2002 CHRYSLER SEBRING CONVERTIBLE Complaints

I FOLLOWED THE MAINTENENCE SCHEDULE ON MY 2002 CHRYSLER SEBRING WITH REGULAR SCHEDULED OIL CHANGES, YET I AM NOW FACED WITH REPLACING THE ENGINE BECAUSE OF OIL SLUDGE BUILD UP IN MY 2.7 ENGINE. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A WELL KNOWN AND COMMON PROBLEM. THE QUOTE FROM THE CHRYSLER SERVICE DEPT IS 10K FOR REPLACEMENT.*AK

DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER FAILED TWICE. UNDER 25,00 MILES AT TIME OF FAILURE. DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT STATED "OPEN CIRICUT IN PRE-TENSIONER ELECTRICAL COMPONENT.*AK HAVE FRIEND WITH SAME CAR WHICH HAD SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER FAIL FOUR TIME. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS IT EFFECTS CORRECT OPERATION OF SEATBELT RESULTING IN POSSIBLE INJURY TO DRIVER AND/OR PASSENGER.

REVVING OF ENGINE WHEN CAR STARTED. TACHOMETER AND SPEEDOMETER REDLINE. CAR WILL NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR. NEED TO TURN OFF AND RESTART. TAKEN TO DEALER. NO CODES FOUND. HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES IN 2 MONTHS. *NM

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

AUTOMOBILE WAS RUNNING NORMALLY, SUDDENLY THERE WAS A LOUD "CLACKING SOUND" FROM THE ENGINE, OIL LIGHT WENT ON, CAR SHUT OFF AS I SLOWED DOWN AND PULLED OFF OF THE TURNPIKE. CHRYSLER IS REFUSING TO HONOR WARRANTY, DESPITE FACT THAT CAR HAS BEEN MAINTAINED PROPERLY. A NEW ENGINE IS REQUIRED (THIS IS THE INFAMOUS 2.7 CHRYSLER/DODGE ENGINE). *AK

DRIVING NORTH ON I-75 I LOST CONTROL OVER MY 2002 CHRYSLER SEBRING CONVERTIBLE - THE CAR VEERED LEFT CROSSED ONE LANE AND HIT THE MEDIAN CONCRETE DIVIDER. 2 FAILURES WERE THE BRAKES AND THE STEERING BECAME UNRESPONSIVE AS I WAS UNABLE TO APPLY THE BRAKES AND UNABLE TO STEER THE CAR. THERE WAS NO SKID MARKS REPORTED BY THE POLICE REPORT. THE DRIVER AIRBAG RIPPED AND DID NOT SUCCESSFULLY BLOW. THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYED PROPERLY. I SUSPECT THAT THE MAIN CAUSE CAUSE OF THIS ACCIDENT WAS THE LACK OF STEERING, WHICH CAUSED THE CAR TO VEER LEFT AND HIT THE CENTER CONCRETE DIVIDER. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY IN STORAGE IN ROYAL OAK, MICHIGAN AND IS A TOTAL LOSS.*AK
