| I am so disgusted. i will never buy another chrysler vehicle, nor will i encourage anyone else to do so. i purchased a 1998 chrysler sebring lxi on 6/29/2000. since that time i have had the following problems: key won't work in trunk all the time. lack of air bag deployment - 2 different incidents (reported in a previous complaint) passenger side seat belt will open if you just push against it - i have taken the vehicle to the certified service agent (over a year ago) who was supposed to order the part and contact me when it arrived. he never did and now that dealership is not the service agent anymore.*ak driver's side seatbelt twists inside the covered area attached to the interior wall of the vehicle. high-pitched whining sound coming from front driver's side tire area. have replaced rotors twice. have had to purchase those expensive ($600 - $800) goodyear tires about 4 - 6 times. one day, about 18 months ago, i was on the highway driving to work, going uphill and my car just slowly died. all the lights went out, i could not give it any gas, i could barely steer it and it just rolled to a stop. i kept trying to crank it and nothing happened. i was still partly in the road, so i put it in neutral and tried to back it onto the shoulder. after doing that, i tried to crank it again and it started right up. i drove it to a garage nearby, but they could find nothing wrong. hesitation when going from park to drive. more complaints are being submitted in a subsequent form. | |||
