2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING Complaints

MY 2008 CHRYSLER CONVERTIBLE CLOTH TOP HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR 3 WEEKS AS OF TODAY. THE TRUNK LID WON'T GO DOWN. THE TOWING COMPANY WOULD NOT EVEN TOW IT BECAUSE IT WOULD DAMAGE THE CAR FURTHER. CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID THEY HAD SEVERAL COMPLAINTS AND THAT THEY WERE "TOOLING" THE TOP. *TR

CHRYSLER SEBRING HARDTOP COVERTIBLE. I CAN ACTIVATE THE HARDTOP TO RAISE OR LOWER WHEN IN DRIVE. THIS TO ME COULD BE A BIG SAFETY ISSUE. IF II'M DRIVING AND SOME HOW THIS CONTROL IS ACTIVATED IT'LL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. IT HASN'T HAPPEN TO ME YET HAS IT HAPPEN OTHERS? *TR

I PURCHASED A NEW 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING HARDTOP CONVERTIBLE IN OCTOBER OF 2007 AND I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE CONVERTIBLE TOP AND DOOR LOCKS. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE SHOP SEVERAL TIMES REGARDING THIS MATTER AND THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO SATISFIED ME REGARDING MY CAR. *TR

THE 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING CONVERTIBLE THAT I HAD WOULD JUST SHUT OFF ON ME WHEN I WAS DRIVING OR IF I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT. I WAS NOT HARD ON THE CAR AND I DROVE IT REGULAR. ONE DAY I WAS STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF LUNCH HOUR TRAFFIC AND THE LIGHT WAS RED, I WENT TO PUSH THE GAS AND REALIZED THE CAR HAD SHUT OFF ON ME. IT DIDN'T SEEM LIKE IT STALLED BECAUSE IF A CAR USUALLY STALLS IT WOULD SHAKE OR SOMETHING. THE CAR JUST TURNED OFF AT THE RED LIGHT AND WHEN THE LIGHT WENT GREEN I COULDN'T GO. I WAS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND HAD TO HAVE PEOPLE GO AROUND ME. I DIDN'T KNOW IF I PUT THE CAR IN PARK I COULD GO AGAIN. I DIDN'T EXPECT IT TO JUST SHUT OFF ON ME IN THE FIRST PLACE IT WAS A NEWER CAR. IT HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN ONCE. I AM JUST THANKFUL ONE OF THE OTHER TIMES I WAS IN A PARKING LOT WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR. *TR

I HAD A SEVERE SIDE IMPACT ON MY 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING WHEN ANOTHER VEHICLE RAN A STOP SIGN AND BROADSIDED ME. I HAVE SIDE AIRBAGS, THE CURTAIN AIRBAGS AND THE ONES IN THE SEAT. NOT ONE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. CHRYSLER IS SAYING THE IMPACT WAS NOT SUFFICIENT TO DEPLOY THE BAGS. I DON'T ACCEPT THAT. THE DAMAGE TO MY CAR WAS $8,500.00 AND HAD TO REPLACE BOTH FRONT AND REAR DOORS AND THE ENTIRE SIDE FRAME. THE AIR BAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. *TR

MY 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING WAS BROUGHT BACK TO THE DEALER FOR A WEEK TO HAVE MY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DISPLAY REPAIR BECAUSE IT IS 1/4 TANK OFF AND THE CAR RUN OUT OF GAS TWICE IN THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE IT IS STILL SHOWING A 1/4 TANK LEFT .THE LAST INCIDENT HAPPEN YESTERDAY 3/21/09 . THE CAR JUST STOP WHILE CRUISING AND THE FUEL GAGE STILL SHOW A 1/4 TANK LEFT. I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND LUCKILY II DIDN'T GET INTO AN ACCIDENT AND LOOSE CONTROL OF MY CAR WHEN IT RUN OUT ODF GAS. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING IN AUGUST 2007, FROM DARCARS BRAND NEW, AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE CHRYSLER WAS AWARE OF THE RECALL 6MONTHS PRIOR AND MADE NO ATTEMPT TO INFORM ME. MY CAR IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP BEING SERVICED. I TOOK THE CAR IN BECAUSE SUDDENLY THE CAR BEGIN TO MAKE A HORRIBLE NOISE, THAT I DESCRIBED TO THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE AS A NOISY FAN BELT, THAT WHINNIED WHILE DRIVING, BUT NOISIEST WHILE IN PARK, ODILIMG AT THE STOP LIGHT. I TOOK THE CAR IN AND THEY PRETENDED NOT TO HAVE A CLUE, AND BEGIN TO INQUIRE ABOUT OIL CHANGES AND OTHER SUGGESTED MAINTENANCE, I SHOWED THE WRITER AND MECHANIC MY MOST CURRENT MAINTENANCE RECEIPT PRINTOUT ALONG WITH THE PREVIOUS DATES, SO THEY BACKED AWAY FROM THE INDIRECT ACCUSATIONS THAT IT WAS POSSIBLY MY FAULT. THE POWER STEERING PUMP IS DEFECTED, THE PULLEY FROZE, AND THE ALTERNATOR. THE CAR HAS ONLY BEEN USED TO TRANSPORT MY CHILDREN TO AND FROM SCHOOL AND SOCIAL EVENTS, AND MY TRANSPORTATION TO AND FROM WORK, GROCERY STORES AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE. MY MILEAGE IS 31,418. THEY ARE BEHAVING AS IF THEY DON'T HAVE A CLUE, BUT AFTER LOOKING INTO SEVERAL RECALL LINKS, I AM APPALLED THAT THEY KNOWINGLY SOLD ME A LEMON AT REGULAR PRICE, WITH NO DISCOUNT. I HAVE SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS. I ONLY RECEIVED ON RECALL NOTICE, BUT BEING THE DRIVER AND EXPERIENCING THE PROBLEMS, THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLS FOR RECALL ID 07V473000, AND RECALL DATED FOR APRIL 2, 2008 SEBRING ELECTRICAL SYSTEM;WIRING RECALL ID 35950. ALSO THE RECALL TITLED ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING;COOLING SYSTEM RADIATOR ID#55084. THE ALTERNATOR IS AN ELECTRICAL OPERATING PIECE, IT ALSO TIE INTO THE RECALL TITLED "TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR, BECAUSE ONE OF THE CONSEQUENCES INCLUDE STALLING, AND BATTERY CORROSION, AND STOPPING WITHOUT NOTICE, WHICH IS ALSO CAUSED BY A DEFECTED ALTERNATOR. I DRIVE TWO SCHOOL AGE CHILDREN, TWO GRANDCHILDREN, 1MONTH, AND 13MONTHS OLD. CHRYSLER PUT US ALL IN DANGER KNOWINGLY. BUT STILL TO DATE ACTS AS IF THEY DO NOT HAVE A CLUE. *TR

WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO DEALER THE NEXT DAY AND THE DEALER REPLACE ONE SPARK PLUG AND IGNITION COIL. THEN FEW DAYS LATER ON 2/3/09 THE SAME ENGINE LIGHT MALFUNCTION INDICATOR CAME ON AGAIN AND THE CAR STARTED ROUGH AND VIBRATING, RETURN TO CAR DEALERS FOR A SECOND DIAGNOSTIC AND THE DEALER FOUND THAT THE CAR PCM WAS FAULTY. DEALER REPLACED DEFECTIVE PCM. *TR
