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.

SUSPENSION:FRONT
ON JULY 7, 1999, AFTER LEAVING SHOWROOM WITH NEW '99 SEBRING,THE PROTECTIVE UNDER CARRIAGE CAME PARTIALLY UNDONE ON THE AC EXPRESSWAY. WE HAD TO STOP AND PULL THE REMAINDER OF THE UNDER CARRIAGE FROM UNDER CARRIAGE FROM UNDER FRONT END OF VEHICLE. THE FRONT END OF SEBRING SITS SO LOW THAT THE SLIGHTEST OF INCLINES OR UPGRADES(S) CAUSES A PULLING /FRICTION ON FRONT BUMPER OF VEHICLE.. THE STANDARD CONCRETE PARKING ABUTMENT IN PARKING LOTS CAUSES A PULLING/FRICTION (CONTACT) ACTION IF DRIVEN OVER WHILE TRYING TO PARK. DUE TO THIS CONDITION THE VEHICLE HAS A SLIGHT TEAR ON FRONT BUMPER, FACIA/GUARD.
