1998 Chrysler Sebring complaints

SEAT BELTS CONTINUALLY LOCK UP WHILE DRIVING AFTER THIRTY MINUTES, UNABLE TO FIX.

DESIGN OF THE STEERING WHEEL COLUMN IS UNCOVERED ABOVE THE GAS AND BRAKE PEDAL WHICH CAUSED FLOOR MAT THE BE STUCK RESULTING IN LOSS OF STEERING ABILITY.

THE FRONT OF THE CAR DRAGS ON EVERYTHING. NO MATTER HOW SLOW OR HOW CAREFULLY WE DRIVE, IT EITHER DRAGS OR GETS THE FRONT CAUGHT. THE FRONT BUMPER HAS BEEN DAMAGED TO THE POINT THAT IT IS ACTUALLY BROKEN IN SOME PARTS. WE WILL BE TAKING THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER NEXT WEEK TO SEE WHAT CAN BE DONE TO REPLACE THE FRONT BUMPER PANEL AND FIX THE CAR SO IT DOES NOT CONTINUE TO DRAG.

DUE TO DEFECTIVE PCV VALVE VEHICLE STALLED AND ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. ALSO PROBLEMS WITH THE BOOT FOR THE CONVERTIBLE TOP AND IGNITION. CAUSE UNKNOWN. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION. *AK

THE PASSENGER-SIDE DOOR PANEL, CALLED CLADDING, CONTINUES TO COME LOOSE. THE FIRST TIME, I HEARD A LOUD RATTLING SOUND AND HAD TO PULL OVER. THE SIDE PANEL, A VERY LARGE PLASTIC PIECE WHICH EXTENDS THE LENGTH OF THE DOOR WAS HANGING ON BY ONLY ONE PLASTIC CLIP. I TOOK THE PANEL OFF BECAUSE I WAS AFRAID THAT IT MIGHT FLY OFF AND HIT SOMEONE ELSE'S VEHICLE. I WAITED FOR APPROXIMATELY TWO MONTHS BEFORE THE PART EVEN CAME IN BECAUSE IT WAS ON A NATIONAL BACK ORDER. I AM CURIOUS TO KNOW IF THIS PART IS IN SUCH A HIGH DEMAND BECAUSE OTHER OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THE SECOND TIME, I SIMPLY CLOSED MY DOOR AND NOTICED THAT THE SIDE PANEL WAS ONCE AGAIN, BARELY HANGING ON. THE SAME PART IS STILL ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER. THIS TIME I HAD THE BODY SHOP LOOK AT THE PANEL TO SEE IF THEY COULD REPAIR THE PANEL AND THEY DID HAVE TO REMOVE THE PIECE BECAUSE THE PLASTIC CLIPS ON THIS PIECE WERE ALSO BROKEN.

CONSUMER HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE SUN ROOF LEAKING WHEN IT RAINS. THE SEALS HAVE BEEN REPLACED, BUT IT STILL LEAKS. DEALER HAS BEEN CONTACTED. *AK

VEHICLE WOULD VIBRATE WHILE DRIVING AT APPROX. 30-35 MPH,AND VIBRATES EVEN HARDER WHENEVER VEHICLE INCREASES ITS SPEED. VEHICLE WAS IN /OUT DEALER SHOP, AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE CORRECTED. *AK

WHILE DRIVING CONSUMER TRIED TO MAKE A SUDDEN STOP, PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL TO THE FLOORBOARD AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO TRAVEL. THE CONSUMER TRIED TO DEPRESS THE BRAKES AGAIN AND THE VEHICLE STOPPED. DEALER HAS BEEN CONTACTED. *AK

VEHICLE WAS PLACED IN DRIVE AND ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN TO A POINT WHERE RUBBER WAS BURNED PRIOR TO HITTING THE VEHICLE PARKED IN FRONT. THE AUTOMATIC FLOOR SHIFT WAS THEN PLACED INTO REVERSE WHERE THE VEHICLE SHOT BACKWARDS FOR APPROXIMATELY 40 FEET BEFORE HITTING ANOTHER PARKED VEHICLE, AT THAT POINT THE ENGINE WAS SHUT DOWN.

THE ABS BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. DEALER STATES DEFECT WITHIN THE RELAY. DRIVING OVER BUMPS WOULD MAKE A LOUD NOISE, VEHICLE WAS PULLING TO THE LEFT, MINOR WORK WAS DONE. ALSO, CALIPERS WERE DEFECTIVE, PARTS ORDERED, VEHICLE PROBLEMS STILL EXISTS.*AK

FLOOR MAT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE PUSHED UP UNDER THE GAS PEDAL AND BECAME ENTANGLED WITH THE STEERING COLUMN UNIVERSAL JOINTS THAT PIERCE THE FIREWALL, BINDING VEHICLE CONTROL. THE DEALER JUST REPOSITIONED THE FLOOR MAT. *AK

THE COMPLAINT IS THE OBSTRUCTION IN SEEING OUT OF THE REAR VIEW MIRROR. SPOKE TO THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE SINCE THAT IS THE DESIGN OF THE AUTOMOBILE. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT HE WOULD TURN OVER MY COMPLAINT TO ENGINEERING.

WHEN DRIVING AND TURNING THE FLOOR MAT GETS CAUGHT IN THE BOTTOM OF THE STEERING COLUMN BECAUSE THERE IS NO BOOT SURROUNDING THE STEERING COLUMN, WHICH MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN. ALSO, THE STEERING LOCKS UP. DEALER SAYS THAT IT IS JUST THE WAY IT'S MADE. *AK
