*WHAT HAPPENED? USE AS MUCH SPACE AS YOU NEED. WE OWN THIS 2004 CHRYSLER SEBRING AS WE PURCHASED IT NEW IN THE FALL OF 2004 FROM WESTBORN CHRYSLER IN DEARBORN. IN THE SPRING OF 2005 WE TOOK A TRIP TO FLORIDA, AND AS WE WERE GETTING OFF THE FREEWAY, AT THE FIRST STOP LIGHT, THE CAR WAS JERKING TO THE POINT THAT IF WE DID NOT PUT IT IN PARK IT WOULD HIT THE GAR IN FRONT, THEN IT STOPPED. IT STOPPED SEVERAL TIMES IN THAT TRIP. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER; THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. WE DROVE THE CAR SHORT DISTANCES SINCE, BUT RECENTLY STARTED TO DRIVE ABOUT 20 MILES ONE WAY, WHEN IT STARTED TO HAVE THE SAME SYMPTOMS. WE EXPERIENCE SEVERAL CASES OF SUDDEN STALLING, JERKING AND SUDDEN STOPS WHEN TURNING. IT HAPPENS WHEN HAVE TO STOP AFTER A HIGHWAY DRIVE. IN ONE INSTANCE IT ALMOST HIT OUR HOUSE. WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AGAIN AND WERE TOLD THAT THE RIGHT DOWNSTREAM O2 SENSOR, AND THE HARNESS CONNECTOR HAVE TO BE REPLACED AND THE FUEL INJECTOR NEEDS TO BE SERVICED. ALSO THE POWER STEERING PUMP IS NOISY. CHRYSLER WOULD PAY FOR THE PARTS, BUT WE WOULD HAVE TO PICK UP THE LABOR COST OF $1,103, BECAUSE THE CAR HAS 47,000 MILES, IT IS SO FAR SINCE THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. THEY CLAIM THIS IS NOT COVERED BY THE 70,000 MILES OR 7 YEARS WARRANTY. IT IS THE ENGINE AND/OR TRANSMISSION THAT ARE MALFUNCTIONING, BUT THEY TRY TO FIND DIFFERENT THINGS TO GIVE ME THE RUN AROUND AND NOT TO COVER THE EXPENSES. AFTER ALL, T REALLY THING THAT THIS WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM, THIS IS ONLY THE EFFECT OF A DIFFERENT CAUSE, THAT IS NOT EVEN FOUND. 2. ANOTHER ISSUE IS THAT ONCE IT RAINS, THE CARPET ON THE DRIVER SIDE IS ALWAYS WET. 3. A THIRD ISSUE, WE HAD TO REPLACE THE BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR. ALL COMMON PROBLEMS WITH THESE CARS, AS I READ COMPLAINTS. WHY ISN'T CHRYSLER STEPPING UP AND FIXING THESE PROBLEMS? *TR
