NHTSA Complaint #10860801 — 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING

TAKATA RECALL. DURING THE COURSE OF A YEAR SINCE I'VE PURCHASED THIS CAR, I HAVE EXPERIENCED ISSUES WITH WHAT I BELIEVE TO BE POWER STEERING. TWICE WHILE COMING TO A STOP (STOP SIGN OR LIGHT), MY STEERING WOULD LOCK ALONG WITH MY BRAKES. WHEN I TOOK IT TO A SHOP I WAS TOLD MY THERMOSTAT NEEDED REPLACED. I TOLD THEM TO FIX THE ISSUE. ON APRIL 17TH WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK A LITTLE AFTER MIDNIGHT THIS SAME ISSUE OCCURRED ONLY WHILE I WAS STILL DRIVING. I WAS ABLE TO FORCE MY WHEEL TO TURN ENOUGH TO DRIVE UP THE BEND I WAS DRIVING AROUND RATHER THAN THE SCHOOL IN FRONT OF ME. FINALLY I HIT A POLE AND MY CAR HAS BEEN RULED AS A TOTAL LOSS. I HAVE MANY CONCERNS IN REGARDS TO WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED AND WHY.
