| I bought my 2007 chrysler sebring brand new april 2007. after about a year (or less) and well under 20,000 miles the gas cap light would not go off, windshield wipers went off sporadically even in the off position, got stuck in park, fuel tank had to be replaced (which went out while i was driving), air bag light won't go off, etc. had all these problems fixed only to have many of them recur. they were all fixed under warranty. now after 36,000 miles and no warranty, the problems i have now are the windshield wipers still won't go off, my electric windows sometimes won't work at all (driver's side specifically), air bag light won't go off but occasionally when driver's seat is moved backward and forward but always returns, car will stall at times when pressing the gas pedal while driving. after the windshield wipers began going off again, took it to chrysler dealership in my town...they contacted chrysler to see if they would replace it again and they refused. all the recalls i read about that appear to pertain to my vehicle, chrysler says my vin is not a part of the recall (even though it's happening to my car too)! i will never buy another chrysler vehicle for myself, or anyone in my family again! problems with this car started early and never went away. | |||
