1998 Chrysler Sebring service brakes, hydraulic problems

“THIS COMPLAINT IS THE SAME AS THE ONE FILED ON MARCH 12TH OF 01. PREMATURE BRAKE WEAR. ON MY MAKE AND MODEL CHRYSLER SEBRING CONV. THERE ARE NO WEAR SENSORS ON THE INSIDE BRAKE PADS. ONLY ON THE OUTSIDE DO THEY HAVE THE REQUIRED HARDWARE TO DETECT BRAKE WEAR. ON MY CAR THE RIGHT INSIDE BRAKE PAD ALWAYS WEARS OUT FIRST. I HAVE HAD TO COMPLETELY REPLACE MY BRAKES AT ALMOST THE EXACT SAME MILEAGE AS THE FIRST TIME. I HAVE DOCUMENTATION IF REQUIRED TO VERIFY COMPLAINT IF NECESSARY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS COMPLAINT. *JB”

“1998 CHRYSLER SEBRING CONVERTIBLE: BRAKE WORK. AFTER HAVING MY BRAKES REPAIRED THREE TIMES I NOW HEAR THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE MASTER CYLINDER. I JUST REPLACED IT AS WELL AS THE ROTARS A SECOND TIME.*AK REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER HAS SEPARATED FROM THE GLASS JUST AS LISTED ON YOUR PROBLEMS.”

“ON 2 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS WITHIN A FEW THOUSAND MILES OF EACH OTHER I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE LEFT AND RIGHT REAR WHEEL BEARINGS. EACH TIME THEY WERE REPLACED WITH THE IDENTICAL WRONG PART WHICH CAUSED THE LOSS OF THE ABS AND TRACK SYSTEM. CHRYSLER PROVIDED BOTH THE WRONG PART AND INCORRECT PART INFO. CHRYSLER IS USING 50+ OF THESE 1998 PARTS PER WEEK . THEY HAVE SINCE IDENTIFIED THERE ERROR AND HAVE WARNED THERE PARTS MGRS. AND CORRECTED THE INFO PROVIDED TO BCA FOR THEIR OEM PARTS CATALOGUE. I MET BY COINCIDENCE ANOTHER 1998 SEBRING OWNER THAT LOST THEIR ABS SYSTEM AFTER A REAR WHEEL BEARING REPAIR. MY CONCERN IS THAT CHRYSLER KNOWS THAT THERE WERE REPAIRS MADE WITH THE WRONG PART. THERE CUSTOMERS LOST A VALUABLE SAFETY SYSTEM. CHRYSLER HAS NOT NOTIFIED THEIR CUSTOMERS OF THE ERROR. IT TOOK A GREAT DEAL OF INVESTIGATION ON MY PART TO FIND AND CORRECT THE PROBLEM. STILL AT THIS TIME THEIR IS STILL INCORRECT INFO IN THE HANDS OF MANY AUTO REPAIR SHOPS.”

“CALLED DEALER 1 MONTH AFTER PURCHASE COMPLAINING OF BRAKE NOISE. HAVE REPLACED BRAKES 6 TIMES IN LESS THAN 40,000. DEALER REFUSES TO FIX. TOOK TO OUTSIDE SHOP, HAD TO REPLACE FOR 7TH TIME. WE CAN NOT SELL VEHICLE, AND WORRY ABOUT SON DRIVING.WANT CAR REPLACED, DEALER WON'T BUDGE.*AK”

“A LOUD SOUND COMING FROM FRONT LEFT AND RIGHT WHEELS WHENEVER YOU INCREASE SPEED, I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE ALL FOUR OF MY TIRES TWICE, AND STILL HAVING THE PROBLEM OF THE TIRES GOING FLAT. THE BRAKES PULSATE WHENEVER COMING TO A STOP AND THEY CONSTANTLY SQUEAL. I HAVE WENT TO THE MECHANICS FOR ALL OF THIS LISTED COMPLAINTS AND NO ONE WAS ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. MY BRAKES PULSATING WAS SAID TO BE ATTRIBUTED TO THE KIND OF BRAKES THAT CHRYSLER PUTS ON THERE VEHICLES A SEMI METALLIC TYPE. MY FRONT WHEELS FEEL AS THOUGH THEY ARE ABOUT TO FLY OFF. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE.*AK”

“WHILE TRAVELING AT 50 OR 55 REAR ENDED A CAR. HAD SLAMMED ON BRAKES, BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR, AND VEHICLE DID NOT STOP. UPON IMPACT, AIRBAGS DIDNOT DEPLOY. *AK”
