I am so disgusted. I will never buy another Chrysler vehicle, nor will I encourage anyone else to do so. I purchased a 1998 Chrysler Sebring lxi on 6/29/2000. Since that time I have had the following problems: Key won't work in trunk all the time. Lack of air bag deployment - 2 different incidents (reported in a previous complaint) passenger side seat belt will open if you just push against it - I have taken the vehicle to the certified service agent (over a year ago) who was supposed to order the part and contact me when it arrived. He never did and now that dealership is not the service agent anymore. Driver's side seatbelt twists inside the covered area attached to the interior wall of the vehicle. High-pitched whining sound coming from front driver's side tire area. Have replaced rotors twice. Have had to purchase those expensive ($600 - $800) Goodyear tires about 4 - 6 times. One day, about 18 months ago, I was on the highway driving to work, going uphill and my car just slowly died. All the lights went out, I could not give it any gas, I could barely steer it and it just rolled to a stop. I kept trying to crank it and nothing happened. I was still partly in the road, so I put it in neutral and tried to back it onto the shoulder. After doing that, I tried to crank it again and it started right up. I drove it to a garage nearby, but they could find nothing wrong. Hesitation when going from park to drive. More complaints are being submitted in a subsequent form.
