2001 Chrysler Sebring Convertible Electrical system Problems

“Starter fuse keeps blowing. Started a year ago. I have gone through 25 fuses in one year. Called last year, Chrysler said they did not know. Brought car in on october 27th, 2004. Was sent home with nothing done. They did not know how to fix the problem. Problem getting worse. Afraid I will not have a vehicle soon. I am bringing it in on dec 17th. Have done recearch and found many, many people with this problem. Is this something that is designed wrong? Everyone seems to have to spend $500.00 to buy a new starter to fix this problem. Why can't the starter be perfect? …”

“The engine stalled, due to sludge build up. The consumer was driving when the engine started to knock and slowed down. The consumer was told the engine had blown up due to the build up. There was no warning. The vehicle had electrical problems since purchase, but had not been fixed. The interior lights had constantly come on. …”

“I purchase my car in 2001 brand new. Shortly after I started to notice that when I get in my car in the morning time or at night ( whenever I use the lights) it would flash from bright to dim I took it to stockburger so they could look at it but it wasn't flickering then so they couldn't do anything. And it's still doing the same thing there is this noise in the engine like a ticking sound when I start the car I took to midas for them to check it out but they said the noise was normal it doesn't sound normal. …”

“Very snowy conditions in killington, vermont. Revving the engine to try and get traction. Sparks and fumes emitted from the wiring that connects the wire to the rear defroster. Eventually, the wire came detached, making the rear defroster both inoperable and a fire/health hazard. A useless rear defroster means a useless rear window. No direct backwards visibility other than the outside rearview mirrors.”

“Consumer noticed a deep scratch on the wood paneling. (nar) while lowering the convertible top the vehicle's rear windshield shattered. The brakes squealed and had to be replaced at 12000 miles. The vehicle had various electrical malfunctions. When the vehicle was started the speedometer would bounce from 0 - 120 MPH. The dealer was never able to rectify this problem. The radio, cd player and speakers were replaced several times. While driving the vehicle shut down with no warning. The vehicle was towed to the dealer who informed the consumer that the engine had blown.”
