There hasn't been an acccident that has happened but the unsafe part about this car is that everone of the lugs:nuts on the wheels were not the correct lugs:nuts for the car and therefore my wheels were not on my car securely. I have made road trips to florida and alabama with my car being very unsafe.

5 Wheel Bolts problem of the 1996 Chrysler Sebring

Failure Date: 09/14/2001

Wheel lugs: studs are of defective material. In the last 6 months, there have been 6 failures where the lugs had to be replaced. The lugs and nuts sieze and cannot be removed and replaced without an air wrench. These replacements are documented. The "merchants tire" dealer says it is widespread among Chryslers. This is a safety issue since it makes the spare tire useless (lugs cannot be removed with manual lug wrench). I use the car to get to remote areas and being stranded by a flat tire is dangerous. I hope that a recall can be issued for this defect. Please advise.
