“On may 17,2010 while driving to college, I noticed a loud whining rough sound, and every time I hit a bump it would sound like something was loose coming from my tires. Before, I could stop to see what the problem was, my steering wheel locked and my car ran off the road when I attempted to regain control my Sebring over corrected and entered a counterclockwise spin.

Once the radio was replaced the interior lights no longer blinked. …”

I assumed I would have to have the spot repainted. This winter, approximately 3/4 of the roof down to and including part of the trunk and rear fenders are experiencing the same wearing away of paint that the roof has. …”

“The problem is with the sound system. Specifically, the problem appears to be related to the bass sound. Whenever the radio or cd is on, there is a horrible buzzing/droning noise accompanied by a vibration in the speaker panel on the doors. It is unbearable.”
