2008 Chrysler Sebring Problems & Complaints

On December 15, 2025, while driving my 2008 Chrysler Sebring in Indianapolis, Indiana, I noticed smoke coming from the driver’s side near the battery. Shortly afterward, the car completely stopped responding — the brakes and steering were unresponsive — and the vehicle caught fire in that area. I exited the car safely, and the fire department responded and extinguished the fire. The exact cause of the fire is unknown, but I suspect a battery or electrical component failure. No warning lights appeared prior to the incident, except for the smoke I noticed. The incident has not yet been inspected by a dealer, manufacturer, or insurance representative. If inspection is needed, the affected parts can be examined in the tow lot, but much of the vehicle has been destroyed, and there is very little left of the car due to the fire. The safety of myself and others was at risk due to the sudden loss of braking and steering control, as well as the vehicle catching fire while on the road. The problem has not been reproduced, and I am reporting it to ensure the incident is recorded for safety monitoring and potential investigation.

I have a 2008 Chrysler Sebring Sedan. The radiator is leaking fluid that splashes all over the wires causing a burning smell. I later found out that this is caused by an electrical issue with the sensors. Similarly my tire pressure sensors are fried. These issues have eroded wires causing my A/C and Cruise Control systems to malfunction. My power windows have issues sometimes I can't get them to roll up or down. My internal lights in my car flickering on and off. The mess from the radiator is also causing my engine to overheat. I am now having issues with oil pan leaks as a result of too much pressure from the engine. I see that only certain VINS were added to the recall list. I strongly suggest that NHTSA add other VINS to the recall list, especially mine, since I'm having those exact same issues. I see that there are complaints about this year make and model as recent as last year. Why hasn't the recall list been updated? Please update the recall list. Please and thank you!!

The contact owns a 2008 Chrysler Sebring. The contact stated that while parking the vehicle, the transmission was shifted to park(P), but after releasing the brake pedal, the vehicle rolled forward. The contact then noticed that the instrument panel indicated that the transmission was in drive(D). The contact depressed the brake pedal again, but after releasing the brake pedal, the failure recurred. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact applied the parking brake to prevent the vehicle from rolling and was able to park the vehicle; however, the transmission later became stuck in park (P). The contact used a code reader and retrieved DTC: P2004, P0700, and P0562. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, but informed the contact that there was no recall associated with the VIN. The failure mileage was approximately 90,000.

The car loss compression in the middle of driving. Try to crank it but it drains the battery. Also, I bought the car a year the buy here pay here company ripped out the lemon law page for Tennessee but kept the other pages in.

See attached document for complaint.

Engine frequently stalls while driving. I've had my car shut off while I'm driving many times, the steering wheel and brakes lock up and it makes it hard to get off the street to safety. This happens a LOT. It is very dangerous and scary. I get anxiety everytime I drive because I'm scared of it happening again. My car once turned off in the middle of a busy intersection while trying to turn. It came on after about 45 seconds but it was terrifying. Battery often dies (just replaced it). Horn would go off randomly without stopping for a long time. I had to disconnect the horn (on both sides) because it would keep randomly going off with no way to stop it. Cruise control stopped working one day. Sometimes it comes up when I press cruise control but it turns off when I try setting a speed. Drivers window broke inside, I think something snapped inside the door. I've had it replaced 3 times but it keeps breaking. A/C makes an awful grinding noise sometimes, but it goes away if I turn the A/C off then back on. Also with the A/C, a door or something inside the dash will get stuck every so often and it makes a LOUD clicking like noise but it goes away after about 20 seconds (something to do with the actuator?). Brake light will come on sometimes when I stop. It goes away shortly after I start driving again. ABS light has been on my dash for a few months now. Most of these issues have been happening for over a year now. Most of this shows up under a recall from 2008, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: WIRING. It doesn't show up under my VIN number but I'm having the same exact problems.

I was on my way to work. All the warning light appeared on my dash. Then all the warning light, radio, speedometer gage and all head light and tail lights went out. I was driving in the dark. My engine bogged down no power. I was barley moving. I replaced the battery no difference. I replaced the alternator worked for 3 minutes and then the car was back to the same as before. I contacted a nearby mechanic facility they told me that it was most definitely the fuse panel under the hood. That's its not a recall but a lawsuit replacement. I notified the manufacturer and they told me my Vin number was not under recall. I'm confused on what to do not. I'm in no way able to purchase a new vehicle at this time. Nor spend hundreds or thousands in repairs. Please help.

Brakes stopped working while in drive

purchased may 15th.and now car sits in my apartment parking lot as a roadblock for all tenants since May 27th. 2008sebring started fine.drove 2 miles roundtrip, vehicle ride was rough upon turning into residence thankfully I was not on the street in traffic when the car decided to stop ,the windows were down I still have not been able to get them rolled up .lights instrument panel lights went haywire flashing,ding chime sound continuous. the backdash illuminate light has never worked. wont accept jump from cables,has power in areas under hood, charged to 12v on charger able to get code (DTC-U1403 implausible fuel level signal. Just like the recall of the wiring issue it's similar. The week this happened the tire pressure indicator in the lower left corner of Dash was lit up and the cruise control light would come on but when engaged it would not drive at the limit set only reduce is speed the stereo CD changer didn't work I thought it was just because it was old the cigarette lighter which I used for my power source the light on that device would flicker in and out showing it wasn't getting a good connection the key would get stuck in the ignition or do a continuous storage where you it would not spring back as it should you'd have to turn it off and then try to restart it the battery in the fob work just fine before all of this took place now the battery is dead in the fob as well. it won't hold a charge I want to know how it's going to get fixed and with whose money?? $95 for Diagnostic.while covering windows later that night,I was able to see a dim red light where the tire pressure indicator was lit up at the fuses are fine the battery is 6 months old but it is constantly draining I it won't stay charged I can't get it out of gear it to put it in neutral to move it anywhere. Main purpose was to get me to my doctor appointments now I can't even do that& I haven't been able to do that.. i think this recall has Revisited. its unsafe

While driving down the road the Lexus it locks the steering wheel to keep it from moving at all broke almost causing me to have an accident when making the turn it will not pass safety inspection now because of the broken piece inside the steering column that’s where I was going to get it the safety inspection for our state when it broke. I’m not sure exactly what it broke but this is a safety issue. I uploaded a picture but a video would probably be better but I couldn’t send it attach that I can send you one if you would like please respond to me and let me know

The contact owns a 2008 Chrysler Sebring Convertible. The contact stated that while at a stop light, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact was able to restart the vehicle. The contact called the local dealer and was referred to another dealer for assistance. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The contact stated the failure was related to the NHTSA Campaign Number: 07V473000 (Engine and Engine Cooling). The approximate failure mileage was 106,000.

No incident as of yet my air bag light on a ND there is ticking from the passenger side of the compartment glove box and the drivers seat moves when coming to a stop

Ticking noise coming from passengers compartment glove box seat belt light on and seat moves when come to a stop and driver side door handle just came off on the passenger side can't open the door from outside of vehicle there should be recall for this

In February 2021 my car wouldn’t stop, tried to give it a jump and it still wouldn’t start. Replaced the battery and it started working again. In April 2021 my engine light came on. I got a diagnostic and the error code read: P2016 Intake Manifold Runner Position Sensor/Switch Circuit Low Bank 1. I didn’t get it fixed. Shortly after, I began hearing a faint crackling noise and noticed when I would drive on turn pikes my a red brake symbol would briefly pop up on my dash board and then go away. In May 2021 my horn stopped working and front right turn signal light stopped working. I tried to get a new one installed it wouldn’t work. I was told it could be an electrical issue. In July 2021 my right low beam head light stopped working. I tried to get a new bulb installed and it still wouldn’t work. At this time I was told the same thing, that it seems like there may be an electrical issue. This month, November 2021, a few days ago on Monday November 1st, I began noticing an acceleration issue in the morning. I would press the accelerator and it wouldn’t pick up until a few seconds later, it was like a delay. Later that day while I was driving on the free way a red flash symbol with lines between it began flashing on my car and my car wouldn’t drive over 20 mph. I pulled over. Shortly after I turned my car back on and it began driving semi normal and I was able to get home. I tried out my car the next day and in the morning the same thing happened again. The red flash symbol with 2 lines on the side of it began flashing on my dashboard and my car wouldn’t go over 20 mph. I’m not sure what the issue is but when I looked up what the red flashing symbol, I noticed a few others who had a similar experience with their 2008 Chrysler Sebring which made me want to look up whether there was a recall and I found out there was but when I searched whether my car was eligible through my VIN number it said there was none unrepaired.

The contact owns a 2008 Chrysler Sebring. The contact stated that while driving approximately 60 MPH, the vehicle suddenly stalled. The contact waited for a while for the vehicle to cool off before being able to operate the vehicle as intended. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact had taken the vehicle to a certified mechanic who replaced the alternator, battery, and TIPM however, the failure continued. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 23,000.

My TPS light has been on for quite some time and after a short time since the first time it appeared my issue worsens everyday. My car STALLS, not only when I am stopped at a light, but even when I am driving at high speeds and the Check Engine light stays on all the time and blinks and dings at times and now the airbag light is on as well and blinks and dings all the time while the car is started. I took the car to get check for error codes, but none come up when the diagnostics is ran.

THE DOOR LOCKING MACHANIZISM HAS FAILED . THE AIR BAG LITE STAYS ON...

AIR BAG LIGHTS AND DOOR LOCKING MECHANIZISM FAILING

MY WIN MODULE IS NO GOOD OR MY CARS COMPUTER. WHEN I DRIVE MY CAR SHUTS OFF.

