This should be a recall on all the chyslers if this is an known issue about the suspension and steering of parts. It is too expsenive to fix .
The steering is tight 80% of the time. I found out I had bad struts after putting it on a lift what else could it be?.
I drove into a gas station and as I pulled in the tire sounded as if it was flat I checked it and it looked fine. I tried to drive of and the front drivers side wheel did not move. I removed the tire in the parking lot to try and find out what was wrong, I couldn't see any visual issues. As I backed out to try and drive the car the balljoint came out. I had to pay to get my car towed from new jersey back to my town in NY for $110 and then on top of that had to pay to get towed again to a mechanic and with the repair fees ended up spending $500 for repairs. Also my oil light comes on when the car is in idle. Even came on as soon after I got an oil change.
This complaint follows others that own the Sebring conv. And the sludge buildup,. I also do reg. Maint. On the vehicle and now have an engine that has siezed & failed in the middle of the highway almost causing a pileup. I have researched this vehicle and have found numerous complaints on this problem, not only on this site but several others, I also understand that a class action suit is being brought againt Chrysler on the 2. 7ltr engine for this fact. The oil light kept flickering took it in to have it checked out and could not find anything wrong, levels correct, it would go out for awhile and then boom. This would go on like every 3 months or so since I haved owned this car . Never again Chrysler. Will it take a death for you to order a recall on these engines???.
While traveling on the highway the vehicle pulls to the right while traveling on the highway. The dealership is aware of the problem. Mr.
