SUSPENSION:REAR
I BOUGHT MY 2001 CHRYSLER SEBRING CONVERTIBLE BRAND NEW BACK IN 2001. FOR THE LAST FEW YEARS, I'D BEEN HEARING A SLIGHT CLUNKING COMING FROM SOMEWHERE IN MY PASSENGER SIDE, REAR SUSPENSION. ON THE NIGHT OF JULY 10TH, 2008 MY WIFE AND I WERE ON THE HIGHWAY AND STARTING HEARING A MAJOR BANGING COMING FROM THE SAME AREA. I THOUGHT MY SHOCK HAD LOOSENED AS I HAD HEARD THAT BEFORE ON A PREVIOUS CAR. I WAS 140 MILES FROM HOME ON MY WAY FOR A WEEKEND VACATION. THEN ON MONDAY I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY MECHANIC TELLING HIM I THOUGHT I NEED NEW REAR STRUTS. AFTER LOOKING AT MY CAR, HE TELLS ME THAT IT WASN'T THE STRUT THAT LET GO IT WAS THE STRUT MOUNT PLATE THAT HAS RUBBER IN THE MIDDLE OF IT THAT RUSTED AWAY AND IT PUNCHED THROUGH UP INTO THE REAR DASH COMPARTMENT. HE SAID HE CALLED AROUND TO THE DEALERS AND EVERY ONE OF THEM SAID THAT PART WAS ON BACKORDER DUE TO A FACTORY CLOSING AND THAT AS OF THAT DATE THERE WERE OVER 11,000 CARS THAT NEEDED THEM AND WERE WAITING ON CHRYSLER TO GET THE PART FROM AN OUT OF COUNTRY FACTORY. THEN HE SAID EVEN WORSE, WHEN THE PART WAS AVAILABLE TO SHIP TO A LOCAL DEALER IT WOULD TAKE 5 WORKING DAYS TO GET IT INTO THE COUNTRY AND ANOTHER 5 WORKING DAYS TO GET IT SHIPPED TO THE DEALER. I'VE BEEN WITHOUT MY CAR NOW FOR OVER 2 WEEKS AND MY MECHANIC WAS TOLD THAT THE FACTORY IS ONLY PRODUCING AND SHIPPING OUT ONLY 500 EVERY OTHER WEEK OR SO .... WHERE I'M ABOUT NUMBER 10,999 ON THE WAITING LIST I'D SAY THAT PUTS ME AT AROUND 10 MONTHS WITHOUT A CAR !!!! UNACCEPTABLE ! THE FACT THAT THIS PART IS SO FAR BACK ORDERED TELLS ME THAT CHRYSLER WAS USING FAULTY PARTS TO BEGIN WITH OR THEY WOULDN'T BE ROTTING OUT LIKE THEY ARE SO CONSISTENTLY. MY MECHANIC SAID HE EVEN TRIED TO GET THE PART FROM A NETWORK OF JUNKYARDS AND THEY ALL SAID THAT THE EXACT SAME PART WERE ALL HALF ROTTED OUT OF ALL THE SEBRINGS IN THE LOT .... HELP !! *TR

I HAD THE 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING FOR SEVEN MONTHS,AND ON 6/26/2008 THE CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE. THEN I RECEIVED A RECALL THE FOLLOWING WEEK ON A TUESDAY BUT THAT WAS TO LATE. NOW THE CAR WAS A TOTAL LOSS AND I AM OUT OF A CAR. I JUST WANT SOMEONE TO REPLACE THE CAR AND LET ME CONT TO PAY ON IT, SO I WILL HAVE A WAY TO WORK AND DOCTOR APPOINTMENTS. INSTEAD I STILL HAVE THE CAR ON MY CREDIT AND CAN NOT GET ANOTHER ONE. THIS WAS NOT MY FAULT BE THEY ARE TREATING ME LIKE I SET THE CAR ON FIRE BUT IT WAS DUE TO THE RECALL. MY 6 YEAR OLD SON AND I WAS IN THE CAR AT THE TIME BUT LUCKILY WE GOT OUT AND WAS NOT HURT. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
