| While driving on the highway, the word deck appeared on the dashboard. then a series of numbers appeared, along with a beeping sound. before i could pull over, the steering and brakes locked up and i went into a 360 degree spin. i had no control of the car. the chrysler final came to a stop on its own. chrysler has refused to investigate the mechanical aspects of the car and so the car is totaled. i have since met others who have had similar experience but traded the car before they were injured. this was a definite mechanical failure that i was able to survive and others around me. chrysler should check this out. *tr | |||

| I bought the car brand new, added the extended warranty and had several things go wrong. just to name a few: engine shut down without warning and had to be replaced when it was just over the 100,000 mile warranty even though oil changes and regular maintenance was done 3-4000 miles, transmission pan had metal shavings in it which resulted in poor performance, control arm had to be replaced after chrysler dealership told me the problem was the motor mounts(i did not need the mounts replaced and the repair was not done under warranty), water pump & thermostat housing(was told both weren't covered and should have been), rear window defroster replaced and/or fixed three times, driver power window regulator replaced(glass had to be replaced because of damage from the regulator, which i paid), visor vanity light-part ordered but too late when tried to have it replaced(was not notified that part was in), dash lights-on & off, headlights replace several times, hub seal replaced, passenger seat adjust arm broken, lighter inoperative, check engine light on first month i had the car! *tr | |||

| My chrysler sebring gtc, with standard transmission, without warning would not allow me to shift the car. i had to come to a stop on a busy street. the car would not let me shift to any gear, it was still running. this was caused my the failure of a disc modular (electrical device) part number spd 05062200aa. it does not make since that this electrical part failure would make the car inoperative. this is not safe. this could have happen driving at a higher speed. i was in town on rt. 7 in slower traffic when it happened. i could see the check engine light coming on with the failure of this part, but not the car being totally inoperative the car had less than 3,500 miles of use when this happened.*jb | |||

| I have leased my 2002 sebring convertiable lxi on sept 9, 2002 since then the car has been back for numerous times. beginning not even 3 months and 500 miles into lease. i started having problems with it. electrical (air bag light, altertator light, engine light, driver side heated seat), transmission has recently had been serviced and parts have been replaced, i have been telling chrysler (dealership) since about 500 miles and they told me it wasn't anything, they recently replaced a couple of things at about 26,866. i was having and still having trouble with the ignition key not coming out of the ignition on my last service (march 04) they've replaced the ignition collar. i have tried to return or trade in for a new chrysler car but they say since i am in a lease there's nothing i could do about it. the air bag light is still coming on every 10 seconds since my last service march 04 but they say nothing is wrong. from what i understand correctly there's two things that could happen 1. air bag will not deplote if i was in an accident and 2. it could deplote at any given time while i'm driving. so needless to say i do not feel safe driving this car. the dealership doesn't seem to care. can you help me . *ak | |||

| Approximately a month after i purchased the car new, i was driving home from work very late at night, my lights went out about 4 or 5 times. they would come right back on when i hit the dimmer switch, but it was really frightening. i took the car back to the dealer and they found a loose wire in the steering column. now, 2 years later, may 2005, on the way home from work at 2a.m. my lights went out two times and came back on when i hit the dimmer switch. | |||
