I own a '99 chrysler sebring lxi coupe and I'm having problems with the door trim or cladding. I have experienced the door trim flapping at the rear edge of the passenger door and sliding forward getting caught clipping the front fender while opening the door. I understand that there was a recall regarding this problem and I called chrysler corp. I was told that the recall covered vehicles manufactured up to august '98. My vehicle was manufactured on october '98. I believe my vehicle should be covered under this recall due to the fact that I'm experiencing the same problem and that my car was produced so close to the recall deadline. Apparently the defect that was to be corrected on cars produced after august '98 wasn't done on my vehicle.
1999 Chrysler Sebring body complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 31 of 31, newest first, as owners wrote them.
While driving passenger side door handle became detached from vehicle, consumer is no longer able to open the door from the outside. The cause of this failure is unknown. *mr *tt
While driving down the interstate the door panel on the passenger side came partially unattached. We noticed this when we stopped at a gas station. When I opened the passenger side door the panel crushed into the front quarter panel and dented it. I contacted a local dealership and they said they could fix it for me but it was not under warranty for the door panel falling off. However, they did offer to fix it for me for a costly sum to be determined once they saw the vehicle and estimated the damage.
The door hinge is rusted out which means you cannot open the door. The mechanism is off. Please provide any further information. Nlm
Driver's side door would come off the hinges when opened. Dealer notified. Feel free to provide any further information concerning this matter.
I ahve been to the dealershipabout the hot tar that was leaking from my door and they said that they fixed it. Well the next summer it got hot once again and the hot tar got on clothing and my leg. How ever by this time my warranty was out and so they said it was not there responsebility and I ahd to cover the repair since they had no record of the repair. I also contacted chrysler onthe problem and the employee response was "just because you are haveing problems does not mean anyone else is!"I would have to say that I would never ever buy another chrysler product again! I have gotten no customer service from the dealership but I ahd an awesome salesaman who can not do anything to help! But sell me another car in six months after I pay this one off more. All in all this has been a learning adventure for me.
We noticed "tarry droppings on ledge when we opened drivers door they seemed to be leaking from the door. We have power windows and locks. We were not too concerned I thought they were just caused by the extreme heat of the desert area here in phoenix. The only problems were my wife had to raise her dress to keep the tar from getting on the hem . Soon after my car reached 36,000 miles my locks got slow to work. Then about 37,000 miles my outside door handle just fell off when I shut the door. I have asked chrysler to fix this obvious flaw in construction but they have told me since my car was not in warranty they were not responsible. I have owned many cars and have never seen or heard of anything close to this type of problem. I think chrysler should stand behind their product and fix this. If you have any records of similar complaints I would appreciate this information. Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter.please me @ [xxx] sincerely [xxx]. *ak information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *js
Driver's side door panel popped off while driving 45mph. Problem had happened twice before and replaced by mechanic.

While traveling at 30 MPH on icy road condition vehicle spun out of control and landed facing west, when a 18 wheeler hit consumer at about 65 MPH, and none of airbags deployed.*ak the air bags failed on head collision prior to the accident, the engine had over heated and would not start. Door won't open due to power locks failure.

The emergency brake sticks on and the consumer has never used it.
Toxic tar substance leaks out of the doors
More than 5 trips to the dealer for the same problem on both doors.
While travelingon a freeway, we had the convertible top down and covered with the 'boot".after about 5 minutes the boot flew off.the boot is held in place by "velcro". In my opinion velcro is not strong enough to hold the boot and is unsafe. I have ask chrysler for test results for the boot and they stated none was available,I should contact your department. Can you help?
When driver's side sunvisor is pulled down it knocks the rearview mirror out of place. Manufacturer was contacted & they said nothing could be done.
Both side door panels fell off. Yh
On three different occasions when opening the driver's side door the door panel fell apart from the door. Consumer has contacted the dealer in reference to the problem. Dealer was awear of problem, and has replaced the door panel. Please provide any further details.
The cladding on the vehicle is broken which cause the panel to fall off. Dealer is aware of failure. The new 2000 vehicles are redesigning the "cladding" to correct problem.
Hazardous if flying off on highway - both door panels
