RENTED CAR WITH DANGEROUS BRAKES SYSTEM ( POOR REPAIR ). *TR

I HAVE TWO COMPLAINTS. I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY PROCEEDING AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MIPH AND THE CAR TURNED OFF. NO WARNING, JUST DEAD. SECOND COMPLAINT: I FILLED UP WITH GAS. I PROCEEDED TO LEAVE THE STATION WHICH INVOLVED EXITING AND TURNING ONTO A MAIN HIGHWAY. I TRIED TO STOP AT THE TOP OF THE EXIT DRIVEWAY AND I HAD NO POWER BRAKES. I PUSHED HARD ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE CAR STOPPED. *TR

MY 2008 CHRYSLER CONVERTIBLE CLOTH TOP HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR 3 WEEKS AS OF TODAY. THE TRUNK LID WON'T GO DOWN. THE TOWING COMPANY WOULD NOT EVEN TOW IT BECAUSE IT WOULD DAMAGE THE CAR FURTHER. CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID THEY HAD SEVERAL COMPLAINTS AND THAT THEY WERE "TOOLING" THE TOP. *TR

CHRYSLER SEBRING HARDTOP COVERTIBLE. I CAN ACTIVATE THE HARDTOP TO RAISE OR LOWER WHEN IN DRIVE. THIS TO ME COULD BE A BIG SAFETY ISSUE. IF II'M DRIVING AND SOME HOW THIS CONTROL IS ACTIVATED IT'LL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. IT HASN'T HAPPEN TO ME YET HAS IT HAPPEN OTHERS? *TR

I PURCHASED A NEW 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING HARDTOP CONVERTIBLE IN OCTOBER OF 2007 AND I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE CONVERTIBLE TOP AND DOOR LOCKS. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE SHOP SEVERAL TIMES REGARDING THIS MATTER AND THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO SATISFIED ME REGARDING MY CAR. *TR

THE 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING CONVERTIBLE THAT I HAD WOULD JUST SHUT OFF ON ME WHEN I WAS DRIVING OR IF I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT. I WAS NOT HARD ON THE CAR AND I DROVE IT REGULAR. ONE DAY I WAS STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF LUNCH HOUR TRAFFIC AND THE LIGHT WAS RED, I WENT TO PUSH THE GAS AND REALIZED THE CAR HAD SHUT OFF ON ME. IT DIDN'T SEEM LIKE IT STALLED BECAUSE IF A CAR USUALLY STALLS IT WOULD SHAKE OR SOMETHING. THE CAR JUST TURNED OFF AT THE RED LIGHT AND WHEN THE LIGHT WENT GREEN I COULDN'T GO. I WAS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND HAD TO HAVE PEOPLE GO AROUND ME. I DIDN'T KNOW IF I PUT THE CAR IN PARK I COULD GO AGAIN. I DIDN'T EXPECT IT TO JUST SHUT OFF ON ME IN THE FIRST PLACE IT WAS A NEWER CAR. IT HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN ONCE. I AM JUST THANKFUL ONE OF THE OTHER TIMES I WAS IN A PARKING LOT WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR. *TR

LIFE THREATENING SAFETY ISSUE TO MY 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING CONVERTIBLE. APPROX 2-3 MOS AGO WHILE DRIVING THE ENGINE CUT OFF WITHOUT ANY WARNING WHAT SO EVER. 3 WEEKS AGO (FROM 15JAN09) THIS HAPPENED WHILE ON I-95. WHEN THIS HAPPENS YOU CAN NOT STEER OR USE BRAKES. THE CAR COASTED IN THE DIRECTION THAT IS WAS STEERING IN. THIS LEAD MY CAR HALF IN THE GRASS AND HALF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LANE. AGAIN, NO WARNING OF ANYKIND. THIS MONDAY (12JAN09) IT HAPPENED WHILE I HAD MY KIDS IN THE CAR, I WAS ABOUT TO TURN WHEN THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN AGAIN. THIS WAS A REALITY CHECK SINCE MY KIDS COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED (LUCKILY NO ONE WAS COMING).I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND TWICE THEY HAVE RUN DIAGNOSTICS,LOOKED IT OVER THOROUGHLY,AND DRIVEN THE CAR TWICE WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. TODAY THEY HAVE TOLD ME THEY HAVE TALKED TO THE CHRYSLER ENGINEERS WHO STATED THEY HAVE HEARD OF THE PROBLEM BUT HAVE NO SOLUTION. I HAVE FOUND MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS AS MINE OFF THE INTERNET DATED AS FAR BACK AS APRIL 2008. I HAVE CALLED CHRYSLER'S CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBER TWICE AS WELL. THIS HAS BEEN NO HELP AT ALL. TODAY,AFTER TELLING THEM WHAT WAS TOLD TO ME BY THE TECHNICIANS,THEY SAID THEY WOULD FORWARD MY CASE ON AND I WOULD HERE BACK FROM SOMEONE IN TWO-FOUR BUSINESS DAYS. IN THE MEANTIME, I AM TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE MY CAR.I JUST CAN NOT BELIEVE THAT CHRYSLER WOULD KNOWINGLY PUT SOMEONE IN A LIFE THREATENING SITUATION.I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO BUT I NEED YOUR HELP. IN THE MEANTIME I AM I

WITHIN 5 MINUTES OF TURNING OFF AND LOCKING CAR, ENGINE COMPARTMENT WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES. 2008 SEBRING LIMITED CCONVERTIBLE WITH 11,800 MILES. DEALER SERVICE-LUBE/OIL/FILTER- 7/25/08. *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

I HAVE A 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING CONVERTIBLE LIMITED WITH A CLOTH TOP. THE TOP MECHANISM IS DEFECTIVE AS I JUST HAD TO HAVE THE TOP REPAIRED FOR THE THIRD TIME. IT SEEMS THAT EACH TIME ONE OR ANOTHER MECHANISM HAS FAILED. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AS THE TOP USUALLY FAILS HALF WAY UP AND HAS TO BE TOWED IN. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THIS IS A FREQUENT DEFECT ON THESE NEW CARS. *TR
