I RECENTLY SAW THAT YOU ARE INVESTIGATING CHRYSLERS FOR STALLING WHILE DRIVING. I HAD THIS HAPPEN TO ME ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS IN MY 2004 CHRYSLER SEBRING CONVERTIBLE. I HAVE SINCE SOLD IT. I TOOK IT IN AND REPORTED THIS TO THE DEALER OVER 3 TIMES TO WHICH THEY SAID THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG. ONCE TIME IT STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION WHILE THE LIGHT WAS CHANGING. I WAS IN CONSTANT FEAR OF IT STALLING WHILE DRIVING. ANOTHER TIME IT STALLED WHILE I WAS GOING 15 MILES PER HOUR. IT MUST HAVE HAPPENED AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH. IT OFTEN HAPPENED AFTER REFUELING. I CAN PROVIDE YOU WITH THE VIN. I BOTH PURCHASED THE CAR AND TOOK IT HERE WITH COMPLAINTS ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS TO: DADELAND DODGE CHRYSLER JEEPMORE 16501 SOUTH DIXIE HIGHWAY MIAMI, FL 33157 (305) 278-9994 *TR

THE SEAT WARMERS OVERHEAT. WHEN DRIVING, I SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING. THE SEAT WARMERS BURNED A QUARTER-SIZE PLACE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT WHILE MY DAUGHTER WAS SITTING IN IT. SHE GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND I TURNED THE SEAT WARMERS OFF, BUT THERE IS A BLACK MARK IN THE CENTER OF THE PASSENGER SEAT AND WE CAN NO LONGER USE THE SEAT WARMER SAFELY. WHY HASN'T THE CAR MODEL BEEN RECALLED BY CHRYSLER? *TR

I HAD JUST TURNED AROUND IN A PARKING LOT WHEN THE DRIVERS SIDE LOWER BALL JOINT SEPARATED FROM THE CONTROL ARM AND THE WHEEL COLLAPSED AND THE INNER CV JOINT SEPARATED. IF I HAD BEEN TRAVELING ON THE STREET AT THE TIME, A MAJOR ACCIDENT WOULD HAVE BEEN LIKELY. ABOUT A THOUSAND MILES LATER THE PASSENGER SIDE BALL JOINT SEPARATED FROM THE CONTROL ARM JUST AS THE CAR WAS PUT INTO REVERSE. THIS TIME THE DIDN'T MOVE MORE THAN ABOUT 6 INCHES AND NO OTHER DAMAGE WAS DONE. *TR
