1997 SEBRING'S RECALLED FOR THIS REASON. WHEN I CONTACTED CHRYSLER THEY SAID THIS PARTICULAR CAR DID NOT HAVE A RECALL. WHY, THEN, DID THIS HAPPEN TO MY CAR. I REPORTED THE FRONT END OF THE CAR TWICE. THE FIRST TIME, WHEN THE CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY, NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT. THE SECOND TIME, NOT UNDER WARRANTY, THERE WAS 3,500 WORTH OF DAMAGE. THE DEALER TOLD CHRYSLER IT WAS CAUSED BY AN ACCIDENT. I NEVER HAD AN ACCIDENT IN THIS CAR. *AKPERHAPS, BEFORE I OWNED IT?
