Vehicle interior floods during moderate to heavy rainfall. In light of the number of problems, the cost of repairs the consumer has incurred on what is apparently a design flaw on parts that have no mechanical wear, is unbearable. The consumer is now requesting reimbursement from Chrysler and need assistance in resolving matter safely and promptly.

I have called the Chrysler corporation about the draining holes of my Sebring and they have said there is no problem. I've asked a couple of people and they said that the holes are too small. My car will get destroyed at this rate. When it was still under warranty they could not figure out the problem at the dealer they thought it was from the convertible top or the seals of the windows. Now I know what the problem is but they say there are no recalls on this problem. I don't know what to do anymore.

The converible roof is unravelling at the seams, making it unsightly and dangerous. I had water in my foor in the back seats and an upholstery shop discover a defect in the manufacture of the body causing the leak. It has been successfully fixed. But the soft top roof to be replaced would cost $1250-. it is my observation that there are a lot of convertibles during the model years of 1997 (mine) and other years (1998- ?). I called Chrysler and they noted my complaint but haven't addressed the problem to my knowledge. I think this should be a recall as I see it on many converibles. What if one of these tops were to tear loose? that's my concern!!

The interior rearview mirror image were completely distorted making it impossible to view any objects through it. The trunk lid had fallen on the consumers head, the leather seats cracked, and the stitching on the convertible top had come undone.

This car is garbage! I have had water leaks, had to replace complete fabric interior! the battery light now refuses to go off along with the engine light. I have gone through 4 batteries in a year, have replace the alternator and I still have problems. Not one shop, along with a dealer, can understand why this car will not run properly. The dealer who sold me the car told me it was too late for him to do anything about it. I also have the same problem as everyone else with the seat belt, drivers side. It no longer connects together. Dealer who sold me car stated the car was a 6 cylinder as does my title, found out recently that car is only 4 cylinder.

Consumer states after a hard rain the passenger side consumes water which could cause rust to the vehicle. Consumer also states there is no drainage to show where the water maybe coming from. Deaelr is not aware. Consumer feels this is dangerous as it could cause severe rust damage.
