1998 CHRYSLER SEBRING Complaints

ON JAN 1999 I WAS GOING TO WORK AN MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND I COULD NOT STEER THE CAR SO I LOST CONTROL AND HIT AN ENBANKMENT. I TOOK THE CAR IN TO BE SERVICED AND THE SAID IT WAS MY FAULT BECAUSE THERE WAS A WIRE UNDERNEITH THE CAR THAT CAUSED THE BELT TO COME OFF BUT THE WIRE WAS THERE DUE TO ME HITTING THE ENBANKMENT.ALSO INSIDE THE CAR UNDER THE STEERING THE CARPET IS BURNED,AND THE CAR 'S STEERING IS NOT RIGHT IV'E TAKEN IT TO BE BALANCED AND ALIGNED AND NOTHING SEEMS TO HELP.ALSO THERE IS A RECENT RECALL. I WOULD LIKE PREVIOUS DAMAGE TO VEHICLE FIXED.DUE TO THE STEERING. I ALSO DON'T KNOW IF IT IS SAFE TOBE TRAVELING IN THE VEHICLE.*AK

ENGINE-WELL MAINTAINED FAILED AT 60K MILES. OIL PUMP AND BEARINGS. DOOR ASSEMBLY KEEPS COMING LOOSE, HANDLE FELL OFF. WHEELS TOO SOFT, BENT ALL OF THE TIME. FUEL PUMP FAILED AT 17K MILES. THIS CAR IS A LEMON.

I HAVE HAD 4 FLAT TIRES SINCE I PURCHASE THE VEHICLE LESS THAN A YEAR AGO. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS THE TIRES, BUT AFTER THE FOURTH FLAT, AND SEEING OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THIS WEBSITE, I REALIZED IT WAS THE CAR. THE RIMS BEND, RELEASING AIR AND THE TIRES GO FLAT. THEN THE RIM WRECKS THE TIRE, AND BENDS FURTHER. ESSENTIALLY, IT IS A CAR THAT CAN'T EVEN BE DRIVEN. THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD TO ALSO REPLACE ALL 4 TIRES BUT DIDN'T TELL ME UNTIL LATER, AND SOLD THE CAR TO ME WITH ONLY 10,000 MILES ON IT. AT $200 A PEICE, IT REALLY ADDS UP. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY CONTINUE TO DRAG THEIR FEET. I FEEL THESE CARS SHOULD BE RE-CALLED, ESPECIALLY AFTER HEARING THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER SEBRING OWNERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. (TIRESIZE: 2155017)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 2155017 )
