I WAS PARALLEL PARKING AND MY TIRE CAME OFF ?!? I ONLY HAVE 110000 MILES ON IT ! THATS UNEXPECTABLE . I'M COULD HAVE BEEN IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I COULD HAVE. HAVE BEEN KILLED

WE BOUGHT THIS CAR USED IN 2010 WITH 69,000. IT WAS GREAT FOR A MINUTE AND THEN...HOSES, WATER PUMP, TENSIONERS, A LOT OF TENSIONERS, DRIVE CHAIN, SENSOR FOR SOME TIMING ISSUE, THERMOSTAT, FUEL PUMP, A BOLT THAT SHEARED OFF THE OIL PAN. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON, WITH THE CODED FOR GAS CAP. NO MATTER HOW MANY GAS CAPS (5). IT LEAKED OIL FROM DIFFERENT PLACES. GET ONE SEAL REPLACED , IT WOULD LEAK FROM SOMEWHERE ELSE. TOWED AT LEAST 6 TIMES. LAST TIME IT WAS 100 DEGREES, IT STARTED MISSING, SMOKING. IT ENDED UP BEING THE BATTERY, BUT I WAS WAY TOO PARANOID TO DRIVE THIS CAR ANY MORE. TOO MUCH MONEY AND STRESS. NOT SURE I EVER WANT TO OWN ANOTHER CHRYSLER. I TRADED IT IN AND I AM SORRY FOR THE NEXT PERSON THAT OWNS IT. THESE ISSUES STARTED AT APPROXIMATELY 75,000. TRADED IN AT 132,000.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE LAST DEC,2014.. IT IS A USED VEHICLE THOUGH, ITS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVE WAY APPROX. 2 WEEKS AFTER I BOUGHT IT & THE RIGHT SIDE PASSENGER SIDE THE SUSPENSION, ARM & BALL JOINT JUST FELL OUT.. THE DAY PRIOR TO THIS I HEARD A DEFINITE KNOCK FROM THAT WHEEL BASE. IN FACT WHEN I WAS BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVE, I WAS ON MY WAY TO THE MECHANIC. WELL, BEING STRANDED, I HAD TO CALL A TOW SERVICE TO HAUL IT IN FOR REPAIR.. THEY SAID THEY COULD REPLACE IT,& THE CHARGE FOR THE ASSEMBLY WOULD COST $112.00 PLUS.. HAVING IT REPLACED & REPAIRED. IT IS NOW 10 MONTHS LATER & THE KNOCKING IS BACK & MY CONCERN IS THAT IT WILL FALL OUT WHEN I'M DRIVING CAUSING AN AWFUL ACCIDENT. THIS IS WEAR I STAND NOW W/ THIS ISSUE THAT IS RECORDED UNDER YOUR RECALL DESCRIPTIONS. THANK YOU.. *TR

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, ON THURSDAY, MAY 13, 2015, AT APPROX. 2:00 P.M., I WAS BREAKING TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN ONTO ANOTHER ROAD WHEN I NOTICED MY CAR KEPT ACCELERATING WHEN MY FOOT WASN'T ON THE GAS PEDAL. (THERE ARE NO FLOOR MATS IN THE CAR). MY BOYFRIEND WAS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. I HAD NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS IN MY LIFE! I KEPT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND EACH TIME I LET OFF THE BRAKE, THE SPEED ACCELERATED W/O MY DOING IT. MY BOYFRIEND PUT THE CAR IN (N) & TOLD ME TO PULL OVER IN THE GRASS OFF THE SHOULDER. HE THEN TURNED OFF THE IGNITION. (IT WAS A MIX OF GRASS & MUD). I NEEDED ASSISTANCE TO GET UNSTUCK. THANKFULLY, I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO STOP BEFORE GOING INTO AN INTERSECTION THAT WAS JUST AHEAD. WITH THE CAR OFF, MY BOYFRIEND PUMPED THE GAS PEDAL APROX 3 TIMES THEN STARTED MY CAR. THE PROBLEM HAD STOPPED. I WAS VERY SHAKEN UP SINCE REALIZING I WE &/OR OTHERS COULD'VE BEEN KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT. I PURCHASED THIS CAR ON 4/2/15 FROM AN INDIVIDUA

THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS COME ON AND OFF FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTH. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND ALSO DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE REGARDING THE LIGHT ONLY TO FIND THAT THIS IS A MORE THAN COMMON, IRREPARABLE ISSUE. ON 2/10/2015, WHILE DRIVING- SPECIFICALLY COMING TO A STOP, I SAW A SWIRL OF WHAT APPEARED TO BE SMOKE, COMING OUT AROUND THE STEERING COLUMN. A WOMAN, WITH ONLY MY SON IN THE CAR, I WAS FEARFUL, PULLED THE CAR TO THE SIDE AND HAD IT TOWED. I HAVE SINCE BEEN ADVISED THAT WHAT I SAW WAS NOT SMOKE, RATHER, POWDER FROM THE AIRBAG WHICH IS APPARENTLY LEAKING. THAT HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. I RESUMED DRIVING AND AFTER ABOUT A DAY AND A HALF, THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS BACK ON. *TR

I HAVE A 2002 SEBRING LIMITED CONVERTIBLE THAT HE HAD PURCHASED IN AUGUST 2012 WITH AT THE TIME JUST OVER 64K ON THE DIGITAL CLOCK. IT NOW HAS JUST OVER 71K ON IT. A FEW MONTHS BEFORE THIS I HAD AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE THAT LOOKED LIKE A BURNED WIRE SOMEWHERE AND A PUFF OF SMOKE UNDER THE DRIVERS SIDE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I TIGHTENED UP THE LOOSE REMOTE GROUND ON THE STRUT TOWER AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. A FEW WEEKS LATE I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED AND IT WAS FINE. WELL ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO I WENT DOWN TO THE DOCTORS OFFICE AND BACK AND ARMED THE SECURITY SYSTEM LIKE NORMAL. LATER I HAPPENED TO LOOK IN THE CAR AND THE SECURITY LIGHT WAS NOT FLASHING. I OPEN THE DOOR AND THERE IS NO MILES ON ODOMETER, NO DASH RESPONSE FROM THE GAUGES, WARNING LIGHTS EXCEPT FOR THE E-BRAKE LIGHT AND OIL PRESSURE LIGHT. ALSO NO HORN, WIPERS, DOME LIGHTS, TRUNK RELEASE, POWER DOOR LOCKS/KEYLESS ENTRY, AC, REAR DEFROSTER, DASH LIGHTS, WARNING LIGHTS, THE TRIP COMPUTER INDICATES THE COMPASS HEADING BUT NOTHING

ON THE WAY HOME FROM WORK THE LEFT FRONT BALL JOINT SOCKET SEPARATED. I WAS GOING 50 MPH. ON A STRAIGHT ROAD, NO POT HOLES OR BUMPS. THERE WAS A LOUD BANG, FRONT END DROPPED DOWN, LEFT FRONT TIRE FLIPPED SIDEWAYS AND THERE I WAS STUCK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I HAVE 35 YEARS IN THE COLLISION INDUSTRY AND DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THIS HAPPENS, OTHER THAN A POOR PART FROM THE START. THESE PARTS SHOULD NEVER SEPARATE. I CHECKED FOR RECALLS AND THERE ARE NONE ON MY CAR. BUT I WOULD THINK THERE SHOULD BE. I HAVE INSURANCE THAT WILL PAY FOR REPAIRS OTHER THAN THE BALL JOINT. GOING TO HAVE THE OTHER SIDE REPLACED ALSO. THIS HAPPENED AT 5PM ON A BUSY ROAD, THERE WAS LOTS OF TRAFFIC. I WAS PLEASED THAT NOBODY CREAMED ME WHILE I TRIED TO GAIN CONTROL OF CAR AND MAN HANDLE IT OFF THE ROAD. I SEE MANY OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS ON HERE. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A LOT WORSE. *TR
