1997 CHRYSLER SEBRING Complaints

FRONT ROTORS AND BRAKES PADS WERE REPORTED PITTED AND EXCESSIVELY WOREN OUT. DEALER/MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED AT THIS TIME. *AK

RATCHET MECHANISM WITHIN THE PASSENGER SIDE NEW DESIGNED SEATBELT HAS FAILED, CAUSING SEATBELT TO BE INOPERATIVE. SEATBELT COMES FROM THE ACTUAL SEAT.*AK

CHRYSLER CORPORATION FAILED TO CONTACT ME ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR EQUIPMENT. I PAID FOR THE NEW PARTS AND LABOR TO INSTALL THE PARTS. WHEN I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE RECALL(NHTSA CAMPAIGN #97V081002 VIA INTERNET), I CONTACTED THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON MY VEHICLE AND THAT THERE WAS ONLY RECALLS ON THE CONVERTIBLE SEBRINGS. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY ASSISTANCE ON GETTING REFUNDED MY MONEY ON PARTS AND LABOR THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN OF NO CHARGE. I STILL HAVE THE DEALER'S INVOICE/RECEIPT OF THE PARTS AND LABOR.*AK

BACK LATERAL WENT OUT, IT SNAPPED IN HALF. THE DEFECT MADE CONSUMER LOSE CONTROL OF STEERING WHEEL AND RUN INTO A DITCH. DEALER REFERRED CONSUMER TO CALL HOTLINE. *AK

WHILE DRIVING AT 35- 40 MPH CONSUMER APPLIED BRAKES TO SLOWDOWN AND MAKE A TURN, AND ONE OF WHEELS LOCKED UP, CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION. *AK

WIRING BEHIND LEFT SIDE OF ENGINE RUBBED AGAINST MANIFOLD AND CAUGHT ON FIRE. FUEL LINE NEAR BY WAS ALSO WEAKENED.*AK

THE RIGHT FRONT AND LEFT FRONT TIRES WENT FLAT WHILE DRIVING DAMAGING THE ALLOY WHEEL, A GOODYEAR MANAGER STATED THAT THE WHEEL DESIGN ON THE VEHICLE IS FAULTY AND IS TOO LARGE FOR THE CAR. NLM

AT ANY TIME, EITHER WHEN I FIRST STARTED THE CAR OR WHILE DRIVING DIGITAL ODOMETER GOES BLANK AND THE TACHOMETER FALLS TO 0 RPM. THIS OCCURS EVERYTIME I DRIVE THE CAR. SOMETIMES THEY WILL COME BACK ON AND SOMETIMES THEY WON'T. ALSO, EVEN THOUGH THE ODOMETER HAS WENT BLANK, IT CONTINUES TO COUNT THE MILAGE OF THE CAR.

THE VEHICLE HAS HAD CONTINUED PROBLEMS WITH THE WINDOWS LEAKING AND NOT CLOSING PROPERLY, PASSENGER SIDE SPEAKER NOISE AND BRAKES SQUEAL, THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO RECTIFY DURING NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO REPAIR ALL ITEMS. *MJS

REPORTED NOISES TO DEALERSHIP IN RIGHT TIRE AND STEERING WHEEL. THEY FIRST TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS. TOOK IT BACK BECAUSE NOISE GOT WORSE. THEY FINALLY FOUND THAT THE STEERING RACK WAS BROKEN. THEY CLAIMED TO HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM. ABOUT 1 1/2 WEEKS LATER WAS TURNING CORNER AT BUSY INTERSECTION. RIGHT WHEEL TURNED INWARD AND LOCKED. SPUN AROUND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. LUCKLY NO ONE WAS HURT. ALTHOUGH THEY SAY THAT THIS TIME IT WAS THE STEERING COLUMN. WE INVESTIGATED THE PART THAT WAS REPLACED AND FOUND THAT IT WAS STEERING RACK AGAIN. DEALER ADMITTED THAT THE PART INSTALLED WAS DEFECTIVE. *AK