THE VEHICLE STALLS AND JERKS BACK FOR UP TO 2 SECONDS. HOWEVER, THESE TWO SECONDS CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS ON A ROADWAY AS DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS IT MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

WON'T SHIFT OUT OF PARK

FRONT SUSPENSION CROSS-MEMBER-SUB FRAME TOTALLY RUSTED OUT, CAR HAS 86,000 MILES ON IT, WAS GARAGE KEPT A LOT, CAR IS IN GOOD SHAPE AND SUB FRAME IS ONLY THING RUSTED OUT, PARTS AROUND IT LOOKS NEW, LOOK AT PICTURE, THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL OR CHRYSLER SHOULD PAY FOR IT,NEVER SEEN ANYTHING RUST LIKE THIS,VERY DANGEROUS DRIVING LIKE THIS

GEAR SHIFT PROBLEMS IT'S STUCK IN PARK

MY CAR CRANKS AND STARTS, THEN DIES ABOUT 2 SECONDS LATER. AFTER SEVERAL TRIES, IT USUALLY STARTS. HOWEVER, I HAVE HAD IT INTO A CHRYSLER DEALER TWICE WITHOUT THEM FINDING ANYTHING WRONG. IT USUALLY DECIDES TO RUN JUST FINE WHILE IN THE SHOP. IT WILL OFTEN GO FOR A FEW MONTHS, THEN START REPEATING THIS SCENARIO. THIS HAS BEEN ON-GOING FOR ABOUT A YEAR.

I TOOK THE VEHICLE AFTER PURCHASE TO THE SHOP TO LOOK OVER AND SELLER AGREED THAT HE WOULD COVER THE COST FOR "SENSOR" ISSUE AS HE STATED! THE CAR NEEDS A CAMSHAFT AND DUE TO THE AGE OF THE VEHICLE THE MECHANIC STATED IF THAT PART IS REPLACED IT WILL POSSIBLY NEED A TRANSMISSION AS WELL AS A NEW ENGINE. THEREFORE THE REPAIRS WOULD EXCEED THE VALUE OF THE VEHICLE OR NOT WORK AT ALL AND WASTE ALL THAT MONEY. CAR HAD ISSUES STARTING FROM DAY 1 TOO.

THE CONVERTIBLE ROOF WOULD OPEN WITH PAUSING. THE TRUNK WAS STUCK OPEN NOT CLOSING BUT YOU COULD HEAR MOTOR. NOW TRUNK CLOSED AND STAY CLOSED WITH NO MOTOR SOUND. CONVERTIBLE TOP ISN'T OPENING BUT WHEN CAR DRIVES AT 30MPH THE ROOF FLIES OPEN. THE DASHBOARD LIGHT WOULD GO OFF AND ON WHILE DRIVING,CAUSING UNABLE TO SEE MPH OR ANYTHING. I CAN NOT DRIVE DUE TO FEAR OF BEING IN A ACCIDENT OR CAUSING ONE SINCE THE CAR IS MALFUNCTIONING AND THE ROOF WILL FALL OFF ON ROUTINE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY WITH SPEED LIMITS THE CAR CAN'T EXCEED.

MY HUSBAND AND I ARE EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS RECENTLY WITH THE CAR STAHLING OUT AND OR GETTING STUCK IN LOW GEAR WHILE DRIVING ON THE HWY, IT WAS TERRIFYING! WE ARE CURRENTLY NOT AT HOME AND HAVE A 10 HOUR DRIVE BACK HOME WHILE DRIVING THIS EXTREMELY UNSTABLE CAR AND AM HONESTLY SCARED TO DEATH WE ARE GOING TO GET IN AN ACCIDENT! THIS IS THE 3RD BATTERY SWAP WE'VE DONE IN 3 MONTHS BUT ONLY HAVE LAST 2 RECEIPTS. WE HAVE DONE RESEARCH AND THIS CAR HAS HAD ELECTRICAL RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM HOWEVER APPARENTLY OUR VIN DONT MATCH UP TO THE RECALL. I DONT UNDERSTAND IT, THIS IS EXTREMELY HORRIBLE BUSINESS FROM CHRYSLER AND AS SOON AS WE CAN GET HOME HOPEFULLY SAFELY.. WE WONT BUY ANOTHER. PLEASE HELP FAST!

THE CAR TURNS OFF AFTER DRIVING 30 MINUTES,THE HEADLIGHTS TURN OFF AND ON AT RANDOM TIMES,THE HONK STARTS HONKING RANDOMLY. *TR

SAFETY SPRING BROKE NOT ALLOWING SHIFTER TO MOVE OUT OF PARK WILE TRANSMISSION WAS STILL IN NEUTRAL. *TR

I TOOK OFF FROM STOPPING AT A RED LIGHT MY 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING CONVERTIBLE SHIFTED THE FIRST GEAR AND THEN LOCKED UP IN 2ND GEAR I CAN ONLY CRUISE AT 35 MILES PER HOUR AT 3000 RPM I PULLED OVER TURN THE KEY SWITCH OFF IT STARTED IT BACK UP IT SHIFTED FINE UNTIL I GOT DID THE THIRD RED LIGHT THEN IT LOCKED UP AGAIN THEY'RE CALLING THIS LIMP MODE I HAVE SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT THE SEBRINGS HAVE MAJOR PROBLEMS BUT YET THERE IS NO RECALL SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE MY CAR ONLY HAS 140,000 ORIGINAL MILES ON IT 11 YEAR OLD CARS ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO DO THIS

MY 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP SINCE NOVEMBER 9, 2019. DEFECTIVE TIPM. THE STARTER HAS CAUGHT FIRE 3 TIMES. VEHICLE STALLS OUT AND LEAVES YOU IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. BATTERY HAS BEEN REPLACED. IGNITION SWITCH IS GETTING HOT WHEN KEYS ARE IN AND THE KEY GETS STUCK IN IGNITION. TIPM WAS REPLACED. CAR IS STILL NOT RUNNING DUE TO DEALERSHIP NOT KNOWING WHAT NEW PARTS TO TRY. HAVE ALSO HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH COOLING SYSTEMS/FAN NOT WORKING PROPERLY.

ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS INCLUDE POWER SEAT INOPERABLE; CIG LIGHTER/ELECTRIC PORT INOPERABLE; RANDOM ALARM SOUNDING; POWER TOP SHOWS TOP WITH TRUNK INOPERABLE.

3 SEPERATE BUT RELATED EVENTS. MY HORN BEGAN HONKING AT RANDOM TIMES, EVENTUALLY I COULD NOT TURN IT OFF WHILE IN MY PARKING GARAGE AT WORK. ENDED UP REMOVING BATTERY CONNECTION TO STOP THE HONKING. WHEN I ARRIVED HOME I DISCONNECTED THE HORNS. MY WIPERS RANDOMLY DO NOT WORK. I'VE HAD TO RELY ON RAINX. SOMETIMES THEY WORK AND OTHER TIMES I CANT TURN THEM OFF. THEY SOMETIMES STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDOW. LAST ISSUE WAS COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER WHILE DRIVING AT 70MPH. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER. STRANGE THING WAS IT STARTED RIGHT BACK UP. BUT 10 MILES LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED. BASED ON THESE 3 THINGS HAPPENING WITHIN THE LAST MONTH I THINK IT IS PART OF THE TIPM MODULE. MANY COMPLAINTS AND THIS ITEM IS PART OF A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT AND A VOLUNTARY RECALL FOR OTHER CHRYSLER VEHICLE IN THE SAME YEAR RANGE AS MY VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO ACCELERATE.

SEATBELT LIGHT ON DASH KEEPS CHIMING AS IF I DON'T HAVE MY SEAT BELT ON. THIS CHIMES AND LIGHT COMES ON RANDOMLY WHILE IN MOTION. OR PARKED.

HORN STARED GOING OFF ON ITS OWN, WHILE DRIVING OR JUST SITTING, THEN THE TRANSMISSION STARTED LAGGING, RPMS DROP WHILE I'M DRIVING AND AM UNABLE TO GET BACK UP TO SPEED FOR A MINUTE. I DRIVE ON THE INTERSTATE DAILY FOR WORK AND BOTH OF THESE ARE A HUGE HAZARD FOR ME AND OTHER DRIVERS. I ASSUME THE PROBLEMS ARE RELATED BEING AS THEY BOTH WENT CRAZY AT THE SAME TIME. WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE TO WORK MY CAR JUST SORT OF DIED WITHOUT DIEING THE RPMS DROPPED AND THE CAR TRIED TO DIE BUT DIIDNT. THE GAS PED STOPPED WORKING WHILE THIS WAS OCCURING AND I WAS UNABLE TO GET BACK UP TO SPEED. IT EVENTUALLY KICKED OUT OF IT BUT DID IT AGAIN THE FOLLOWING WEEK, DRIVING OUT OF MY PARKING LOT AT WORK RPMS DROPPED AND WAS UNABLE TO USE MY GAS PED. I GOTIT AGAIN TO GET OUT OF IT BUT ALL ITS GOING TO TAKE IS THIS HAPPENING AND A CAR BEHIND ME AND AND ACCIDENT WILL HAPPEN

WHILE DRIVING THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS FLICKERED THEN WENT OUT, MY CONVERTIBLE TOP HAS A MALFUNCTION AND WILL NOT OPEN AND THE DOOR LOCKS UNLOCK AND LOCK ON THEIR OWN.

WHILE DRIVING - ELECTRICAL ISSUES. FUEL GAGE DOES NOT WORK. DASHBOARD DISPLAY LIGHTS GO OUT INTERMITTENTLY, POWER WINDOW ISSUES, TIRE PRESSURE (TPMS) LIGHT COMES ON,

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING CONVERTIBLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE VIN WAS EXCLUDED FROM MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER: K16 AND THAT THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT INTERLOCK SPRING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 168,347.

