A QUIET SQUEALING NOISE UNDER THE HOOD OVER A PERIOD OF 3 TO 4 MONTHS GETTING LOUDER LEADING TO TROUBLE STARTING CAR AND FINALLY CAR WOULD NOT START WITH JUMP AND NEW BATTERY. TOOK CAR TO MECHANIC AND IT TURNED OUT TO BE A SIMPLE FROZEN PULLEY EXCEPT FOR THE FACT IT WAS CONNECTED TO THE AIR-CONDITIONER SHAFT. THE PULLEY CAN NOT BE REMOVED WITHOUT REPLACING THE AC UNIT AND SERPENTINE BELT. THIS DESIGN IS APPARENTLY ON MANY CHRYSLER MODELS AND IS A VERY EXPENSIVE FIX SHOULD AND WHEN IT OCCURS. *TR

MY CAR DISPLAYS THE LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT WHEN IDLE. THERE IS NOW THE PRESENCE OF COOLANT IN MY OIL AND WHITE SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER MY HOOD AND FROM THE EXHAUST. WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS POSTED AND DOCUMENTED ABOUT THE CHRYSLER/DODGE 2.7L ENGINE, I AM UNABLE TO AFFORD INCURRING A MECHANIC BILL JUST TO FIND OUT I NEED A NEW ENGINE. THE WHITE SMOKE AND COOLANT/OIL MIX HAPPENED ON NEW YEARS DAY AND I HAVE CEASED DRIVING THE CAR FOR FEAR OF SEIZING THE ENGINE. *TR

I DROVE INTO A GAS STATION AND AS I PULLED IN THE TIRE SOUNDED AS IF IT WAS FLAT I CHECKED IT AND IT LOOKED FINE.I TRIED TO DRIVE OF AND THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE WHEEL DID NOT MOVE.I REMOVED THE TIRE IN THE PARKING LOT TO TRY AND FIND OUT WHAT WAS WRONG, I COULDN'T SEE ANY VISUAL ISSUES. AS I BACKED OUT TO TRY AND DRIVE THE CAR THE BALLJOINT CAME OUT. I HAD TO PAY TO GET MY CAR TOWED FROM NEW JERSEY BACK TO MY TOWN IN NY FOR $110 AND THEN ON TOP OF THAT HAD TO PAY TO GET TOWED AGAIN TO A MECHANIC AND WITH THE REPAIR FEES ENDED UP SPENDING $500 FOR REPAIRS. ALSO MY OIL LIGHT COMES ON WHEN THE CAR IS IN IDLE. EVEN CAME ON AS SOON AFTER I GOT AN OIL CHANGE. *TR

COMING TO A STOP AND TURNING RIGHT. NOISE AND WHEEL JUST FELL FLAT ON ROADWAY. LOWER BALL JOINT DISCONNEDTED AND MADE STEERING IMPOSSIBLE AND CAR UNCONTROLLABLE. AFTER REPAIR ABOUT 6 MONTHS LATER THE SAM WHEEL TOP BALL JOINT DISCONNECTED AND NEARLY RESULTED IN A ACCIDENT ON A BUSY STREET. THE MECHANIC WHO REPAIRED ALSO CHECKED THE DRIVER SIDE BALL JOINTS AND I WAS TOLD THEY WERE WITHIN SPECS. IN MAY OF 2014 WHILE DRIVING AROUND 50 MILES AN HOUR THE BOTTOM BALLJOINT ON THE DRIVER SIDE DISENGAGED AND THE STEERING WAS LOST AND THE TIRE FELL FLAT AND NEARLY CAUSE A HEAD ON CRASH. I HAVE HAD MANY CARS AND DIVEN FOR YEARS AND THIS HAS NEVR HAPPENED IN MY LIFE. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THESE VEHICLES ASAP. SOME RESEARCH INDICATES THAT THE CASTING ON THE BALL JOINT RING WERE HEAT TREATED IMPROPERLY AND CHRYSLER IT AWARE THAT THIS COULD HAVE AND RESULT IN TH WHELL SEPARATION FROM THE CONTROL ARM LEADING TO STEERING LOST TO THE VEHILE AND DANGER TO THE OCCUPANTS.. *TR

NEXT TO SHEET METAL, ALSO THEY WERE NOT PAINTED. THE NEW ONES ARE AT LEAST PAINTED. IT DOES NOT SEEM TO ME TO BE VERY SMART TO HAVE ALUM.. MOUNTS AND UNPROTECTED." "THE CONTACT STATED AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, A NOISE WAS HEARD COMING FROM THE REAR SECTION OF THE VEHICLE. AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP DETERMINED THE DRIVER SIDE REAR STRUT MOUNT WAS CORRODED AND FELL APART. THE PART WAS REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS LOCATED IN A SALT BELT STATE."

STEERING

AT 41,000 MILES MY 2002 CHRYSLER SEBRING LXI 4 DOOR SEDAN REQUIRED THE REPLACEMENT OF RIGHT OUTER TIE ROD. I WAS TOLD AT THAT TIME IF IT HAD FAILED IT WOULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR AND POSSIBLY DEADLY ACCIDENT. ONE YEAR TO THE DAY - AT 47,000 MILES THE LEFT OUTER TIE ROD REQUIRED REPLACEMENT. THERE WERE NO ACCIDENTS NOR EVENTS WHICH LEAD UP TO THESE FAILURES. *TR