VEHICLE HAS DIED FOR NO REASON ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, AND THEN RECENTLY STARTED KNOCKING. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE ENGINE WAS RUINED WITH SLUDGE. IT IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. WE HAVE DONE A FEW OF THE OIL CHANGES OURSELVES, AND HAD SOME DONE AT AUTO SERVICES OTHER THAN CHRYSLER SO THEY DO NOT WISH TO WARRANTY THE ENGINE. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM I DISCOVERED AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET AND CHRYSLER IS TRYING NOT TO HONOR THE WARRANTY BY CLAIMING THE OIL WAS NOT CHANGED CORRECTLY BY THE OWNER, AND OR, THE SERVICE COMPANIES OTHER THAN CHRYSLER. I CANNOT AFFORD TO CONTINUE PAYING FOR A CAR THAT DOES NOT RUN, AND I CANNOT AFFORD A NEW ENGINE FOR A CAR THAT IS A 2004 MODEL, OR ANY YEAR MODEL FOR THAT MATTER. A $20,000 VEHICLE SHOULD LAST MORE THAN 4 OR 5 YEARS. 20,000. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 CHRYSLER SEBRING CONVERTIBLE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE REAR STRUT MOUNT DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE REAR STRUT WAS CORRODED, WHICH CAUSED IT TO FAIL. THE TECHNICIAN ALSO STATED THAT THE COMPANY THAT MANUFACTURED THE PARTS WAS NO LONGER IN BUSINESS; THEREFORE, THEY COULD NOT PROVIDE HER WITH AN ESTIMATE OF WHEN THE PARTS WOULD BE PRODUCED TO MAKE THE REPAIRS. AS OF JULY 24, 2008, THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED AND CANNOT BE DRIVEN. THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 90,000.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I'VE BEEN A CHRSYLER PERSON ALL MY LIFE. ONE DAY ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO I NOTICED MY TRANSMISSION NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY, IT STUCK IN LOW GEAR AND AFTER I GAVE THE VEHICLE MORE AND MORE GAS IT THEN FINALLY SHIFTED INTO SECOND GEAR. AFTER PARKING ON A SLIGHT GRADE ON A HILL SOMETHING WITH MY FLUID LEVEL WAS NOT PROPER. I CHECKED MY FLUID AND ALL WAS GOOD. I HAVE A ASSOCIATE DEGREE IN MECHANICS. SO, AFTER ANOTHER WEEK WENT BY MY TRANSMISSION AGAIN WOULD NOT SHIFT PROPERLY AFTER LEAVING WORK ON DAY. THIS TIME I WAS PARKED ON A LEVEL PARKING LOT. IT DONE THIS A COUPLE TIME BEFORE SENDING TO GET LOOKED AT. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP TO LOOK AT IT AT THIS POINT. I ADVISED THAT MY TRANSMISSION WAS SHIFTING WEIRD AND IT DIDN'T DO IT ALL THE TIME. SO THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC TEST, ROAD TESTED AND WAS ADVISED NOTING WAS WRONG WITH IT. I ADVISED THEM THAT WHY WOULD I BRING MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE IF THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. AGAIN I ADVISED IT DOESN'T DO IT ALL THE TIME AND I ALSO ASKED IF THEY HAD ANY SERVICE PROBLEMS WITH THAT TRANSMISSION? SERVICE MANAGER ADVISED ME- THEY HAD A FEW ISSUES. BUT UNTIL THEY COME UP WITH A DIAGNOSTIC PROBLEM THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THEY DID ADVISE ME TO CHANGE MY TRANNY OIL ALSO AT THAT TIME. I ONLY HAD 49,000 ON MY CAR AT THAT TIME. I AM STILL EXPERIENCING THIS SHIFTING PROBLEM TO THIS DATE. I HOPE NHTSA COULD HELP IN THIS MANNER. *TR