MY CAR SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY AS I WAS DRIVING, THE STEERING WASN'T WORKING, I COULDN'T TURN THE WHEELS AT ALL. THE BREAKS WOULD NOT WORK EITHER, NO MATTER HOW HARD I PRESSED ON THE BREAKS THE PEDAL WOULD NOT MOVE. LUCKILY I WASN'T GOING FAST OR DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY CAUSE THAT WOULD HAVE KILLED ME.

ALL WARNING LIGHTS ARE ON. THE HEAD LIGHTS ARE GOING OFF. HAPPENS IN MOTION AND STATIONARY.

I RAN MY VIN TO SEARCH FOR ANY RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE I PURCHASED LAST YEAR AND THE DESCRIPTION FOR MY VIN COMES UP AS A 2008 CHRYSLER 200, BUT MY CAR IS A 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING. IF A VIN IS A UNIQUE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER FOR EACH CAR WHAT DOES TL IT MEAN THAT THE DESCRIPTION DOESN'T MATCH MY CAR?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING CONVERTIBLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ENGAGE INTO THE DRIVE POSITION AND THE GEAR SHIFT WAS STUCK IN NEUTRAL. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (DARCARS ORANGE PARK CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM, 7233 BLANDING BLVD, JACKSONVILLE, FL 32244, (904) 777-5500) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SHIFTER CABLE NEEDED TO REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 101,000.

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND THE HORN BEGAN CHIRPING RANDOMLY OVER THE COURSE OF ABOUT 30 MINUTES. AFTER 30 MINUTES OF RANDOM "CHIRPS" THE HORN ENGAGED AND DID NOT STOP. THIS WAS WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. THE HORN STILL BLEW. I OPENED UP THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND TAPPED THE FUSE BOX/RELAYS AND THE HORN STOPPED. I'VE READ ONLINE THAT MULTIPLE OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE AND I WOULD LIKE THE NHTSA TO INVESTIGATE. THIS POSES A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY RISK FOR MYSELF AND THOSE AROUND ME. ALSO, THE HORN NO LONGER WORKS FROM THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN DEPRESSED.

CHRYSLERS ARE KNOWN FOR THEIR TERRIBLE TRANSMISSIONS, BUT THIS IS OUR SECOND CHRYSLER SEBRING IN THIS YEAR RANGE (SAME ENGINE/TRANS MODELS), BOTH WITH THE SAME ISSUE. WHEN SHIFTING FROM OR THRU NEUTRAL, (EG. REVERSE TO DRIVE), THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS SO HARD THAT IT CAN LIFT THE ENGINE AND SNAP A MOUNT. THIS CAUSES THE CAR TO MAKE KNOCKING NOISES WHEN SHIFTING (ANY GEAR), AND CAUSES THE CAR TO LURCH IN AND OUT OF GEAR, NEUTRAL, AND PARK.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED LAST NOVEMBER FROM A PRIVATE SELLER. SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE AIRBAG CLOCK SPRING, BATTERY CABLES, AND NOW I AM EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH MY WINDOWS AND COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR. MY PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW HAS FALLEN INTO THE DOOR SEVERAL TIMES DO TO A FAULTY TRACK. MY DRIVER SIDE WINDOW HAS COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING DO TO A FAULTY BUTTON. AND LASTLY, MY COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR FAILED ON ME 2 MONTHS AGO. I CANNOT DRIVE ANY FURTHER THAN A MILE WITHOUT MY CAR REDLINING. I CHECKED FOR A LEAK IN MY HOSES AND SEALS AND HAVE FOUND NOTHING. MY ANTIFREEZE RESERVOIR BURNS SO HOT IT ACTUALLY EVAPORATES THE ANTIFREEZE. I HAVE GONE THROUGH 6 FULL SIZE BOTTLES OF ANTIFREEZE IN A 2 MONTHS PERIOD. I HAVE A NOTICEABLY HIGH IDLE WHENEVER THE CAR STARTS TO GET THE BELOW THE FULL LINE AND NOW I HAVE AN ENGINE PING. THE OVERHEAT ISSUE OCCURS WHENEVER IT DECIDES IT WANTS TO. MY DASHBOARD DISPLAY GOES IN AND OUT INTERMITTENTLY AND MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS TURN ON AT RANDOM WHENEVER I USE MY SIGNAL TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. THIS VEHICLE IS FULL OF ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS THAT I CANNOT AFFORD TO FIX. THE TRUTH IS, I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE WITH THE SMALL CUT OF LIFE INSURANCE MONEY I GOT THE MY MOTHER PASSED AWAY. I AM DISABLED AND THIS IS CURRENTLY MY ONLY SOURCE OF TRANSPORTATION. THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME SERIOUS LOOKING INTO THE CHRYSLER SEBRING FROM 2006 ON UP. I CANNOT BE THE ONLY ONE EXPERIENCING THIS MYRIAD OF PROBLEMS.

MY CAR WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY, AS I WAS CLOSING THE CONVERTIBLE ROOF, I HEARD A POPPING SOUND TWO DIFFERENT TIMES. ONCE I MADE SURE THE WINDOWS AND ROOF CLOSED I LOOKED TO SEE THE BACK SEAT ARM REST PANELS HAD BLOWN AWAY FROM THE FRAME OF THE CAR. I HAVE IT AT A DEALERSHIP NOW WAITING TO HEAR THERE EXPLANATION THAT WOULD CAUSE THIS TO HAPPEN.

WHEN MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN CAR QUIT RUNNING AND TURNED OFF

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR FLASHED ON AND OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED BY THE DEALER (DARCARS CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF MARLOW HEIGHTS, 5060 AUTH WAY, SUITLAND, MD 20746, 301-423-5111) FOR THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATING TWO YEARS AGO. THE FAILURE WAS RECURRING AND THE OWNER WAS AFRAID THAT THE AIR BAGS COULD DEPLOY INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 91,590.

DRIVERS TENSIONER DOESNT LATCH, WARNING SIGNAL WONT STOP.

DOOR COMES OFF TRACK WHEN YOU OPEN AND CLOSE IT.

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE AS IS IN FEBRUARY OF THIS YEAR. THE CONVERTIBLE TOP GETS STUCK IN THE UP POSITION AND DOESN'T GO BACK DOWN. I CANNOT SEE OTU OF THE REAR VIEW AND OBVIOUSLY CANNOT OPERATE THE VEHICLE SAFELY. I CONTACTED A DEALERSHIP AND CHRYSLER AND BOTH TOLD ME THE RECALL HAD BEEN ADDRESSED IN 2008 (THEY LLOOKED IT UP BY VIN). HOWEVER, IT OBVIOUSLY WASN'T SINCE THE TOP IS STILL STICKING. THEY BASICALLY TOLD ME TOO BAD. HOWEVER, THEY WERE UNABLE TO TELL ME WHICH DEALERSHIP HAD MARKED IT AS A COMPLETED AND REPAIRED RECALL WHICH IS STRANGE. I WOULD LIKE IT FIXED ASAP SINCE I CANNOT OPERATE THE VEHICLE WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO SEE OUT THE REAR WINDSHIELD! IT WAS IN A PARKING LOT WHEN THIS HAPPENED.

THE CAR WILL REV AT A STOP LIGHT AND OCCASIONALLY SHUT DOWN. PERIODICALLY, THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START AFTER A FEW HOURS OF DRIVING REQUIRING A JUMP START WE HAVE REPLACED THE BRAKE SWITCH SEVERAL TIMES AND THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL NOT WORK

JUN'17 INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTING QUIT OPERATION OR INTERMITTENT. VERY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. NEED FLASHLIGHT TO SEE DASH. TOOK TO MECHANIC AND HE IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE ON INSTRUMENT PANEL PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD ON SAME VEHICLES.

ELECTRIC SEAT POSITIONING GUIDE BAR SLIPS FORWARD WHEN BRAKING. THIS OCCURS FOR BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEAT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

MAYBE SOMETHING WITH THE FUEL. WHILE CAR IS STOPPED, IT WILL SUDDENLY JUMP. IF I DIDN'T HAVE MY FOOT ON BRAKE THE CAR WOULD TAKE OFF.THE ENGINE SPEEDS UP WITHOUT ME STEPPING ON THE GAS PEDAL. THE CAR SUDDENLY STALLS AND SHUTS OFF AT A STOP SIGN OR TRAFFIC LIGHT. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES. OVER THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF. I DON'T UNDERSTAND ABOUT PICTURES. THERE ARE NO PICTURES

BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY THE ENGINES SUDDENLY SHUT DOWN BUT RESTARTED WITHOUT AN ISSUE. LATER THAT DAY THE RED WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND THE ENGINE STARTED TO HAVE NO POWER AND THEN STALED I WAS ABLE TO MOVE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SAW THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR LIGHT WAS ON (WITCH I LOOKED UP IN OWNER MANUAL. WAS ABLE TO GET IT STARTED AGAIN AND DROVE IT TO MY MECHANIC WHO TESTED IT AND SAID I NEEDED A THROTTLE BODY.T HAT WAS REPLACED NOW 4 DAYS LATER I WAS ON A HOV LANE DOING 65 LIGHT CAME ON ENGINE SPUTTERED BUT DIDN'T STALL ARRIVED AT DESTINATION WHEN I GOT BACK IN CAR LIGHT WAS OUT AND CAR STARTED. DRIVING HOME I HAD TO PULL OVER SEVERAL TIMES WHEN LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED . MY CONCERN IS DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ESPECIALLY WHERE I LIVE THERE ARE LONG TUNNELS I TRAVEL THROUGH HOPEFULLY IT DOESN'T DO THIS TO ANYONE DRIVING THROUGH THEM AND ANYWHERE THAT WOULD DEFINITELY CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT , THE INITIAL REPAIR TO REPLACE THROTTLE BODY WAS $271 AND AN ADDITIONAL $88 FOR SAME ISSUE NOW THROTTLE PEDAL NEEDS REPLACED COST AT THIS TIME UNKNOWN

KEY SWITCH STICKS ON START , MOVES TO ACC ,ON ,FREELY. CANNOT BELIEVE CHRYSLER ISN'T REPLACING THE SWITCH AS IT IS DOING THE SAME THING THAT I READ THE 700,000 THEY RECALLED.

