2001 Chrysler Sebring Convertible Body and structure Problems

“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. …”

“When opening and closing the top, often times the sides of the top fold underneath the rear window. This causes a crease which makes it more likely to occur again. When folded under the top often leaks in the rain. When manually pulled out into it's rightful place, the portion of the top pulled out becomes ruffled and unsightly. Damages were caused to the rear window defroster. On one side, the wire connected to the electronic defroster was broken off. Also, the top has torn loose from the bottom window over halfway across the window. …”

“One evening while trying to exit my car, the driver's side door would not open from the inside. I took the car to the dealer, who had to order the part. This part has been on back order since july 19, 2007. As of dec. 10, 2007, Chrysler says that there is not estimated delivery date for the part. No dealer anywhere has this part, so basically it doesn't exist. I still cannot open my driver's side door from the inside.”

“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. …”

“The chrome plate on the interior door handle has split . This has caused me to cut my finger on several occasions when opening the door. I have asked two dealers to repair the handle. I am told that it will cost in excess of $500.00 to replace the entire door panel. I find it difficult to believe this expense to replace a $10-15.00 part. It was a defect in the production of the handle, not abuse, that has created this situation. I was in touch with customer disservice on one occasion, but they have not returned any of my calls since.”
