1995 Chrysler Sebring complaints

RIGHT FRONT TIRE SEPERATED FROM THE CAR CAUSING A LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE

RECALL 99V066003, DEALER CHECKED VEHICLE FOR THIS RECALL AND SAID THAT LOWER CONTROL ARM DID NOT NEED TO BE REPLACED. WHILE DRIVING DRIVER'S SIDE LOWER CONTROL ARM BROKE OFF, CAUSING WHEEL TO FALL OFF WHICH MAY HAVE CAUSED A CRASH. MANUFACTURER WAS NOT WILLING TO ASSIST THE CONSUMER. DEALER IS BROWNS JEEP EAGLE, PATCHOGUE NY, 631-289-8500. *AK

IN JULY 1999, THE DEALER CHECKED THE LOWER CONTROL BOOT AND THE DEALER DID NOT REPLACE THE BOOT. NOW, THE DRIVER'S LOWER CONTROL BOOT BROKE CAUSING THE WHEEL TO FALL OFF WHICH MAY HAVE CAUSE A CRASH. NHTSA RECALL 99V066033

THE ABS SYSTEM FAILED. THE COMPONENT THAT FAILED IS THE HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT. I FEEL THAT THIS COMPONENT SHOULD HAVE NOT FAILED IN SUCH A SHORT TIME OF THE LIFE OF THE CAR, AND I WOULD LIKE A REFUND ON THE REPAIR OF THIS ITEM FROM CHRYSLER. *AK

THE JOINT IN THE SEAT THAT ALLOWS THE SEAT TO ADJUST IS BOLTED TO THE INTERNAL FRAME OF THE BACK REST. THE METAL THAT THE JOINT WAS BOLTED TO FAILED. ON INSPECTION THE METAL WAS TORN APART LIKE YOU WOULD TEAR PAPER. THE BOLT THAT HAD THREE SPOT WELDS TO HOLD IT IN PLACE ON THE INTERNAL BACK SEAT FRAME WAS NO LONGER ATTATCHED.*AK

NO SUMMARY LISTED FOR ABOV EVEHICLE. *AK

THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON, I TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP AND THE REPLACED A $5.00 WIRE FOR ABOUT $150.00. THE NEXT DAY THE CAR WAS JERKING AND LOSING POWER AND THE ABS LIGHT WAS GOING ON AND OFF. I THEN TOOK IT TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP AND IT TOOK THEM ALL DAY FROM 8AM TILL 5PM TO FIND OUT IT WAS THE ABS HYDRAULIC COMPONENT FOR THE FRONT BRAKES. IT COST $1600.00 DOLLARS MORE TO FIX IT. THESE BRAKES HAVE BEEN NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS THIS CAR HAS NOW BEEN IN THE SHOP 2 TIMES FOR NEW BRAKES AND 2 TIMES FOR THE ABS. IT STILL SHAKES WHEN YOU STOP FROM SPEED FASTER THAN 30MPH! *AK

IN SEPTEMBER OF 1999, THE FRONT LEFT LOWER CONTROL ARM WAS REPLACED AS SPECIFIED IN THE RECALL NOTICE(#97V201000). IN JANUARY OF 2000, THE PROBLEM RESURFACED AND THE SAME LOW PITCH GRINDING NOISE I HEARD PRIOR TO THE RECALL FIX HAD RETURNED . I PROMPTLY RETURN THE VEHICLE TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP AND ADVISED THEM THAT I WAS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AS I HAD IN SEPTEMBER. THEY INSPECTED THE FRONT END AND ADVISED ME THAT BOTH LOWER CONTROL ARMS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I INFORMED THE SERVICE ADVISER THAT I HAD THIS PROBLEM PREVIOUSLY AND THAT AT LEAST THE LEFT LOWER CONTROL ARM HAD BEEN REPLACED ONLY A FEW MONTHS EARLY. THE SERVICE ADVISER THEN INFORMED THAT THIS PROBLEM IS NO WAY RELATED TO THE RECALL AND I WOULD BE CHARGE $1400 TO HAVE THE PROBLEM FIXED. I HAVE BEEN TO SEVERAL DEALERSHIPS BUT KNOW ONE SEEMS TO WANT TO RESOLVED THIS PROBLEM WITHOUT CHARGING ME A FORTUNE. I HAVE ALSO CALLED THE CHRYSLER RECALL HOTLINE BUT THEY WERE JUST AS BAD AS THE DEALERSHIPS. WHAT IS MY NEXT COURSE OF ACTION TO TRY AND HELP RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM? *AK

CAR WON'T START IN TEMPERTURES IN THE 30'S-IF PLUGGED IN FOR 30 MIN OR LESS-IT WILL START. IT STARTS IN REAL COLD DAYS WITHOUT BEING PLUGGED IN- I HAVE HAD IT TO DEAL THREE TIMES. EVERY TIME THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG - THIS TIME I HAD IT HOME FOR TWO WEEKS SOON IT WAS A NICE DAY - IT WON'T START, TIL I PLUGGED IT IN FOR 30 MIN. OR SO AND THAN IT WILL START RIGHT UP. I AM GETTING VERY TIRED OF THIS. SO I AM REPORTING IT TO YOU. THANK YOU WILL BE WAITING TO HEAR FROM YOU. *AK

THE SUPPORT MECHANISM THAT IS SUPPOSED TO KEEP THE TRUNK LID OPEN, SNAPPED OUT OF PLACE WITHOUT WARNING AND THE LID SLAMMED CLOSED. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD! THE LID IS VERY HEAVY AND CAN CAUSE A SERIOUS INJURY TO ANY PERSON REACHING UNDER IT TO REMOVE LUGGAGE, THE SPARE TIRE, ETC.. THIS IS MY DAUGHTER VALERIE'S FIRST CAR.

ABS BRAKE FAILURE.

THERE WAS A RECALL IN 1997 ON CHRYSLER SEBRINGS BUILT FROM JULY 1994 TO JULY 1995 FOR A LOWER CONTROL ARM DEFECT. THE FACTORY LUBRICATED BALL JOINT WOULD DRY OUT AND THE LOWER CONTROL ARM WOULD COLLAPSE. THIS HAPPENED TO MY 1995 SEBRING. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND EVEN THOUGH MY CAR WAS BUILT DURING THAT TIME THEY CLAIM THE VIN # WAS NOT ONE OF THE RECALLS THE INSURANCE COMPANY IS GOING TO REPLACE THE PART WITH A USED 96 PART, I AM AFRAID IT MY BE DEFECTIVE. ALSO, NOT THE TO MENTION THE LEFT CONTROL ARM STILL ON THE CAR AS ORIGINAL. I THINK THE LEAST THEY SHOULD DO IS ONCE THE PART IS ON MY CAR THEY SHOULD TEST THE LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE FREE OF CHARGE AND REPLACE THEM IF THEY FAIL. I ALSO SHOULD BE RE-IMBRUST FOR MY $500.00 I HAD TO PAY MY INSURANCE COMPANY, BECAUSE IF THAT PART DID FAIL, IT ALSO CAUSED THE SNAPPING OF MY HALF SHAFT ON THE LEFT SIDE. PLEASE CONTACT ME WITH SUGGESTIONS AS TO0 WHAT I CAN DO I FEEL I WILL BE DRIVING AN UNSAFE CAR UNTIL I KNOW FOR SURE WHAT HAPPENED. *AK
