I have reason to believe that the security system on my 2000 chrysler sebring lxi is malfunctioning and causing the car to not start.

If i don't lock my car it starts just fine.the dealership told me i needed a new electronic distributor.but i feel it may be the security system not allowing the car to start as it is malfunctioning.are there any other complaints of this kind out there?*ph

On 7/26/02i was coming to a stop at a traffic light and heard a thudding sound coming from somewhere below my right foot. The engine died when i came to a stop and would not start again.there were no other sounds.there was no electrical responses.my car was towed to my local firestone dealer and i was told that the pulley that moves all the electrical peripheral belts had broken off.the auxiliary belts snaped and one of them went through the plastic cover (housing) of the timing belt.they called chrysler service(powertrain care plus) and was told that they would not pay for any work so far done and should have the car taken to a chrysler dealer.the car was towed to ourisman chrysler.they tore down the engine and tried to rebuild it.too much damage was done.the called the service contract (daimler/chrysler) people who said that the damage was caused by something external to the power train and they would not pay for it.i was told by the service manager that the cost of a new engine installed would be $8,000.they said new not remanufactured.i found that out later.i shopped around and found a service group that specialized in installing remanufactured engines and they said " it would cost $4900 installed with a 3 year, unlimited mile warrenty including parts and labor".i tell this to chrysler and they say that this is impossible.they cannot get their "remanufacatured" engine for as little as that.i need your help.i have been deceived by chrysler about the engine, about how much "i" would have to pay to replace the engine and what the service contract covers.the pully that they say is not part of the power train is run off the power train to generate the electricity to run the starter for one and many other components that make the car go.i have taken very good care of my car and paid a good price for the power train protection.i should not have to pay any more because of their malfunctioning product.can you assist me?

Vehicle experiencing problem with right side caliper locking up while pulling into parking lot.dealer notified.
Left front outboard brake pad apparently sepatated from the backing plate while stopping in a parking lot. There was no advance warning noises. When completing a stop, i felt a pulse in the brake pedal.when i returned to the car and started home the brakes were grinding very bad.icontinued home slowly and the next morning pulled the wheels and brakes in the garage.the left outboard backing plate had no braking material at all.there was no residual as is usually present on a worn out pad, just the rivets and backing plate.the pads have wear indicators that hadn,t given any warning so i think it was a sudden failure.except for an early brake job i had no real damage(brake warranty is 12 months12k). Hopefully this is an isolated incident but i am notifying ntsb in case any trends develop.
The front brake inner pad came apart all at once and caused the brake pedal to feel as if it sank to the floor. A loud grinding sound was heard and we parked the vehicle. Upon investigation, i found the inner pad lining completly missing and the plate rivits gouging the disk rotor. Maybe the lining was cracked and it finally let loose? i didn't hear any of the associated "squeaking" you normally hear when disk brake pads are getting worn. The outer pad looked good. $300.00 later, i have new front brakes.
Front brake rotors are prematurely wearing,cause unknown.please give any further details.

Both front tires have gone completely flat.tire dealer stated that this is due to alloy rims contracting with the low profile tires.one was a newly replaced tire, the other tire had 11,00 miles on it.the right wheel is slightly bent, and i am told that this cannot be repaired and this could cause an incomplete seal around the bead/rim.i am currently checking tire pressure every two weeks, and most recently had pressure as low as 10 psi on rear right, and 15-25 on all others.tire dealer stated this problem is due to combination of aluminum rims and low profile tires.this appears to be quite an unsafe combination if he is correct.i cannot believe that i need to reinflate my tires every three weeks!thanks for your assistance.(tiresize: p215/50r17)

Ii took my car in to have the tires rotated and i was told i need new tires. My tires have only 20k miles and a 60k mile warranty. The tire shop called falken was given the run around for over a week by the manufacturer. I consulted online forums and checked w/several tire shops and was told that the falken ziex 912's had wear problems and that falken had cut the warranty to 40k miles and they wouldn't sell them. Consumer reports highly recommended them in 2010 which is why i bought them.many people online only had them last a few months and one lady i recall 6 months and all got no held or relief from falken.why weren't these recalled and pulled from sale?falken told the dealer i would need to buy new tires and then they'd consider maybe reimbursing me a small amount.i am disabled on a fixed income and cannot do thisand i do not trust falken or their brand. I need tires for my car now and don't know what to do.
