Radiator problems of the 1996 Chrysler Sebring

Two problems related to radiator have been reported for the 1996 Chrysler Sebring. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Radiator problem

Failure Date: 05/01/2001

Radiator: the whole inside of the pipes; hoses; radiator is rusted. Every time I get an oil change I must get my radiator flushed and the coolant is completely rust color. It takes about 6 flushes for it to be clear again. This is abnormal for a car with only 86000 miles on it. I want all the hoses and radiator replaced free of charge. Convertible top: all the seems have come unstitched. . . I've had to glue them with special glue. The edging around the windows leaks. This should not happen!.

2 Radiator problem

Failure Date: 06/01/1998

After replacing head gasket, I now have rust deposits in the radiator fluid. The window in back falls with a thump when put down, and the brakes constantly squeak. My dealer told me there was a national back order on head gasket replacement parts, and that he had a whole parking lot waiting to be repaired.
