THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME I HAVE HEARD OF THIS. THE GENTLEMEN SAID THAT IT WAS NOT UNCOMMON. HE ADVISED ME TO TAKE IT BACK WHERE I BOUGHT IT. YOU HAVE ALL MY RECORDS. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
PROBLEMS WITH MY 1996 CHRYSLER SEBRING. IT GOES THRO TONS OF OIL, I KEEP HAVING TO ADD OIL TO THE CAR, EVERYTHING HAS BEEN BREAKING ON IT. NOW IT PERIODICALLY STALLS OUT NON STOP. THERE IS ONLY 85K MILES ON THE CAR AND IT SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THESE PROBLEMS. I HAVE PUT IN THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS INTO THIS CAR FOR REPAIRS. IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY BY CHRYSLER AND I TOOK IT IN FOR THE OIL ISSUE AND THEY SAID THEY SAW NO PROBLEM, THAT WARRANTY RAN OUT AND MY EXTENDED ONE KICKED IN AND THEY SAID IT HAD OIL LEAKS AND KEPT 'FIXING' THEM. ONCE THAT WARRANTY RAN OUT THEY CHANGED THEIR STORY TO 'THE ENGINE IS CONSUMING THE OIL, THAT'S NOT UNDER WARRANTY'. MEANWHILE I AM LEFT WITH A HORRID CAR THAT WONT RUN. *PH

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE REASON TO BELIEVE THAT THE SECURITY SYSTEM ON MY 2000 CHRYSLER SEBRING LXI IS MALFUNCTIONING AND CAUSING THE CAR TO NOT START. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHERE THE ALARM GOES OFF AND I AM GETTING INTO MY TRUNK OR EVEN IN THE CAR AND DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. AFTER THE CAR'S SECURITY SYSTEM HAS BEEN SET, I AM EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTY STARTING THE CAR. IF I DON'T LOCK MY CAR IT STARTS JUST FINE. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME I NEEDED A NEW ELECTRONIC DISTRIBUTOR. BUT I FEEL IT MAY BE THE SECURITY SYSTEM NOT ALLOWING THE CAR TO START AS IT IS MALFUNCTIONING. ARE THERE ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THIS KIND OUT THERE? *PH
