Five problems related to door have been reported for the 2001 Chrysler Sebring. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
One evening while trying to exit my car, the driver's side door would not open from the inside. I took the car to the dealer, who had to order the part. This part has been on back order since July 19, 2007. As of Dec. 10, 2007, Chrysler says that there is not estimated delivery date for the part. No dealer anywhere has this part, so basically it doesn't exist. I still cannot open my driver's side door from the inside.
The chrome plate on the interior door handle has "split". This has caused me to cut my finger on several occasions when opening the door. I have asked two dealers to repair the handle. I am told that it will cost in excess of $500. 00 to replace the entire door panel. I find it difficult to believe this expense to replace a $10-15. 00 part. It was a "defect" in the production of the handle, not abuse, that has created this situation. I was in touch with customer "disservice" on one occasion, but they have not returned any of my calls since.
The inside door handle, where the chrome materials separated, cause cuts on the consumers finger every time the door was opened. The dealer was notified and notified the consumer that the warranty was expired.
The door panel separated from the door and caused injuries.
All four of the vehicles door handles started peeling which caused injury to the consumers hands.
