EXCUSES , IT IS A SAFETY RECALL!!!!! *JB

THE ABS MODULATOR PUMP FAILED JUST AFTER BUYING THE VEHICLE "AS IS". I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, WHO HAD IT ALL DAY BEFORE DECIDING THAT THE PUMP WAS OUT, A $1600 REPAIR. I COULD NOT AFFORD THAT, NOR UNDERSTAND WHY IT HAD HAPPENED SO SOON, SO I FOUND A USED PUMP, AND PAYED TO HAVE IT INSTALLED. THE LIGHT WENT OUT AND IT WORKED FINE. TWO MONTHS LATER, THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND PAYED THEM AGAIN, AND AGAIN THEY SAID IT WAS THE PUMP. NOW THE LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY COMES ON AND GOES OFF. WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH THESE THINGS, AND WHY DO THEY COST SO MUCH? THERE ARE SIMPLY TOO MANY COMPLAINTS OF THIS NATURE TO IGNORE. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO STEP UP AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY.

THE SUPPORT MECHANISM THAT IS SUPPOSED TO KEEP THE TRUNK LID OPEN, SNAPPED OUT OF PLACE WITHOUT WARNING AND THE LID SLAMMED CLOSED. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD! THE LID IS VERY HEAVY AND CAN CAUSE A SERIOUS INJURY TO ANY PERSON REACHING UNDER IT TO REMOVE LUGGAGE, THE SPARE TIRE, ETC.. THIS IS MY DAUGHTER VALERIE'S FIRST CAR. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED SHE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SNAPPED THE MECHANISM BACK IN PLACE. IT CAME OFF AGAIN IN A FEW DAYS. ON 5/16/1999 I FOUND OUT THAT THE PROBLEM WAS STILL THERE AND TOLD MY WIFE AND MY DAUGHTER TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALER. THEY WENT TO MILTON RUBEN CHEVROLET ON 5/19/1999 WITH THE CAR AND SHOWED THE PROBLEM TO MR. CAL REUBER - MANAGER AT THE BODY SHOP DEPARTMENT. HE EXAMINED THE TRUNK AND TOLD US THAT THE MECHANISM WAS WORN OUT AND THAT NEW PARTS HAD TO BE ORDERED. HE INSRUCTED MY WIFE TO GO TO THE FRONT OFFICE. A LADY NAMED MICHELLE CAME OUTSIDE AND WROTE DOWN THE SERIAL NUMBER, THE MODEL, COLOR, ETC.. SHE ALSO WROTE DOWN MY DAUGHTER'S NAME AND TELEPHONE NUMBER. SHE SAID THAT THE SHE WOULD CALL WITHIN A WEEK. SHE NEVER DID. TODAY, I TOLD MY DAUGHTER TO CALL AND THEY SEEM NOT TO HAVE ANY INFORMATION. AGAIN SHE SAID SHE WOULD CALL BACK. NEVER DID. I TOLD MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER TO GO TO THE DEALER PERSONNALLY. THERE MR. CAL REUBER AND MS. MICHELLE APPEARED TO HAVE A HARD TIME REMEMBERING THEIR PROMISSES. I AM CONCERN THAT DELAY TACTICS ARE BEING USED WITH US IN ORDER TO MAKE US WAIT UNTIL THE EXPIRATION OF THE SERVICE CONTRACT AT 60,000 MILES AVOIDING TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR COST. I HAVE LOOKED AT THE MECHANISM AND IT IS A VERY POOR ENGINEERING DESIGN WHEN COMPARED WITH OTHER CHRYSLER CARS. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD! PLEASE HELP US PREVENT AN UNNECESSARY SERIOUS ACCIDENT! PLEASE DON'T HESITATE TO CONTACT ME FOR MORE DETAILS IF NECESSARY. THANKS, RAFAEL L. RIVERA - A CONCERNED FATHER. *AK

Owner Complaint

MY TWO BIGGEST CONCERNS ARE THE DOOR PANELS AND PASSENGER AIR BAG. I SAW THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL AS MY CAR YESTERDAY AND THE SAME DOOR PANEL WAS MISSING ON THAT CAR ALSO. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. THE DOOR PANEL SIMPLY BLEW OFF AS WE WERE GOING DOWN THE ROAD, POSING A THREAT FOR OTHERS ON THE ROAD. THE PASSENGER PANEL IS LOOSE. THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LOOKS AS THOUGH IT IS ABOUT TO DEPLOY. THE CORNERS ARE TURNED UP. PEOPLE ARE AFRAID TO RIDE IN MY FRONT SEAT DUE TO THE DANGER THE AIR BAG COULD DEPLOY. THESE ARE BOTH SAFETY ISSUES. I HOPE YOU WILL CONSIDER A RECALL AND REPLACEMENT OF DOOR PARTS. THANK YOU.*AK
