1996 Chrysler Sebring Brakes Problems

“On the engine I had the pulley on the timing belt come apart and just last month I had the head gasket start to leak from the back. Timing belt 28,000 head gasket 37,500. I have had to replace all 4 tires that where on the car. All by 29,000 miles--some earlier and then later. The brakes were replaces at the same time as the timing belt pulley. I knew they needed replacement and had an appointment to get them replaced when the timeing belt went out. It is a 1996 but I only have 37,500 miles.”

“When applying brakes on dry pavement at 40 MPH, vehicle vibrates, vehicle swerves and the brake pedal gets hard. Took to dealer and dealer stated there is a short in the left front solenoid circuit. Ts”

“After replacing head gasket, I now have rust deposits in the radiator fluid. The window in back falls with a thump when put down, and the brakes constantly squeak. My dealer told me there was a national back order on head gasket replacement parts, and that he had a whole parking lot waiting to be repaired.”

“Brakes failed 7 months after dealer installed new brake booster vacuum hose as result of a chyrsler recall. When brakes failed front bumper struck the rear bumper of a jeep. While traveling at approx. 10 MPH, the jeep only experienced minor damage. Within seconds of collision, the engine of my vehicle caught fire - resulting in a total loss of my vehicle. Believe this is due to manufacturer defects.”

“Before I bought this car in march 97, the dealer promised to fix the brake problem (warped rotor-made the car come to a pulsating stop). They ground the rotors down before I bought the vehicle. Then in may 97, the rotors warped again and the dealer replaced the rotors. Then in jan 98, the rotors warped again, but the dealer said he could not find any problem . But of course there was a problem because it kept getting worse and worse so I took the car in again and the dealer replaced the rotors again in may 98. …”