PROBLEMS WITH THE FRONT END, STEERING. IT LOCKS UP AND BECOMES VERY TIGHT THEN VERY LOOSE. I WAS TOLD POSSIBLY RACK-AND-PINION BY A MECHANIC. AFTER LOOKING AT THESE COMPLAINTS ON THE WEB SITE, I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. I HAVE 2002 SEBRING W/87,000 MILES. I WILL HAVE IT CHECKED OUT MONDAY FOR SURE. HOW DO I GET CHRYSLER TO FIX THIS? *JB

POWER STEERING RACK AND RUST ISSUE. *JB
Sep 06, 2006
THE PROBLEM TO MY CAR HAPPENED WHILE IT WAS SITTING IN THE GARAGE. MY 2002 SEBRING CONVERTIBLE HAS HAD A COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE STEERING RACK AND TIE RODS AT 28,000+ MILES. THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE DEALER STATED IT WAS $1800. REPAIR. A CALL TO CHRYSLER SERVICE RESULTED IN AM OFFER TO PAY FOR THE PARTS NOT THE $1000. LABOR CHARGE. I CALLED BACK TO NEGOTIATE THIS OFFER. I WAS PROMISED A CALL BACK WHICH I RECEIVED BY VOICE MAIL ASKING ME TO RETURN THE CALL AND STATING THAT WAS THERE BEST OFFER. . WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO RETURN THE CALL TO THE PERSON WHO LEFT THE MESSAGE I WAS HUNG UP ON TWICE. I AM STILL TRYING TO COMMUNICATE WITH CHRYSLER BY PHONE SO FAR AFTER SEVERAL HOURS I AM STILL UNSUCCESSFUL. AFTER CHECKING ON THE WEB I FOUND MANY INCIDENTS OF THIS KIND REPORTED BY OTHER SEBRING OWNERS. WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN A RECALL ON THIS OBVIOUS DEFECT THAT COULD BE LIFE THREATING? THIS IS A LIGHTLY DRIVEN CAR AND SHOULD NOT HAVE SUFFERED THIS TYPE OF DANGEROUS FAILURE. *JB

WHEELS
11 complaints
WHY IS CHRYSLER ALLOWED TO GET AWAY WITH THEIR RIM PROBLEMS? WE HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH TWO SEPARATE CHRYSLER VEHICLES' RIMS BEING UNSUITABLE FOR CONSUMER SAFETY. ONE CAUSED A BLOWOUT ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY, THE OTHER CAUSES CONSTANT AIR PRESSURE ISSUES. THE RIM ACTUALLY HAS A CORROSION CRACK ON THE FLAT PART OF THE RIM, NOT EVEN ON THE BEAD (THAT IS THE PROBLEM WITH THE OTHER RIM). IF YOU HAVE A CHRYSLER, HAVE YOUR RIMS CHECKED REGULARLY. CHRYSLER CONVENIENTLY KEPT THIS OFF THEIR WARRANTY PROGRAM. PERHAPS THEY KNEW SOMETHING??? *TR
Jan 05, 2012
SINCE I HAVE PURCHASE MY NEW CAR, 2002 CHRYSLER SEBRING, KEEPING THE TIRES INFLATED HAVE BEEN A PROBLEM. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS THE TIRES. THE CAR HAS BEEN SERVICED BY GOODYEAR AND THE CAR STILL HAS PROBLEMS HOLDING AIR IN THE TIRES. LATER I CHANGED TIRE MANUFACTURERS AND HAD FIRESTONE TIRES PUT ON. THE TIRES STILL NEED AIR PUT IN THEM EVERY 2-3 DAYS. FIRESTONE HAS SERVICED THE LEAK ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. WE TRIED PUTTING TUBES IN THE TIRES AND I HAVE GONE THROUGH 3 TUBES IN TWO WEEKS. THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE RIMS STOCKED FROM CHRYSLER. IT IS NOT A TIRE PROBLEM. THESE ALUMINUM RIMS ARE NOT COVERED UNDER STANDARD OR EXTENDED WARRANTY. FIRESTONE MENTIONED THAT THEY HAVE A CHRYSLER 300M WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AS MINE. THE TIRES WON'T SEAL ON THE RIMS. I HAVE HEARD OF OTHER CHRYSLERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND WOULD LIKE TO LAUNCH A FORMAL COMPLAINT TO HAVE THIS LOOKED INTO. IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE THE CAR WITH THIS PROBLEM (LOW TIRE PRESSURE AND FLAT TIRES). LAST NIGHT I WALKED TO THE DARK PARKING LOT AFTER WORK TO FIND ANOTHER FLAT TIRE ON MY CAR AGAIN. PLEASE HELP MAKE CHRYSLER OWN FIXING THIS PROBLEM. *TR
Nov 21, 2007
FOR SOME TIME NOW I HAVE BEEN FORCED TO REPLACE ALL MY TIRES ONCE, AND BRING MY CAR INTO NTB MULTIPLE TIMES REGARDING MY TIRES GOING FLAT DESPITE THAT THE CAR COULD SIT IN MY GARAGE ALL WEEK, AFTER SPEAKING WITH NTB THEY SAID THEY DEAL WITH THESE THINGS ALL THE TIME, A CHRYSLER PULLS IN AND HE CAN TELL YOU EXACTLY WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. THE WHEEL RIM ON THE CHROME ONES, ARE CORRODING CAUSING A RIM LEAK, THIS CAUSES MANY UNINFORMED CUSTOMERS TO GO OUT AND BUY BRAND NEW TIRES WHEN THIS IS NOT NECESSARY, IT ALSO FORCES CUSTOMERS TO WASTE TIME EITHER BY HAVING THEIR CAR CHECKED OUT EVERY MONTH B.C OF THESE LEAKS OR MAKE THEM STOP AT A GAS STATION AND FILL THEIR TIRES UP WITH AIR LIKE I DO. I PLEASE ASK YOU ALL WHO READ THIS TO WRITE TO CHRYSLER TO EXPLAIN TO THEM THIS POOR PERFORMANCE, I HAVE READ OTHERS COMPLAINTS WHICH COULD LEAD TO BLOW OUTS, AS FAR AS I LAST CHECKED THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND ADDRESSED NOW! CHRYLSER GET OFF YOUR LAZY BUTTS AND DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR WORSE KILLED, AND IF THAT HAPPENS I HOPE THEY SUE YOUR COMPANY TO BANKRUPTCY AND I'LL BE HAPPY BUYING FOREIGN. *JB
Oct 18, 2007
I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY TIRES. THEY KEEP LEAKING AND LUG NUTS WON'T TIGHTEN. I'VE BEEN TOLD BY TWO GARAGES THAT MY RIMS ARE DEFECTIVE AND OF POOR QUALITY. RIMS ARE OXIDATED AND CORRODED ON MY 2002 CHRYSLER SEBRING. I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT DRIVING THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS. *JB
May 12, 2006
DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE ALUMINUM WHEELS HAVE BECOME PITTED OVER TIME WITH NORMAL USE. THE PITS ALLOWED AIR TO ESCAPE THROUGH THE SIDEWALL, WHERE THE RIM AND TIRE MEET. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY A DEALER WHO DETERMINED THE WHEELS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED WITH STAINLESS STEEL IN ORDER TO AVOID THE SAME PROBLEM IN THE FUTURE.

