Seven problems related to brake electric antilock have been reported for the 1998 Chrysler Sebring. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
While backing out brakes broke off from vehicle, causing brakes to fall onto ground.
On 2 different occasions within a few thousand miles of each other I have had to replace the left and right rear wheel bearings. Each time they were replaced with the identical wrong part which caused the loss of the abs and track system. Chrysler provided both the wrong part and incorrect part info. Chrysler is using 50+ of these 1998 parts per week . They have since identified there error and have warned there parts mgrs. And corrected the info provided to bca for their oem parts catalogue. I met by coincidence another 1998 Sebring owner that lost their abs system after a rear wheel bearing repair. My concern is that Chrysler knows that there were repairs made with the wrong part. There customers lost a valuable safety system. Chrysler has not notified their customers of the error. It took a great deal of investigation on my part to find and correct the problem. Still at this time their is still incorrect info in the hands of many auto repair shops.
The car in front of me stopped short causing me to brake quickly. The brakes were totally unresponsive and failed despite more than enough room to brake safely.
Purchased a 1998 Chrysler Sebring July 1998. Had so many problems within a few week period that the dealer took it back, and gave me another one in August 1998. After a couple of weeks, the 2nd Sebring developed similar problems. When driving over bumps primarily on left side, a loud metalic rat-a-tat-tat sound coming from wheels. Also, intermittent steering problems. When making a right turn, with foot on brake pedal, steering wheel pulls to the left. Same results when making a left turn, steering wheel pulls to the right.
Brakes were squeaking when pushing brakes, took to dealer, and they could not dublicate the problem.
While driving could step on the brake pedal but felt pedal pulsating, and extended stopping distance. Problem caused by warped rotors, which were replaced, and the new rotors became warped as well.
Door cladding falling off / brake rotors warp easily.
