SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
TAKATA RECALL. I AM HAVING SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THE WHOLE BRAKING SYSTEM, AS IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO PINPOINT THE EXACT CAUSE OF HAVING NO BRAKES. I HAVE NO TYPE OF BRAKES AT ALL. WHEN TAKEN OFF PARKING, EVEN WITH FOOT ON BRAKE, CAR WILL BEGIN TO MOVE. THIS SEEMS TO BE VERY COMMON IN THESE CARS. THE FUEL PUMP WAS ALSO REPLACED AS IT WAS LETTING LESS POWER GO THROUGH. THIS HAPPENS AS THE CAR SITS IN PARKING, AS WELL AS, WHEN DRIVING. ALSO, THE MECHANIC THAT LOOKED AT THE CAR SAID THAT THE PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARDS. THE LIGHTS FLICKER ON AND OFF BY THEMSELVES, SOMETIMES RADIO WORKS, SOMETIMES, LIGHTS GET STUCK ON.

SEAT BELTS
BOTH FRONT SEAT BELTS LOCK UP AND DO NOT RELEASE. IT DOES THIS INTERMITTENTLY BUT MOSTLY DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. WHEN THEY DO WORK THEY TIGHTEN & TIGHTEN TO THE POINT OF ALMOST BEING PAINFUL. MECHANICS DO NOT KNOW WHY THIS SHOULD HAPPEN UNLESS IT IS THE SEAT BELT CONTROL MODULE WHICH CAN ONLY BE DONE BY A DEALER. ONE WORD "EXPENSIVE!" THIS IS A SAFETY & LAW ISSUE AND SHOULD BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE MANUFACTURER FOR FAULTY SAFETY PRODUCT AND OPERATION. AFTER MY RESEARCH I SEE MANY OF THE SAME ISSUES WITH THE SEAT BELTS OVER AND OVER. THIS IS A REPETITIVE PROBLEM. *TR

POWER TRAIN, STEERING, ENGINE
THIS CAR IS A DEATH TRAP AND NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. CAR WILL LOSE ALL POWER, STEERING, AND BRAKES WHILE TRAVELING AT SPEEDS UP TO 55MPH. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I ALMOST KILLED MYSELF BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO 3 MECHANICS AND THEY CANNOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. CHRYSLER WON'T EVEN RETURN MY CALLS REGARDING THE ISSUE, WHICH I'VE RESEARCHED AND FOUND HUNDREDS OF OTHERS WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD AND CHRYSLER SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR WHATEVER IT IS THAT IS CAUSING THIS TO HAPPEN. I'M WONDERING IF I CAN TAKE LEGAL ACTION AGAINST THEM. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE. *TR

PURCHASED A 1999 CHRYSLER SEBRING CONVERTIBLE FOR MY DAUGHTER. THE FRONT SEAT BELTS WERE KNOTTED NEAR THE SEAT BACK REST. WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE, SON AND DAUGHTER UN-KNOTTED THE SEAT BELTS WHICH RETRACTED ALL THE WAY IN. BOTH SEAT BELTS ARE NOW LOCKED AND CANNOT BE RETRACTED. TOOK TO A MECHANIC AND HE WAS UNABLE TO REPAIR IT. DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS, NOT COMFORTABLE ALLOWING MY DAUGHTER TO DRIVE THE CAR. THROUGH MY RESEARCH ONLINE THIS SEEM TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS PARTICULAR CAR AND SERIOUS CONSIDERATION NEED TO BE GIVEN TO ISSUING A RECALL.
