WHEELS:RIM
ALLUMINUM RIMS LOSE AIR. HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES IN THREE YEARS - TIRE EXPLODES. DEALER SAID THAT CHRYSLER HAS PROBLEM WITH RIMS ON SEBRINGS. MY OUT OF POCKET EXPENSES TO DATE ARE AROUND $2,000 PLUS AN INCREASE IN AUTO INSURANCE. I WANT CHRYSLER TO RECALL THE ALUMINUM RIMS. THEY ARE DANGEROUS. WE'VE HAD THREE ACCIDENTS IN THREE YEARS BECAUSE OF EXPLODING TIRES IN FREEWAY DRIVING. PLEASE DO SOMETHING. (TIRESIZE: STANDARD)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: STANDARD )

(2) AFTER DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL TO DE-ACTIVATE A SPEED SETTING, THE RESUME BUTTON IGNORS THE PRIOR SETTING SPEED AND CONTINUES TO ACCELERATE. (3) WHILE PRESSING AND HOLDING THE SET/COAST BUTTON, THE SPEED ACCELERATES. *AK

1997 SEBRING'S RECALLED FOR THIS REASON. WHEN I CONTACTED CHRYSLER THEY SAID THIS PARTICULAR CAR DID NOT HAVE A RECALL. WHY, THEN, DID THIS HAPPEN TO MY CAR. I REPORTED THE FRONT END OF THE CAR TWICE. THE FIRST TIME, WHEN THE CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY, NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT. THE SECOND TIME, NOT UNDER WARRANTY, THERE WAS 3,500 WORTH OF DAMAGE. THE DEALER TOLD CHRYSLER IT WAS CAUSED BY AN ACCIDENT. I NEVER HAD AN ACCIDENT IN THIS CAR. *AKPERHAPS, BEFORE I OWNED IT?

SUSPENSION:FRONT
I HAVE PURCHASED 2 SETS OF NEW TIRES...MICHELIN & GOODYEAR. EACH TIME I TRY TO GET THIS VEHICLE ALIGNED IT WILL NOT DRIVE STRAIGHT AT ANY SPEED. THE TIRE COMPANY SAYS IT IS ANY ALIGNMENT PROBLEM AND WILL NOT REPLACE THE TIRES DUE TO THE ABNORMAL WEAR(ONLY INSIDE OF TIRES WORN). THE CAR BOUNCES ALL OVER THE ROAD DURING NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. IT SEEMS TO BE A FRONT END PROBLEM ACCORDING TO THE ALIGNMENT SHOP.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
MY TRANSMISION HAS STALLED ON ME MANY TIMES ONE OF THE TIMES ALMOST CAUSING ME TO GET INTO A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT WHEN TURNING INTO A BUSY HIGHWAY. MY CAR HAS BEEN IN DEALERSHIP FOR ALMOST ONE MONTH NOW. I HAVE ALSO HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY BRAKES HAVING THE ROTORS CUT ONCE THEN REPLACED A SECOND TIME. WHEN I TOOK MY CAR IN THE FIRST TIME FOR THE TRANSMISSION THEY SAID IT ONLY NEEDED TRANSMISSION FLUID. WEEKS LATER CAR STALLED ON ME AGAIN AND WHEN WE CHECKED IT, IT HAD NO TRANSMISION FLUID AND WHEN I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID IT HAD TWO LEAKS AND I AM STILL WAITING FOR THEM TO RECIEVE PARTS TO FIX. I AM VERY FRUSTRATED AND STRESSED OUT DUE TO THIS BACK AND FORTH WITH THEM. I DO NOT WANT THE VEHICLE AND AM SCARED TO DRIVE IT AGAIN.