WE WERE THE ORIGINAL OWNERS OF THIS CHRYSLER SEBRING LIMITED 2.7L. TOOK THE CAR IN FOR REGULAR SERVICE. OI CHANGES, AIR FILTER, TUNE-UPS, YOU NAME IT. WE MADE SURE TO KEEP THIS CAR UP AND THE ENGINE RUNNING. AT 100752 THE ENGINE BLEW. SINCE THE CAR WAS OUT OF TOWN WE HAD IT TOWED TO A LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS. THEY INFORMED US THAT THE ENGINE HAD SLUDGE BUILD UP AND THE ENGINE WOULD NOT MOVE. AT THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE DEALERSHIP WE HAD THE ENGINE REPLACED WITH A USED 2.7L CHRYSLER ENGINE. LESS THAN A YEAR LATER THE WATER PUMP WENT SO WE REPLACE THAT. WE WERE TOLD THAT THE THAT SECOND ENGINE ALSO HAD SLUDGE BUILD UP. THEY REPLACED THE OIL AND FILTER. 2 MONTHS LATER THAT ENGINE BLEW UP AS WELL FROM THE SLUDGE BUILD UP. AT THAT POINT WE DECIDED NOT TO THROW GOOD MONEY AFTER BAD AND DUMPED THE CAR. THIS IS A PRODUCTION DEFECT OF THE 2.7L CHRYSLER ENGINE THAT WAS INSTALLED IN OUR 2002 SEBRING. WE KEPT UP OUR END OF THE BARGAIN AND TOOK THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE. CHRYSLER SHOULD PAY DAMAGES FOR A FAULTY ENGINE. THIS VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE LASTED MUCH LONGER. *TR

THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ON ALL THE CHYSLERS IF THIS IS AN KNOWN ISSUE ABOUT THE SUSPENSION AND STEERING OF PARTS. IT IS TOO EXPSENIVE TO FIX . *TR
Nov 03, 2014
I KNEW ABOUT AN ACTIVE RECALL ON CONTROL ARMS FOR THIS MAKE/MODEL CAR, YET WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THEY CLAIMED MY VIN WAS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH ANY RECALLS. SOON AFTER, MY CAR STARTED TO MAKE NOISE AND THE CONTROL ARM/BALL JOINT FAILED CAUSING DAMAGE TO MY CAR WHILE DRIVING AND ALMOST CAUSING ACCIDENT. *TR
Oct 04, 2014
MY FRONT END CONTROL ARM AND BALL JOINT COLLAPSED, CAUSING OTHER PARTS TO BE DAMAGED. EVER SINCE THIS HAS HAPPEN MY CHRYSLER HAS NEVER BEEN THE SAME. MY INSURANCE COMPANY DID TRY AND FIX THE PROBLEM, BUT TO MY DISMAY NOTHING HAS BEEN CORRECTED. I AM NOW BEING TOLD THAT MY CAR THE CHRYSLER SEBRING ALWAYS HAVE MAJOR FRONT END SUSPENSION ISSUES. SINCE THIS IS THE CASE, I BELIEVE CHRYSLER SHOULD CORRECT THE PROBLEMS ON THESE MAKES AND MODEL. I WOULD LIKE TO FEEL SAFE IN MY CAR, HOWEVER I DO NOT. I HAVE BEEN SPENDING MONEY FRIVOLOUS TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. I HOPE THAT CHRYSLER CAN CORRECT THIS ISSUE IMMEDIATELY ON MY CAR. PLEASE HELP. *TR

