1996 Chrysler Sebring Engine problems

I took my car to get diagnostic for smog. The shop I took it to smog smart explain they have dismateled my car claiming engine, coolant, and timing belt. They have removed parts and claim they contacted chrysler and its company states its repairs is not worth the vehicle. The engine claim, the coolant claim and timing belt they have made against the manufacture. The engine checked fine before dropping the car off. The car would stop due to heating the fuel running since the car had been a non op for 3 years...

On the engine I had the pulley on the timing belt come apart and just last month I had the head gasket start to leak from the back. Timing belt 28,000 head gasket 37,500. I have had to replace all 4 tires that where on the car. All by 29,000 miles--some earlier and then later. The brakes were replaces at the same time as the timing belt pulley. I knew they needed replacement and had an appointment to get them replaced when the timeing belt went out. It is a 1996 but I only have 37,500 miles.

Problems with my 1996 chrysler sebring. It goes thro tons of oil, I keep having to add oil to the car, everything has been breaking on it. Now it periodically stalls out non stop. There is only 85k miles on the car and it should not be having these problems. I have put in thousands of dollars into this car for repairs. It was under warranty by chrysler and I took it in for the oil issue and they said they saw no problem, that warranty ran out and my extended one kicked in and they said it had oil leaks and...

Drivers side window, electrical issues, abs, drivers side window has been repaired by dealer 4 times. Still not fixed, leaks water, electrical issues with door locks and lights coming on and off, and lighter also previously repaired, still a problem, brakes and rotors must be changed once a year, leaks oil.

This is the fifth engine in the raleigh area that has had this failure between 60000 and 80000 miles, it is similar to the failure noted with the similar neon engine, and a technical bulletin has been released. *Ak

Radiator: the whole inside of the pipes; hoses; radiator is rusted. Every time I get an oil change I must get my radiator flushed and the coolant is completely rust color. It takes about 6 flushes for it to be clear again. This is abnormal for a car with only 86000 miles on it. I want all the hoses and radiator replaced free of charge. Convertible top: all the seems have come unstitched...I've had to glue them with special glue. The edging around the windows leaks. This should not happen!

Vehicle stalls at any speed and at any time. Vehicle was at dealer's 20 times. Cannot remedy problem. *Ak

Carried my car in for an oil leak--was told by two different mechanic s@two different shops-- oil was leaking through head gasket--both told me they had seen a lot of the same designed cars with this same problem--the car has never ran hot--one guy had the same model as mine come into his shop on the same day as mine with the same problem. *Ak

After replacing head gasket, I now have rust deposits in the radiator fluid. The window in back falls with a thump when put down, and the brakes constantly squeak.
