In August of 1999, after a heavy rain, my car (parked in the street) FILLED w/ water on the passenger side floor front and rear. They had no available appointments for 1 1/2 weeks (which by then 3 days later the car flooded AGAIN) and they still wouldn't take it earlier. When I rescheduled my appt. I wanted an Area rep there since this is an ongoing problem that has now escalated, I was told by the dealership, that reps do not come for individual cars and he refused to give me his name. And they keep telling me lots of people had problems w/ LEAKS, w/ the rain, and I keep telling them I had to BAIL my car out it is not a leak. The car has flooded two times and smells like mildew, I'm nervous when it rains if anything important is left in the car. The transformer for the radio is under the passenger seat where it flooded, for three days it didn't work at all, and it smelled like something burning, now only the left side speakers work on the system. I pay $520 a month for a car I have to bail out on a problem I tried to have addressed prior to this. So
does Joseph of Santa Rosa, CA: Water had somehow leaked into the chassis on the passenger side. A strong burning smell was present, and the stereo was not functioning. When I turned it on, it was louder than tolerable and uncontollable. I shut it off immediately. The blinker blinks uncontrollably. The car smells terribly of mildew and wetness and I am afraid to drive it because of the electrical burning smell; which is why I have had to have it towed at the AAA's expense to Zumwalt Magrini ( the dealer). I find it amazing that subsequent to this occurence I have looked up the recall status on this car and the complaints with it on ConsumerAffairs.Com and found this very problem. How come no one has contacted the consumer about such risks? Linda of Hampton, VA, writes: I purchased my 98 Chrysler Sebring LX, November of 98. Upon driving off the lot, I experienced vibration and shaking in the steering wheel, and the alignment was pulling to the right. Less than a year later, I have already replaced the front brakes and the rotors surfaced. Continue to have the same problems. I fear what lies ahead for this new vehicle. Harry of Jacksonville, FL, isn't happy with his Sebring either: I worked a long time to buy a classy car, so I bought a brand new Chrysler Sebring Coupe LXI, right off the show room floor. Well the first problems that I started experiencing were the brakes, and those went out about twelve times in the last 9 months! Then the tires were out of round, and yes they were nice enough to send me to get some new tires. Then the molding on the door falls off, the center console cup holder falls apart, and the inner-booting on the passenger door squeaks like an old barn door, And last but not least the driver side window doesn't go down quietly, it goes down like it is going to break. I do not know what to do, but I have heard about "lemons" and I do think this qualifies.
