Chrysler Sebring hardtop covertible. I can activate the hardtop to raise or lower when in drive. This to me could be a big safety issue. If ii'm driving and some how this control is activated it'll cause an accident. It hasn't happen to me yet has it happen others?.

5 Structure problem

Failure Date: 06/01/2008

I have a 2008 Chrysler Sebring convertible limited with a cloth top. The top mechanism is defective as I just had to have the top repaired for the third time. It seems that each time one or another mechanism has failed. This is very unsafe as the top usually fails half way up and has to be towed in. I have been told that this is a frequent defect on these new cars.
