1995 Chrysler Sebring Body & structure Problems

Owner-reported complaints naming the body or structure system, filed with NHTSA

Data refreshed

Body & structure reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

MY TWO BIGGEST CONCERNS ARE THE DOOR PANELS AND PASSENGER AIR BAG. I SAW THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL AS MY CAR YESTERDAY AND THE SAME DOOR PANEL WAS MISSING ON THAT CAR ALSO. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. THE DOOR PANEL SIMPLY BLEW OFF AS WE WERE GOING DOWN THE ROAD, POSING A THREAT FOR OTHERS ON THE ROAD. THE PASSENGER PANEL IS LOOSE. THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LOOKS AS THOUGH IT IS ABOUT TO DEPLOY. THE CORNERS ARE TURNED UP. PEOPLE ARE AFRAID TO RIDE IN MY FRONT SEAT DUE TO THE DANGER THE AIR BAG COULD DEPLOY. THESE ARE BOTH SAFETY ISSUES. I HOPE YOU WILL CONSIDER A RECALL AND REPLACEMENT OF DOOR PARTS. THANK YOU.*AK

THE SUPPORT MECHANISM THAT IS SUPPOSED TO KEEP THE TRUNK LID OPEN, SNAPPED OUT OF PLACE WITHOUT WARNING AND THE LID SLAMMED CLOSED. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD! THE LID IS VERY HEAVY AND CAN CAUSE A SERIOUS INJURY TO ANY PERSON REACHING UNDER IT TO REMOVE LUGGAGE, THE SPARE TIRE, ETC.. THIS IS MY DAUGHTER VALERIE'S FIRST CAR. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED SHE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SNAPPED THE MECHANISM BACK IN PLACE. IT CAME OFF AGAIN IN A FEW DAYS. ON 5/16/1999 I FOUND OUT THAT THE PROBLEM WAS STILL THERE AND TOLD MY WIFE AND MY DAUGHTER TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALER. THEY WENT TO MILTON RUBEN CHEVROLET ON 5/19/1999 WITH THE CAR AND SHOWED THE PROBLEM TO MR. CAL REUBER - MANAGER AT THE BODY SHOP DEPARTMENT. HE EXAMINED THE TRUNK AND TOLD US THAT THE MECHANISM WAS WORN OUT AND THAT NEW PARTS HAD TO BE ORDERED. HE INSRUCTED MY WIFE TO GO TO THE FRONT OFFICE. A LADY NAMED MICHELLE CAME OUTSIDE AND WROTE DOWN THE SERIAL NUMBER, THE MODEL, COLOR, ETC.. SHE ALSO WROTE DOWN MY DAUGHTER'S NAME AND TELEPHONE NUMBER. SHE SAID THAT THE SHE WOULD CALL WITHIN A WEEK. SHE NEVER DID. TODAY, I TOLD MY DAUGHTER TO CALL AND THEY SEEM NOT TO HAVE ANY INFORMATION. AGAIN SHE SAID SHE WOULD CALL BACK. NEVER DID. I TOLD MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER TO GO TO THE DEALER PERSONNALLY. THERE MR. CAL REUBER AND MS. MICHELLE APPEARED TO HAVE A HARD TIME REMEMBERING THEIR PROMISSES. I AM CONCERN THAT DELAY TACTICS ARE BEING USED WITH US IN ORDER TO MAKE US WAIT UNTIL THE EXPIRATION OF THE SERVICE CONTRACT AT 60,000 MILES AVOIDING TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR COST. I HAVE LOOKED AT THE MECHANISM AND IT IS A VERY POOR ENGINEERING DESIGN WHEN COMPARED WITH OTHER CHRYSLER CARS. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD! PLEASE HELP US PREVENT AN UNNECESSARY SERIOUS ACCIDENT! PLEASE DON'T HESITATE TO CONTACT ME FOR MORE DETAILS IF NECESSARY. THANKS, RAFAEL L. RIVERA - A CONCERNED FATHER. *AK

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
