While driving heard a thumping noise in the front end of the vehicle. Took vehicle to the dealer, and was told that she needed a new axle. She had the axle replaced. Also, she was told that the rims were bad, and tires continuously lost air. Took the vehicle back to dealer, and was told that the rims rusted completely through. That was why the tires didn't last. The rims broke into the tires.

When accelerating to approximately 50 MPH my 1999 chrysler sebring jxi has recently started to shudder at 3-4 gear changes. Was advised by mechanic that torque converter is going out. About 2 months prior tachometer started moving irratically. Dealership advised guages needed to be reset, but problem has persisted. Although possibily unrealated, this afternoon (day after seeing mechanic for torque converter problem), my car began to overheat while idling for only 2-3 mins. I immediately turned off ignition, and had car towed to dealership. I am waiting for a diagnosis.
Dealership to help consumer correct the transaxle floor shifter ignition park interlock.*mr the consumer had a bad experience while attempting to have the vehicle's recall work done at the dealership(recall # 04v021000). The dealer indicated that the recall work could not be done on a saturday therefore the consumer made eventually able to made a saturday appointment but when she arrived her appointment was not recorded. The consumer was then told that the minimum wait was 2 hours to have the vehicle repaired. The consumer refused to wait two hours.
Recall 04v021000 concerning floor shift ignition park interlock. Vehicle was taken in for recall repairs, but the problem still persisted. The key could be taken out of the ignition when the vehicle was running. Also, gear shift could be moved when the key was out of the ignition.
Problems with transmission on 1999 chrysler convertible resulting in vehicle breaking down.*mr the consumer stated the first indication of a problem was a loud mechanical bang from the vehicle, followed by a rapid lost of transmission fluid and smoke when the fluid struck the exhaust system. The vehicle was towed the nearest dealer. After the differential cover was removed, it was determined that the retaining pin for the spider gear had been ejected from its seat with enough force to puncture the adjacent cover of the transmission, which resulted in the fluid lost. The locking pin which held the larger retaining pin in place had sheared off as well.
On 4/22/04 I took my 1999 chrysler severing convertible to be services because the AC didn't seem to be cooling and there was a grinding noise in the front drivers side wheel. Turns out the rack & pinion steering is shot, the cooling core is cracked and the cooling sensor is not functioning properly. Repairs would total more than $2100 to fix. Requested a front end alignment and took vehicle home to consider options. Two days later vehicle failed when started, 'service engine soon' light came on, speedometer didn't work, and vehicle was stuck in 2nd gear. Found out that both transmission sensors are bad, there is silver sludge in transmission and I need new front brakes. This vehicle has 48,000 miles on it. Has been services according to manufactures recommendations and I can't wait to get rid of it.
