2002 Chrysler Sebring Convertible Wheels Problems

“Forced to replace all my tires once, and bring my car into ntb multiple times regarding my tires going flat despite that the car could sit in my garage all week, after speaking with ntb they said they deal with these things all the time, a Chrysler pulls in and he can tell you exactly what is wrong with it. …”

“I happily bought a new Sebring Convertible in july 2002. I bought the complete 7/70 extended warranty because I am a single woman and do not want to worry about repairs. During 2003 and 2004, I experienced frequent soft tires. During a rain storm, I hydroplaned on highway 41 and lost control. Luckily, there was no damage to anyone or the car. Only my nerves.

Each time I have the car serviced (every 3k miles) I complain that the tires leak. Dealer service dept does not find anything wrong with wheels, puts air in the tires. Car has a full size spare with same rims. When I needed to fix one of the flats and put the spare tire on,the spare was also flat.. …”

“The contact owns a 2002 Chrysler Sebring Convertible. The vehicle was parked when the contact noticed that the tires were partially deflated. The contact added air to the tires but found that the tires were exhibiting a slow leak. The tires were replaced three times but the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken to an independent repair shop where the contact was advised that the rims of the vehicle had become pitted over time and was allowing air to leak. The mechanic also advised replacing the rims. The rims were not replaced and the failure persisted. …”
