UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE TROTTLE STUCK ON MY 1996 CHRYSLER SEABRING. I WAS PASSING A VEHICLE AND WHEN II WENT TO BRAKE AND GET IN FRONT OF HIM I COULDN'T STOP. THE ENGINE WAS REVING AT 8000 RPMS. AND I WAS HOLDING THE BRAKES AS HARD AS I COULD AND I WAS GOING ABOUT MAYBE 60 MPH. I DID GET THE CAR TO COME TO A STOP, AFTER HAVING TO TURN 2 CORNERS VERY FAST AND GOING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION. I HAD PUT IT BACK AND FORTH FORM NURTAL & REVERSE AND WHEN THE CAR WAS SLOW ENOUGH I PUT IT IN PARK AND TURNED THE KEY OFF. I CAME CLOSE TO USING A WALL, OR A HOUSE UNDER CONSTRUCTION FOR A WAY TO STOP. I WAS EXTREAMY SCARRED AND LUCKY THAT NO ONE WAS HURT AND AT THE TIME, NO ONE HAD BEEN GOING THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. TODAY WE CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY WILL FIX THE PROBLEM, BUT WE NEED TO GET THE CAR THERE. IT IS UNSAFE TO EVEN START THE ENGINE RIGHT NOW. WE LOOKED ON LINE AND FOUND NHTSA CAMPAIGN # 02V186000.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I AM THE OWNER OF A 1998 CHRYSLER SEBRING, AND RECENTLY HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION (AUTOMATIC) NOT SHIFTING CORRECTLY. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT AND THE SHOP SAID THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. THEY SAID THAT WHEN THE ECT MODULE INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION GOES BAD, IT CAUSES THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION TO BURN OUT. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER TO GET A SECOND OPINION AND THEY TOO CONFIRMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAD GONE BAD, DUE TO THE MODULE GOING OUT. MY BOYFRIEND WORKS IN THE AUTOMOTIVE PARTS BUSINESS AND HE TALKED TO A FEW SHOPS ABOUT THIS VEHICLE AND THEY ALL SAID THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THE CHRYSLER SEBRING. THE VEHICLE HAS ABOUT 112K MILES. WE WERE QUOTED 3K TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE AT THE CHRYSLER DEALER. TS

WHEELS
THIS FAILURE OF THE WHEEL HUB CAP IS THE THIRD TIME THAT THIS ITEM HAS FAILED AND DEPARTED THE VEHICLE WHILE IT WAS IN MOTION. THE DESIGN OF THE WHEEL HUB ON THE CHROME OPTIONAL WHEELS IS EXTREMELY POOR AS THESE HUBS DO NOT STAY IN PLACE. EACH TIME I HAVE HAD TO PURCHASE A NEW HUB AT $58. THESE CENTER HUBS SHOULD BE REDESIGNED AND REPLACED ON ALL VEHICLES. DT
