WHEN WE ACQUIRED OUR 1998 CHRYSLER SEBRING JUNE 2010, BOTH OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLES WERE BROKEN. WE COULD ONLY OPEN THE DOOR THROUGH AN OPEN WINDOW. THE DEALER WANTED $500 TO INSTALL THEM. IN APRIL 2012, THE PASSENGER HANDLE BROKE AGAIN. NOW, JUNE 2012, THE DRIVER HANDLE BROKE AGAIN. THE PARTS INSTALLED TWO YEARS AGO HAVE BOTH BROKEN AGAIN. THESE PARTS ARE PLASTIC AND APPARENTLY DO NOT LAST VERY LONG. IS THERE A RECALL? WHAT DO WE DO? *TR

I MADE A COMPLETE STOP AND TURNED ONTO ANOTHER ROAD AND HEARD A LOUD METAL ON CEMENT NOISE PULLED OVER TO SIDE OF ROAD AS GOOD AS POSSIBLE AND GOT OUT OF CAR AND SEEN BALL JOINT CRACKED AND TIRE OFF CAR. MY CAR WAS COMPLETELY ON GROUND IN FRONT RIGHT OF VEHICLE. HAD NO REASON TO BELIEVE THE BALL JOINTS NEEDED TO BE FIXED. CAR DROVE SMOOTH OTHERWISE. IF I WOULD HAVE KNOWN IT WOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED BUT TO JUST SNAP. THANK GOODNESS I WASN'T GOING FASTER OR NOTHING WAS IN MY WAY AND DIDN'T CRASH! IT WAS THE SCARIEST CAR "ACCIDENT" I EVER HAD.

MY ALARM KEEPS GOING OFF!!! A FEW MONTHS AGO, MY CAR ALARM STARTED GOING OFF RANDOMLY AND WILL NOT STOP. IT STARTED BY HONKING REPEATEDLY THEN A VERY LONG ANNOYING HONK. IN ORDER TO MAKE IT STOP, THE ONLY THING THAT I COULD DO WAS DISCONNECT THE BATTERY. I AM NOW DESPERATE TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED; I WAS AT A GAS STATION THE OTHER DAY, AND IT DID IT AGAIN. I ENDED UP HAVING TO DRIVE AWAY WITH THE ALARM STILL SOUNDING BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE A WAY OF DISCONNECTING MY BATTERY TO MAKE IT STOP. THIS SHOULD REALLY BE A RECALL! I RECENTLY BEGAN RESEARCHING ON THE INTERNET AND REALIZED THAT HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT YOU CAN DO FOR ME REGARDING THIS ISSUE?
