Consumer states brake and gas pedal positions are too close. On 10/01/02 consumer was at a red light and unbeknownst the consumer's foot was on both the accelerator and brake pedals. The vehicle rolled forward and a minor collison occurred. Nlm.

While washing car consumer noticed excessive brake dust. Consumer took vehicle to dealer and they stated that cambers were out of alignment. Dealer said rear toe and cambers were out of range, so they set rear and front toe. 4 days later, noticed dust again. Consumer stated same problem has reoccurred for last month. The seal around the rear window is leaking. Consumer states vehicle still pulling to the left and the right. Fluid leak from left front wheel, dealer could not find any problems. Dealer states excessive brake dust is normal for this vehicle.

When coming out of car wash brakes failed, pedal went to floor, this has happened 4 times. Dealer found lots of brake dust. This has consumer worried about driving in rain.

Vehicle has only 19000 miles. Upon applying the brakes pedal gets very soft, and brakes grab slightly. Brake pedal is still very soft after the dealer replacing the front brake and master cylinders.

Letter sent to Chrysler with all details (file number 5441396)(copy available on request). I braked, car stopped momentarily, then started to slide as though on ice. Brake pedal did not go down all the way to the floor & I was still applying pressure as the car continued forward. First time just went thru stop sign. Second time (10 minutes later), I had the same problem and hit a car. Estimated damage given was only to their car. Did not estimate mine. Chrysler's independent advisor said nothing was wrong with the brakes. Don't know what they checked but they said they wouldn't do any more. Terrified to drive car again. Traded it in to another dealer for a different brand. They considered the estimated damage in the trade-in price. I hope nobody gets killed next time. Considering they had a recall on the 96 Sebring convertible, you would think they would look harder for the cause of this double brake failure. Maybe they fixed the problem and just did not want to admit that there was one.

Brakes failed resulting in vehicle collision.

Vehicle collision due to brake failure.

Brakes failed 7 months after dealer installed new brake booster vacuum hose as result of a chyrsler recall. When brakes failed front bumper struck the rear bumper of a Jeep. While traveling at approx. 10 mph, the Jeep only experienced minor damage. Within seconds of collision, the engine of my vehicle caught fire - resulting in a total loss of my vehicle. Believe this is due to manufacturer defects.

While driving consumer tried to make a sudden stop, pressed the brake pedal to the floorboard and the vehicle continued to travel. The consumer tried to depress the brakes again and the vehicle stopped. Dealer has been contacted.

Brake problems; intermittently, while driving the vehicle at 30 mph and applying the brakes, the pedal goes to the floorboard and the vehicle keeps traveling at 35 mph. This happens without warning, under normal braking conditions, on regular road surface, and no inclement weather. The brakes pads were replaced 4 times/rotors were replaced once, and calipers were checked/replaced. Owner still experiencing braking problem.

Brakes make noise when applying and shifting gear. Yh.

The defective braking system warped out several times. Had replaced the braking system 4 times. Had a 1996 Sebring had the same problem, had to replace braking system 6 times. Dealer said the 1997 Sebring had a new braking system, but the problem is still occurring. Dealer cannot determine problem.

When driving at any speed and applying the brakes, brakes are working intermittently. Vehicle has been into repair shop five times for brake service, and the dealer can't determine the problem.

When applying the brakes, under any circumstances, there is a very loud squeaking noise coming from the brakes. The vehicle has been serviced 3 times for this problem, but the noise continues. Dealer stated that a letter was received from the manufacturer stating that the problem could not be corrected.