SERIOUS VIBRATION WHEN BRAKING. HAD TO HAVE FRONT AND REAR BRAKES REPLACED AND ALL ROTORS RESURFACED. *JB
Feb 24, 2006
ON 2/5/05 CAR STARTED TO VIBRATE EVERY TIME I APPLIED THE BRAKE. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER 2/8/05. THE REP CALLED TO SAY THE CAR NEEDED BRAKE PADS AND THAT THE ROTORS COULD NOT BE TURNED BECAUSE THE PROBLEM HAD GONE ON TOO LONG. WHEN ASKED WHAT PROBLEM HE INDICATED THAT THE BRAKES HAD BEEN SCRAPING. I TOLD HIM THAT WAS NOT TRUE. HE THEN INDICATED THAT THE ROTORS WERE WARPED AND THAT A LOT OF SEBRINGS AND 300 M'S CAME IN FOR WARPED ROTORS. I ASKED IF THAT WERE NOT AN INDICATION THAT THE ROTORS WERE DEFECTIVE. HE ANSWERED, WELL YES AND NO. ON A CAR WITH LESS THAN 40,000 MILES, THE BRAKES AND ROTORS WERE REPLACED. MY TICKET ONLY SHOWS THAT THEY WERE REPLACED. IF THE DEALER DOES NOT REPORT POTENTIAL PROBLEMS TO THE MANUFACTURER HOW CAN CONSUMERS BE SAFE. WARPED ROTORS COULD COMPROMISE THE ABS SYSTEM AND BRING GREAT BODILY HARM TO THE DRIVER, PASSENGERS, AND ANYONE HIT BY THE VEHICLE. *JB

Oct 06, 2004
BRAKING DOES NOT SEEM TO WORK PROPERLY, CAR FISHTAILS WHILE BRAKING, ESPECIALLY ON DAMP OR WET SURFACES, TO THE POINT THAT I HAVE ALMOST HIT OTHER VEHICLES EVEN WITH PLENTY OF ADVANCED STOPPING DISTANCE. THE CAR IS ALMOST OUT OF CONTROL TO DRIVE ON A WET ROAD, AND IT CERTAINLY ISN'T COMPLETELY EFFECTIVE ON DRY ROAD SURFACES. PROBLEM HAS OCCURED SINCE VEHICLE WAS BRAND-NEW, AND BRAKES/ROTORS ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.*AK
Mar 03, 2004
THE BRAKING SYSTEM ON OUR 2002 CHRYSLER SEBRING SEEMS INADEQUATE. HARD APPLICATON ON A VERY COLD AND WET ROAD AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS DOES NOT RESULT IN BRAKE LOCK UP. I UNDERSTAND LOCK UP IS BAD, BUT CERTAINLY THE CAR SHOULD HAVE ENOUGH BRAKING POWER TO LOCK THE BRAKES UNDER THOSE CONDITIONS

I HAVE ATTACHED THE PAPERWORK 4 MY 2002 CHRYSLER SEBRING. AS YOU CAN SEE MY FIRST PAYMENT WAS APRIL 13TH 2018 THIS WAS MY DEPOSIT $700. AGAIN ON APRIL 24TH I PAID ANOTHER $600. MAY 20TH I PAID ANOTHER $700. JUNE 5TH I PAID $105. JUNE 5TH IS WHEN I TOOK POSSESSION OF THE CAR. JULY 1ST IS WHEN I HAD THE CAR ACCIDENT, WHERE I WAS INFORMED THAT THE DAMAGE ON THE CAR WAS SO SEVERE BECAUSE THE UNDERCARRIAGE WAS ALL RUSTED OUT. THE CAR WAS TOTALED. THE FIRST DAY I TOOK THE CAR HOME THE BATTERY WAS DEAD I HAD TO BUY ANOTHER BATTERY FOR $75. I NOTICED THE CAR WAS BOTTOMING OUT I TOLD THE MECHANIC JIM WHO IS ALSO THE MAN THAT SOLD ME THE CAR AND HE ASSURED ME IT WAS SAFE. THEY HAD THREE MONTHS TO CHECK THE WHOLE CAR OUT AND MAKE SURE IT WAS SAFE AND IT SAT IN THE SAME SPOT UNTIL I PICKED IT UP. NOW EITHER THEY NEVER CHECKED THE CAR OR THEY CHECKED THE CAR AND SOLD IT TO ME ANYWAY. THE WAY I SEE IT IS THEY WERE WRONG EITHER WAY. NOT TO MENTION THAT JIM THE SO-CALLED MECHANIC IS THE ONE WHO SOLD IT TO ME. RIGHT AFTER THE BATTERY DIED THE RADIO TOOK A CRAP. THEY ALSO CHARGED ME EXTRA 4 TAX TAGS AND TITLE WHICH WAS SUPPOSED TO BE INCLUDED IN THE $2,000 THAT THEY WANTED FOR THE CAR. I TRIED TO NEGOTIATE WITH THEM SEEING THAT IT WAS UNDER A MONTH THAT I ACTUALLY HAD THE CAR IN MY POSSESSION I EXPLAINED TO JIM WHAT THE POLICE TOLD ME ABOUT BEING ALL RUSTED BUT THEY INSISTED I HAD THE CAR TOO LONG AND THAT THEY WEREN'T GOING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. SO HERE WE ARE. I HAVE A PERSONAL INJURY CASE GOING ON RIGHT NOW, I WAS TOLD I NEEDED YOUR TYPE OF ATTORNEY TO FIGHT LLAPI AUTO SALES HUDSON FLA. FLORA IS THE PERSON WHO "MADE THE SALE" (HER NUMBER IS 727-478-5632), BUT IT WAS JIM THE MECHANIC WHO REALLY SOLD ME THE CAR, THAT'S WHY I TRUSTED HIS WORD IT WAS SAFE.

