DT: THE ABS BRAKES FAILED ON THE VEHICLE. SHE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED WITH 19,000 MILES ON IT. AFTER SHE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE SHE NOTICED A GRINDING NOISE WITH THE BRAKES. SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAD THE ROTORS REPLACED BECAUSE THEY WERE WARPED.

2004 CHRYSLER SEBRING HAS A RECURRING AIR BAG PROBLEM.*MR THE AIR BAG LIGHT WARNING LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND GO OFF NUMEROUS TIMES WHILE DRIVING. A SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER WAS REQUIRED, BUT THAT DID NOT RESOLVE THE AIR BAG LIGHT PROBLEM. THE A/C WOULD ONLY BLOW ON THE HIGHEST SETTING. THE LEFT FRONT WINDOW MADE A CREAKING NOISE WHEN GOING UP OR DOWN. THE THERMOSTAT AND GASKET WERE REPLACED DUE TO A COOLANT LEAK. THE DRIVER SIDE MIRROR WAS LOOSE. *JB

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, MY RADIO WOULD PRODUCE A LOUD POPPING NOISE AND THEN THE DISPLAY WOULD GO BLANK. MY ODOMETER WOULD BEGIN BLINKING AND THE REST OF THE GUAGES WOULD GO DOWN. MY CAR STALLED AND I HAD TO RESTART IT. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG. THE SECOND TIME, THEY REPLACED MY BATTERY. THE THIRD TIME, NOTHING WRONG. THE FOURTH TIME, THEY REFORMATTED THE COMPUTER IN THE CAR. THE FIFTH TIME NOTHING FOUND. TODAY WAS THE SIXTH TIME AND IT IS STILL AT THE DEALERSHIP. I'M BEGINNING TO FEAR FOR MY FAMILY'S SAFETY BECAUSE IT IS STALLING WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS BECOME EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEMS AT THE DEALERSHIP.
