THE NOTICE STATED THAT CHRYSLER WORLD REPLACE THE PART FREE OF CHARGE FOR MY CAR. THE LAST TIME I BROUGHT MY CAR IN, THE DEALER HANDED ME A QOUTE FOR $276.

TIRES, WHEELS
SINCE PURCHASING MY SEBRING IN MAY '98 I HAVE HAD 6 FLAT TIRES. I HAVE NEVER HAD A FLAT BEFORE. AFTER SPEAKING WITH OTHER SEBRING OWNERS IT SEEMS THERE COULD BE A FAULT IN THE SOFT ALUMINUM WHEELS. I HAVE JUST HAD MY SECOND FLAT IN THE PAST 2 WEEKS AND AM AFRAID TO GET INTO THE CAR. THIS IS HAPPENING ON 3 OF MY WHEELS,NOT JUST THE SAME ONE. USUALLY IT IS A SLOW LEAK. I WORK FOR THE AIRLINES AND I AM OUT OF THE COUNTRY QUITE A BIT. THIS MAKES IT EVEN MORE STRANGE AS I PROBABLY DRIVE HALF THE MILES OF ANYONE ELSE. SINCE PURCHASING THE CAR FROM ANOTHER PERSON IN MAY '98 I HAVE DRIVEN ONLY 15,000 MILES. WHAT SHOULD I DO? THANKS.*AK (DOT NUMBER: ? TIRESIZE: OEP215/50R)

STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS
THE CAR IS DESIGNED SO THAT ANY SPEED BUMP, DRIVEWAY,OR PARKING LOT BLOCK CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE FRONT OF THIS CAR. IT IS ABOUT HALF THE DISTANCE FROM THE GROUND AS ANY OTHER CAR AND THE FIBERGLASS BODY SPLITS AND MUST BE REPAIRED FOR HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS. THIS IS NOT NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. I KNOW THAT WHEN I SEE AN ELEVATED DRIVE AHEAD OF ME, I MUST SLOW DOWN TO 3 MILES AN HOUR AND ENTER AT A DIAGONAL SO AS NOT TO HEAR THAT SCRAPING SOUND*AK.
