1996 Chrysler Sebring Convertible complaints

TIE ROD END FELL OFF CAR WHILE MOVING.*JB

THE TROTTLE STUCK ON MY 1996 CHRYSLER SEABRING. I WAS PASSING A VEHICLE AND WHEN II WENT TO BRAKE AND GET IN FRONT OF HIM I COULDN'T STOP. THE ENGINE WAS REVING AT 8000 RPMS. AND I WAS HOLDING THE BRAKES AS HARD AS I COULD AND I WAS GOING ABOUT MAYBE 60 MPH. I DID GET THE CAR TO COME TO A STOP, AFTER HAVING TO TURN 2 CORNERS VERY FAST AND GOING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION. I HAD PUT IT BACK AND FORTH FORM NURTAL & REVERSE AND WHEN THE CAR WAS SLOW ENOUGH I PUT IT IN PARK AND TURNED THE KEY OFF. I CAME CLOSE TO USING A WALL, OR A HOUSE UNDER CONSTRUCTION FOR A WAY TO STOP. I WAS EXTREAMY SCARRED AND LUCKY THAT NO ONE WAS HURT AND AT THE TIME, NO ONE HAD BEEN GOING THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. TODAY WE CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY WILL FIX THE PROBLEM, BUT WE NEED TO GET THE CAR THERE. IT IS UNSAFE TO EVEN START THE ENGINE RIGHT NOW. WE LOOKED ON LINE AND FOUND NHTSA CAMPAIGN # 02V186000.

CONSUMER STATED THE ENGINE WOULD RACE WHEN TRAVELING AT LOW SPEEDS AND AT THE SAME TIME WHEN BRAKING, ON ONE OCCASION CONSUMER WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE EVEN WITH BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKE, ALSO THERE WAS A RECALL PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE REGARDIING THE GAS LINE, HOWEVER THE PROBLEM HAS SINCE REOCCURED.*JB

WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH ACCELERATOR STUCK AND VEHICLE REVVED EVEN THOUGH CONSUMER HAD TAKEN HIS FOOT OF PEDAL, CONSUMER APPLIED BRAKES AND EMERGENCY BRAKE, HE HAD TO SHUT OFF ENGINE TO STOP VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO MECHANIC WHO DETERMINED THAT THROTTLE CABLE HAD TO BE REPLACED, IT WAS FRAYED WHICH HAD CAUSED IT TO GET STUCK. *AK

WE COMPALINED TO OUR LOCAL SERVICE DEALER, CROTON DODGE IN CROTON NY OF A WATER LEAK FROM THE CAR WASH, THE DEALER DISCOVERED THAT THE ARM SUPPORTING CONVERTIBLE ROOF HAD CRACKED COMPLETELY ALL THE WAY THROUGH. DODGE SAYS THAT BECAUSE IT IS A FRAME PROBLEM AND BECAUSE OF THE MILEAGE THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE. SINCE WHEN DOES A VEHICLE OWNER HAVE TO PROTECT HIMSELF FROM METAL FAILURE OF A CAR FRAME? ISN'T IT REASONABLE TO EXPECT A CAR FRAME TO LAST THE LIFE OF A CAR? CROTON DODGE HAS ESTIMATED THIS JOB TO COST WELL IN EXCESS OF $2500. YOUR ASSISTANCEW IS GREATKY APPRECIATED. *AK

CALLLED DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES REGARDIGNG THE FAILURE OF THE SEAT BELT. DEALER STATES NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND ESTIMATES REPAIR COSTING 60-300 TO FIX, I REQUESTED REPEATEDTLY FOR A CHRYSLER REP TO CONTACT ME RGARDING THIS PROBLEM AS I FEEL IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE BUT TO NO AVAIL. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER DIRECTLY BUT THEY WILL NOT REPAIR WITHOUT AN ESTIMATE FROM THE DEALER. DUE TO THE LACK OF RESPONSE FORM MIKE SHAD, ICONTACTED FRANK GRIFFIN CHRYLSER IN ORANGE PARK, FL BUT THEY DO NOT RETURN MY CALLS EITHER. CHRYSLER MAY OR MAY NOT REPAIR PROBLEM DEPENDENT ON ESTIMATE BUT DELAERS SEEM UNWILLING TO EVEN PROVIDE THAT. MY REFERENCE NUMBER AT CHRYSLER IS 4406161 AS I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE SINCE PURCHASE DATE. *AK
