“1998 Chrysler Sebring Convertible: brake work. After having my brakes repaired three times I now hear there is a problem with the master cylinder. I just replaced it as well as the rotars a second time. Rear window defroster has separated from the glass just as listed on your problems.”
NHTSA complaint #10021406, filed 2003-06, 35,000 miles“This complaint is the same as the one filed on march 12th of 01. Premature brake wear. On my make and model Chrysler sebring conv. There are no wear sensors on the inside brake pads. Only on the outside do they have the required hardware to detect brake wear. On my car the right inside brake pad always wears out first. I have had to completely replace my brakes at almost the exact same mileage as the first time. I have documentation if required to verify complaint if necessary. Thank you for your attention to this complaint.”
