1998 CHRYSLER SEBRING

ON HIGHWAY 69 I PROCEEDED TO PASSING A SEMI NEAR CRAFT ROAD. AFTER PASSING THE SEMI I RELEASE MY FOOT OFF OF THE THROTTLE, BUT THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. FINALLY AT 102 MPH BOUNCING MY FOOT ON AND OFF THE PEDAL WITH NO CHANGE. WHEN GOING INTO THE CORNER I THEN BUMPED THE TRANSMISSION INTO NEUTRAL AND TURNED THE KEY OFF. I POPPED THE HOOD, GOT OUT AND COULD SEE NO ISSUE WITH THE CABLE, STILL IN IT'S FACTORY LOCATION. NO BINDS OR KINKS I THEN PUSHED DOWN ON THE THROTTLE LINKAGE ON THE THROTTLE BODY AND IT POPPED LOOSE. I GOT BACK IN AND HAVEN'T HAD ANOTHER PROBLEM SINCE.

WHEN WE ACQUIRED OUR 1998 CHRYSLER SEBRING JUNE 2010, BOTH OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLES WERE BROKEN. WE COULD ONLY OPEN THE DOOR THROUGH AN OPEN WINDOW. THE DEALER WANTED $500 TO INSTALL THEM. IN APRIL 2012, THE PASSENGER HANDLE BROKE AGAIN. NOW, JUNE 2012, THE DRIVER HANDLE BROKE AGAIN. THE PARTS INSTALLED TWO YEARS AGO HAVE BOTH BROKEN AGAIN. THESE PARTS ARE PLASTIC AND APPARENTLY DO NOT LAST VERY LONG. IS THERE A RECALL? WHAT DO WE DO? *TR
