2002 Chrysler Sebring Convertible Problems

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.

OIL LIGHT COMES ON A LOT, ESPECIALLY WHEN STOPPED, CAR SMELLS BADLY OF OIL BURNING AND SMOKES A LOT, SCARY WHEN DRIVING, ALSO AIR AND HEAT ONLY WORK ON HIGH VERY ANNOYING I WOULD NEVER BUY A CHRYSLER AGAIN. *TR

MY AIR BAG LIGHT HAS COME ON AND HAS BEEN ON FOR OVER 3 MONTHS. I SAW TODAY ON WINK NEWS THAT 2002 CHRYSLERS WERE BEING RECALLED DUE TO AIR BAGS. I LOOKED UP MY VEHICLE BY VIN NUMBER AND IT SAYS 0 RECALLS. COULD YOU PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF AUTO IS SAFE TO DRIVE.

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 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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 CHRYSLER SEBRING CONVERTIBLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL BECAME FRACTURED AND FOLDED UNDER THE VEHICLE. ALSO, THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT MOMENTS LATER THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE UPPER CONTROL ARM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE WHEEL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 107,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 112,000.

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 ELSE, NO POWER TOP OR HEATED SEATS EITHER. NOW, HERE'S WHAT'S WORKING. THE CAR STARTS AND SEEMS TO DRIVE AS NORMAL, I HAVE AS I SAID THE E-BRAKE LIGHT AND THE OIL PRESSURE LIGHT ON THE DASH, THE POWER WINDOWS, OUTSIDE LIGHTS, TURN SIGNALS AND HAZARDS, REVERSE LIGHTS, RADIO/AMP, POWER MIRRORS. THE TRANSMISSION INDICATOR ON THE DASH. I BASICALLY NOW OWN A 2500LB PAPERWEIGHT. *TR

REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER WIRE IS ALWAYS FALLING OFF THE GLASS, SO THAT IT NEVER WORKS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE WORD "DECK" APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD. THEN A SERIES OF NUMBERS APPEARED, ALONG WITH A BEEPING SOUND. BEFORE I COULD PULL OVER, THE STEERING AND BRAKES LOCKED UP AND I WENT INTO A 360 DEGREE SPIN. I HAD NO CONTROL OF THE CAR. THE CHRYSLER FINAL CAME TO A STOP ON ITS OWN. CHRYSLER HAS REFUSED TO INVESTIGATE THE MECHANICAL ASPECTS OF THE CAR AND SO THE CAR IS TOTALED. I HAVE SINCE MET OTHERS WHO HAVE HAD SIMILAR EXPERIENCE BUT TRADED THE CAR BEFORE THEY WERE INJURED. THIS WAS A DEFINITE MECHANICAL FAILURE THAT I WAS ABLE TO SURVIVE AND OTHERS AROUND ME. CHRYSLER SHOULD CHECK THIS OUT. *TR

2002 SEBRING CONVERTIBLE LXI WITH MULTIPLE STILL YET UNRESOLVED "ELECTRICAL" PROBLEMS : DOOR LOCKS (8+ TIMES ATTEMPTED REPAIR) FRONT PASSENGER POWER WINDOW(2X ATTEMPTED REPAIR) , AIRBAG LIGHT RESULTING FAILED SEAT BELT TENSIONER(2X), WIPER MOTER FAILED, STEREO SYTEM (2X), OTHER ISSUES.

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT HAS COME ON SEVERAL TIMES FOR VARYING PERIODS OF TIME. UNDER WARRANTY THEY HAVE REPLACED RIGHT FRONT SEAT BELT TENSIONER AND SEAT BELT BUCKLE. WARNING LIGHT STILL COMES ON SOMETIMES. THEY SAID THAT THE BAGS WILL NOT OPERATE WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON. THE LIGHT MUST BE ON FOR THEM TO WORK ON IT AND IT WILL NORMALLY BE OUT BY THE TIME THAT I MAKE AN APPOINTMENT AND GET IT IN. *JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 CHRYSLER SEBRING CONVERTIBLE. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WHEN THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE TIRES WERE PARTIALLY DEFLATED. THE CONTACT ADDED AIR TO THE TIRES BUT FOUND THAT THE TIRES WERE EXHIBITING A SLOW LEAK. THE TIRES WERE REPLACED THREE TIMES BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP WHERE THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT THE RIMS OF THE VEHICLE HAD BECOME PITTED OVER TIME AND WAS ALLOWING AIR TO LEAK. THE MECHANIC ALSO ADVISED REPLACING THE RIMS. THE RIMS WERE NOT REPLACED AND THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 125,000.

