“I purchased a Chrysler Sebring new around march of 2007. I have taken this car back 3 times now for what has been called a motor fan they have replaced it 2 times and are now saying they can't find anything wrong. The car is making the same irritating noise it made the first 2 times they replaced this fan. It is almost a humming sound with vibration I say it sounds like I am driving a diesel and its a car.”

NHTSA complaint #10200490, filed 2007-08, 500 miles

“I bought my Sebring sedan in may of 2006 with 5 miles on it. For starters, I immediately had issues with the radio cutting out. I took it back to the dealership asap, and they claimed to have fixed it, but didn't. My second problem was my horn. It all of a sudden started sounding muffled, if it sounded at all. I called about that problem and they told me to bring it in. Which I would have, but over that weekend out of nowhere, my car stalled out on me without any kind of warning lights or gauges. …”

“Vibration felt in steering wheel while in gear at idle. You can also see steering wheel vibrating. Check engine light does not come on. Dealer does not know what causes this.”

NHTSA complaint #10260250, filed 2009-02, 25,000 miles

“This is a 2006 Sebring touring, bought with around 33,00 miles. The first night I tried this car, the check engine light came on with them saying they would fix it. It didn't come back on for months...after the warranty was up. I have had this car almost a year and it had a 30 day warranty. I took it back at least once a week for the warranty with them saying they could find nothing wrong. The brakes make rubbing noises, even though I was told they put on new brake shoes and it wobbles, even though they said they calibrated the rotors and fixed them. …”
