Read complaints for CHRYSLER SEBRING (1995)
My two biggest concerns are the door panels and passenger air bag. I saw the same make and model as my car yesterday and the same door panel was missing on that car also. This is a very dangerous problem. The door panel simply blew off as we were going down the road, posing a threat for others on the road. The passenger panel is loose. The passenger air bag looks as though it is about to deploy. The corners are turned up. People are afraid to ride in my front seat due to the danger the air bag could deploy. These are both safety issues. I hope you will consider a recall and replacement of door parts. Thank you.

Hood not attached properly.
The support mechanism that is supposed to keep the trunk lid open, snapped out of place without warning and the lid slammed closed. This is a serious safety hazard! the lid is very heavy and can cause a serious injury to any person reaching under it to remove luggage, the spare tire, etc.. This is my daughter valerie's first car. The first time this happened she took it to the dealer and they snapped the mechanism back in place. It came off again in a few days. On 5/16/1999 i found out that the problem was still there and told my wife and my daughter to take the car to the dealer. They went to milton ruben chevrolet on 5/19/1999 with the car and showed the problem to mr. Cal reuber - manager at the body shop department.he examined the trunk and told us that the mechanism was worn out and that new parts had to be ordered. He insructed my wife to go to the front office. A lady named michelle came outside and wrote down the serial number, the model, color, etc.. She also wrote down my daughter's name and telephone number. She said that the she would call within a week. She never did. Today, i told my daughter to call and they seem not to have any information. Again she said she would call back. Never did. I told my wife and daughter to go to the dealer personnally. There mr. Cal reuber and ms. Michelle appeared to have a hard time remembering their promisses. I am concern that delay tactics are being used with us in order to make us wait until the expiration of the service contract at 60,000 miles avoiding to pay for the repair cost. I have looked at the mechanism and it is a very poor engineering design when compared with other chrysler cars. This is a serious safety hazard! please help us preventan unnecessary serious accident!please don't hesitate to contact me for more details if necessary. Thanks, rafael l. Rivera - a concerned father.

Recall 99v066003, dealer checkedvehicle for this recall and saidthatlower control armdid not need to bereplaced.while driving driver's side lower control arm broke off, causingwheel to fall off which may have caused a crash.manufacturer was not willing to assist the consumer.dealer is browns jeep eagle, patchogue ny, 631-289-8500.
In september of 1999, the front left lower control arm was replaced as specified in the recall notice(#97v201000).in january of 2000, the problem resurfaced and the same low pitch grinding noise i heard prior to the recall fix had returned .i promptly return the vehicle to the nearest dealership and advised them that i was having the same problem as i had in september.they inspected the front end and advised me that both lower control arms needed to be replaced.i informed the service adviser that i had this problem previously and that at least the left lower control arm had been replaced only a few months early.the service adviser then informed that this problem is no way related to the recall and i would be charge $1400to have the problem fixed.i have been to several dealerships but know one seems to want to resolved this problem without charging me a fortune.i have also called the chrysler recall hotline but they were just as bad as the dealerships.what is my next course of action to try and help resolve this problem?
There was a recall in 1997 on chrysler sebrings built from july 1994 to july 1995 for a lower control arm defect. The factory lubricated ball joint would dry out and the lower control arm would collapse. This happened to my 1995 sebring. I called chrysler and even though my car was built during that time they claim the vin # was not one of the recalls the insurance company is going to replace the part with a used 96 part, i am afraid it my be defective. Also, not the to mention the left control arm still on the car as original. I think the least they should do is once the part is on my car they should test the left and right side free of charge and replace them if they fail. I also should be re-imbrust for my $500.00 i had to pay my insurance company, because if that part did fail, it also caused the snapping of my half shaft on the left side. Please contact me with suggestions as to0 what i can do i feel i will be driving an unsafe car until i know for sure what happened.

2 years ago, while driving between 5-10 mph the right lower lateral ball joint broke in two, causing $10,000.00 in body repairs, recall repairs, all to the front end of my chrysler sebring.the local dealership had my car for 3months working on my car. I never received a recall notice!!! just minutes before i was on the interstate, we would have been killed. Now 2 years later and only 18,000 miles later my car is making a noise in the wheel. I take it back to the dealership and they say it is the ball joint ,( the other side) they said it is a non serviceable , it has rust and is dry. The dealership told me my car is not safe to drive!!!!!that the wheel could fall off again!!! but the part is not defective yet!!!! when is it defective?????? when i"m killed in a wreck???????i called chrysler , they said the dealership overcharged and they will not pay anything else, the dealership says they won't fix it unless authorized by chrysler, so here i am with a car that i can not drive and a car payment and car insurance. My car only had half the recall done< the side that is making noise now was never replaced< the dealership told me i had a whole brand new front end!!!i have a car that i do not feel safe in and i can not even get it fixed under a recall notice , my car would have been cheaper to buy back than put all that money into it ($10,000) and now with only 18,000 miles fromthe first repairs , i don"t feel safe at all driving my car!!!! my car has sat for months , i need this problem resolved , i'm tired of all the run arounds and excuses , it is a safety recall!!!!!

They have had my car for over three weeks now and i have yet to be informed of what will exactly happen as far as repairs go. There was significant body damage not to mention any other damages that happened while my car was dragging on the ground. I have been getting the runaround by the company even though this is a known recall by them. I would appreciate any help from the nhtsa in resolving this matter in a more timely matter then chrysler is currently.