FORCED TO REPLACE ALL MY TIRES ONCE, AND BRING MY CAR INTO NTB MULTIPLE TIMES REGARDING MY TIRES GOING FLAT DESPITE THAT THE CAR COULD SIT IN MY GARAGE ALL WEEK, AFTER SPEAKING WITH NTB THEY SAID THEY DEAL WITH THESE THINGS ALL THE TIME, A CHRYSLER PULLS IN AND HE CAN TELL YOU EXACTLY WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. THE WHEEL RIM ON THE CHROME ONES, ARE CORRODING CAUSING A RIM LEAK, THIS CAUSES MANY UNINFORMED CUSTOMERS TO GO OUT AND BUY BRAND NEW TIRES WHEN THIS IS NOT NECESSARY, IT ALSO FORCES CUSTOMERS TO WASTE TIME EITHER BY HAVING THEIR CAR CHECKED OUT EVERY MONTH B.C OF THESE LEAKS OR MAKE THEM STOP AT A GAS STATION AND FILL THEIR TIRES UP WITH AIR LIKE I DO. I PLEASE ASK YOU ALL WHO READ THIS TO WRITE TO CHRYSLER TO EXPLAIN TO THEM THIS POOR PERFORMANCE, I HAVE READ OTHERS COMPLAINTS WHICH COULD LEAD TO BLOW OUTS, AS FAR AS I LAST CHECKED THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND ADDRESSED NOW! THIS IS ONGOING FOR OVER A YEAR. *TR

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

THE HORN DOESN'T WORK , CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALWAYS ON, AIRBAGS LIGHT ON CLOCK SPRING NEEDS TO BE REPLACE, AND IT SEEMS THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM ... MY CAR WONT BE ABLE TO PASS THE EMISSION TEST... AC COMPRESSOR DOESN'T WORK . *TR

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

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 CHRYSLER SEBRING CONVERTIBLE. WHILE REVERSING OUT AT 2 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED TO 4000 RPMS. THE CONTACT ENGAGED THE BRAKES BUT THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO REV. SHE THEN ENGAGED THE PARKING BRAKE, SHIFTED INTO PARK AND SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED SIX TIMES IN ONE MONTH. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ON ONE OCCASION, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AND WHEN SHE ATTEMPTED TO BRAKE, HER FOREHEAD HIT THE STEERING WHEEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP WHERE THE ENGINE WAS CLEANED ALONG WITH OTHER REPAIRS (THE CONTACT WAS UNSURE OF WHAT THE OTHER REPAIRS WERE). THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 77,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 81,049.

DT: 2002 CHRYSLER SEA BRING CONVERTIBLE LX - THE CAR WAS BOUGHT USED. SINCE OWNING THE CAR SEVERAL TIMES AS APPROACHING A STOP THE VEHICLE WILL REV AND SURGE FORWARD. ONCE THE VEHICLE SURGES FORWARD HAS TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES TO GET THE VEHICLE TO STOP. TOOK IT TO A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP, AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. ALSO, WERE ARE UNABLE TO TELL THE CONSUMER WHY THE VEHICLE DID THIS. THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS WHEN THE CONSUMER PULLED INTO MY GARAGE AND THE VEHICLE SURGED. THE CONSUMER LOST CONTROL, HITTING OBJECTS IN THE GARAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER RECALL. *AK

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 CHRYSLER SEBRING CONVERTIBLE. WHILE THE CONTACT'S DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING 30 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL EXTENDED TO THE FLOOR WHEN IT WAS DEPRESSED. HIS DAUGHTER CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE AND THE FRONT AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE INSURANCE COMPANY STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND WOULD NOT INVESTIGATE WHY THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CONTACT'S DAUGHTER RECEIVED INJURIES TO HER FACE AND NECK. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000.

