WELL I HAVE BEEN AT CHYSLER CONCERNING MY BRAKES, SMELL OF SMOKE AND MY ENGINE KEEP COMING ON AND EACH TIME POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE. THEY WILL NOT TELL ME WHAT EXACTLY IS GOING ON AND I AM VERY UPSET WITH THE POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE. THIS IS TAKING TIME FROM MY WORK AND COST CONSUMING. MY CAR HAS 11,051 MILES AND THAT IS RIDICULOUS THAT I GO BACK AND FORTH. I AM VERY UPSET OF THE POOR SERVICE AND FEEL THEY ARE NOT PUTTING THE PROPER PARTS IN MY CAR. MY BREAK STILL SQUEAK AND I BROUGHT EXTRA WARRANTY FOR THIS CAR. THE POOR SERVICE AND DECIET IS TERRIBLE. I AM GOING TO THE MEDIA WITH THIS ISSUE. NOTHING HAS NOT CHANGE AND I CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE AT THE CHYSLER CORPORATE OFFICE AND THEY TREATED ME WITH TOTAL DISRESPECT. *TR

ON 16JUL2011 I TRIED TO TURN ON MY AIR CONDITION IN MY VEHICLE BUT ALL IT DID WAS BLOW HOT AIR. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO CHRYSLER GREENBRIER IN CHESAPEAKE VA WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. BEFORE THEY INSPECTED THE VEHICLE ONE OF THE SALES PERSON TOLD "WE'LL IM GOING TO TELL YOU NOW I WE FIND THAT YOUR AIR COMPRESSOR WAS DAMAGED WE CAN FIX IT BUT IT WILL NOT BE COVERED ON YOUR WARRANTY BECAUSE WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR NATURAL DAMAGE". AFTER THEY INSPECTED MY VEHICLE HE RESPONDED "I HAVE BAD NEWS YOUR COMPRESSOR HAS A HOLE, MAYBE A ROCK HIT IT" AND THE PRICE TO FIX IT WOULD BE 1,500. I EXPLAINED TO HIM I DID NOT HAVE ANY ACCIDENTS, DID NOT HIT ANYTHING AT ALL. I HAVE CONTACTED THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU. THEY STATED CHRYSLER RESPONDED THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE. I AM SO UPSET I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE LAST YEAR SEPTEMBER AND HAVE BEEN WITHOUT AIR CONDITION SINCE JULY OF THIS YEAR. *TR

PURCHASED BRAND NEW 2010 CHRYSLER SEBRING ON JANUARY 24, 2011 FROM STERLING HGTS DODGE IN STERLING HGTS, MI. EVER SINCE I GOT THE CAR, THE IDIOT TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AFTER DRIVING ON THE XWAY ABOUT 10 MILES AND STAYS ON FOR A FEW DAYS, THEN GOES OFF. IT COMES ON WHEN IT RAINS OR IS REAL COLD OUTSIDE UNDER 20 DEGREES AND STAYS ON. I CHECK THE TIRE PRESSURES ON ALL 4 TIRES AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. I DROVE IT TO THE DEALER, AND THEY SAID THAT THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH THESE SENSORS. THEY CHECKED MY TIRE PRESSURES AND ALL WERE CORRECT. JUST DRIVE IT SOME MORE MILES AND THE LIGHT WILL GO OFF WAS WHAT WAS SAID TO ME. THIS PROBLEM IS CONSISTENTLY GOING ON AND OFF EVERY WEEK! SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BY SOME OUTSIDE AGENCY TO FORCE CHRYSLER TO REPLACE ALL THESE TIRE SENSORS. EVERY WEEK LIKE CLOCKWORK, THE SAME THING HAPPENS. I AM TIRED OF IT. I AM TIRED OF NOT GETTING HELP FROM CHRYSLER. *TR

I CHECKED THE BOX FOR SEBRING, BUTI HAVE A 2010 PT CRUISER. THEIR WAS NO OPTION FOR PT CRUISER. I PURCHASED THE CAR 2/25/2010. IT HAS A DEFECTIVE DRIVER SEAT. SIDE OF SEAT KEEPS BREAKING. NUMEROUS PATCH REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE BY THE DEALERSHIP FROM MAY TO TODAY--9/17/2010. AT ONE TIME THE SEAT MOVED FORWARD AND MY KNEES WERE LOCKED AGAINST THE STEERING COLUMN AND THE SEAT WOULD NOT MOVE BACK. CAR HAS A POWER SEAT. MOST OF THE PATCH REPAIRS ONLY LASTED FOR 2- 3 WEEKS. SEAT CLIPS, SIDE MOUNTING STAND, SEAT CUSHION, COVER HAVE ALL BEEN REPLACED AT LEAST TWICE. CLIPS HAVE BEEN REPLACED NUMEROUS TIMES. DEALERSHIP SAYS PROBLEM IS A DESIGN FLAW, AND THAT THEY HAVE SEEN SEVERAL PT CRUISERS WITH THE PROBLEM. I ASKED REPEATEDLY FOR A NEW DRIVER SEAT. TWO WEEKS AGO, I TOOK MY COMPLAINT TO CHRYSLER SERVICE AND THEY REFUSED TO AUTHORIZE A NEW SEAT. DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THE SEAT DOES NOT COME AS A SINGLE REPLACEMENT UNIT, AND THAT ALL PARTS WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED TO BUILD ME A NEW SEAT BOTTOM. THE DEALERSHIP FINALLY AGREED TODAY TO DO THIS. IN CALLING CHRYSLER ON A FOLLOW UP TODAY, CHYRSLER INFORMED ME THAT REPAIRS WOULD NOT BE REIMBURSED TO THE DEALERSHIP UNLESS THE DEALERSHIP COULD JUSTIFY ALL THE PARTS WERE BROKEN. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY UNDER WARRANTY...ABOUT 10,500 MILES. I HAVE NOT PAID FOR ANY REPAIRS, BUT IT IS A BIG INCONVENIENCE (AND I THINK A SAFETY HAZARD). DEALERSHIP SAYS CHRYSLER NEEDS TO MAKE A DESIGN MODIFICATION. I HAVE OWNED 5 PT CRUISERS. THIS IS THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS BEEN TROUBLESOME. I HAVE PHOTOS OF THE BREAKDOWN. I AM LOSING PATIENCE AND TRUST IN THE COMPANY. I AM CONSIDERING PURSUING LEMON LAW RIGHTS. *TR
