Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The airbag light on my 2004 Chrysler Sebring convertible came one. Taking it to the dealer, they indicated the driver's side seat belt pre-tensioner needed to be replaced. It had already been replaced once before under warranty. The dealer stated that the car was 3 months out of warranty that it would be my responsibility to replace it. When I balked, the dealer gave me the part and charged me for the labor. I followed up with Chrysler indicating that I felt this was a recurring safety related defect and as such, they should fix it for free. …”
