I RECENTLY GOT MY CAR AND LOVE IT EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT WATER IS BUILDING UP ON THE DRIVER SIDE FLOOR BOARD IN THE FRONT. I DO NOT KNOW IF ITS THE DRAIN HOLES OR THE CONDENSATION HOSE. EITHER WAY I AM ATTEMPTING TO FIX THESE MYSELF, BUT THERE SEEMS TO BE A LARGE AMOUNT OF CHRYSLER OWNERS ON SEVERAL MODELS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. WE NEED TO GET THIS RESOLVED FOR ALL THE THOUSANDS OF CHRYSLER OWNERS HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. *JB

THIS COMPLAINT IS REGARDING THE PAINT AND CLEAR COAT USE ON THE 2001 CHRYSLER SEBRING. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW FROM A CHRYSLER DEALER. ABOUT 3 YRS AFTER THE CAR WAS PURCHASED THE CLEAR COAT AND PAINT STARTED TO CHIP AWAY,THIS HAS BEEN GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS. THE RESULT IS THAT THE TRUNK, ROOF AND HOOD OF THIS VEHICLE HAVE NO CLEAR COAT, AND IT IS NOW STARTING TO CHIP AWAY ON THE DOORS AND QUARTER PANELS. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES, THEY KEEP REFERRING US TO THE CORPORATE OFFICE. WE HAVE CONTACTED THE CORPORATE OFFICE A FEW TIMES, THEY SAY THEY WILL GET BACK TO US, AND THEY NEVER DO. ROUTINE VEHICLE MAINTENANCE WAS DONE ON THIS VEHICLE. WHAT ELSE CAN WE DO? *TR

THE PAINT ALL OVER MY CAR IS FADING AND CRACKED AND IT IS ONLY 6 YEARS OLD. I HAVE SAW OTHER CARS EXACTLY LIKE MINE THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING TO CAUSE THE PAINT TO DO THIS AND I BELIEVE THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH TOP COAT THE MANUFACTURE PUT ON. *TR

I HAVE A 2001 CHRYSLER SEBRING COUPE LXI. THE DASHBOARD ON THIS VEHICLE IS CRACKING AND BUSTING UP IN MULTIPLE PLACES. I HAVE ALWAYS USED A WINDOW COVER, AND KEPT IT CONDITIONED WITH PRODUCTS THAT SPECIFICALLY INDICATE THAT THEY WILL NOT CAUSE DRYING OR CRACKING. THE DASHBOARD HAS NO OTHER SIGNS OF DAMAGED CAUSED BY THE SUN. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND APPARENTLY THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM WITH THE CHRYSLER / DODGE PRODUCTS. CHRYSLER REFUSES TO FIX THE PROBLEMS EVEN THOUGH THEIR IS CLEARLY A HUGE PROBLEM. PLEASE REFER TO THIS LINK HTTP://WWW.TOPIX.NET/FORUM/NEWS/OPINION/TP9NB9FAIDRD6V3RG CLEARLY WE EXPECT THIS SORT OF PROBLEM IN VEHICLES APPROACHING TEN YEARS OR MORE, BUT I HARDLY THINK LESS THAN A FIVE YEAR DURABILITY EXPECTANCY IN A DASHBOARD IS REASONABLE. ADDITIONALLY, ONCE THE INTEGRITY OF THE DASHBOARD HAS BEEN COMPROMISED IT BECOMES A SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO EXPOSED WIRING AND INSULATION. *AK
