| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have just bought a chrysler sebring 2004, and experienced some problems. i have not been to teh dealer yet for them, just wanted to conform the problem first. i did a search online and saw this website an dthe i agreed with all the complaints already on here. 1). the car idles badly, and when slowing down at a light or while u have your foot on the brake, the vehicle will jump forward suddenly! i almost hit the car in front of me. this has happened twice so far. i have 128 miles on my car. after reading same complaints on this website, i am affraid that the dealer will not be able to fix this, which is pathetic that a 30000 dollar car would have something like this that is so annoying. 2. when u are decellerating with ur foot on brake to stop at a stop light for example, just before the rpm needle reaches teh idle point at "1" almost.. it will suddenly go back up to about 1.5 and then come back to 1. i dont know if its bad gear shifting by teh autotran or just bad timming adjustement? but its annoying, cuz it make teh car jump a little if you are soft braking. 3). twice already the engine just dies.. and i think thsi is related to the previous two problems. i was backing up in my parking at hime.. and as soon as i put gear in reverse.. the rpm sudeenly dropped.. and eventually engine shut down. same thing happened when i pulled up to the parking entrance at work to show my access card, and when i put it in p, the rpm dropped causing the car to stall. 4). transmission makes clunk sound sometimes while driving when changing from n to d. or when i do a cold start in teh morning and then put teh gear in d, as soon as i move teh car an inch.. it makes thsi sound.. somethimes looks liek coming from teh front end not the tran.. i donno what that is. but this also has been reported by other people on this same site, no one is hurt but i see my self bumping someone in future sooo clearly.!!*ak |
