CAR NOT UNDER WARRANTY (3 YRS 30,000 MILE WARRANTY)DEALER WANTS ME TO PAY FOR IT. HAVE BEEN BUYING NEW CARS FOR OVER 30 YEARS, NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH A SEATBELT BEFORE. HAVE BEEN BUYING NEW CHRYSLER VEHICLES, EVERY 3-4 YEARS FROM SAME DEALER, NEVER HAD SEAT BELT PROBLEM. I FEEL THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT. MY HUSBAND AND I ARE THE ONLY 2 TO DRIVE THIS CAR. *LA

WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH BRAKE PEDAL FELL APART, CAUSING VEHICLE TO HIT A TEMPORARY CONCRETE WALL IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE. UPON IMPACT, FRONT AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. DRIVER SUSTAINED MINOR INJURIES TO THE HEAD AND ARMS.*AK THE RUBBER GRIP ON THE BRAKES POPPED OFF WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED.

CONSUMER'S VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONT END COLLISION WHILE DRIVING AT 20 MPH AND THE FRONT AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THERE WAS NO INDICATION OR WARNING THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE AIR BAGS BEFORE THE COLLISION. *AK *PH *NLM

WE HAD A WRECK WHERE WE HIT THE BACK OF A FORD 150 TRUCK. WE WERE GOING ABOUT 35 MILES /HR AND THE AIR BAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY AND THE REAR SEATS BELTS DIDN'T LOCK, SO THAT MY KIDS HEADS HIT THE BACKS OF THE FRONT SEATS. *AK

I HAVE READ ABOUT SLUDGE BUILD UP IN THE ENGINE OF THE CHRYSLER SEBRING 2.7 ENGINES. I AM EXPERIANCING A KNOCKING NOISE IN THE ENGINE OR SUSPENSION THAT IS INTERMETTENT. I EXPERIANCE THIS PROBLEM WHEN MY ENGINE IS HOT AND ALSO WHEN THE WEATHER IS HOT (AS I LIVE IN FLORIDA). I DO NOT NOTICE THIS WHEN THE WEATHER IS COOLER AND THE ENGINE IS COOL. COULD THIS BE THE STARTING OF ENGINE BUILD UP TOO. SUNCOAST CHRYSLER CANNOT SEEM TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG. WOULD A DIAGNOSIS TEST ON THE ENGINE REVEAL SIGNS OF BUILD UP? HOW CAN I HAVE THIS CHECKED OUT AND FIXED? I HAVE ALSO EXPERIANCED A CLICKING NOISE IN MY STERRING COLUMN WHICH SUNCOAST CLAIMS TO HAVE A TSB ON THIS PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO REPLACE A SOME PARTS. YOUR INPUT IS GREATLY APPRECIATED.

I PURCHASE MY CAR IN 2001 BRAND NEW. SHORTLY AFTER I STARTED TO NOTICE THAT WHEN I GET IN MY CAR IN THE MORNING TIME OR AT NIGHT ( WHENEVER I USE THE LIGHTS) IT WOULD FLASH FROM BRIGHT TO DIM I TOOK IT TO STOCKBURGER SO THEY COULD LOOK AT IT BUT IT WASN'T FLICKERING THEN SO THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING. AND IT'S STILL DOING THE SAME THING THERE IS THIS NOISE IN THE ENGINE LIKE A TICKING SOUND WHEN I START THE CAR I TOOK TO MIDAS FOR THEM TO CHECK IT OUT BUT THEY SAID THE NOISE WAS NORMAL IT DOESN'T SOUND NORMAL. THE WINDOW ON THE DRIVER SIDE DOESN'T ALWAYS GO UP WHEN ITS LET DOWN IT STAYS STUCK FOR A WHILE THEN IT GOES UP. I DID HAVE A RADIO PROBLEM STOCKBURGER COULDN'T REALLY FIND THE PROBLEM SO THEY JUST REPLACE THE WHOLE THING. WHEN I DRIVE THE CAR THE DRIVER DOOR CONSTANTLY COMES OPEN. *JB
