My wife and I had purchased an 05 Chrysler Sebring touring convertible from the huntington dealership with 22,800 mile on the clock. Several weeks after our purchase the nightmare had begun. The engine had over heated on the freeway, we had the vehicle towed and inspected by the glendale Chrysler dealership. They released the vehicle back to use. We ran into the same problem another 2 times, and the exact same way and problem. The third time the dealership said that their was an air bubble and they had fixed the problem. Guess what happened recently the engine overheated again, but this time the engine has been damaged but Chrysler doesn't want to fix the problem. I had the car towed to the semi valley dealership. Even though my warranty covers this, they don't want to be out of pocket. I have been without a vehicle for over a week, with them not allowing me a rental. I have had to seek other transport means which has cost me. At the current moment I am still without a vehicle I had to approve of an engine tear down to find the problem which has taken three days and will need an inspector from Chrysler to come and approve the findings and the repair. All just so Chrysler can try and point the finger (when the car has been nothing but trouble from the get go). And I'm not ever sure if Chrysler will approve of the repair. I hope they will do what's in the customers interest considering the stress and heartache this has caused. I do know that I will never buy a Chrysler again.
