“2008 Chrysler sebring convertible top not working properly. Top is getting stuck half way when lowering. Took it to dealership and they would not repair. Accused me of damaging and wanted to charge me $700 to repair. I refused to pay it and have not been able to use the top. Lease is now up and I am afraid they are going to come after me for the cost.”
NHTSA complaint #10407785, filed 2011-06, 37,784 miles“I was in the process of entering a highway from a driveway. I hit the gas pedal and the car took off uncontrollably across the highway, across lanes of traffic, went up an embankment and then back down where the car shut off. I had not driven the car since the accident, but when I picked up the vehicle at the dealership where the convertible roof had been worked on, I noticed the electronic throttle indicator light was on . This may the reason it accelerated uncontrollably.”

NHTSA complaint #10280709, filed 2009-08, 5,000 miles“Just imagine driving down the street at approximately 25-30mph and your hood flies up against the windshield. Fortunately for me the person behind be was alert and did not plow into the rear of me. I phoned the insurance company immediately, and I was advised to take the car to a recommended collision center which repaired my car pretty quickly....too quickly I suppose because when I called the Chrysler, llc office they special investigator said in error that there was nothing that they could do because the evidence was destroyed. …”
NHTSA complaint #10408688, filed 2011-06, 57,193 miles“The convertible top would stop half way in the process of going down. We found that in the trunk there is a small plastic piece at the end of the compartment hinge that cradles the top was missing. We were able to buy a bolt metal piece similar to plastic and use weld glue to adhere it. Secondly, that problem caused the plastic flap that is under the window in the interior to break which needed to be replaced and third, the interior roof panels came unglued exposing all the components that works the convertible top. We had to reglue and repair panel.”