BOUGHT BATTERY AND SOMETHG IS STILL DRAINING AND IT KEEPS HSPPENING

WHEN I START THE CAR THERE IS A LOUD KNOCKING NOISE IN THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT AREA. THUS WENT ON RANDOMLY WHEN START OR PARK THE CAR. NOW THE AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON WHILE THE CAR IS ON. THE NOISE WOULD LAST A COUPLE MINUTES AT A TIME

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED OVERHEATING WHILE BEING OPERATED AT LOW SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE WIRING WAS DEFECTIVE AND THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. TYSON MOTOR CORPORATION (1 SW FRONTAGE RD SHORWOOD, IL) WAS ALSO CONTACTED; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 07V473000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING) AND 08V152000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) AS POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS TO THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 80,000.

THE FRONT, ESPECIALLY DRIVERS, DOOR WINDOW LIFT MECHANISM BREAKS, CAUSING THE WINDOW TO RETREAT DOWN, LEAVING THE WINDOW IN AN OPEN POSITION. THIS HAS BEEN FIXED 5 TIMES AND KEEPS BREAKING. A DEFINITE DESIGN FLAW.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT OF MY VEHICLE CAME ON TWO DAYS AGO WITHOUT THIS VEHICLE HAVING ANY ACCIDENT. I STARTED THE VEHICLE IN THE MORNING AND AS SOON AS I LEFT MY DRIVEWAY THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ONE. THE AIRBAG IS HOWEVER INTACT AND HAS NEVER BEEN DEPLOYED. I AM JUST SURPRISE AN AIRBAG WILL COME ONE WITHOUT THE VEHICLE HAVING ANY CRASH.

THIS MORNING I GOT TO WORK AND PUT MY VEHICLE TO PARK AND WHEN TRYING TO MOVE THE SHIFT BACK TO DRIVE THE SHIFT DOES NOT MOVE. TRYING TO PARK PARKED MY VEHICLE. SHIFTER CANNOT MOVE FROM PARK POSITION. DOING MY OWN RESEARCH I FOUND THAT, DODGE/CHRYSLER, ALREADY HAVE SOME RECALLS ON THIS ISSUE. RECALL #K39. I CALLED CHRYSLER GROUP RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER AT 1-800-853-1403 AND THEY INFORMED THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED UNDER #K39 RECALL. IT IS A BIG COINCIDENCE THEY HAVE A RECALL ON 2005 THROUGH 2007 MODEL YEAR DODGE CHARGER, MAGNUM AND CHRYSLER 300 EQUIPPED WITH A FLOOR SHIFTER, BUT NOT ON THIS VEHICLE. I WILL KEEP THIS VEHICLE PARK WHEN AN INVESTIGATION IS CONDUCTED ON THIS ISSUE. IF CHRYSLER USED THE SAME PARTS ON THIS VEHICLE AND OTHERS VEHICLES IN RECALL #K39, IT WILL BE VERY LIKELY THEY NEED TO INVESTIGATE OTHER VEHICLES LIKE MINE AND ISSUE THE SAME RECALL. PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE CONVERTIBLE TOP BECAME STUCK IN MID AIR.

THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO SCHUMACHER CHRYSLER, DODGE, JEEP, RAM OF DELRAY (2102 S FEDERAL HIGHWAY, STE A DELRAY BEACH, FL 33483), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 08V152000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) IN 2007. NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,800.

FAULTY OR NO HEM FLANGE SEALER IN THE PAINT SHOP WAS USED TO PREVENT WATER SEEPING UNDER PAINT ON TWO PLACES OF THE FRONT HOOD AND ONCE PLACE ON THE LEFT REAR FENDER. THIS HAS CAUSED THE PAINT TO BUBBLE IN ALL THREE LOCATIONS, ALLOWED WATER TO GATHER IN ALL THREE PLACES AND IS CAUSING RUST DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE, NOT TO MENTION THE UGLY APPEARANCE OF BUBBLED PAINT AND POTENTIAL FOR CONTINUED RUST DAMAGE! THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR THAT SHOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED AND I'M SURE OTHER VEHICLES MADE AT THE SAME TIME EXPERIENCE SIMILAR ISSUES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING EQUIPPED WITH FIRESTONE PRIMEWELL TIRES, SIZE: 215/65/R15. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE CONSTANTLY PLACED AIR IN THE TIRES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE HORN SOUNDED ON ITS OWN, THE TPMS INDICATOR ILLUMINATED, AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, WAITED TEN MINUTES, AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. THE HORN SOUNDED AGAIN AFTER A FEW MINUTES. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE CONTACT'S HOUSE AND WAS KEPT IN THE GARAGE FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE DEALER (LANDERS CHRYSLER/DODGE IN SOUTH HAVEN, MISSISSIPPI) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TPMS FAILED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 94,000.

TOOK VEHICLE IN TO HAVE THE BALL JOINT TAKEN CARE OF. MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT THE DEALER SOLD ME A CAR WITH A VERY ROTTED SUBFRAME AND THAT THE CAR IS IN AN UNSAFE CONDITION TO DRIVE. I WAS TAKEN TO SEE THE SUBFRAME. THERE ARE SEVERAL CRACKS AS WELL AS LARGE HOLES. THEY WOULD NOT DO THE BALL JOINTS BECAUSE IT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THE SUBFRAME TO BREAK COMPLETELY. IF THE FRAME WOULD BREAK WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, IT COULD BE DEADLY. CHRYSLER HAS BEEN AWARE OF THIS ISSUE, BUT, EXTENDED WARRANTIES ON ONLY THREE OF THEIR VEHICLE MODELS WITH THIS ISSUE. SEBRINGS WERE NOT ON THE LIST. MY SON IS WILLING TO GO UNDER THE CAR FOR PICTURES IF NEEDED.

THIS CAR IS A DEATHTRAP , AND ACCELERATES AT HIGH SPEEDS AT ANY GIVEN TIME WITHOUT WARNING !!!! COULD DIE OR WIND UP KILLING SOMEONE . LOOKS LIKE IT HAS BEEN KNOWN FOR YEARS AND NOTHING AS COME OF IT! JUST BOUGHT THE CAR, HAD IT SHIPPED TO MY STATE & I CANNOT EVEN DRIVE IT! AND CANNOT SELL IT TO ANYONE AS ITS DANGEROUS. NOONE CAN FIND A FIX FOR IT. CHRYSLER PLAYED DUMB AND OVER THE YEARS CLAIMS THEY NEVER HEARD ABOUT THIS MAJOR PROBLEM , YET ITS ONLINE .. MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN THRU HELL. MAYBE EVEN A DEATH ... I NEED HELP.. OR ANSWERS...UPDATED 11/15/17 *BF UPDATED 10/4/18*JB

WHILE ADDING AIR TO A CUSTOMER'S TIRE, THE TPMS/VALVE STEM SNAPPED. ALL AIR PRESSURE WAS LOST IN THE TIRE.

--- CHRYSLER SEBRING LIMITED 2008 CONVERTIBLE --- AIRBAG LIGHT RANDOMLY COMES ON AND OFF, AND IT SEEMS TO BE RELATED TO THE PASSENGER SEAT TRACKING SENSOR. THERE IS A RECALL ON CHRYSLER SEBRING 2008, BUT IT DOESN'T COME UP FOR MY VIN NUMBER.

TAKATA RECALL, THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR SOME TIME NOW AND AS RECENTLY AS LAST MONTH MY SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON REQUIRING ME TO CHANGE THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. LAST WEEK MY STEREO WAS SHORTED OUT AND MY CRUISE CONTROL NO LONGER WORKS AND ONLY MY HIGH BEAMS ARE WORKING. TODAY MY CAR WOULD NOT START AND I TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP BECAUSE WHEN I TRIED TO START IT THE DASH FLASHED AS IF IT SHORTED OUT AND COME TO FIND OUT MY BATTERY WAS DEAD DRAINED FOR SOME REASON. THERE HAS ALSO BEEN A COUPLE OCCASIONS WHEN MY CONVERTIBLE TOP GOT STUCK IN OPEN POSITION AND WOULD NOT GO DOWN. I HAD TO WAIT ABOUT 5 MINUTES BEFORE RESTARTING CAR TO GET TOP TO CLOSE ALL THE WAY DOWN. THE CAR WAS PARKED WHEN OPENING AND CLOSING TOP. THE TIRE PRESSURE ICON IS STILL SHOWING ON DASH BOARD.

ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO MY TPMS SENSOR ON MY DRIVER SIDE STOP WORKING, NOT EVEN A MONTH LATER MY CAR STARTED STALLING. I WOULD BE AT A LIGHT, STOP SIGN, OR PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND IT WOULD JUST STALL. SO I HAD THE ALTERNATOR REPLACED AT NOT EVEN 70,000 MILES WHICH SOLVED THE STALLING ISSUE. THEN ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO I NOTICED WHEN I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE DRIVING TO TAMPA FROM ORLANDO AND I PUT THE CRUISE CONTROL ON AND MY CAR STARTED SLOWING DOWN ON I4 AND ALMOST GOT ME HIT BY A SEMI TRUCK BUT HE WAS THANKFULLY ABLE TO SWERVE INTO THE LANE BESIDE ME. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND TOLD THEM THE ISSUE AND THEY SAID WELL THERE IS A RECALL ON THE TPMS BUT YOUR VIN NUMBER DOESN'T MATCH AND TURNED ME AWAY. THEN A FEW WEEKS LATER I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY PASSENGER SIDE DOOR NOT LOCKING AND THE WINDOW GOING UP BEFORE THE DOOR WAS SHUT, AND WOULD HAVE TO MESS WITH IT TO GET THE DOOR TO ACTUALLY SHUT. THEN ABOUT 8 MONTHS AGO MY RPMS WHERE JUMPING ERECTLY AND MY DAD WHO IS A MECHANIC CLEANED ALL THE CARBON OUT IN MY MOTOR AND I WAS STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THEN TODAY MY CAR SHIFT WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK AND MY DADS FRIEND NOTICED THE CABLE IN THE MOTOR WAS POPPED OUT AND POPPED IT BACK IN. SO I DRIVE TO CLASS AND WHEN I GET ON CAMPUS AND GO TO PARK MY CAR MY VAR GETS STUCK IN REVERSE AND I HAD TO SIT IN THERE FOR OVER AN HOUR WITH MY FOOT ON THE BREAK BEFORE SOMEONE WAS ABLE TO HELP ME. THIS CAR NEEDS A SERIOUS INVESTIGATION AND CHRYSLER REFUSES TO HELP ME WHEN I HAVE LESS THAN 95,000 MILES ON THE CAR AND MY ISSUES MATCH THERE RECALL PERFECTLY. THESE ISSUES COULD LEAD ME OR SOMEONE ELSE TO GET KILLED OR SERIOUSLY HURT, BUT I GUESS THEY WONT DUE ANYTHING UNTIL ENOUGH PEOPLE GET KILLED OR INJURED TO REALIZE THERES A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE.

ON MAY 20, 2017 DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 70-80 MPH; RED LIGHTNING BOLT DASH WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. MY CAR SEEMED TO PULL BACK AND HESITATE. IT WAS DRIVING AS IF IT MAY CUT OFF. I DROVE INTO RIGHT LANE AND DROPPED SPEED TO ABOUT 55 MPH. I DID NOT STOP BECAUSE IT WAS NIGHT AND I AM A SENIOR WOMAN DRIVING ALONE ON A ROUTE I'D NEVER DRIVEN. THE CAR WOULD PULSATE AND RUN UNSTEADY WHEN IDLING A STOPS. I MADE IT HOME, TURNED CAR BACK ON AND LIGHT WENT OFF. I WENT ONLINE AND LOOKED UP THE RED LIGHT ICON AND IT SAID "ETC ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM. NOW I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR; ESPECIALLY ON THE HIGHWAYS AND INTERSTATES. ON PREVIOUS OCCASION ON A HIGHWAY DOING 60 MPH OR SO; CAR ACCELERATED AND WOULD NOT SLOW UP UNTIL IT DECIDED TO. I HAD NO CONTROL ABOUT 30- 40 SECONDS. THANK GOD I DID NOT PANIC AND DID NOT CRASH. I REPORTED TO MECHANIC AT DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED CAR. THEY SAID THEY HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING WHAT HAPPENED UNLESS I HAPPENED AGAIN. ALSO, IN MARCH I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO THE SHOP BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT START. THEY HAD TO CORRECT WIRING PROBLEM. ANOTHER PROBLEM, THEIR IS A TICKING SOUND. MECHANIC SAYS ITS SOME KIND OF FAN THAT COOLS THE AIR COMING INTO THE CAR. IT MAKES THAT TICKING SOUND EVEN IF MY CAR IS PARKED AND ENGINE TURNED OFF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING. WHILE DRIVING WITH THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE SEAT HEATER ACTIVATED, THE SEAT SUDDENLY BECAME VERY HOT. THE CONTACT TURNED OFF THE SEAT HEATER AND THE SEAT COOLED DOWN. SEVERAL DAYS LATER THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT HER COAT WAS BURNED. THE CONTACT INSPECTED THE FRONT DRIVER'S SEAT AND DISCOVERED SEVERAL BURNT SPOTS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WERE AN INSPECTOR FROM CHRYSLER INSPECTED THE VEHICLE; HOWEVER, THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED.

FRONT END KNOCK FELT THROUGH STEERING WHEEL AFTER CAR WARMS UP FOR 15 MINUTES. CAR IN MOTION OR IF YOU ROCK STEERING BACK AND FORTH.

HORN AND PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM WENT OUT ON MY 4-CYL. 2.4L 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING SEDAN ABOUT A MONTH AGO. I REPLACED THE BULB, WHICH IS LABOR INTENSIVE ON THIS CAR IN ITSELF AND THE LOW BEAM STILL DID NOT WORK. I TESTED THE NEW BULB AND IT WORKED FINE. I MOVED THE BULB TO THE DRIVERS SIDE HEADLAMP AND IT WORKED FINE. THE HARNESS FOR THE BULB CONNECTOR CARRIES A 12V CURRENT BUT STILL THE LOW BEAM DOES NOT WORK. EVERY ONLINE SEARCH POINTS TO A FAULTY TIPM(TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE). I CAN'T AFFORD A NEW ONE AT $595 AND THAT'S IF I REPLACE IT MYSELF. I'M UNABLE TO FIND A COMPATIBLE USED PART AT SALVAGE YARDS IN THE AREA AND CHRYSLER DEALER SAYS THERE IS CURRENTLY A MONTH LONG NATIONAL BACKORDER ON THE PART AND IS UNSURE IF I'LL HAVE A REPLACEMENT IN A MONTH. THIS ALONE SHOULD BE A RED FLAG THAT THERE IS AN UNDERLYING ISSUE AT CHRYSLER. IN THE MEAN TIME I CONTINUE TO SEARCH SALVAGE YARDS AND AM LOOKING FOR A WAY TO BYPASS THE TIPM TO GET THE HEADLAMP WORKING, WHICH IN ITSELF COULD STILL LEAVE ME OPEN TO OTHER FAILURES ON THE TIPM. ALL THIS SAID, I'M WONDERING IF OTHER ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS WILL START TO GO SOON AS WELL. AS IT IS I'M HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE HORN, WHICH I BELIEVE ALSO RUNS THROUGH THE TIPM.

VALVE STEM CAME OFF WHEEL. THESE ARE THE ONES THAT HAVE A SENSOR. I WAS LUCKY TO HAVE IT HAPPEN WHILE I WAS NOT DRIVING. TIRE IMMEDIATELY DEFLATED. IT HAPPENED AT THE CAR WASH WHILE BEING DRIED WITH A TOWEL.

MY BACK LIGHTS WORK AS LONG AS THE CAR IS IN PARK. BUT WHEN I SHIFT INTO DRIVE THEY GO OFF. I ONLY KNOW THIS BECAUSE OTHER DRIVERS THAT WAS DRIVING BEHIND ME TOLD ME SO. I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT IS TIPM MODULE. I DO NOT HAVE A $1000 FOR THE REPAIR SO I ONLY DRIVE IT IN THE DAY TIME

I WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT ON JUNE 19 2015 THE FRONT END OF MY CAR TOTAL LOSS MY CAR AIR BAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY. I WAS INJURED IN THIS ACCIDENT I WOULD LIKE INFORMATION ON WHAT CAN BE DONE...UPDATED 03/08/17 *BF

I WAS DRIVING AND WITH OUT WARNING A LOUD NOISE STARTED. THE CAR STOPPED ON THE CITY STREET AND COULD NOT BE MOVED. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. THIS WAS AN UNSAFE CONDITION. THE CAR WAS PUSHED TO THE CURVE OUT OF THE TRAFFIC..WITHOUT WARNING THE ENGINE PARTS BROKE DOWN. I HAD THE CAR TOLLED TO A STATION TO GET IT FIXED. I HAD TO REPLACED THE TIMING BELT, TIMING BELT TENSIONER, WATER PUMP, ANTI-FREEZE, SERPENTINE BELT, THIS COST $1,822.28.THAT WAS 09/28/2016. I HAD ONLY 74,708 MILES ON THE CAR, NOT 100,00. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEPT COMING ON. ON 11/07/16, AT A CHRYSLER DEALER, I HAD A DIAGNOSED TEST DONE. THE TECH FOUND THAT THE RIGHT CYLINDER HEAD NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE CAR HAD ONLY 75,209 MILES. NOT 100,00 MILES. IS THIS TO SOON FOR THOSE PARTS TO BREAK DOWN AND NEED TO BE REPLACED? I ALWAYS HAD MY CAR CHECK AT THE CHRYSLER DEALER FOR THE CHECK UPS AT THE RECORMENDED TIME. I RECEIVED NO WARNING THAT ANY OF THESE PARTS NEEDED TO BE CHANGED. NO WARNING. THE CAR JUST STOPPED. THIS IS DANGEROUS. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS CAR. I HAD JUST GOT OFF THE BELTWAY. I COULD HAD BEEN KILLED. THE REPLACEMENT OF THE RIGHT REAR CYLINDER HEAD IS GOING TO COST AROUND $5,000 DOLLARS. I DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY. THIS CAR SHOULD BE RECALLED THAT WITHOUT WARNING THESE PARTS WILL BRECK AND STOP THE CAR FROM RUNNING. I BROUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW, NOT USED, AND I ALWAYS TOOK MY CAR TO CHRYSLER COMPANY FOR THE REGULAR CHECK UP I HAVE THE REPAIR INVOICE AND THE DIAGNOIS REPORT, BUT I CAN'T SCAN THEM.