AFTER DRIVING OFF THE LOT WITH A NEW 2002 CHRYSLER SEBRING LXI, CONSUMER OBSERVED A NOISE FROM THE LOWER DRIVERS SIDE AND FELT VIBRATION FROM THE STEERING COLUMN. THE NOISE IS A RATTLING NOISE THAT SOUNDS LIKE METAL SLAPPING OR TAPPING AGAINST METAL. THIS OCCURS REGULARLY AT HIGH AND LOW SPEEDS ONCE THE ENGINE REACHES NORMAL OPERATIONS (AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN DRIVING FOR A FEW MINUTES). THE DEALER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED THREE TIMES AND HAS NOT SOLVED THIS PROBLEM. THEY RESULTED TO SAYING THAT THE NOISE IS FROM A TRANSAXLE SPLASH GUARD, BUT THEY TRIED TO RECREATE THE NOISE BY PUSHING THE SPLASH GUARD AGAINST THE TRANSAXLE, BUT THE NOISE DID NOT DISAPPEAR. *NM

PROBLEM WITH THE SPEEDOMETER, CAR IS IN DRIVEWAY IN PARK,THE IDLE WILL GO UP A LITTLE , BUT THE SPEEDOMETER WILL GO UP TO 80-100 KM WILL SITTING STILL. IF YOU GIVE THE VEHICLE GAS IN PARK THE SPEEDOMETER WILL GO TO 240 KM AGAIN WHILE IN PARK AND NOT MOVING. I HAVE HAD IT THE VEHICLE RESCANNED,BUT THE ISSUE DID NOT GO AWAY..I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE WE PURCHASED THE CAR, AND THE PUT ALMOST 200 KM ON THE CAR AND THE PROBLEM NEVER HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED MORE THAT ENOUGH TIMES, BUT WHEN IT WENT INTO SERVICE TO GET CHECKED OUT THEY COULD NOT SOLVE OR GET THE CAR TO DO THE SAME PROBLEM. IT WAS VERY FRUSTRATING ,AND OUR CONCERN WAS THAT WHEN THE WARRANTY RAN OUT AND THERE WAS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THERE WILL BE A COSTLY BILL. I AM ALSO CONCERNED FOR MY FAMILY'S SAFETY WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE CAR. *AK

2002 CHRYSLER SEBRING CONV. EXPERIENCED COMPLETE LOSS OF ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND ENGINE SHUT-OFF. TOWED TO DEALERSHIP, TESTED, BUT NO REPEAT OF SYMPTOMS. OWNER REQUESTED CHRYSLER REPAIR PERSONNEL ACTUALLY DRIVE CAR. UPON DOING SO, ALL SYMPTOMS APPEARED WITH TOTAL LOSS OF ALL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS AND NON-STARTING ENGINE. EVEN THOUGH THE PROBLEM PRESENTED ITSELF TO THE DEALER, THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE OR REPAIR THE PROBLEM. DEALER (HARBOR CHRYSLER, VENTURA, CA) HAD CAR FOR 18 DAYS. CAR RELEASED IN NON-REPAIRED CONDITION. UPON PICKING-UP THE CAR, THE OWNER ATTACHED WRITTEN STATEMENT OF CONCERN TO THE DEALER REGARDING THE SAFETY OF OPERATING A VEHICLE THAT CAN SUDDENLY STOP OPERATING WITH COMPLETE LOSS OF ALL ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED SYSTEMS INCLUDING BRAKE LIGHTS, SIGNALS, FLASHERS, WIPERS, AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT SENSORS, HEAD AND TAIL LIGHTS, ETC., AS WELL AS A NON-RUNNING/NON STARTABLE ENGINE. CHRYSLER DEALER ADVISED OWNER TO DRIVE VEHICLE UNTIL THE FAILING COMPONENT(S) EXPERIENCED COMPLETE FAILURE, AT WHICH TIME THE PROBLEM COULD BE ACCURATELY DIAGNOSED. THIS TRANSLATES INTO AN OBLIGATION ON THE PART OF THE OWNER TO OPERATE AN UNSAFE VEHICLE IN ORDER TO HELP THE DEALER DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE IS EFFECTIVELY UNUSABLE, AS STRONG SAFETY AND LIABILITY ISSUES CONTINUE TO CONCERN DR. ROLFF, THE OWNER/DRIVER. *JB

I WAS DRIVING ON A SURFACE STREET AT APPROXIMATELY 35MPH AND SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A STOP AT AN APPROACHING RED LIGHT WHEN THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT BACK COLLAPSED THROWING ME BACKWARDS WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION. AT THAT POINT MY LEG WAS STRETCHED STRAIGHT AND I HAD DIFFICULTY REACHING THE BRAKE PEDAL. I WAS ABLE TO PULL MYSELF BACK UP BY PULLING ON THE STEERING WHEEL WITH BOTH HANDS ONLY TO SEE THAT I WAS QUICKLY APPROACHING A CAR THAT HAD STOPPED FOR THE LIGHT IN FRONT OF ME. ONCE SITTING BACK UP IN MY SEAT I WAS ABLE TO APPLY THE BRAKES IN TIME TO AVOID REAR-ENDING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME WITH ONLY INCHES TO SPARE. THE CAR AT THAT POINT WAS BARELY DRIVABLE BUT I DID MANAGE TO DRIVE TO MY MECHANIC WITHOUT A SEAT BACK. THIS IS A POWER SEAT ABLE TO ADJUST FORWARD/BACKWARD, UP/DOWN, AND TILT BACK/FORWARD THE MECHANIC HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE MOTOR ASSEMBLY AS THERE WAS NO WAY TO PURCHASE ONLY THE DEFECTIVE REPLACEMENT PART. *TR

