| 2009 | POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION | ON MON., JULY 26, 2010 I WAS DRIVING WHEN THE DECK LIGHT CAME ON. I PULLED OVER, CLOSED THE TRUNK AND CONTINUED DRIVING. AS I PULLED INTO MY STREET, (LESS THAN 10 MIN. DRIVE), THE DECK LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. I PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY, WHICH IS ON A SLIGHT INCLINE, PUT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ON, PUT THE CAR IN PARK, LEFT IT RUNNING AND GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND CLOSED THE TRUNK AGAIN,STANDING BEHIND THE CAR. I THEN LEANED INTO THE CAR TO CHECK THE LIGHT THAT SAYS "DECK." AT THAT POINT THE CAR SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR AND STARTED ROLLING DOWN THE DRIVEWAY. MY PASSENGER WAS ABLE TO JUMP OVER THE CONSOLE AND APPLY THE BRAKE. I SUFFERED SEVERE BRUISING, SCRAPES AND RELATED INJURIES. MY ENTIRE RIGHT SIDE OF MY BODY SUFFERED INJURIES AND SOME ON THE LEFT SIDE, WHEN I HIT THE PAVEMENT. THE NEIGHBORS, POLICE AND EMT'S ALL CHECKED THE CAR TO MAKE SURE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS ON. IT DEFINITELY WAS. YOU CANNOT TAKE THE GEAR OUT OF PARK WITHOUT APPLYING THE BRAKE. *TR |
| 2004 | FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM:INJECTORS | 2004 CHRYSLER SEBRING CONVERTIBLE, 29,500 MILES. ENGINE RUNNING ROUGH. ENGINE LIGHT WOULD GO ON PERIODICALLY THEN GO OFF. TOOK TO DEALER. DID DIAGNOSTICS, CHARGE $84.00. FOUND CRACKED RESONATOR PIPE, REPLACED, NO CHARGE. CYLINDERS 3 & 5 MISFIRING. DEALER TELLS ME THAT THEY NEED TO TAKE OUT THE FUEL INJECTORS TO CLEAN, CHARGE WOULD BE $234.00. SO MUCH FOR 3 YEARS, 36,000 MILE WARRANTY. I HAVE NEVER TAKEN ANY CAR IN FOR THE INJECTORS TO BE TAKEN OUT AND CLEANED. I REPLACE THE SPARK PLUGS MY SELF AND PUT IN INJECTOR CLEANER IN THE GAS. CAR IS RUNNING BETTER BUT STILL MISFIRES ON OCCASION. SO MUCH FOR AMERICAN CARS AND THE WORKMANSHIP. THIS IS THE LAST CHRYSLER PRODUCT I'LL EVER LEASE. CALLED AND COMPLAINED TO DEALER. HE TELLS ME WHO DO YOU THINK WILL PAY FOR THE DIAGNOSTICS? OBVIOUSLY, NOT THEM. CALL DAIMLER-CHRYSLER IN DETRIOT. TOO BAD, NOT LISTED UNDER WARRANTY. THE DEALER IN CLEVELAND OHIO WAS CRESTMONT CHRYSLER FOR THOSE INTERESTED. DON'T BUY THERE!!!! I WOULD ASSUME THAT IF THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, THERE IS A PROBLEM AND BEING UNDER MILEAGE AND THE 3 YEARS, THIS WOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF. *JB |