PASSENGER WINDOW EXPLODED IN THE DOOR WHILE TOUCHING CONTROL BUTTON FOR WINDOW TO OPEN TO ASK DIRECTIONS. HAD TO TRAVEL BY MYSELF TO MEXICO 300 MILES AWAY AND HAD TO DRIVE ALL THE WAY BACK TO LAS VEGAS WITH NO WINDOW. THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW DID THE SAME EXACT THING LAST SUMMER IN 2015. CALLED FCA CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER EVERYDAY FOR A WEEK NOW AND THEY TOLD ME MY CASE WAS BEING ESCALATED TO A CASE MANAGER. THEY WOULD NOT HELP ME. ALL I WANT IS FOR CHRYSLER TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR OF MY DEFECTIVE WINDOW. I CALLED 1-800-992-1997. THEY CALL THEMSELVES FCA CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER. THEY WERE A WASTE OF MY TIME AND EFFORT. LAST WINDOW ON DRIVER'S SIDE DID THE VERY SAME THING. I WANT SATISFACTION!!! I WANT THE WINDOW REPAIRED BY CHYRSLER ON THEM AS I REPAIRED MY LAST WINDOW BLOWOUT. CAN ANY ONE SUGGEST SOME HELP AS I REALLY NEED IT TODAY AND EVEN LAST WEEK? I'M AFRAID OF DRIVING MY OWN CAR. CHYRSLERS SHOULD EITHER BRING THEIR WINDOWS UP TO NEW STANDARDS (ELECTRICALLY) OR NOT SELL ANY TO PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THE DESERT. THEY ARE NOT SAFE!!!

TAKATA RECALL. ACCORDING TO THE AIR BAG RECALL INFO. THIS AUTO IS AMONG THE LISTED BUT THE DEALERSHIP AND YOU PEOPLE WON'T DO ANYTHING. OUR AIR BAG RED LIGHT ON THE DASH HAS BEEN ON NOW 2YRS. THE SEAT BELT RED LIGHT AND WARNING NOISE GOES ON FREQUENTLY EVEN THO IT IS SECURE. QUITE ANNOYING.

THE DASH LIGHTS GO ON AND OFF RANDOMLY. AN EASY SEARCH ON GOOGLE SHOWS THIS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW WITH THOUSANDS OF CONSUMERS AFFECTED. THIS SHOULD BE AN IMMEDIATE RECALL TO REPLACE THE 12 VOLT INVERTER WHICH IS FLAWED.

THE DEALER INSISTED THAT THE RANDOM HORN BLOWING WAS COMING FROM A DEFECTIVE TIPM RATHER THAN A PROBLEM BEHIND THE AIRBAG WITHIN THE STEERING WHEEL WHICH IS WHERE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM HAVE DETECTED THE CAUSE. THE CAR HORN BLOWS WHETHER IT IS STATIONARY OR MOVING. MECHANIC WOULD NOT CONSIDER THE POSSIBILITY OF REMOVING THE STEERING WHEEL CAP TO DETERMINE WHETHER IT WAS REALLY COMING FROM WITHIN THE STEERING WHEEL OR NOT. IT WAS JUST EASIER FOR THEM AND MORE EXPENSIVE FOR ME TO STATE THAT THE RANDOM HORN BLOWING CAME FROM THE TIPM. I RAN OUT OF THERE LIKE A BAT OUT OF HELL AFTER PAYING $280 FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC WORK! MEANWHILE, NOW I HAVE TO DRIVE THE CAR WITHOUT A HORN WHICH IS A SAFETY HAZARD.

OUR CAR WAS RUNNING FINE AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN STARTED TO OVER HEAT. FOR A WHILE IT WAS GOING THROUGH COOLANT THOUGHT IT WAS A LEAK BUT THEY DIDNT FIND ONE BUT THEN IT STOPPED USING COOLANT FROM WHAT WE CAN TELL AND IS OVERHEATING WITHIN A FEW BLOCKS. AIR STOPPED WORKING AND EVEN WITH HEAT ON IT OVER HEATS. I SAW A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE ON THESE CARS STARTING WITH THE 1996 MODEL AND THERE WERE RECALLS ON THIS SAME ISSUE ON 07-08 MODELS I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. WE TRIED THE THERMOSTAT AND THEY CHECKED OTHER THINGS FOUND NOTHING SO I WENT LOOKING TO SEE IF ONE OF THE RECALLS YOU PUT OUT A FEW YEARS AGO WAS MY CAR MAYBE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING CONVERTIBLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FAILED TO OPERATE. IN ADDITION, THE CHECK ENGINE, THE AIR BAG, THE THROTTLE BODY CONTROL AND THE DRIVER SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 08V152000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000.

HAD MY CAR GOING ON A YEAR AND I HAVE MADE MY TRIPS TO NY IN AUGUST OF 2014 A WEEK AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR AND GOING TO MI MAY OF THIS YEAR AND ONCE I TURN MY HEADLIGHTS OFF I LOSE ALL DASH LIGHTS WHEN I TURN THEM BACK ON. HAD TO USE MY PHONE FOR LIGHT JUST TO SEE MY SPEED. DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME JUST THE 2 TIMES SO FAR WHEN I TOOK MY TRIPS FROM NC N BACK

I BOUGHT THE CAR 1/02/2016 2 WEEKS LATER I AM IN MOTION I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AT A RED LIGHT IT TAKES OFF ON ITS OWN,CUTS OFF WHEN I MAKE A STOP

WHILE DRIVING AT A STEADY SPEED, VEHICLE WILL HESITATE WHEN CLIMBING AN INCLIINE OR WHEN I ACCELERATE, THIS IS NOT A STEADY HAPPENING.I HAVE TAKEN IT TO TWO DIFFERENT CHRYSLER DEALERSHIPS TO HAVE IT COMPUTER CHECKED BUT NOTHING SHOWS UP. A YOUNGER MECHANIC AT THE SECOND DEALERSHIP STATED IT SOUNDED TO HIM LIKE POSSIBLY THE CLUTCHES WERE SLIPPING AND CAUSING THE PROBLEM. SINCE IT DOESN'T SHOW UP ON THE COMPUTER HE SUGGESTED THAT I JUST CONTINUE DRIVING UNTIL SUCH TIME AS IT MAY STOP MOVING COMPLETELY AND THEN THE PROBLEM SHOULD BE ABLE TO BE FOUND.

TAKATA RECALL. DURING THE COURSE OF A YEAR SINCE I'VE PURCHASED THIS CAR, I HAVE EXPERIENCED ISSUES WITH WHAT I BELIEVE TO BE POWER STEERING. TWICE WHILE COMING TO A STOP (STOP SIGN OR LIGHT), MY STEERING WOULD LOCK ALONG WITH MY BRAKES. WHEN I TOOK IT TO A SHOP I WAS TOLD MY THERMOSTAT NEEDED REPLACED. I TOLD THEM TO FIX THE ISSUE. ON APRIL 17TH WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK A LITTLE AFTER MIDNIGHT THIS SAME ISSUE OCCURRED ONLY WHILE I WAS STILL DRIVING. I WAS ABLE TO FORCE MY WHEEL TO TURN ENOUGH TO DRIVE UP THE BEND I WAS DRIVING AROUND RATHER THAN THE SCHOOL IN FRONT OF ME. FINALLY I HIT A POLE AND MY CAR HAS BEEN RULED AS A TOTAL LOSS. I HAVE MANY CONCERNS IN REGARDS TO WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED AND WHY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THERE WAS EXCESSIVE HESITATION AND THE VEHICLE RESPONDED AS IT WOULD STALL. THERE WAS NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY, WHEN DRIVING 65 MPH OR GREATER. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 08V152000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,500.

THIS CAR HAS A FAULTY TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM). THIS CAUSED SEVERAL PROBLEMS INCLUDING: THE CAR STALLING SUDDENLY WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 50 MPH ON A STRAIGHT ROAD, THE HORN GOING OFF INTERMITTENTLY AND UNCONTROLLABLY BOTH WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND WHILE IT WAS MOVING, AND A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THAT WOULD NOT CLEAR. I REPLACED THE FAULTY TIPM AT MY OWN EXPENSE AND IT RESOLVED ALL THESE PROBLEMS. CHRYSLER HAS ISSUED RECALLS FOR TIPMS, BUT THEY HAVE NEVER RECALLED THE 2008 SEBRING. I HAVE THE ORIGINAL, FAULTY TIPM OUT OF THE CHRYSLER THAT I CAN SEND FOR TESTING AND VERIFICATION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WAS JAMMED AND REQUIRED EXCESSIVE FORCE IN ORDER TO OPEN IT.

HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR AND WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE AIR BAG SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 07V414000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES) AND 07V240000 (AIR BAGS) BUT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN BOTH. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 121,056.

