PURCHASED A 1998 CHRYSLER SEBRING JULY 1998. HAD SO MANY PROBLEMS WITHIN A FEW WEEK PERIOD THAT THE DEALER TOOK IT BACK, AND GAVE ME ANOTHER ONE IN AUGUST 1998. AFTER A COUPLE OF WEEKS, THE 2ND SEBRING DEVELOPED SIMILAR PROBLEMS. WHEN DRIVING OVER BUMPS PRIMARILY ON LEFT SIDE, A LOUD METALIC RAT-A-TAT-TAT SOUND COMING FROM WHEELS. ALSO, INTERMITTENT STEERING PROBLEMS. WHEN MAKING A RIGHT TURN, WITH FOOT ON BRAKE PEDAL, STEERING WHEEL PULLS TO THE LEFT. SAME RESULTS WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN, STEERING WHEEL PULLS TO THE RIGHT. *AK

#703156February 10, 1999
SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC
FRONT ROTORS REQUIRE RESURFACING EVERY 3000 TO 5000 MILES. CAR WAS PURCHASED USED WITH 24,000 MILES. FRONT ROTORS HAD TO BE RESURFACED SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE AND AGAIN 4000 MILE LATER. LOCAL DEALER (NOT ONE LISTED ABOVE) WAS QUESTIONED ON CAUSE AND IF ANY RECALLS WERE IN EFFECT. DEALER HAD NO CAUSE AND SUGGESTED THE ROTORS BE REPLACED. ROTORS WERE REPLACED WITH AFTER MARKET COMPONENTS AT APPROXIMATLY 39,000 MILES. THE ROTORS NOW REQUIRE RESURFACING TO ELIMINATE PULSATING BRAKES. I'M FRUSTRATED WITH THE COST AND TIME I HAVE TO INVEST. I'M ALSO CONCERNED THAT OTHERS MAY NOT HAVE THEIR BRAKES REPAIRED AND BE LEFT WITH INEFFECTIVE BRAKES.

SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER ARM
THERE WAS A RECALL IN 1997 ON CHRYSLER SEBRINGS BUILT FROM JULY 1994 TO JULY 1995 FOR A LOWER CONTROL ARM DEFECT. THE FACTORY LUBRICATED BALL JOINT WOULD DRY OUT AND THE LOWER CONTROL ARM WOULD COLLAPSE. THIS HAPPENED TO MY 1995 SEBRING. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND EVEN THOUGH MY CAR WAS BUILT DURING THAT TIME THEY CLAIM THE VIN # WAS NOT ONE OF THE RECALLS THE INSURANCE COMPANY IS GOING TO REPLACE THE PART WITH A USED 96 PART, I AM AFRAID IT MY BE DEFECTIVE. ALSO, NOT THE TO MENTION THE LEFT CONTROL ARM STILL ON THE CAR AS ORIGINAL. I THINK THE LEAST THEY SHOULD DO IS ONCE THE PART IS ON MY CAR THEY SHOULD TEST THE LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE FREE OF CHARGE AND REPLACE THEM IF THEY FAIL. I ALSO SHOULD BE RE-IMBRUST FOR MY $500.00 I HAD TO PAY MY INSURANCE COMPANY, BECAUSE IF THAT PART DID FAIL, IT ALSO CAUSED THE SNAPPING OF MY HALF SHAFT ON THE LEFT SIDE. PLEASE CONTACT ME WITH SUGGESTIONS AS TO0 WHAT I CAN DO I FEEL I WILL BE DRIVING AN UNSAFE CAR UNTIL I KNOW FOR SURE WHAT HAPPENED. *AK