I AM EXTREMELY DISSATISFIED WITH A PARTICULAR QUALITY OF MY 2002 SEBRING. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I AM BRINGING THIS TO THE ATTENTION OF CHRYSLER AND I AM DEMANDING FURTHER INQUIRY AND RESOLUTION BE OFFERED ON MY REQUEST. I AM VERY ADAMANT ABOUT THIS REQUEST AS IT HAS PUT MY CHILDREN IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND COULD CAUSE HARM OR EVEN DEATH TO OTHERS. THE PROBLEM ITSELF IS RATHER SIMPLY TO UNDERSTAND BUT CAN HAVE VERY DANGEROUS RAMIFICATIONS. THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR LOCK DOES NOT HAVE A SAFETY FEATURE PREVENTING THE DRIVER DOOR TO BE LOCKED WHILE THE KEYS ARE IN THE IGNITION OR IN THE VEHICLE. ON EVERY OTHER MANUFACTURER VEHICLE I'VE OWNED THERE WAS A FEATURE THAT PREVENTED THIS FROM HAPPENING - WHETHER THE CAR WAS RUNNING OR NOT. IN THIS PARTICULAR SITUATION, MY 1 1/2 SON WAS IN HIS CAR SEAT AS MY WIFE PARKED OUR SEBRING IN FRIENDS DRIVE WAY. SHE ACCIDENTALLY DEPRESSED THE CAR LOCK WHILE CLOSING THE DOOR. THE CAR WAS LOCKED, WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING AND MY CHILD INSIDE THE CAR. IT TOOK OVER A 1/2 HOUR FOR ME TO DRIVE TO THE LOCATION WITH THE SPARE KEYS TO UNLOCK THE CAR. THIS WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND NERVE RACKING AND COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE IN EXTREME HEAT OR WINTER CONDITIONS WITHOUT PROPER VENTILATION. I WOULD VERY SURPRISED IF CHRYSLER HAS NOT BE NOTIFIED OF THIS COMPLAINT AND WILL BE EXTREMELY DISSATISFIED IF I DON'T RECEIVE RESOLUTION TO FIX THE PROBLEM OR AT THE VERY LEAST A COMPENSATION FOR THE SITUATION, FRUSTRATION, TIME AND MONEY SPENT. UNFORTUNATELY TO DATE, CHRYSLER HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING OTHER THAN TO GUIDE ME TO THIS SITE. THIS SERIES OF EVENTS (IF UNRESOLVED) WILL SERIOUSLY SWAY MY DECISION OF CHRYSLER PRODUCTS IN THE FUTURE. *JB

IN 12/2001 I PURCHASED A 2002 CHRYSLER SEBRING LXI AND DISCOVERED THE INTERIOR LIGHTS BLINKED. I REPORTED TO THE DEALER, WHO NEGLECTED TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. ON APRIL 26, 2007 THE RADIO INTERMITTENTLY STOPPED OPERATING AND BEGAN TO BLINK EVEN WHILE TURNING OFF AND/OR NOT OPERATING THE VEHICLE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER ON 05/18/07 FOR DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR, AND AS IT TURNED OUT THE RADIO WAS CAUSING THE INTERIOR LIGHT TO BLINK. ONCE THE RADIO WAS REPLACED THE INTERIOR LIGHTS NO LONGER BLINKED. THE PROBLEM WITH THE RADIO WAS ELECTRONICALLY BACK FEEDING INTO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS , CAUSING THE RADIO AND EVERYTHING IT BACK FEED INTO TO BECOME CHARGED BY THE BATTERY AND ON CONSTANTLY. THIS WAS A SERIOUS FIRE HAZARD WHILE THE CAR WAS PARKED IN MY GARAGE. THIS WAS A PROBLEM CHRYSLER WAS AWARE OF BY ISSUANCE OF THEIR TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN #08-026-01 DATED 12/14/01 FOR 2001-2002 SEBRING/SEBRING CONVERTIBLE/STRATUS AND 2002 LIBERTY. CHRYSLER REFUSED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH THEY KNEW THE PROBLEM EXISTED. OTHER THAN THE INTERIOR LIGHTS BLINKING, THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM DID NOT BECOME EVIDENT UNTIL APRIL 26, 2007. I WAS LEFT TO PAY FOR FACTORY DEFECTIVE EQUIPMENT. IT TOOK THIS PROBLEM 5 YEARS TO SURFACE, BUT IT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE A GREAT DEAL OF DAMAGES TO THE VEHICLES AND PERSONAL PROPERTY AS WELL AS CAUSE SERIOUS INJURIES OR DEATH BY FIRE.

