NHTSA Complaint #10164061 — 2000 CHRYSLER SEBRING CONVERTIBLE

I'VE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES OF MY 2000 SEBRING SHORTLY AFTER I PURCHASED IT FROM STAR CHRYSLER IN GLENDALE CA. IT ONLY HAD 14,800 MILES ON IT. I'M THE SECOND OWNER. I CAN'T REALLY HIT MY BRAKES AND THEY WEAR OUT REALLY FAST. CHRYSLER DID NOTHING ABOUT THIS. THESE BRAKES ARE DEFECTIVE, UNSAFE AND POORLY DESIGNED. I CONSTANTLY HAVE TO REPLACE THEM. IT'S VERY FRUSTRATING. I HAVE TO PUT MY CAR IN LOW GEAR TO GO DOWN HILLS AND OFF RAMPS SO THE BRAKES DON'T WEAR OUT. ALSO, MY SENDING UNIT DISABLED AT 84,000 MILES. I NOW HAVE TO COUNT THE GALLONS OF GAS AND TRACK THE MILEAGE SO I DON'T RUN OUT OF GAS. VERY DANGEROUS. CHRYSLER AGAIN DID NOTHING. THIS IS A COMPUTER RELATED AND SHOULD NOT HAVE FAILED AT 84,000 MILES. MY DISTRIBUTOR FAILED LAST WEEK AT 107,000. THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE FAILED. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY TOLD ME THE ONLY WAY THEY COULD GIVE ME ASSISTANCE IS IF I TOWED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. IT WAS A TOTAL LIE JUST TO GET ME IN THERE TO SPEND $. THEY WANTED $1500. CHRYSLER NOTIFIED ME THE NEXT DAY TO TELL ME I WASN'T GETTING ANY ASSISTANCE DUE TO BEING OUT OF WARRANTY. THIS COST ME 2 UNNECESSARY TOWS FROM AAA. I HAD TO TOW IT AGAIN TO ANOTHER MECHANIC WHICH USED UP MY LAST TOW WITH AAA. I HAD TO TOW IT ALSO WHEN MY GAS GAUGE DISABLED. CHRYSLER IS VERY UNETHICAL TO IT'S CONSUMERS AND FAILED MISERABLY IN THE QUALITY OF THEIR VEHICLES. *NM
