CHRYSLER SEBRING RECALL IT'S BEEN 6 MONTHS SINCE I GOT THIS RECALL NOTICE. THANK FULLY I HAVE A SPARE CAR TO USE AS I HAVE A 5 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AND I REFUSE TO DRIVE HER IN THIS CAR. I REFUSE TO BECAUSE IF SOMETHING DID HAPPEN, CHRYSLER WOULD BLAME ME FOR RIDING IN A RECALLED CAR THAT'S BEEN IN A RECALL FOR SIX MONTHS NOW! THIS IS RIDICULOUS! IF THE CAR WASN'T PAID FOR,I'D SELL IT TO GET RID OF IT. I'D NEVER SELL A CAR IN A RECALL SO I AM STUCK WITH IT UNTIL THE YEAR 2020 WHEN THEY FINALLY DECIDE TO MAKE THE PART TO FIX IT. I KNOW I WILL NEVER NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHRYSLER. SHOULD HAVE JUST WENT WITH A NISSAN OR TOYOTA AND I WOULDN'T HAVE THIS PROBLEM!
