STEERING
I HAVE 2005 CHRYSLER SEBRING CONVERTIBLE, PURCHASED IN 2006, USED FROM A LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER WITH ONLY 9000 MILES. TODAY, JULY 16, 2009. IT HAD A WARRANTY OF 3 YEARS OR 36000 MILES. THE UPPER BALL JOINT IS RATTLING AROUND, TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY GAVE ME A ESTIMATE OF 389.00. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. THE PART IS CLEARLY DEFECTIVE. MY BOYFRIEND IS A MECHANIC. BALL JOINTS SHOULD GO 100,000 MILES BEFORE REPLACEMENT. I WANT TO FILE A DEFECT COMPLAINT. *TR LAURIE TREADWELL

SEAT BELTS
I OWN A 1999 CHRYSLER SEBRING CONVERTIBLE THAT ALL THE SEAT BELTS LOCK IN THE RETRACTED POSITION FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THIS OCCURS RANDOMLY AND LASTS FOR A WEEK OR MORE AT A TIME. I USE THE CAR VERY LITTLE BECAUSE OF THIS. THE LOCAL DEALER MIKE FAMOUS (NOW CLOSED) SAID IT WOULD BE ABOUT $700 TO REPAIR. I THINK THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE SINCE THIS IS OF SAFETY IN NATURE. I CONSIDER SEAT BELTS A VALUABLE PROTECTIVE DEVICE THAT SHOULD NOT FAIL LIKE THIS EVER. I DON'T HAVE ANY CHANCE OF USING SEAT BELTS WHEN I WANT TO USE THE CAR. IF I GO OUT TO USE THE VEHICLE AND THE BELTS ARE LOCKED I DON'T USE IT. NOT TO MENTION SEAT BELT LAWS AND THE TICKET I WOULD GET . *TR

I HAVE A 2000 SEBRING JXI CONVERTIBLE. THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BELT BASE WIRES BROKE AND TORE OFF THE CLICK IN PART.. I BROUGHT IT TO CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR AND THEY SAID THEY WOULDN'T REPLACE IT. THEY WERE GOING TO CHARGE ME OVER $300.00 DOLLARS TO PUT IN A NEW BASE. MY HUSBAND TRANSFERRED THE PASSENGERSIDE BASE TO THE DRIVERS SIDE FOR ME. BUT I CAN'T TAKE ANYONE WITH ME IN THE CAR. I AM STILL UPSET. I WISH THEY WOULD SEND ME A NEW BASE. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
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

VISIBILITY
THERE HAS BEEN A FILM ON THE WINDSHIELD EVER SINCE I BOUGHT THIS CAR. I HAVE TRIED TO CLEAN IT WITH SEVERAL THINGS ADVISED AND EVEN TOOK IT TO A PLACE THAT CLEANS VEHICLES IN OUR AREA, BUT NO MATTER WHAT, THE FILM IS STILL THERE. I HAVE BOUGHT AT LEAST 3 NEW, DIFFERENT TYPES OF WINDSHIELD WIPERS. THERE IS A SPOT HERE AND THERE ON THE WINDSHIELD WHERE YOU WILL HAVE CLEAR VISION BUT IT IS NOT WHERE IT IS NEEDED. I HAVE TRIED CLEANING THE BLADES ALSO BECAUSE OF BUILD UP AND THE SQUEAK IS AWFUL. THIS CAR HAS BEEN THE BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT AND LEMON THAT I HAVE EVER BOUGHT. *TR

DEFECTIVE HORN ASSEMBLY 2006 CHRYSLER SEBRING TOURING CONVERTIBLE HORN GOES OFF INTERMITTENTLY (BUT NOT WHEN I WANT IT TO) AND REMAINS ON FOR 30-60 SECONDS. THIS IS A MUCH COMPLAINED ABOUT PROBLEM FOR PEOPLE WITH 2005 AND 2006 SEBRINGS. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS GOOGLE "2006 SEBRING HORN COMPLAINTS" AND YOU'LL SEE THE SAME EXACT COMPLAINT OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN. AND YOU'LL ALSO SEE THAT CHRYSLER HAS TURNED A DEAF EAR TO THE PROBLEM. THIS IS ESP. DANGEROUS BECAUSE (ACCORDING TO OTHERS WHO'VE HAD THIS LOOKED AT) THE AIRBAG MODULE IS AT FAULT, ALTHOUGH THE AIRBAG LIGHT ISN'T ON. IMAGINE HOW SOMETHING LIKE YOUR HORN SUDDENLY GOING ON AND REMAINING ON FOR THAT PERIOD OF TIME MIGHT CREATE DANGEROUS CONDITIONS TO THE DRIVERS AND PEDESTRIANS. *TR
