Nar 1/15/2003. The consumer was unable to get the abs to activate or the wheels to lock up on dry pavement. The consumer stated on wet surfaces, the problem was magnified because when the abs did activate, it reduced the brake pressure to the point that they were completely useless.

Car delivered with badly warped front brake rotors and the tires were way out of alignment. The conditions described could compromise the abs system and cause great bodily harm or death to the driver, passengers and anyone hit by this vehicle. Dealer fixed problems at first said vibration was normal for that car. Car was difficult to stop safely. Mr.

Two incidents occurred with subject vehicle, the first on 12/27/01. When approaching an intersection while slowing for a traffic light, the car lurched forward and accelerated. I immediately applied the brakes but the car continued to move foward toward a double parked vehicle. After pushing hard on the brakes while pulling my body up off the seat, the car finally stopped. I brought the car to the dealership and they could not find any problem. The next mishap occurred on 1/27/02, wherein I was to back out of my driveway. I had my foot on the brake pedal while shifting the car into reverse. The 2001 Sebring convertible lurched but could not move because my foot was on the brake pedal. This being the second time, I calmly placed the car in park. These too mishaps are frightening and dangerous as its occupants and any pedestrian(s) in the path of the vehicle could easily be injured or seriously injured.

Cable connecting gas pedal to engine frayed and stuck at full throttle. Brakes did not work. Was traveling in rush hour traffic at full speed two times. The first time repeated stomping on the gas pedal and brake pedal and throwing the car into neutral unjammed it after a couple of minutes. The second time also in rush hour traffic these efforts did not help. I wove in and out of traffic until I got to an off ramp, and luckily was able to get through the traffic light at the intersection at the off ramp and onto a sidestreet where I put it into neutral and landed it like an airplane on a landing strip with the brakes smoking and the engine screaming and the car glided to a stop. Was told the cable had unwound like a frayed piece of rope and stuck inside the cable connecting the pedal to the engine.

Upon depressing brake pedal to make a gradual stop, pedal went to the floor, causing extended stopping distance and vehicle went through a stop sign. Dealer unable to determine problem.

On 2 different occasions within a few thousand miles of each other I have had to replace the left and right rear wheel bearings. Each time they were replaced with the identical wrong part which caused the loss of the abs and track system. Chrysler provided both the wrong part and incorrect part info. Chrysler is using 50+ of these 1998 parts per week . They have since identified there error and have warned there parts mgrs. And corrected the info provided to bca for their oem parts catalogue. I met by coincidence another 1998 Sebring owner that lost their abs system after a rear wheel bearing repair. My concern is that Chrysler knows that there were repairs made with the wrong part. There customers lost a valuable safety system. Chrysler has not notified their customers of the error. It took a great deal of investigation on my part to find and correct the problem. Still at this time their is still incorrect info in the hands of many auto repair shops.

I ahve been to the dealershipabout the hot tar that was leaking from my door and they said that they fixed it. Well the next summer it got hot once again and the hot tar got on clothing and my leg. How ever by this time my warranty was out and so they said it was not there responsebility and I ahd to cover the repair since they had no record of the repair. I also contacted Chrysler onthe problem and the employee response was "just because you are haveing problems does not mean anyone else is!"I would have to say that I would never ever buy another Chrysler product again! I have gotten no customer service from the dealership but I ahd an awesome salesaman who can not do anything to help! but sell me another car in six months after I pay this one off more. All in all this has been a learning adventure for me.
