2008 Chrysler Sebring

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED CONTINUOUSLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS AND STATED THAT THE AIR BAG SEAT CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

I REPORTED THESE PROBLEMS BACK IN SEPTEMBER 2011 AFTER I WAS INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT ON THE FREEWAY. ON SEPTEMBER 03, 2011, I WAS DRIVING ON SOUTH I-43 FREEWAY. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO MAKE A LANE CHANGE, MY CAR WENT OUT OF CONTROL DUE TO STEERING FAILURE. I COULD NOT STEER MY CAR, MY STEERING WHEEL WAS VERY LOOSE AND THERE WAS NO CONNECTION BETWEEN THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE VEHICLE ITSELF. I WAS STRUCK BY ANOTHER DRIVER THAT HIT MY CAR ON THE PASSENGER-SIDE BY THE REAR LOWER SIDE PANEL. NO AIRBAG DEPLOYED. MY CAR SLAMMED UP AGAINST THE CONCRETE WALL BARRIER ON THE PASSENGER-SIDE OF MY CAR. I HAVE SIDE AIRBAGS, AIRBAGS IN MY SEATS, UNDERNEATH MY DASH, IN MY STEERING WHEEL, ONE ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE ABOVE THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT, AND IN ALL FOUR WINDOW SEALS OF MY CAR AND NOT ONE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. I HAVE ADR SYSTEM IN MY CAR THAT SUPPOSEDLY CAN RECORD SECONDS OF ACTIVITY AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT. WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT INFORMATION? I AM STILL EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH MY CARE THAT IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE SUCH AS; CONTINUING REPLACING TIE ROD AND THE STABILIZER BAR LOOSE. THIS PROBLEM STARTED FIRST HAVING PROBLEMS TRYING TO TURN THE KEY IN THE IGNITION SWITCH TO CRANK THE CAR AND AT TIMES FEARING THAT I MIGHT BREAK THE KEY IN THE IGNITION SWITCH AND HAVING TO REALLY WIGGLE THE STEERING WHEEL TO GET THE SWITCH TO TURN OVER. PICTURES THAT WERE TAKEN BY MY INSURANCE COMPANY REVEALED A LOT OF RUSTY OLD LOOKING PARTS UNDERNEATH THE CAR WHEN IN FACT THE MOTOR OF THE CAR STILL LOOKS NEW. MY CAR WAS ONLY TWO YEARS OLD WITH A LITTLE OVER 17,000 MILES AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE IN OCTOBER 2010. WHEN I REPORTED THESE ALL OF THESE THINGS IN SEPTEMBER 2011, I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO RECALLS ON MY CAR AND I DOUBT IF THIS CAR HAS ANY AIRBAGS IN IT. I LEARNED AFTER, I HAD THE ACCIDENT IN MY CAR, THAT THE CAR HAD BEEN WRECKED AND HAD POSSIBLE FRAME DAMAGE AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE. *TR

WHILE I WAS SITTING IN MY CAR AT THE TRAFFIC LIGHT WHICH WAS RED AT THE TIME. A DWI TRUCK DRIVER SPEEDING AND HIT A MOVING CAR AND PUSH THE CAR INTO MY CAR AND THE DRUNK TRUCK DRIVER HIT MY CAR NEXT AT THE SAME TIME CAUSE ANOTHER CA MY CAR AND THE SPEEDING DWI DRIVER IN THE TRUCK HIT MY CAR AND MY CAR WAS TOTAL OUT AND I RECEIVE SERIOUS LIFE TIME INJURY FROM THE WRECK .THE DWI DRIVER WAS GIVEN A TRAFFIC TICKET AND WAS TAKEN TO JAIL,HOWEVER MY AIR BAGS DID NOT GO OFF.I WASTOLD BY THE DOCTOR IF MY BAG WOULD HAVE DEPLOYED I WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN INJURED SO BAD. *TR

FRONT DRIVER SEAT STARTED FEELING LOOSE, AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON, LOW TIRE LIGHT CAME ON AND CHECK OIL LIGHT WOULD COME ON EVERY TIME CAR IS STARTED. A FEW DAYS LATER THE CAR DIDN'T FEEL RIGHT AND STARTED MAKING A LOUD KNOCKING NOISE, TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC AND FOUND OUT THAT TENSIONER BELT BECAME LOOSE CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE CAR. I HAD TO GET A NEW ALTERNATOR, TENSIONER & PULL, AND TRANSMISSION FLUSHED/SERVICED AS WELL AS THE POWER STEERING. NOT VERY HAPPY WITH THIS 2008 SEBRING!!!!! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO DECELERATE AND APPLIED THE BRAKES BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESPOND. THE FAILURE CAUSED THE STEERING WHEEL TO SEIZE AND THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE, CRASHING INTO THE MEDIAN STRIP. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CONTACT AND A PASSENGER WERE INJURED AS A RESULT. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND THE CONTACT WAS AWAITING A RESPONSE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,000.

I HAD A SEVERE SIDE IMPACT ON MY 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING WHEN ANOTHER VEHICLE RAN A STOP SIGN AND BROADSIDED ME. I HAVE SIDE AIRBAGS, THE CURTAIN AIRBAGS AND THE ONES IN THE SEAT. NOT ONE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. CHRYSLER IS SAYING THE IMPACT WAS NOT SUFFICIENT TO DEPLOY THE BAGS. I DON'T ACCEPT THAT. THE DAMAGE TO MY CAR WAS $8,500.00 AND HAD TO REPLACE BOTH FRONT AND REAR DOORS AND THE ENTIRE SIDE FRAME. THE AIR BAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. *TR