I BROUGHT MY CAR IN 2009. MY LIGHTS HAVE BLINKED FROM THE START. ON AUGUST 11, 2015, I DROVE 1 HOUR AND 17 MINUTES 59.5 MILES IN MODERATE TRAFFIC. I ARRIVED AT AGENCY. I EXITED THE CAR. ABOUT 5 MINUTES LATER, I RETURNED TO MY 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING AND ENTERED MY CAR. I STARTED THE CAR AS NORMAL APPLYING THE BRAKES WHILE SHIFTING GEARS AND PUT MY CAR IN REVERSE WITH ACCELERATION. AS MY CAR WAS IN MOTION THE CAR DANGEROUSLY SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BUSY ROAD AND I HAD TO APPLY THE BRAKES QUICKLY WHILE ROLLING AND IN MOTION. MY DAD AND I PUT A DIAGNOSTIC ON THE CAR AND IT READ A CODE. WE CHECKED THE POTENTIAL PROBLEMS. THE ONLY PROBLEM WAS THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. WE REFILLED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. ON MARCH 4, 2016, I DROVE 51 MINUTES 33.4 MILES IN MODERATE TO HEAVY TRAFFIC. I ARRIVED TO A MILITARY LOCATION. I EXITED THE CAR. ABOUT 3 MINUTES LATER, I RETURNED TO MY 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING AND ENTERED MY CAR. I STARTED THE CAR AS NORMAL APPLYING THE BRAKES WHILE SHIFTING GEARS AND PUT MY CAR IN REVERSE WITH ACCELERATION. AS MY CAR WAS IN MOTION THE CAR DANGEROUSLY SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BUSY ROAD AND I HAD TO APPLY THE BRAKES QUICKLY WHILE ROLLING AND IN MOTION. AS MY CAR WAS IN MOTION THE CAR DANGEROUSLY SHUT OFF. MY DAD AND I CHECKED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND THE TRANSMISSION FLUID SEEMED OKAY THIS TIME. THE 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING DANGEROUSLY SHUTS OFF WHILE ROLLING AND IN MOTION. NO LIGHT STAYS ON DURING THE DURATION OF THE TRIPS TO WARN ME OF ANYTHING THAT MAY BE MALFUNCTIONING. THE 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING SHUTS OFF WITH NO WARNING WHILE IN MOTION. AFTER IT SHUTS OFF WHILE IN MOTION THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT COMES ON AND IT GOES OFF. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THAT I HAD BEEN TAKING MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE SINCE I BROUGHT IT. THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP HAS EXPRESSED UNCERTAINTY ABOUT FINDING THE PROBLEM. I SPOKE WITH CORPORATE WITH MY VIN AND THEY DID NOT HELP.

MY FATHER OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING LIMITED. AROUND THE YEAR 2014 AND 70,000 MILES, THE CAR STARTED TO ACT LIKE IT WAS POSSESSED. RADIO, HAZARD LIGHTS, INTERIOR LIGHTS WOULD TURN ON ALL BY THEMSELVES. MY FATHER TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. THEY TOLD HIM THAT THE RADIO STAYED AWAKE WHILE THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF AND THAT THIS WAS CAUSING A DRAW ON THE BATTERY. THEY TOLD HIM HE COULD REPLACE THE RADIO FOR $900 OR JUST PULL THE FUSE. THIS WOULD CURE THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER, THE BATTERY WAS TRASH AND IT COST HIM OVER $300 TO REPLACE. THE KNEW BATTERY DIDN'T LAST A YEAR. THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY B/C IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. HOWEVER, NOW THEY SAID, THAT AFTER THE TEST PERFORMED A DRAW TEST, THERE WAS AN INTERMITTENT DRAW OF 1 AMP OR MORE AT TIMES. THEY COULDN'T ISOLATE THE CIRCUIT AND THAT IT SEEMED TO BE SOMETHING INTERNAL TO TIPM CAUSING ISSUE. THEY SAID THEY COULD REPLACE FOR $765 BUT WOULD HAVE TO RECHECK, AND COULDN'T GUARANTEE THAT WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY RECOMMEND THAT HE SHOULD JUST DRIVE THE CAR TO KEEP THE BATTERY CHARGED. I WOULD LIKE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THIS CLASS ACTION VS. CHRYSLER.

I WAS DRIVING ONE MORNING AND IT WAS RAINING. THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR WOULDN'T ACCELERATE OVER 20 MPH. I CUT THE CAR OFF AND STARTED IT BACK UP AND IT DIDN'T DO IT ANYMORE. UNTIL THE OTHER DAY WHEN EXITING OFF THE INTERSTATE THE CAR LOST SPEED AND THE SAME LIGHT CAME ON. THE RESTARTING TRICK DIDN'T WORK. THE CAR RUNS SHAKY AND IS IDLED UP HIGH WHEN STARTED. THE CAR STILL WON'T ACCELERATE OVER 20MPH. HAD IT DIAGNOSED AND DISCOVERED THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AS WELL AS THE INTAKE MANIFOLD RUNNER VALVE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT OWN THIS CAR 2007/2008 HAVE THIS PROBLEM. WHICH CAN POTENTIALLY BE DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE!

AS I WAS DRIVING 70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, THE THROTTLE CONTROL WARNING LIGHT CAME AND THE CAR BEGIN TO LOSS POWER AND HESITATE. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND IT BEGAN TO STALL AND JUMP. THE CAR WAS LOSING POWER AND I COULD NOT GO PAST 45 MPH. ANOTHER PROBLEM I AM HAVING IS THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHT WENT OFF AND I CANNOT SEE THE GAS GAUGE, SPEEDOMETER, ETC. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY SITTING IN THE PARKING LOT UNTIL I CAN GET IT TOWED TO BE CHECKED AND/OR FIXED. IT CURRENTLY RUNS, BUT I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT.

DRIVING DOWN A SLIGHT HILL AT 35MPH USING NO THROTTLE, THE CAR STALLED. NO LIGHTS, NO ALARMS. REALIZED IT STALLED WHEN I HAD NO POWER STEERING FOR CORNER. NO POWER STEERING. NO POWER BRAKES. MUSCLED CAR TO STOP SAFELY, BUT IF MY 16YO DAUGHTER HAD BEEN DRIVING.... VERY SCARY. CAR HAS STALLED ONCE WHILE IDLING AT A STOP AND STUTTERED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL AT A RED LIGHT TWICE SINCE THE INITIAL STALLING INCIDENT.

PURCHASED VEHICLE USED IN AUGUST 2015, OWNER TOLD US THE WIPERS DID NOT WORK BUT HE HAD THE MOTOR AND WE INSTALLED THE WIPER MOTOR. THIS DID NOT WORK. SO WE RESEARCHED THIS VECHICLE FOR RECALLS AND WE FOUND THAT CHRYSLER HAS HAD A PROBLEM WITH THIS TIPM PART BUT WAS NOT BEING RESPONSIBLE FOR A RECALL. THIS PART COST US $650.00 AND THE WIPERS NOW DO WORK BUT THERE IS A NOISE THAT IS STILL THERE AND SOME OF THE CAUTION LIGHTS DO NOT GO OUT. THE CAR WORKS BUT DO NOT GO THAT FAR IN IT DUE TO THE REVIEWS WE HAD READ ABOUT THIS TIPM PART AND THE ENGINE MAY STOP WORKING.

WHEN CLOSING THE TOP, I HEARD A POP SOUND AND THE ROOF STOPPED. IT WOULD NO LONGER OPEN OR CLOSE BUT WAS STUCK HALFWAY OPEN. THE DECK LID (A TRIM PIECE WITH PLASTIC HINGES) HAD BROKEN AFFECTING THE TOP OPERATION. IT WAS REPAIRED OUT OF POCKET IN 2013. NOW IN 2015, THE SAME PIECE BROKE AGAIN, AGAIN RENDERING THE TOP INOPERABLE. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER ABOUT THE ISSUE AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I LIVE IN PA AND ONLY USE MY TOP ABOUT 3-4 MONTHS OUT OF A YEAR (AND LIMITED AT THAT SINCE I HAVE SMALL CHILDREN IN THE BACK SEAT DAILY) SO THIS BROKEN PIECE WAS NOT EVEN USED MUCH BEFORE IT BROKE FOR A SECOND TIME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE ON THE FIRST ATTEMPT.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 152,178.

FIRST I WENT TO START THE CAR, I NOTICED THE BATTERY WASN'T STARTING. I OPEN THE HOOD AND TRIED TO MOVE THE BATTERY POST, THEY WERE TIGHT, BUT THE PLASTIC COVER ON THE POST STARTED SENDING SPARKS OUT WHEN I TOUCHED IT. AFTER A WHILE I TRIED TO START IT AGAIN AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. THEN I NOTICED THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON. I LET IT RUN FOR ABOUT A MINUTE THEN I TURNED IT OFF. I DIDN'T DRIVE IT AT ALL THAT DAY. LATER I CHECKED IT AGAIN. IT DIDN'T START. SO I DID THE SAME THING AGAIN IT STARTED RIGHT UP BUT THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT WAS ON AS WELL. I WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE IT I THOUGHT THE SPARKS MIGHT MAKE IT CATCH ON FIRE. I THINK THERE WERE A RECALL ON THIS CAR A WHILE BACK. I'VE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR. I KNOW THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM ON THEIR CHRYSLER VEHICLES. I READ ABOUT MANY OTHER PROBLEMS AS WELL. WHAT SHOULD I DO NEXT? I'M REALLY NOT INTERESTED IN PAYING ANY DEDUCTIBLES AND CAR REPAIRS AT THIS TIME. HELP!!! IS THIS ANYTHING THAT I NEED TO WORRY ABOUT?

AFTER A FEW DAYS OF THE WINDOWS NOT OPERATING PROPERLY AND THE CAR HESITATING AT TIMES DURING ACCELERATION, IT WOULD NOT START AFTER BEING PARKED FOR AN HOUR. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED AND IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS THE TIPM WAS NOT WORKING AND THAT IT HAD BEEN SUPPLYING CONTINUOUS POWER TO THE FUEL PUMP AND THE WIRES WERE BURNED! THIS CERTAINLY SOUNDS LIKE A FIRE HAZARD. THIS REPAIR COST OVER $1000 WITH $677.50 BEING FOR PARTS. I SEE THAT JEEPS HAVE BEEN RECALLED AND THERE ARE OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE TIPM FOR VEHICLES. WHY IS THIS NOT A RECALL ITEM?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING.