CAR TAKES FOREVER FOR THE ENGINE TO WARM UP, SOMETIMES STALLING & HARD TO START. THE HEATER MOST OF THE TIME DOES NOT WORK IN MY 2002 CHRYSLER SEBRING LXI, IT ONLY BLOWS COLD AIR. THE SEAT HEATER WORKS, HOWEVER IT HAS A LOUD NOISE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WHEN OPERATING. *TR

I BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW, ADDED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND HAD SEVERAL THINGS GO WRONG. JUST TO NAME A FEW: ENGINE SHUT DOWN WITHOUT WARNING AND HAD TO BE REPLACED WHEN IT WAS JUST OVER THE 100,000 MILE WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH OIL CHANGES AND REGULAR MAINTENANCE WAS DONE 3-4000 MILES, TRANSMISSION PAN HAD METAL SHAVINGS IN IT WHICH RESULTED IN POOR PERFORMANCE, CONTROL ARM HAD TO BE REPLACED AFTER CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THE PROBLEM WAS THE MOTOR MOUNTS(I DID NOT NEED THE MOUNTS REPLACED AND THE REPAIR WAS NOT DONE UNDER WARRANTY), WATER PUMP & THERMOSTAT HOUSING(WAS TOLD BOTH WEREN'T COVERED AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN), REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER REPLACED AND/OR FIXED THREE TIMES, DRIVER POWER WINDOW REGULATOR REPLACED(GLASS HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE OF DAMAGE FROM THE REGULATOR, WHICH I PAID), VISOR VANITY LIGHT-PART ORDERED BUT "TOO LATE" WHEN TRIED TO HAVE IT REPLACED(WAS NOT NOTIFIED THAT PART WAS IN), DASH LIGHTS-ON & OFF, HEADLIGHTS REPLACE SEVERAL TIMES, HUB SEAL REPLACED, PASSENGER SEAT ADJUST ARM BROKEN, LIGHTER INOPERATIVE, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON FIRST MONTH I HAD THE CAR! *TR

I PURCHASED 2 EACH EAGLE GA P205/65R15 TIRES FOR THE LOCAL GOODYEAR GARAGE ON JAN. 20, 2007. I INITIALLY WANTED TO PURCHASE 2 OTHER TIRES BUT SINCE THEY DIDN'T HAVE THOSE IN STOCK, THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD GIVE ME THESE TIRES FOR THE SAME PRICE AS THE OTHER TIRES. IN MAY OF 2007, I HAD TO HAVE BOTH VALVE STEMS REPLACED ON THE TIRES AND AGAIN IN NOVEMBER OF 2007 BECAUSE THE TIRES KEPT LEAKING AIR. I PURCHASED THE TIRES AT WITH 53861 MILES ON THE CAR. I CURRENTLY HAVE 74747 MILES AND WAS TOLD AUG 15, 2008 BY THE SAME GOODYEAR STORE THAT I NEEDED NEW TIRES BECAUSE THE TREAD WAS DOWN TO 3/32. AFTER THEY CALLED CORP AND I COMPLAINED, I WAS TOLD GOODYEAR WOULDN'T REPLACE THE TIRES UNTIL THE TREAD WAS AT 2/32. MY TIRES LEAK AIR CONSTANTLY AND THE TREAD WEAR IS VERY APPARENT. I WAS TOLD IT WAS PROBABLY A SUSPENSION/NON ROTATING TIRE PROBLEM. THE TIRES WERE ROTATED EVERY 4 MONTHS DURING THE OIL CHANGE. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THE FAILURE SINCE GOODYEAR WON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT REPLACING THEM FOR ANOTHER MONTH DUE TO NOT ENOUGH TREAD WEAR!! *TR

