“I have a 1999 Chrysler sebring which has had the ball joint come out of both sides of the vehicle of the front 2 wheels about 6 months apart. This has caused damage to my vehicle which I have repaired. I am very concerned about my safety and the safety of my family because this last time I was about a mile away from getting on the highway, which could have been deadly. I feel that this is a safety issue and wonder about recalls and if I should be reimbursed. The tow to my home was $106, the tow to the mechanic was $65 and the mechanic bill was $303. This is just the drivers side. …”

NHTSA complaint #10224546, filed 2008-04, 72,179 miles“My trunk falls down with out any warning. Hurts when your head is under it. The fuel light keeps going off and on even when full. The back window came unglued, I was told that I have to purchase a new window and have it installed with a upholstery person, price quotes are 680-780 dollars nothing is wrong with the window seems like such a waste.”
NHTSA complaint #10158280, filed 2006-05“Driver side seat belt failure on our 1999 Chrysler Sebring Convertible jxi. The seat belt locking mechanism fails to lock over time. The plastic locking clip inside the locking clip will break (did break) with continuous use. The dealer wants $100.00 + for the part. If Chrysler used a stainless steel locking we would have this problem. Also the transmission sensors have a limited life. After driving for 30 minutes or more during low deceleration and low acceleration the transmission bucks and or slips. …”
