2001 chrysler sebring - defected door handle, cutting off each time you stop w/o topping it off. the car was in the shop 4 times, october, november, december and january-2002. recently, april 15-18,2003, it started cutting off. not under warranty i bought a new battery and then had to by a new auto computer system. i want haynes jeep chrysler and plymouyh to refund me all of my money and take the car back. my mother and i are handicapped, she has lupus and i just had major surgery as a kidney donor to my uncle. we were stranded in salisbury, nc after my follow up doctors visit at the carolinas transplant center. *nlm

Front end suspension, wheel bearing & steering - grinding noise when going over small holes or hills such as speed bumps & pot holes. almost never when driving directly forward, but often when turning. dealer made 4 (four) repair attempts and still has not gotten it right. not 2 months after last repair, which took six weeks to get all the parts together (during which the lemon law coverage for my car expired - go wonder about that..) the noises have returned again. other issues, i have seen 6 total issues mentioned in this site that i can identify with. as for those sudden accelerations some have mentioned, yes i agree the pedals are too close which makes it easy to mash both brake & gas pedals. *jb

After it rained, water collected in a puddle on the back interior floorboard. the dealer previously suspected the water came from the door seals and replaced them, however the leak resurfaced and it did not come from door seals. consumer believed the leak came from the chassis. *jb other problems are as followed: cd player malfunctioned, a/c unit failed and was repaired two times, the door panel was replaced, the steering column was replaced/squealed when turned/repair kit was installed/clockspring was replaced, the vehicle wouldn't start, there were electrical problems, a loud sound had come from the brakes, the window buttons were loose at the switch, and the engine cranked but did not start and was found to be flooded. scc

When weather is hot vehicle starts making a creaking noise. also, it sounds as though noise is in structure of vehicle.*ak consumer states sound has been present in vehicle since day one, dealer has replaced the front and rear sway bar link, both bushings, left ball joint, steering gear, differential/transaxle, and now dealer feels the problem is with the exhaust pipe, while driving consumer would make frequent stop and go motions which would make the noise even worse, consumer thinks the problem seemed to be expanding steel when vehicle was hot, dealer listened to the noise through headphones and stated the noise was not coming from the suspension, since dealer can not fix problem, consumer has decided to go through arbitration. when air conditioner is on a loud humming noise can be heard through the vents. *slc

Radio cd plyer failed. *ak

When i purchased the car brand new, the sunvisor on top was loose, the dealership said it was fine, then a couple of days later i noticed it was coming off more. they did fix this then i reported that the keyless entry remote did not work . i went there on three occasions for approximately 5 hours total to have this fixed, they did fix and now it does not work again. i am also hearing a water swishing sound when i start the car and when driving mostly in center of car, but can be heard in all area including when i step on and off the brake. i went to the dealership and saw three sales people and they could not help me and told me to come back on monday. they were very rude and would not even offer a suggestion about the problem i was having. this is a brand new car and costing more than 23,000 dollars, should i have all these problems already. *jb ***dimsii ivoq entry posted after 12/12/02 cut-over to artemis****741071