AS OF SUNDAY (7/20/08), I WAS DRIVING AND MY ENGINE CUT OFF (NO WARNING), POWER STEERING & BREAKS LOCKED UP....I LOST CONTROL OF MY CAR. AFTER MY CAR CAME TO A STOP I ATTEMPTED TO RE-START AND IT FAILED. I THEN PLACED THE CAR IN PARK, TOOK THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION, PUT IT BACK IN AND THE CAR CRANKED UP. I DROVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP MONDAY (7/21/08) MORNING AND GOT IT BACK LATER THE SAME DAY WITH ZERO HELP. THEY SAID NOTHING CAME UP WHEN THEY HOOKED IT UP TO THE COMPUTERS. SO IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN TO LET THEM KNOW. THAT CHRYSLER HAD NO RECALLS OR REPORTED ISSUES FOR THIS PROBLEM. I WENT ON-LINE YESTERDAY AND LEARNED A RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED VISITING OTHER WEBSITES'INCLUDING YOURS (RECALL NUMBER: 08V152000) AND IT'S NOT POSTED ON CHRYSLER'S WEBSITE. I CALLED CHRYSLER TO NOTIFY THEM THAT I HAVE 2008 SEBRING AND NEED TO BE INCLUDED ON THIS RECALL AND THAT I HADN'T RECEIVED A NOTICE. THEY SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL AND I'M OUT OF LUCK. I THEN CALLED THE TALLAHASSEE, FL DEALERSHIP BACK AND TOLD THEM ALL THE INFORMATION I FOUND ONLINE AND THAT I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND I DON'T WANT TO END UP AS A STATISTIC ON THE SIDE OF THE RODE. THE DEALERSHIP THEN SAID FOR ME TO BRING THE CAR BACK SO THEY CAN LOOK AT IT AGAIN. I'M CURRENTLY DRIVING A RENTAL. *TR

REAR TOP STRUT BRACKETS ARE MADE OF ALUMINUM AND HAVE DISINTEGRATED. THIS ALLOWS STRUT TO SHIFT OUTWARD RESULTING IN COIL SPRING RUBBING ON INSIDE OF REAR TIRE. I AM WAITING ON THE REPLACEMENT BRACKET, BUT DEALER TELLS ME THERE ARE 10,000 ON BACK ORDER! THIS IS APPARENTLY A BIG PROBLEM WITH THE TOP REAR STRUT BRACKETS ON SEBRING CONVERTIBLES AND SEDANS. SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED LONG BEFORE BRACKETS DESINTEGRATE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE AND STARTED TO HEAR A KNOCKING IN THE REAR OF MY VEHICLE. I STOPPED AT A MUFFLER/SHOCK DEALER AND THEY HAD TO REPLACE A BROKEN UPPER STRUT PLATE AND BEARINGS ON THE RIGHT REAR, BECAUSE THESE PARTS HAD COMPLETELY RUSTED AWAY. MY VEHICLE IS ONLY 4-YEARS OLD. ABOUT A MONTH LATER, THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO THE LEFT REAR OF MY VEHICLE, BUT THE SHOP COULD NOT LOCATE ANY REPAIR PARTS. THERE ARE SO MANY OF THESE PARTS BREAKING THE DEALERS CAN'T KEEP THE PARTS ON HAND. I WAS TOLD BY CHRYSLER CORP AND OTHER PARTS DEALERS; THAT THERE ARE OVER 9,000 OF THESE STRUT-PLATES ON BACK ORDER. THIS MAKES DRIVING THE CAR UNSAFE, AND WITH THESE MANY BREAKDOWNS THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN A RECALL TO REIMBURSE OWNERS FOR THIS EXPENSE. *TR

