Abs light stays on. When battery light comes on ABS light also comes on. Brakes are constantly squeaking. Contacted dealer, and took vehicle to shop.
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.
I am very disapointed with the front bumper all I did was park and now its ruined I dont think I should have to pay since they made it so low to the ground I have found alot of other people with the same problem also the brakes I though maybe they didnt fix them right but now I am finding out from other people that own a sebring that it is normal for the breaks to always go and the bumber to crack please let me know if there is any way I can have chrysler pay for this

The emergency brake sticks on and the consumer has never used it.
The intake sensor failed and they replaced it once I drove it the rest of the way to them. It took @ 10 min to replace. They reported to me that I was the second one in a weeks period of time with the same problem. Then a week later I had my car in for service and asked them to check the transmission and it needs rebuilt. The problem witht he brakes has been on going. Replace front pads 3 times since may of 2000.
