| I purchase my car in 2001 brand new. shortly after i started to notice that when i get in my car in the morning time or at night ( whenever i use the lights) it would flash from bright to dim i took it to stockburger so they could look at it but it wasn't flickering then so they couldn't do anything. and it's still doing the same thing there is this noise in the engine like a ticking sound when i start the car i took to midas for them to check it out but they said the noise was normal it doesn't sound normal. the window on the driver side doesn't always go up when its let down it stays stuck for a while then it goes up. i did have a radio problem stockburger couldn't really find the problem so they just replace the whole thing. when i drive the car the driver door constantly comes open. *jb | |||

| Starter fuse keeps blowing. started a year ago. i have gone through 25 fuses in one year. called last year, chrysler said they did not know. brought car in on october 27th, 2004. was sent home with nothing done. they did not know how to fix the problem. problem getting worse. afraid i will not have a vehicle soon. i am bringing it in on dec 17th. have done recearch and found many, many people with this problem. is this something that is designed wrong? everyone seems to have to spend $500.00 to buy a new starter to fix this problem. why can't the starter be perfect? why do we need to buy a new one in order for this problem to go away? my car is only 3 years old. here are some message boards you should review. http://www.automotiveforums.com/t199009.html http://www.allpar.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=48124&pid=366607&st=0&#entry366607 http://p207.ezboard.com/fchryslersebringconvertiblemessageboardfrm1.showmessage?topicid=425.topic http://www.carsurvey.org/review_65179.html http://www.carsurvey.org/review_64862.html http://www.carsurvey.org/viewcomments_review_54698.html http://p207.ezboard.com/fchryslersebringconvertiblemessageboardfrm12.showmessage?topicid=549.topic http://p207.ezboard.com/fchryslersebringconvertiblemessageboardfrm1.shownextmessage?topicid=889.topic thank you lisa. *ak | |||

| Very snowy conditions in killington, vermont. revving the engine to try and get traction. sparks and fumes emitted from the wiring that connects the wire to the rear defroster. eventually, the wire came detached, making the rear defroster both inoperable and a fire/health hazard. a useless rear defroster means a useless rear window. no direct backwards visibility other than the outside rearview mirrors. | |||