IN MAY, WHILE DRIVING MY PASSENGER SIDE REAR STRUT MOUNT ON MY 2002 CHRYSLER SEBRING BROKE. I TOOK MY CAR IN AND HAD IT FIXED AND HAD TO LEAVE IT AS THE DEALERSHIP (GOLLING CHRYSLER) ADVISED ME THAT IT WAS A SAFETY HAZARD TO DRIVE WITH THE BROKEN STRUT MOUNT. ON 06/29/08, MY DRIVER SIDE REAR STRUT MOUNT BROKE. THIS TIME, THE DEALERSHIP (CLARKSTON CHRYSLER) STATED THAT THERE ARE NO REPLACEMENT PARTS AS THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW WITH THE PART AND THEY HAD TO BE REENGINEERED. SO, I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR SINCE 06/29/08. MY CAR ONLY HAD 65,000 MILES BUT IT IS PARKED AND UNUSABLE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND THERE IS A BACKLOG OF 10,000 PARTS ON ORDER. CHRYSLER CALLED TO STATE THAT THEY ESTIMATE THAT THE PARTS WOULD BE IN ON AUGUST 11TH. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A SAFETY HAZARD - OR AT LEAST THAT WHAT THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME AND I CANT IMAGINE THAT VERY MANY PEOPLE CAN SHELVE THEIR CAR FOR 6 WEEKS AND INSTEAD - LIKE ME, HAVE HAD TO DRIVE THERE CAR ON OCCASION. I WAS ABLE TO BURROW SOMEONE'S VEHICLE BUT THERE WERE STILL TIMES WHEN I DID HAVE TO DRIVE MY SEBRING WHEN ANOTHER VEHICLE WASN'T AVAILABLE. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT OF THOSE 65000 MILES, WELL OVER 99 % WERE ON HIGHWAY AND PAVED ROADS. THERE ARE NO DIRT ROADS IN THE AREA AND IT IS RARE THAT I EVER DRIVE ON ONE. *TR

ON JULY 10TH,2008 I HEARD A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE BACK OF MY 2002 CHRYSLER SEBRING 4DR SEDAN. I PULLED OVER AND NOTICED THE REAR PASSENGER STRUT HAD FALLEN FROM THE MOUNTING BRACKET. I TOOK THE CAR ON JULY 11TH TO GET IT FIXED. THE REPAIR SHOP TOLD ME THAT THE BRACKET REQUIRED (4879072AD) IS ON EXTREME BACKORDER AND IT COULDN'T BE FIXED. I CALLED ALL OVER THE COUNTRY SEARCHING FOR THIS PART. IT IS ONLY AVAILABLE THROUGH THE DEALERS. THERE IS NO AFTERMARKET REPLACEMENT. ALL DEALERS EVERYWHERE ARE OUT AND HAVE ORDERS PLACED ON CHRYSLER BUT NEVER GET THE PARTS. I CALLED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY ACTED AS IF THEY DIDN'T KNOW OF THE PROBLEM. AFTER BEING PERSISTENT, I FOUND THAT THERE ARE OVER 10,200 ON BACKORDER IN THE US AS OF 7/17. ASSUMING 2 PER CAR AND SOME DEALER "SAFETY STOCK", THIS COULD ADD UP TO 4000 CARS WHICH ARE NOT BEING DRIVEN BECAUSE OF THE PARTS AVAILABILITY OR ARE BEING DRIVEN UNSAFE. EVERY CHRYSLER PARTS DEALER I CALLED SAID THE POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR THE WHEEL TO FALL OFF WITHOUT THE STRUT ATTACHED. IT ALSO CAUSES DAMAGE TO TIRES AND OTHER COMPONENTS. I CHECKED WITH JUNK YARDS HOPING TO FIND A SET. I DID FIND THEM AND THEY ARE IN THE SAME CONDITION AS MINE. IF THE CARPET IN THE TRUNK IS PULLED BACK YOU WILL SEE WHITE DUST AND CORROSION EVERYWHERE. I HEARD FROM A DEALER THAT THE PARTS COME FROM MEXICO AND THE PLANT IS ON STRIKE, THERE HAVE BEEN CARS SITTING AND WAITING FOR THIS PART FOR UP TO 3 MONTHS, BEST CASE I CAN GET PARTS IN 1 MONTH. FROM A PARTS, SAFETY AND AWARENESS STANDPOINT, CHRYSLER HAS DROPPED THE BALL ON THIS ONE. UNACCEPTABLE. I AM OUT CAR RENTAL FEES AND HAVE BEEN ON THE PHONE FOR DAYS! THEY COULD AT LEAST ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM! I AM CERTAIN THEY KNOW OF IT. *TR

ON JUNE 21, 2008 MY VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE. IT WAS TOTALED. CHRYSLER STATED THEY WOULD GIVE ME A RENTAL.
