I have a 1999 Chrysler sebring which has had the ball joint come out of both sides of the vehicle of the front 2 wheels about 6 months apart. This has caused damage to my vehicle which I have repaired. I am very concerned about my safety and the safety of my family because this last time I was about a mile away from getting on the highway, which could have been deadly. I feel that this is a safety issue and wonder about recalls and if I should be reimbursed. The tow to my home was $106, the tow to the mechanic was $65 and the mechanic bill was $303. This is just the drivers side. This happened on the passenger side as well and I feel I should be reimbursed for both. Documents of these charges can definitely be provided if needed. I am concerned about this happening again, not just my own car but anyone else that may be driving one of these vehicles. Please let me know either way. Thank you.

Driver side seat belt failure on our 1999 Chrysler Sebring convertible jxi. The seat belt locking mechanism fails to lock over time. The plastic locking clip inside the locking clip will break (did break) with continuous use. The dealer wants $100 + for the part. If Chrysler used a stainless steel locking we would have this problem. Also the transmission sensors have a limited life. After driving for 30 minutes or more during low deceleration and low acceleration the transmission bucks and or slips. Right now I have swap the passenger side seat belt locking mechanism to the driver side and we sit in the back if we're a passenger because $100 right now is not affordable. Also when it rains water fills in the rear quarters, right up to the speakers, I have to park on a hill to drain it!

My trunk falls down with out any warning. Hurts when your head is under it. The fuel light keeps going off and on even when full. The back window came unglued, I was told that I have to purchase a new window and have it installed with a upholstery person, price quotes are 680-780 dollars nothing is wrong with the window seems like such a waste.

I have several issues/defects it started @ 8/29/00 both door moldings fell off they had to replace door cladding, started before 7/9/02 but took car in on that date because paint delaminated and was peeling covered 100% by dailmer Chrysler and still as of 6/9/04 I am still fighting with daimler Chrysler to repaint the vehicle, the whole paint job/clear coat is coming off the car. But now they only will cover 50% and only the areas affected therefore, I will continue to have this problem until the car is completely repainted because logically the whole car was painted with the same paint and little by little the paint is delaminating in several areas and will continue unitl the car is entirely repainted. 2 recalls- recall #967 lower ball joints and recall #884 molding trim clips, brakes squealing, brakes replaced twice 08/24/02 & 05/04/04 and rotors resurfaced, tires replaced 3 times, the passenger handle broke and can't enter the car from passenger have to open door from inside. The drivers side inside molding where the door and window buttons are came off and the plastic air vents broke, I am in the process to get the inside moldings, air vents and passenger handle estimates to get it fixed and mailing. Daimler/Chrysler my issues especially the paint defects.
