Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“I just bought a 2006 Sebring convertible touring edition, I had driven to work 23 freeway miles. I noticed there was a lot of wind noise with the top up. I checked to make sure it was latched properly. On the way home I had the same wind noise(it was a windy day) after 20 miles on the freeway at 65 MPH in rush hour traffic, the top gave way & blew back. You can see where the latch scraped. I almost had an accident in rush hour traffic. I think their is a seal defect. The dealer claims I was at fault,and it was not latched properly. The car had been purchased 4/27/06.”

“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. …”
