Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“We have two Chrysler sebrings, one is a lxi and the other is a convertible. Both are 2004 models and both of the hoses to the wiper sprayer broke at the bend where the hood closes, next to the window. They have used a plastic tube that is not flexible, and after a few hood openings, it breaks. I would think that all other sebrings would have the same problem, but when I contacted Chrysler, they just brushed me off.”
NHTSA complaint #10152640, filed 2006-03, 8,000 miles“During normal use of the car, the rear-window defroster stops working. The defroster stops working because a power wire comes disconnected as the tab attached to the glass detaches. The car is a convertible with limited vision to the rear, when the defroster doesn't work the driver's vision is limited even further. This makes driving dangerous. The tab was re-attached at the dealer.”
NHTSA complaint #10162344, filed 2006-07, 23,595 miles“2004 Chrysler Sebring has a recurring air bag problem. The air bag light warning light would come on and go off numerous times while driving. A seat belt pre-tensioner was required, but that did not resolve the air bag light problem. The A/C would only blow on the highest setting. The left front window made a creaking noise when going up or down. The thermostat and gasket were replaced due to a coolant leak. The driver side mirror was loose.”
NHTSA complaint #10129120, filed 2005-07, 11,284 miles“After driving car and leaving it parked for 2 days; when going to start it again, the horn didn't work properly (really weak!), and it wouldn't start until several attempts and giving it gas. Also......the rear right side window defrost (wire harness that is soldered to window) popped off the window without reason. When repaired at dealership, the guy said it was the 3rd one he had fixed recently and it was always on the same side of the vehicle. This could cause window to fog up. …”
