TRIED TO STOP APPROX. 1 MONTH AGO AND FIRST APPLIED BARKES, WENT TO FLOOR. I RELEASED THEM AND APPLIED THEM A SECOND TIME AND THEY STOPPED ME BUT TO AVOID A REAREND ACCIDENT, I VEERED MY CAR TO THE SHOULDER. I CONTACTED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF TUPELO AUTO SALES THEY ASKED ME WHERE THE CAR WAS. I TOLD THEM THAT IT ONLY FAILED THE ONE TIME SO I WAS JUST CAUTIOUS AS I DROVE ON INTO WORK. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WOULD BE HARD TO FIND UNTIL IT MESSED UP MORE OFTEN SO THEY COULD SEE THE PROBLEM. I HAD NO MORE PROBLEMS UNTIL DEC. 5TH ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK..I STARTED HEARING A CLANKING SOUND THAT SOUNDED LIKE I WAS HAVING A FLAT TIRE SO I PULLED OVER TO CHECK. THE TIRES APPEARED TO BE FINE. I WAS ONLY A MILE OR SO FROM HOME SO I DROVE ON HOME. ONCE HOME, I INSPECTED THE UNDERSIDE OF THE CAR AND THE WHEELS BUT COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING DIFFERENT. THE FOLLOWING MORNING, WHEN I LEFT HOME, THE CAR SEEMED OK. ONCE I ARRIVED AT MY FIRST STOP SIGN WHICH IS AT THE BOTTOM OF A HILL, I APPLIED MY BRAKES AND AGAIN THEY WENT TO THE FLOOR. THE SECOND TIME I APPLIED THEM, THEY CAUGHT AND I STOPPED. I TURNED ONTO THE HIGHWAY AND TRAVELLED ABOUT 150 FEET AND THE FRONT (SEEMING) LOCKED UP SIMILAR TO THE WAY IT DOES WHEN YOU PLACE A CAR IN PARK AND CUT OFF THE KEY. I WAS HEADED TO THE RIGHT ONTO THE SOFT SHOULDER OF THE ROAD AND WAS FIGHTING THE CAR BECAUSE I WAS HEADED FOR THE DITCH AND AN ELECTRICAL GENERATOR ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE STEERING OR BRAKES (?) BROKE LOOSE, SENDING ME INTO AN ONCOMING PICKUP, THE PICKUP HIT THE FRONT OF MY CAR, THEN THE TRUCK HIT A VAN WHICH WAS FOLLOWING ME. MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, MY STEERING LOCKED AND MY BRAKES FAILED, ALL WITHIN 1 1/2 MILES OF MY HOUSE. CHRYSLER HAS SENT AN INVESTIGATOR TO LOOK AT THE CAR TODAY, BUT EVEN HE SAID THAT IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO FIND A PROBLEM THAT ONLY HAPPENS PERIODICALLY. NOW, EVEN IF THE CAR IS REPAIRED, I AM AFRAID THAT I WILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. I HAD NO BLEMISH ON MY DRIVING RECORD. *AK

VEHICLE WAS PARKED TO LOWER CONVERTIBLE TOP, WHILE CONVERTIBLE TOP WAS BEING LOWERED REAR WINDOW HAD SHATTERED UNEXPECTEDLY. CONTACTED SERVICE MANAGER, AND WAS INFORMED THAT WINDOW WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. *AK

TRAVELING ON I 95 SOUTH IN THE CITY OF JACKSONVILLE FL - GAS PEDAL STUCK WHILE AT A SPEED OF 65 AND BEGAN INCREASING, IT WAS NECESSARY TO USE BRAKE WITH ALL THE FORCE THAT WAS POSSIBLE TO CONTROL THE CAR - IT WAS AT LEAST 2 MILES UNTIL WE COULD EXIT THE FREEWAY - THIS WAS DOWNTOWN AND IN AN AREA OF CONSTRUCTION OVER A NEW BRIDGE - THERE WAS NOT THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEAVE THE ROAD, PLACE THE CAR IN NEUTRAL OR DO ANYTHING BUT RIDE THE BRAKES UNTIL WE COULD EXIT, WEST SIDE DODGE IN JACKSONVILLE EXAMINED THE CAR THE MORNING OF 9/17 AND FOUND A PLASTIC CAP THAT WAS USED TO COVER A SENSOR HAD NOT BEEN DISCARDED AND HAD FOUND ITS' WAY TO THE LINKAGE. WE ARE ASKING THE DEALER HERE IN SOUTH CAROLINA TO REPLACE THE ROTERS AND PADS - IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE THAT I SHOULD BE CONCERNED WITH? THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONCERN.

STEERING RACK MAKES CLANKING/RATTLING NOISE WHEN TURNING OVER ROUGH PAVEMENT. CAN BE FELT THROUGH STEERING COLUMN. SERVICE TECHNICIANS AT DEALER HEARD NOISE BUT COULD NOT INITIALLY IDENTIFY IT. THEY DROVE 4 OTHER 2001 SEBRING SEDANS AND HEARD SAME NOISE. CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND WERE TOLD IT WAS STEERING RACK. I WROTE LETTER TO CHRYSLER AND WAS TOLD THAT NOISE IS A "CHARACTERISTIC OF THE CAR." I AM VERY CONCERNED SINCE STEERING IS INVOLVED. WOULD LIKE THIS PROBLEM FIXED AND NOT TOLD "THEY ALL DO IT."

WHEN WEATHER IS HOT VEHICLE STARTS MAKING A CREAKING NOISE. ALSO, IT SOUNDS AS THOUGH NOISE IS IN STRUCTURE OF VEHICLE.*AK CONSUMER STATES SOUND HAS BEEN PRESENT IN VEHICLE SINCE DAY ONE, DEALER HAS REPLACED THE FRONT AND REAR SWAY BAR LINK, BOTH BUSHINGS, LEFT BALL JOINT, STEERING GEAR, DIFFERENTIAL/TRANSAXLE, AND NOW DEALER FEELS THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE EXHAUST PIPE, WHILE DRIVING CONSUMER WOULD MAKE FREQUENT STOP AND GO MOTIONS WHICH WOULD MAKE THE NOISE EVEN WORSE, CONSUMER THINKS THE PROBLEM SEEMED TO BE EXPANDING STEEL WHEN VEHICLE WAS HOT, DEALER LISTENED TO THE NOISE THROUGH HEADPHONES AND STATED THE NOISE WAS NOT COMING FROM THE SUSPENSION, SINCE DEALER CAN NOT FIX PROBLEM, CONSUMER HAS DECIDED TO GO THROUGH ARBITRATION. WHEN AIR CONDITIONER IS ON A LOUD HUMMING NOISE CAN BE HEARD THROUGH THE VENTS. *SLC

RADIO CD PLYER FAILED. *AK

THE GRAY COATING TO THE AIR BAG COVER STARTED PEELING TWO MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR. I BROUGHT IT IN TO GET FIXED AND THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE WRONG PART. THE PERSON WHO REPLACED THE WRONG PART DAMAGED THAT PART (STEERING WHEEL) AND THEY HAD TO REPLACE BOTH PARTS AGAIN. I FINALLY GOT BOTH PARTS REPLACED 8/01 AND THE AIR BAG STARTED PEELING AGAIN THREE WEEKS LATER. THERE IS AN OBVIOUS DEFECT IN THE MATERIAL.