I LEASED THE 2002 SEBRING CONVERTABLE LXI ON SEPT 9, 2002 SINCE THEN I HAVE BEEN HAVING ON GOING PROBLEMS WITH THE AIR BAG LIGHT SINCE JUNE 2003 TO THIS DATE MAY 2005. STILL HAVING THE PROBLEM. THEY HAVE REPLACED THE SEAT BELT TENSIONER 3 TIMES N THE DRIVER SIDE AND 2 ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, ALONG WITH THE SEAT BELT BUCKLE, SET BELT EXTRACTER. THE DEALERSHIP KEEPS REPLACING THESE PARTS BUT EVERY OTHER MONTH IT SEEMS THAT THE AIR BAG LIKE IS STILL COMING ON. AMONGST OTHER ISSUES I AM HAVING WITH THIS VEHICLE SUCH AS THE STEERING PULLING LEFT TO RIGHT OR WHEN I EXCEL {4 TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED} THE STEERING SPINS 3-4 TIMES COMPLETELY AROUND I HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS SINCE JUNE 2003.

TO THIS DAY MAY 15, 2005 ALL THE ABOVE COMPLAINTS ARE STILL AN ISSUE.

A FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED IN THE CAR. AFTER THE REPAIR THE CAR RAN BAD AND THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. DEALER ADVISED IT WAS ONLY OIL SLUDGE AND IT WAS OKAY TO DRIVE. THE CAR EXPERIENCED A COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. *TR

DRIVING ON I-295 IN THE EVENING WHEN ENGINE SUDDENLY, DRAMATICALLY AND WITHOUT WARNING LOST POWER AND STARTED STALLING. MY WIFE WAS VERY NEARLY STRUCK BY TRAFFIC FROM BEHIND DUE TO THE SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER WHILE ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. WE WERE INFORMED BY A LOCAL MECHANIC THAT THE ENGINE IS BLOWN AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. *NM

THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT HEATER CAUGHT ON FIRE AND BRUNT A HOLE THROUGH THE SEAT AND THROUGH A PILLOW THAT WAS LAYING ON THE SEAT. THE SEAT HEATER WAS ACCIDENTALLY ENGAGED BECAUSE OF THE LOCATION OF ENGAGE BUTTON. THE FIRE OCCURRED DUE TO AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE IN THE SEAT HEATER SYSTEM. DEALERSHIP IS ONLY RECOVERING THE SEAT.*AK

I HAVE LEASED MY 2002 SEBRING CONVERTIABLE LXI ON SEPT 9, 2002 SINCE THEN THE CAR HAS BEEN BACK FOR NUMEROUS TIMES. BEGINNING NOT EVEN 3 MONTHS AND 500 MILES INTO LEASE. I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH IT. ELECTRICAL (AIR BAG LIGHT, ALTERTATOR LIGHT, ENGINE LIGHT, DRIVER SIDE HEATED SEAT), TRANSMISSION HAS RECENTLY HAD BEEN SERVICED AND PARTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED, I HAVE BEEN TELLING CHRYSLER (DEALERSHIP) SINCE ABOUT 500 MILES AND THEY TOLD ME IT WASN'T ANYTHING, THEY RECENTLY REPLACED A COUPLE OF THINGS AT ABOUT 26,866. I WAS HAVING AND STILL HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE IGNITION KEY NOT COMING OUT OF THE IGNITION ON MY LAST SERVICE (MARCH 04) THEY'VE REPLACED THE IGNITION COLLAR. I HAVE TRIED TO RETURN OR TRADE IN FOR A NEW CHRYSLER CAR BUT THEY SAY SINCE I AM IN A LEASE THERE'S NOTHING I COULD DO ABOUT IT. THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS STILL COMING ON EVERY 10 SECONDS SINCE MY LAST SERVICE MARCH 04 BUT THEY SAY NOTHING IS WRONG. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND CORRECTLY THERE'S TWO THINGS THAT COULD HAPPEN 1. AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOTE IF I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT AND 2. IT COULD DEPLOTE AT ANY GIVEN TIME WHILE I'M DRIVING. SO NEEDLESS TO SAY I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR. THE DEALERSHIP DOESN'T SEEM TO CARE. CAN YOU HELP ME . *AK
