This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The contact owns a 1997 Chrysler Sebring convertible. While approaching a stop sign, a police officer informed the driver that the undercarriage of the vehicle was on fire. The driver exited the vehicle just as it became completely engulfed in flames. There were no injuries, but both a police and fire report were filed. The current and failure mileages were 91,000.
Since owning the vehicle the stitching around the convertable window has come undone. The consumer called the manufacturer about the problem and got no response.
I have called the Chrysler corporation about the draining holes of my Sebring and they have said there is no problem. I've asked a couple of people and they said that the holes are too small. My car will get destroyed at this rate. When it was still under warranty they could not figure out the problem at the dealer they thought it was from the convertible top or the seals of the windows. Now I know what the problem is but they say there are no recalls on this problem. I don't know what to do anymore.
Engine check light illuminated, indicating a malfunction within system, cause unknown. Dealer replaced the oxgen sensor which did not correct the problem.
Whenever the brakes were in use the calipers failed to open. Vehicle would stop until noise indicated a problem with brakes. Would take to dealership & mechanic replaced brakes. The brake problem happened at least 5 times so far. Last time brakes just gave way & needed to use emergency brakes to stop vehicle. On 5th set of brakes. Also, remote control does not work/ both front windows glass distorted/replaced spark plugs/replaced transmission interlock system/replaced noisy front end/replaced starter, and realigned driver's side door hinge.
We have had many other similar problems with this car since ownership. We missed the time limit on lemon law by 2,000 mi. And arbitration sais that this does not impare our driving the car and the dealer sais that we should be thankful that it is not engine trouble, also you have to expect problems with a new car. Chrysler has never aknowledged my letters.

Mirrors & plastic parts of trunk are faded - a gray color. The sun roof visor keeps coming off track. There is a noise in the fuel system coming from underneath the back seat. Sounds like a high pitched whine. Cd player stopped accepting cds. There is a whistling noise & leak from the passenger side window (up from the mirror).
