I BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW, ADDED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND HAD SEVERAL THINGS GO WRONG. JUST TO NAME A FEW: ENGINE SHUT DOWN WITHOUT WARNING AND HAD TO BE REPLACED WHEN IT WAS JUST OVER THE 100,000 MILE WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH OIL CHANGES AND REGULAR MAINTENANCE WAS DONE 3-4000 MILES, TRANSMISSION PAN HAD METAL SHAVINGS IN IT WHICH RESULTED IN POOR PERFORMANCE, CONTROL ARM HAD TO BE REPLACED AFTER CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THE PROBLEM WAS THE MOTOR MOUNTS(I DID NOT NEED THE MOUNTS REPLACED AND THE REPAIR WAS NOT DONE UNDER WARRANTY), WATER PUMP & THERMOSTAT HOUSING(WAS TOLD BOTH WEREN'T COVERED AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN), REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER REPLACED AND/OR FIXED THREE TIMES, DRIVER POWER WINDOW REGULATOR REPLACED(GLASS HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE OF DAMAGE FROM THE REGULATOR, WHICH I PAID), VISOR VANITY LIGHT-PART ORDERED BUT "TOO LATE" WHEN TRIED TO HAVE IT REPLACED(WAS NOT NOTIFIED THAT PART WAS IN), DASH LIGHTS-ON & OFF, HEADLIGHTS REPLACE SEVERAL TIMES, HUB SEAL REPLACED, PASSENGER SEAT ADJUST ARM BROKEN, LIGHTER INOPERATIVE, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON FIRST MONTH I HAD THE CAR! *TR

ON 2002 CHRYSLER SEBRING CONVERTIBLE THE WIRES AND CONNECTORS FOR THE REAR WINDOW DEFROST GET PULLED OF THE REARVIEW WINDOW EVERYTIME THE TOP IS BEING LOWERED / RAISED. THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE THE CAR WAS NEW AND AT THE END OF THE SUMMER WE HAVE IT REATTACHED BY THE DEALER AT A COST OF NEARLY $100.-. THIS IS THE 4TH TIME, AND IT CANNOT BE FIXED ANYMORE WITHOUT CHANGING THE GLASS. EVEN AFTER THE GLASS WILL BE REPLACED THE SAME PROBLEM WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. THE WIRES FOR THE REAR DEFROST ARE EITHER TOO SHORT OR ROUTED WRONG. THE DEALER HAS INFORMED US THAT THEY HAVE MORE CUSTOMERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. DEALER SAYS THEY TRIED TO CONTACT CHRYSLER BUT THEY ARE UNABLE / UNWILLING TO FIND A FIX. DEALER IS TOWN & COUNTRY CHRYSLER, 13733 AURORA AVE N, SEATTLE WA, TEL# 206 365 3530. THE SILVER TEAM (JEFF) IS THE ONE THAT HAS SERVICED THE CAR AND HAS BEEN DEALING WITH THE PROBLEM. *NM

WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH DURING ICY CONDITIONS, THE CONSUMER COULD NOT SEE OUT OF THE EXTERIOR REAR VIEW MIRRORS, DUE TO ICING. THE CONSUMER WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT THE MIRRORS WERE HEATED . THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THAT THE MIRRORS WERE NOT HEATED. THE CONSUMER HAS SALES PAPERS CLAIMING THAT THE MIRRORS WERE SUPPOSE TO BE THE HEATED TYPE. *NM *NM

WINSHIELD WIPER STOPPED WHEN SWITCH TURNED TO HIGH POWER UNDER TERRIBLE CONDITIONS POURING RAIN, GOING THROUGH CONSTRUCTION SITE, NO BREAKDOWN LANE. WIPERS WERE FROZEN IN A NON-PARRALEL POSITION, SWITCH UNRESPONSIVE AND VISIBLITY WAS 0. MANAGED TO GET OFF HIGHWAY AND WAS ASSISTED BY A GENTLEMAN WHO PUSHED THE WIPER BLADES DOWN. THEN TRIED SWITCH AND IT WORKED. WIPERS HAVE WORKED SINCE AND REPAIR DEALER (CROWLEY) WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE FAILURE. CROWLEY REPLACED WIPER ARM SYSTEM BUT THEY ARE UNCLEAR AS TO WHAT HAPPENED AND CONSEQUENLT IF THE PROBLEM IS SOLVED. LACK PIECE OF MIND NOW ABOUT DRIVING AND NEEDING WIPERS AFRAID THEY MIGHT FAIL AGAIN WHEN MOST NEEDED. DT