PROBLEM # 1 - STARTED AS INTERMITTENT / NOW CONSTANT. SPEEDOMETER INTERMITTENTLY "WACKY". EARLIER IN NOV. 2008, EXHIBITED A PROBLEM THAT I FIRST SAW TWO WINTERS AGO. IN DEC 2006, HAD THE SAME SYMPTOM - SPEEDOMETER GOING WILD. IN THE REPAIR SHOP, THE REP REPLACED INNER & OUTER SPEED SENSORS BASED ON CODES HE SAW FROM COMPUTER. PROBLEM NOT SEEN SINCE 12/06 UNTIL RECENTLY. IN EARLY OCT 2008, ONLY ABOUT THREE BRIEF INSTANCES. NOW THE WACKY SPEEDOMETER IS FREQUENT / CONSTANT. GOING ALONG AT 55 MPH, SUDDENLY SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE FLIPS TO 10 MPH (PRESUMABLY THE CAR IS STILL REALLY TRAVELING ALONG AT 55 MPH). IN FRACTION OF A SECOND THE NEEDLE SWINGS BACK UP TO 60 MPH, THEN DOWN TO 20 MPH, THEN UP TO 70 MPH, THEN DOWN AGAIN TO 5 MPH... I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE AT A LOCAL GARAGE. GARAGE TECH REPLACED BOTH INNER & OUTER TRANSMISSION SENSORS ON 12/5/2008 -BASED ON COMPUTER CODES, AND RESET ?CHECK ENGINE? LIGHT. SINCE REPLACING BOTH SPEED SENSORS THE ?WILD SPEEDOMETER? PROBLEM STILL HAPPENS; SWING OF THE NEEDLE IS JUST A LITTLE LESS, ENGINE LIGHT COMES BACK ON (CONSTANTLY) AFTER HAVING SPEEDOMETER SWING WILDLY FOR A FEW MINUTES. PROBLEM # 2 - POSSIBLY RELATED (OR NOT) - AT LOWER SPEEDS (5-30 MPH), THE CAR TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO RESPOND FINE (OTHER THAN THE WILD SPEEDOMETER ISSUE). I MEAN THAT IS THE CAR REGISTERS 1000-2000 RPM, SOUNDS LIKE ENGINE IS RUNNING WELL. CAR SEEMS TO DRIVE FINE AT HIGHER SPEEDS AFTER DRIVING FOR SOME TIME AT 50-60 MPH, THEN SLOWING TO EXIT (DOWN OR UP A RAMP) WHEN SPEED IS SLOWED TO AROUND 20 MPH, TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO ABRUPTLY DOWNSHIFT TO LOWER GEAR (SMALL BUCK CAN BE FELT); THEN CAR SEEMS TO STAY IN LOW-GEAR. I CAN STILL DRIVE THE CAR BUT WHEN THE SPEED IS AROUND 30 MPH, THE RPM IS OVER 3000, CAN HEAR THE ENGINE STRAINING. I PULL OVER, TURN-OFF ENGINE, SIT A MINUTE, RESTART CAR, IT IS OK ONCE AGAIN TO DRIVE. IT CAN GO OVER 30 MPH OR HIGHER AND MAINTAIN AROUND 2000 RPM (UNTIL SPEED IS REDUCED TO 20 MPH (CYCLE CONTINUES). *TR

Rear Disc Brakes.I had a repair shop and a dealership assess what they both found to be what's called a Backplate.It mounts onto both Left and Right Spindles.The Backplate on Left and Right hold or guide the Pads in place on both sides of the caliper.The pins show to be almost rusted out.The dealership told me the Left and Right Backplate is unavailable and obsolete.So my options are to find a shop that can fabricate the parts or modify the rear brake system.Truly a poor design.A prototype that slipped through the cracks.I have invested thousands over the years into the vehicle so I would have a problem free efficient ride when I retire.I now had to finance another vehicle because the Chrysler Sebring is no longer driveable.The dealership told me 100.00 to scrap it.Unacceptable! I will continue to pursue my options. I invested alot of blood money into the vehicle and the help I received to date is Park it or Junk it.That is not even a remote consideration.

SO MY DAD PAYS CASH FOR THE CONVERTIBLE SEBRING LXI. ON 05/03/2014, I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE ATTEMPTING TO ATTEND A BARBECUE. IT WAS A VERY NICE DAY OUT. THE CAR STARTS TO OVERHEAT AND THE CAR STALLS AND SLOWS DOWN. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VERY NEXT DAY, SUN MAY 4,2014. I HAD THE CAR TAKEN TO A MECHANIC AND THE ENGINE HAD JUMP TIME AND THE ENGINE HAD SLUDGE BUILD UP. I WAS ADVISED THAT IT WOULD COST ME $3000-5000 FOR A NEW ENGINE. I HAVE LOST MY JOB IN HR DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO GO WORK. I NOW OWN TO VEHICLES THAT I CAN NOT DRIVE AND CANT EVEN AFFORD TO FIX THE CAR SINCE I HAVE LOST MY JOB. IT REALLY UPSETS ME ABOUT THE CONDITION OF THE VEHICLE. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THESE ENGINES. WE THE CONSUMERS SHOULD RECEIVE SOME TYPE OF RELIEF. WE THE CONSUMERS RELY ON THE INTELLIGENCE AND INTEGRITY OF THOSE THAT MANUFACTURE AND MAKE THE ENGINES. I'M ASKING THAT CHRYSLER PAY FOR ME A NEW ENGINE. THAT IS A SMALL AMOUNT COMPARED TO THE FACT I COULD HAVE LOST MY LIFE BEHIND THE WHEEL OF THIS CAR. HAD THIS TURNED OUT ANY OTHER WAY SUCH AS A FATALITY.

SINCE APPROXIMATELY 2004, THE PAINT BEGAN WEARING OFF (NOT PEELING) THE ROOF OF MY 2002 CHRYSLER SEBRING. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED IT. THEY SAID CHRYSLER HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE CLEAR COAT THAT YEAR, AND AT THIS POINT NOTHING COULD BE DONE ABOUT IT. THE SPOT REMAINED THE SAME IN SIZE, BUT CONTINUED TO WEAR DOWN TO THE METAL. I ASSUMED I WOULD HAVE TO HAVE THE SPOT REPAINTED. THIS WINTER, APPROXIMATELY 3/4 OF THE ROOF DOWN TO AND INCLUDING PART OF THE TRUNK AND REAR FENDERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME WEARING AWAY OF PAINT THAT THE ROOF HAS. AT THIS POINT, ABOUT 2/3 OF MY CAR NEEDS TO BE REPAINTED. I NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THIS PROBLEM.

