AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
I WAS INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT MAY 16TH AT 2:00 A.M. AT THE CORNER OF PAGE AND BENNINGTON IN CREVE COEUR, MO. THE ENTIRE FRONT OF THE CAR IS SMASHED IN, YET THE AIRBAGS DID NOT GO OFF, WHICH, FROM WHAT I HAVE READ AT HTTP://WWW.CONSUMERAFFAIRS.COM/AUTOMOTIVE/CHRYSLER_AIRBAG.HTM THAT THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE IN CHRYSLER VEHICLES. I SUFFERED A CONCUSSION, THOUGH THE DOCTOR FEARED IT WAS MUCH WORSE, ORDERING UP CAT SCANS TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE WAS NO FURTHER BLEEDING IN MY BRAIN. I FURTHERMORE, HAVE, NOW, A STIFF NECK, WHICH FAILS IN COMPARISON TO OTHER PROBLEMS THAT PEOPLE HAVE HAD, DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE AIRBAG DID NOT RELEASE AS IS, FROM WHAT I HAVE BEEN TOLD, REQUIRED IF THE IMPACT IS STRAIGHT-ON FRONT SIDE OVER 5 MPH. NOW, THAT MAY BE SIMPLY SPECULATION ON MY END, YET, I KNOW RIGHT NOW THAT I HAVE PERMANENT BRAIN DAMAGE DUE TO A FAULTY AIRBAG. *NLM

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SEAT BELTS:FRONT, STRUCTURE, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
THIS CAR IS GARBAGE! I HAVE HAD WATER LEAKS, HAD TO REPLACE COMPLETE FABRIC INTERIOR! THE BATTERY LIGHT NOW REFUSES TO GO OFF ALONG WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT. I HAVE GONE THROUGH 4 BATTERIES IN A YEAR, HAVE REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR AND I STILL HAVE PROBLEMS. NOT ONE SHOP, ALONG WITH A DEALER, CAN UNDERSTAND WHY THIS CAR WILL NOT RUN PROPERLY. THE DEALER WHO SOLD ME THE CAR TOLD ME IT WAS TOO LATE FOR HIM TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I ALSO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS EVERYONE ELSE WITH THE SEAT BELT, DRIVERS SIDE. IT NO LONGER CONNECTS TOGETHER. DEALER WHO SOLD ME CAR STATED THE CAR WAS A 6 CYLINDER AS DOES MY TITLE, FOUND OUT RECENTLY THAT CAR IS ONLY 4 CYLINDER. *NLM

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
THE CHROME PLATE ON THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE HAS "SPLIT". THIS HAS CAUSED ME TO CUT MY FINGER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHEN OPENING THE DOOR. I HAVE ASKED TWO DEALERS TO REPAIR THE HANDLE. I AM TOLD THAT IT WILL COST IN EXCESS OF $500.00 TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE DOOR PANEL. I FIND IT DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE THIS EXPENSE TO REPLACE A $10-15.00 PART. IT WAS A "DEFECT" IN THE PRODUCTION OF THE HANDLE, NOT ABUSE, THAT HAS CREATED THIS SITUATION. I WAS IN TOUCH WITH CUSTOMER "DISSERVICE" ON ONE OCCASION, BUT THEY HAVE NOT RETURNED ANY OF MY CALLS SINCE.*JB

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
I OWN A '99 CHRYSLER SEBRING LXI COUPE AND I'M HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE DOOR TRIM OR CLADDING. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE DOOR TRIM FLAPPING AT THE REAR EDGE OF THE PASSENGER DOOR AND SLIDING FORWARD GETTING CAUGHT CLIPPING THE FRONT FENDER WHILE OPENING THE DOOR. I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL REGARDING THIS PROBLEM AND I CALLED CHRYSLER CORP. I WAS TOLD THAT THE RECALL COVERED VEHICLES MANUFACTURED UP TO AUGUST '98. MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED ON OCTOBER '98. I BELIEVE MY VEHICLE SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THIS RECALL DUE TO THE FACT THAT I'M EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM AND THAT MY CAR WAS PRODUCED SO CLOSE TO THE RECALL DEADLINE. APPARENTLY THE DEFECT THAT WAS TO BE CORRECTED ON CARS PRODUCED AFTER AUGUST '98 WASN'T DONE ON MY VEHICLE. *NLM

STEERING, SUSPENSION:FRONT, EQUIPMENT, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL
FRONT END SUSPENSION, WHEEL BEARING & STEERING - GRINDING NOISE WHEN GOING OVER SMALL HOLES OR HILLS SUCH AS SPEED BUMPS & POT HOLES. ALMOST NEVER WHEN DRIVING DIRECTLY FORWARD, BUT OFTEN WHEN TURNING. DEALER MADE 4 (FOUR) REPAIR ATTEMPTS AND STILL HAS NOT GOTTEN IT RIGHT. NOT 2 MONTHS AFTER LAST REPAIR, WHICH TOOK SIX WEEKS TO GET ALL THE PARTS TOGETHER (DURING WHICH THE LEMON LAW COVERAGE FOR MY CAR EXPIRED - GO WONDER ABOUT THAT..) THE NOISES HAVE RETURNED AGAIN. OTHER ISSUES, I HAVE SEEN 6 TOTAL ISSUES MENTIONED IN THIS SITE THAT I CAN IDENTIFY WITH. AS FOR THOSE SUDDEN ACCELERATIONS SOME HAVE MENTIONED, YES I AGREE THE PEDALS ARE TOO CLOSE WHICH MAKES IT EASY TO MASH BOTH BRAKE & GAS PEDALS. *JB
