2002 CHRYSLER SEBRING Complaints

WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE PARK POSITION ON A SLIGHT GRADE , THE VEHICLE ROLLED BACKWARDS, RESULTING IN A COLLISION. THERE WERE NO FATALITIES, BUT THERE WAS EXTENSIVE DAMAGE IN THE AMOUNT OF $3,000. *AK *JB

MY FRONT BRAKES FAILURE, WITHOUT ANY WARNING THE FRON BRAKES ON MY 2002 SEBRING.*AK

THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT HEATER CAUGHT ON FIRE AND BRUNT A HOLE THROUGH THE SEAT AND THROUGH A PILLOW THAT WAS LAYING ON THE SEAT. THE SEAT HEATER WAS ACCIDENTALLY ENGAGED BECAUSE OF THE LOCATION OF ENGAGE BUTTON. THE FIRE OCCURRED DUE TO AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE IN THE SEAT HEATER SYSTEM. DEALERSHIP IS ONLY RECOVERING THE SEAT.*AK

ENGINE LIGHT SENSOR, AIR BAG SENSOR KEEPS COMING ON. TOOK IN TO DEALER FOR ENGINE LIGHT SENSOR 3 MONTHS AGO TO CORRECT THAT. TODAY, TOOK IN TO DEALER FOR AIR BAG SENSOR LIGHT WHICH KEPT COMING ON EVERY 10 SECONDS. DEALER STATED BECAUSE OF A BAD SENSOR IN THE SEATBELT CONTRAPTION AIR BAG LIGHT WAS COMING ON--DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO ME. SO, OF COURSE THEY HAD TO ORDER SOME KIND OF PART TO THE TUNE OF 118 DOLLARS PLUS LABOR SO BILL WAS 330 DOLLARS TO FIX SOMETHING WHICH I BELIEVE IS DEFECTIVE AND THEIR FAULT. WHAT THE AIR BAG LIGHT HAS TO DO WITH THE SEAT BELT IS BEYOND ME. NOTICED A SIMILIAR COMPLAINT ON YOUR SITE DATED SEPTEMBER 30, 2004 AT 03:21 PM FOR SAME MODEL CAR. I THINK THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. AS THE PERSON STATED IN THEIR COMPLAINT, AIR BAG CAN DEPLOY FOR NO REASON, OR AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF ACCIDENT. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE HERE.*AK

THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE SEIZED WHILE DRIVING. *NM THE VEHICLE HAD A CONTINUING BRAKE PROBLEMS AND WOULD DIE WHILE IN MOTION. THE CONSUMER REQUESTED REIMBURSEMENT.

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
