RT.1 CARIBOU, MAINE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55-60 MPH IN A 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING. TWO (2) PASSENGERS. DRIVING NORTH I STRUCK A BLACK BEAR IN A FRONT END COLLISION AS IT WAS CROSSING THE ROAD FROM MY LEFT INTO MY LANE. APPROXIMATELY FOUR-THOUSAND (4,000) DOLLARS IN DAMAGE WAS DONE TO THE VEHICLE MOST OF IT TO THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, INCLUDING HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY, HOOD, GRILL, DRIVERS SIDE FENDER AND OTHER DAMAGE. BODILY INJURY IS TO DRIVER ONLY INCLUDING NECK INJURY AND BACK AND SHOULDER PAIN. THE REASON FOR THIS COMPLAIN IS DUE TO NEITHER THE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG NOR THE PASSENGERS SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. *TR

I BOUGHT MY 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING BACK IN OCTOBER 2007 AND HAVE HAD IT EVER SINCE. HOWEVER, AFTER THE FIRST YEAR , I STARTED HAVING PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT WHICH WILL COME ON SOMETIME AND NEVER GO OFF UNLESS YOU STOP THE CAR AND RESTART. THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT ALWAYS COME ON WHEN I AM IN HEAVY HIGHWAY TRAFFIC OF WHEN I AM DRIVING IN THE CITY . WHEN ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT IS ON YOU CANNOT BREAK TO STOP THE CAR, OR SPEED UP. IT MAKE YOU LOOSE CONTROL OF THE WHOLE CAR INCREASING THE POTENTIALITY OF ACCIDENT IF YOU WAS DRIVING AT ANY SPEED ABOVE 25 MPH.THEREFORE WHEN I DRIVE I ALWAYS MAKE SURE I AM CLOSE TO THE CURB. I WENT TO CHRYSLER DEALERSHIPS, BUT THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THE CAR OR COULD CAUSE THAT FAILURE, `AND HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO FIX IT.I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS PROBLEM IS RELATED TO THE POWER TRAIN. MANY OTHER OWNERS OF 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENED TO ME ALREADY MORE THAN 30 TIMES, LUCKILY I AM A GOOD DRIVER, AND WITH LUCK I WAS ABLE TO HANDLE THE CAR. I WENT TO PENNSYLVANIA THIS WEEKEND AND ALMOST DID NOT MAKE IT HOME. ALSO LAST NIGHT IT HAPPENED TO ME TWICE AT 12 AM RIGHT AT THE EXIT OF 295 WHILE THERE WAS CARS BEHIND ME AND I ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENTS. *TR

HIGHWAY SAFETY THERE ARE MILLIONS OF AUTOS ON THE U.S. HIGHWAYS (AND AROUND THE WORLD), WITH HEADLIGHT LENSES THAT ARE FOGGY THAT IS, NO LONGER CLEAR. THE RESULT IS THAT THE LIGHT FROM THE HEADLIGHTS IS DISPERSED MORE WIDELY AND NOT FOCUSED FORWARD, FOR THE DRIVER TO SEE THE ROAD AHEAD. FOR DRIVERS GOING IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION, IT RESULTS IN BLINDING THEM. ALL OF THIS CAN CONTRIBUTE TO INCREASED TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS AND DEATHS. THE AUTO MANUFACTURERS HAVE BEEN ALLOWED TO GET AWAY WITH THIS TERRIBLE CAR DESIGN FAR TOO LONG. THEY MUST BE REQUIRED TO USE MATERIALS FOR THE HEADLIGHT LENSES, THAT WILL NOT PIT AND ABRADE OVER TIME, THUS RETAINING THE CLARITY OF ORIGINAL MANUFACTURE. JUST LOOK AROUND AT VEHICLES ON THE ROAD. THE PROCESS OF DETERIORATION BEGINS WHEN THE VEHICLE HITS THE ROAD FOR THE FIRST TIME. THE PLASTIC MATERIALS USED GRADUALLY ABRADE DUE TO WIND, MUD, SALT, ETC., ETC. WHILE THERE ARE PROCESSES THAT AUTO OWNERS CAN USE OR HAVE PERFORMED, TO POLISH THE LENSES AND REASONABLY RESTORE THE ORIGINAL CLARITY. FEW DO IT BECAUSE THEY EITHER DONT RECOGNIZE THE PROBLEM OR DO NOT WANT TO SPEND THE TIME/MONEY TO CORRECT IT. IF THE GOVERNMENT CAN REQUIRE SUCH SAFETY ITEMS AS SEAT BELTS AND AIR BAGS, IT CAN REQUIRE BETTER MATERIALS FOR HEADLIGHT LENSES AND SAVE LIVES. GO BACK TO GLASS THIS CONDITION DID NOT DEVELOP WITH THE OLD SEALED-BEAM HEADLIGHTS. GLASS CAN BE MOLDED TO ANY SHAPE DESIRED. THE MATTER SHOULD HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED YEARS AGO. THE NHTSA HAS BEEN NEGLIGENT IN NOT DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE. DONT WAIT!! WHILE I CANNOT SPECIFY A SPECIFIC DATE OF AN ACCIDENT OR VEHICLE RELATED TO THIS PROBLEM, I HAVE ENTERED BELOW, IN ORDER TO GET THIS MESSAGE DELIVERED. AS I SAID JUST LOOK AT CARS IN YOUR PARKING LOT, EVEN YOU OWN VEHICLE (UNLESS IT IS ONLY A COUPLE OF YEARS OLD) AND YOU WILL SEE WHAT I MEAN.
