Three problems related to engine belts and pulleys have been reported for the 1998 Chrysler Sebring. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Pulley of compresseor failed in 5/99, causing belt to break and major engine damage covered under warranty. Pully failed again September 01. No response from Chrysler. I caught before any other damage, but cannot be a coincidence.
Side molding fell off on the freeway. Brakes vibrated. Dealer said it was normal wear. Rims have bent several times. Front end was very low to the ground. Engine died becuase serpentine time belt came off, causing engine to cease. Dealer tried to repair problem, but it still squealed. Dealer couldn't remedy the problem.
While driving at 55 mph vehicle stalled without warning. Dealership performed a diagnostic test which indicated that timing belt and engine failed.
