TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHRYSLER SEBRING. ON JUNE 25, 2007, WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE.

I HAVE HAD MY CAR FOR 2 YEARS AND ALREADY THE TRANSMISSION HAS WENT OUT AND THE TIMING BELT BROKE. THE PANEL LIGHTS FLICKER ON AND OFF, MY AIR AND HEAT STOP WORKING WHEN I STOP. THE BRAKES ARE HORRIBLE. WHEN I GOT THE CAR A WEEK LATER I WAS BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP TO GET MY BRAKES FIXED. NOW I HAVE TO PRESS THE BRAKES ALMOST ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR TO STOP AND IT SOUNDS LIKE A TRAIN WHEN I STOP. THERE IS A KNOCKING NOISE WHEN I TURN OR SLOW DOWN AND RUN OVER THE SLIGHTEST LITTLE BUMP. MY RADIO VOLUME GOES UP AND DOWN ON ITS OWN. AND MY CAR SOUNDS LIKE A TRUCK THE MOTOR OR WHATEVER IT IS SOUNDS SO LOUD. I PERSONALLY DON'T THINK THE CAR SHOULD HAVE EVER BEEN MANUFACTURED.

THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. TOLD IT WAS A TENSIONER SWITCH IN THE SEAT BELT CLIP SIDE. THEY WANT AN OVER PRICED $200 TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. PLUS $88 JUST TO DIAGNOSE IT. I THINK THIS WAS ALL QUITE OVER PRICED. I WILL BAYPASS THIS SWITCH SHORTING THE WIRES BEFORE IF I HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS. CHRYSLER SHOULD PAY FOR THIS REGARDLESS OF IN OR OUT OF WARRANTY. THIS WAS A DEFECTIVE PART IT WAS THEIR FAULT IN MY OPINION.*AK
