ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:ALTERNATOR/GENERATOR/REGULATOR, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:12V/24V/48V BATTERY, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
2000 CHRYSLER SEBRING LXI, 51,000 MILES. CAR DOESN'T ALWAYS START. MAY TAKE UP TO 32 TRIES TO START. NOT THE STARTER. NOT THE BATTERY. SOMTIMES STARTS ON FIRST TRY, SOMEIMES UP TO 32 TRIES BEFORE IT STARTS. CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP REPLACED RELAY PLUG ($89.00) BUT DID NOT FIX PROBLEM. NOW TOLD IT IS THE ELECTRONIC DISTRIBUTOR AND THE PART IS $720 AND LABOR $200! CHRYSLER SAYS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTIES. REFUSE ANY HELP. I DON'T BELIEVE THIS PART SHOULD HAVE GONE BAD ALREADY. THIS IS A LEASED VEHICLE AND I DON'T FEEL I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR. I UNDERSTAND TIRES, BATTERIES, BELTS, ETC. BUT NOT ELECTRONIC DISTRIBUTOR. ARE THERE OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THIS KIND ON THIS VEHICLE? *AK

SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER BALL JOINT
ON 06-28-03 I WAS DRIVING MY CAR AT A SPEED OF 35 MPH, WHILE DRIVING MY LOWER BALL JOINT BROKE AND MY CAR LOST CONTROLL. I WAS LATER INFORMED OF THE RECALL ON THE LOWER BALL JOINT, WHICH I WAS NEVER INFORMED OF, AND WAS NEVER REPAIRED. I TOOK MY VEHICLE DIRECTLY TO A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP ON THAT SAME DAY 06-28-03. THEY HAVE HAD MY CAR FOR OVER THREE WEEKS NOW AND I HAVE YET TO BE INFORMED OF WHAT WILL EXACTLY HAPPEN AS FAR AS REPAIRS GO. THERE WAS SIGNIFICANT BODY DAMAGE NOT TO MENTION ANY OTHER DAMAGES THAT HAPPENED WHILE MY CAR WAS DRAGGING ON THE GROUND. I HAVE BEEN GETTING THE RUNAROUND BY THE COMPANY EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A KNOWN RECALL BY THEM. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP FROM THE NHTSA IN RESOLVING THIS MATTER IN A MORE TIMELY MATTER THEN CHRYSLER IS CURRENTLY. *AK