THAT WAS A COUPLE HUNDRED BUCKS INCLUDING CHECKING THE CONSTANT FLICKERING OIL LIGHT WHICH NOW JUST FLICKERS AND I PAY IT NO ATTENTION. THE SECOND ISSUE WAS A COMPUTER CHIP OR SOMETHING, THE CAR WOULD JUST NOT START SO I TOOK IT IN THAT WAS 800 SOMETHING BY THE TIME THE CAR WAS GOING AGAIN. THE THIRD ISSUE WAS THE CONNECTER THAT HAS THREE HOSES TO IT WENT BAD AND SMOKE CAME FROM UNDER HOOD AND WHEN I OPENED IT THE WATER WAS SPRAYING LEAKING AND OF COURSE EMPTY WHICH WAS ANOTHER 300 BUCKS AFTER TOWING PARTS LABOR ETC... THE CURRENT PROBLEM IS THE STEERING WHICH I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG WITH I JUST DO MY BEST TO STAY IN THE LANE. ALSO I HAVE FOUND OUT THE WHEEL ARE REALLY REALLY CHEAP AND FLAKING SO MY BRAND NEW TIRES WERE IMMEDIATELY PUNCTURED WHICH I'VE PAID A BUNCH TO KEEP THEM SEALED AND BALANCED AND NOT TO MENTION THE WEAR FROM THE STEERING AND FLATS HAS PRETTY MUCH RUINED THE NEW TIRES. *TR

I OWN A 2002 CHRYSLER SEBRING WITH APPROX. 35K MILEAGE. THE TRANSMISSION STARTED ACTING FUNNY ABOUT THREE WEEKS AGO. IT WOULD NOT BUDGE WHEN IN DRIVE GEAR OR WOULD STALL AT RED LIGHT. IT WAS WORSE WHEN COLD. I TOOK IT TO CHRYSLER DEALER IN GREENVALE, NEW YORK. THEY INDICATED A TRANSMISSION LEAK REQUIRING CHANGE OF TRANSMISSION OIL AND CLEANING, EVEN THOUGH CHRYSLER MANUAL ITSELF DOES NOT INDICATE TRANSMISSION SERVICE BEFORE 45K MILEAGE. THEY CHANGED THE TRANSMISSION LINES AND HOSES AND CHARGED ME OVER $400 FOR THE SERVICE. CHRYSLER FAILS TO ACKNOWLEDGE A DESIGN DEFECT REQUIRING THIS SERVICE. ULTIMATELY, I DISCOVERED THAT YOU HAVE RECEIVED MANY COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE SAME ISSUE AND ALSO OUTRIGHT TRANSMISSION FAILURE WHICH CHRYSLER FAILS TO ADDRESS. I KNOW THAT A RECALL WAS ISSUED BY NHSTA FOR 2001 CHRYSLER SEBRING REGARDING SIMILAR ISSUES. PERHAPS IT IS TIME YOU ISSUE THE SAME RECALL FOR 2002 CHRYSLER SEBRING. EVEN BETTER, PLEASE ISSUE A CEASE AND DESIST ORDER AGAINST ALL AMERICAN MANUFACTURERS OF CRAP THEY CALL MOTOR VEHICLES, SO WE NEED NOT MAKE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS IN THE FUTURE. *JB

THESE ARE SAFETY/DEFECT ISSUES REGARDING MY 2002 CHRYSLER SEBRING ENGINE: I HAVE A 2.7 LITER V6 ENGINE AND I HAVE RECENTLY READ ABOUT COMMON PROBLEMS AFTER EXPERIENCING A KNOCK IN THE ENGINE. JUST TODAY, I HAD A MECHANIC LISTEN TO THE ENGINE NOISE AND HE SPECULATES THAT IT IS A ROD OR ROD BEARING. THIS APPEARS TO BE A SYMPTOM OF THE SLUDGE PROBLEM THAT YOUR WEB SITE HAS DOCUMENTED. I HAVE NOT YET CONFRONTED A CHRYSLER MAINTENANCE REP AND WOULD BE INTERESTED IN TACTICS THAT HAVE BEEN DOCUMENTED AS SUCCESSFUL. I HAVE BEEN SOMEWHAT REGULAR ABOUT OIL CHANGES, BUT I AM NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER, SO WOULD HAVE A PROBLEM PROVING THE MAINTENANCE INTERVALS. STEERING: LAST SUMMER I FIRST EXPERIENCED A PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING TIGHTENING. BASICALLY THE GENERAL FEEL OF THE STEERING WAS TIGHT AND IT WOULD NOT RETURN TO A 'HOME' POSITION AFTER TURNING. A MECHANIC ESTIMATED THAT IT WOULD TAKE $1500 TO REPLACE THE RACK ASSEMBLY AND THE POWER STEERING PUMP. ON A HUNCH, I HAD THE POWER STEERING FLUID REPLACED AND WITHIN A WEEK THE STEERING RETURNED TO NORMAL. AROUND OCT/NOV, THE SYMPTOMS RETURNED AND I HAD ANOTHER POWER STEERING FLUID REPLACEMENT. THIS TIME THE SYMPTOMS HAVE BEEN INTERMITTENT AND HAVE NOT COMPLETELY DISAPPEARED. I HAVE READ A FEW COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET OF OTHER SEBRING OWNERS HAVING SIMILAR PROBLEMS. *JB

DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *AK A RATTLING NOISE COULD BE HEARD IN THE DASH AREA. THE CONSUMER FOUND A NUT AND NOTIFIED THE DEALER. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER THAT THE NUT DID NOT BELONG IN THE DASH AND THEY INSULATED THE DASH SO NO MORE NOISE COULD BE HEARD. THE CONSUMER FEELS THE NUT CAME FROM SOMETHING IN THE DASH. THE SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER WAS REPLACED THREE TIMES. THE TRANSMISSION FLUID BEGAN TO LEAK. THE DEALER DETERMINED THAT THE COOLER LINE CLAMPS BECAME LOOSE AND CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID TO LEAK. *NM
