WE HAVE A 2004 CHRYSLER SEBRING CONVERTIBLE WHICH HAS A PROBLEM WITH LURCHING FORWARD AND UNABLE TO STOP (NO BRAKES). THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES AND WE FEEL IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. IT HAS NOW BEEN DIAGNOSED AS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. WE FEEL WE SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS DEFECT BUT CHRYSLER HAS REFUSED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. WHEN WE CONTACTED CHRYSLER, WE WERE TOLD WE HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT NOW ARE TOLD WE DO NOT. WE ARE AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR AND FEEL STRONGLY THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD BE WILLING TO REPAIR OR TAKE IT OFF THE ROAD. *TR
