| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: My 1996 chrysler sebring convertible almost caught fire from the dash stereo speakers mid 10/05 .. screeching noises came from my speakers and then smoke began to come out of them. i turned off the stereo and soon after went to my mechanic. when they turned my stereo on smoke came out of the dash speakers again. i asked them to pull the fuse so that it wouldn't happen again. on 2/16/06 i called chrysler. i received a letter from them dated 2/21/06 stating that they would not do anything about it because the time or mileage warranty had expired. on recall sights i have found where there were recalls for the same problem in slightly newer models. this could have ended in injury or even death to myself and my two nieces that i was driving to school that morning. i am hoping that you can help me have the problem corrected by chrysler. there are also other electrical problems and i've also had a few problems with the steering and timing belt. i await your reply. *jb |
