What owners wrote
Loose brakes, transmission slips, accident and airbags did not deploy it takes a long distance to stop. Brakes are not ABS. 9/11 truck pulled out in front of me, stomped on brake, wheels did not lock, car did not stop rolling and I hit the vehicle. Transmission always slips, especially at 30 MPH. I have been in two frontal hits and airbags did not deploy. Dealer has been told about the problem numerous times.
I purchased a new 2004 sebring limited convertible from egolf motors, hendersonville, nc in sept., 2003. I immediately noticed the engine idle was a problem because when the brakes are applied when slowing to stop, the engine seems to pulse or rev up and then die down to a normal idle. No accidents have occurred, but the engine has died on two occasions while idling. When the transmission shifts it is jerky and at times noisy.
