Ten problems related to door have been reported for the 1999 Chrysler Sebring. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I own a '99 Chrysler Sebring lxi coupe and I'm having problems with the door trim or cladding. I have experienced the door trim flapping at the rear edge of the passenger door and sliding forward getting caught clipping the front fender while opening the door. I understand that there was a recall regarding this problem and I called Chrysler corp. I was told that the recall covered vehicles manufactured up to August '98. My vehicle was manufactured on October '98. I believe my vehicle should be covered under this recall due to the fact that I'm experiencing the same problem and that my car was produced so close to the recall deadline. Apparently the defect that was to be corrected on cars produced after August '98 wasn't done on my vehicle.
While driving passenger side door handle became detached from vehicle, consumer is no longer able to open the door from the outside. The cause of this failure is unknown.
While driving down the interstate the door panel on the passenger side came partially unattached. We noticed this when we stopped at a gas station. When I opened the passenger side door the panel crushed into the front quarter panel and dented it. I contacted a local dealership and they said they could fix it for me but it was not under warranty for the door panel falling off. However, they did offer to fix it for me for a costly sum to be determined once they saw the vehicle and estimated the damage.
Driver's side door panel popped off while driving 45mph. Problem had happened twice before and replaced by mechanic.
Door panels flew off vehicle while driving down road. This has happened 4 times since consumer has owned car.
More than 5 trips to the dealer for the same problem on both doors.
We noticed "tarry droppings on ledge when we opened drivers door they seemed to be leaking from the door. We have power windows and locks. We were not too concerned I thought they were just caused by the extreme heat of the desert area here in phoenix. The only problems were my wife had to raise her dress to keep the tar from getting on the hem . Soon after my car reached 36,000 miles my locks got slow to work. Then about 37,000 miles my outside door handle just fell off when I shut the door. I have asked Chrysler to fix this obvious flaw in construction but they have told me since my car was not in warranty they were not responsible. I have owned many cars and have never seen or heard of anything close to this type of problem. I think Chrysler should stand behind teir product and fix this. If you have any records of similar complaints I would appreciate this information. Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter. Please me @ bdove123@aol. Com sincerely bill dove.
