| 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 | |||

| Driving north on i-75 i lost control over my 2002 chrysler sebring convertible - the car veered left crossed one lane and hit the median concrete divider. 2 failures were the brakes and the steering became unresponsive as i was unable to apply the brakes and unable to steer the car. there was no skid marks reported by the police report. the driver airbag ripped and did not successfully blow. the passenger airbag deployed properly. i suspect that the main cause cause of this accident was the lack of steering, which caused the car to veer left and hit the center concrete divider. the car is currently in storage in royal oak, michigan and is a total loss.*ak | |||