BRAKE FAILURE. FIRST TIME IT WAS RAINING DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY PUT ON BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN BECAUSE IT BEGAN RAINING VERY HARD BRAKE LOCKED UP PEDAL WAS HARD TO PUSH CAR SPUN OUT OF CONTROL AND ALMOST SENT ME OVER THE GAURD RAIL. LUCKILY GAINED CONTROL OF THE CAR THANKFULLY THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS IN THE LANE NEXT TO ME. ON SEVERAL OCCASSIONS ESPECIALLY WHEN WET I HAVE NO BRAKES, LIKE IT LOCKS UP OR SOMETHING . ABS LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF. REPLACED THE BRAKES WITH LIFE TIME WARRANTY BRAKES. ABS SENSORS WERE CHECKED AND IN PLACE WHEN BRAKES REPAIRED. HAD IT CHECKED AT TIRES PLUS AND JUST BRAKES BOTH SAID NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES. THIS CAR SCARS ME BECAUSE I NEVER KNOW IF I AM GOING TO HAVE BRAKES OR NOT OR HOW TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM OR WHAT THE PROBLEM IS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING CONVERTIBLE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHOOK VIOLENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. IN ADDITION, WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE JERKED FORWARD AND STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT HIGH-SPEED, ALL THE ELECTRICAL INSTRUMENTS BEGAN FLASHING ON/OFF. THE AIRBAG LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING AND A CHIME COULD BE HEARD. THIS OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY (3-5 TIMES PER YEAR) AND CHRYSLER CANNOT PROPERLY DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN MOST FREQUENTLY WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE WHILE RAINING WITH THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON HIGH. ON ONE OCCASION WHILE TRAVELLING THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS OF WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA ON THE TURNPIKE AT NIGHT IN THE RAIN THE ENTIRE CAR WENT DARK FOR ABOUT 10 SECONDS. IT APPEARED THAT THE SYSTEM REBOOTED. ORIGINAL OWNER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TPMS WARNING LAMP FLASHED AND REMAINED LIT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER MORE THAN TWICE, BUT THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO DIAGNOSE AND REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 08V152000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED NO REMEDY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND I GOT A WARNING ON MY DASHBOARD THAT SAID THE CONVERTIBLE TOP WAS IN OPERATION. I WAS ON THE FREEWAY DRIVING 60 MPH (APPROXIMATELY). ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE TOP STARTED TO OPEN (IT IS A HARD-TOP CONVERTIBLE) - IT FROZE IN MIDAIR BECAUSE THE TRUNK COMPARTMENT WAS NOT PREPARED FOR THE TOP TO GO INTO IT AND THE TRUNK LID WOULD NOT OPEN BECAUSE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION. WHEN THE TOP FROZE IN THE "UP IN THE AIR" POSITION, IT DID SOMETHING TO THE MOTORS. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP - THEY WERE ABLE TO GET THE TOP BACK DOWN (MANUALLY) AND THEN THEY SET IT SO IT WAS PERMANENTLY CLOSED UNTIL REPAIRS COULD BE MADE. UNFORTUNATELY, I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO GET IT REPAIRED - ABOUT 600 DOLLARS AND I WOULD NOT ANYWAY, BECAUSE IT MALFUNCTIONED - IT WAS NOT USER ERROR. THE EQUIPMENT COMPLETELY FAILED. IS THIS ON ANY TYPE OF A RECALL THAT WOULD ALLOW MY CAR TO BE FIXED AND COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURER?

WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT HIGH-SPEED, ALL THE ELECTRICAL INSTRUMENTS BEGAN FLASHING ON/OFF. THE AIRBAG LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING AND A CHIME COULD BE HEARD. THIS OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY (3-5 TIMES PER YEAR) AND CHRYSLER CANNOT PROPERLY DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. WITH THIS LATEST INCIDENT, THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME IT WOULD COST $800 FOR A NEW POWER CONTROL MODULE. I RESEARCHED ONLINE ONLY TO LEARN THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH IDENTICAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THEIR CHRYSLER VEHICLES, WHILE NHTSA REFUSES TO ORDER A RECALL. I REFUSE TO ALLOW CHRYSLER TO PERFORM WORK ON THIS VEHICLE UNLESS THEY CAN GUARANTEE THE REPAIR AND CAP THE COST. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW AND CHRYSLER FAILED TO DISCLOSE TWO AUTO BODY REPAIRS PERFORMED PRIOR TO SALE - I DISCOVERED THIS ON THE CHRYSLER WEBSITE AND SINCE SPENT OVER $1,500 TO REPAIR IT BECAUSE CHRYSLER REFUSED TO ACCEPT ANY RESPONSIBILITY AFTER THE LEMON LAWS EXPIRED. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, LOSS SPEED OCCURRED, CAR FELT LIKE IN WAS GOING TO DYE ON THE FREEWAY. NO ACCELERATION POWER. ENGINE LIGHT FLASHING, THROTTLE LIGHT FLASHING IN RED. CAR HAS NO PICK UP. I HAVE CALLED CHRYSLER AND WAS TOLD NO RECALL. I HAD IT CHECKED AT LOCAL AUTO SHOP AND CODE WAS P0035. CRANK SHAFT SENSOR. MANY CUSTOMERS HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE AND NO ONE NOT EVEN CHRYSLER CAN FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. *TR

MY CAR BOTH IN BOTH PARK/DRIVE WILL SPORADICALLY JUMP IN RPM'S FOR NO REASON. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON 40+ OCCASIONS IN WHICH THE VEHICLE WILL REV FROM 600 RPM'S UP OVER 3500 RPM'S WITHIN A SECOND. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND CHRYSLER STATED THAT THEY HAVE NOT HAVE ANY REPORTS FROM OTHER VEHICLES AND GAVE ME NO SOLUTIONS TO THIS PROBLEM. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS NOT ON. I MENTIONED TO CHRYSLER THAT I AM AFRAID THAT MY CAR IS GOING TO ONE DAY REV WHILE I AM DRIVING AND I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO CONTROL IT. I AM AFRAID THAT I AM GOING TO EITHER INJURE MYSELF, PASSENGERS, OTHER MOTORIST AND/OR PEDESTRIANS. I HAVE BEEN AT MANY STOP LIGHTS AND STOP SIGNS WHERE IT HAS REVVED AND MOVED FORWARD EVEN WITH MY FOOT FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE. I WANT TO REPORT THIS IN CASE SOMETHING HAPPENS, I DO NOT WANT TO BE LIABLE FOR THE CARS ACTIONS SINCE CHRYSLER DOES NOT SEEM TO WANT TO TAKE MY ISSUE SERIOUSLY. *TR

I FIRST NOTICED THE LIGHT IN THE ANALOG CLICK GO OUT, THEN THE LIGHT IN THE SHIFTER AND OVERHEAD LAMP. MOST IMPORTANTLY IS MY POWER LOCKS STOPPED WORKING. I PURCHASED A 5 BATTERIES FOR MY REMOTE KEY AND WHEN THAT DIDN'T WORK I PURCHASED A NEW SET OF KEYS. THE HORN AND LIGHTS WOULD SOUND BUT THE LOCKS WOULD NOT LOCK. I HAVE TO MANUALLY LOCK MY DOORS AND I'M UNABLE TO ACCESS MY TRUNK UNLESS I CRAWL IN FROM THE BACK SEAT AND HIT THE RELEASE. I'VE HAD SEVERAL PEOPLE LOOK OVER MY CAR AND I NO ONE CAN FIGURE THIS OUT. I FINALLY STARTED RESEARCHING AND I SEE SEVERAL RECALLS BUT BECAUSE MY CAR WAS NOT BUILT IN A CERTAIN TIME AND LOCATION I'M NOT QUALIFIED FOR THE RECALLS UNLESS I PAY OUT OF MY OWN POCKET. I CAN'T EVEN TRADE IT IN AND GET A GOOD ENOUGH PRICE DUE TO THESE MALFUNCTIONS. I WILL BY NO MEANS TRUST CHRYSLER OR DODGE VEHICLES. *TR

RPMS SHOT TO 4K AND 5K THEN SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE. TOWED TO DEALER. DEALER REPLACED PCM AND ALTERNATOR. AFTERWHICH, INTAKE MANIFOLD DOOR POSITION SENSOR SETS A CODE - FOR SENSOR (NO RESPONSE) INTERNAL TO INTAKE MANIFOLD. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STILL ON. *TR

THE CAR WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. THE FIRST OCCURRENCE WAS SEPT. 2013, TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE REPAIR/REPLACEMENT WAS $400. CALLED THE SAME DEALERSHIP TODAY ( DECEMBER 23, 2014) AND THEY WOULD LIKE ME TO BRING IT IN, BUT I DON'T WANT TO PAY ANOTHER $400 TO HAVE IT REPLACED AGAIN BECAUSE THE ONE-YR WARRANTY IS UP BY 3 MONTHS. SO DISAPPOINTED... WHAT A WAY TO SPEND THE CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE IN PARK, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO START.

WHEN THE OUTSIDE TEMP IS BELOW 40 DEGREES AND I FILL MY 2008 SEBRING CONVERTIBLE WITH GAS, GASOLINE GUSHES AND BLOWS OUT OF MY CAR FILLER TUBE ALL OVER THE PLACE. I HAVE TALKED TO THE CHRYSLER DEALER AND THEY SAY THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS. HOWEVER MY 2008 DODGE NITRO HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AND THERE WAS A RECALL TO FIX IT. I HAVE VIDEO OF THIS HAPPENING. *TR

MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS JUST DECIDE WHEN THEY WANT TO STOP LEAVING ME WITH ZERO VISIBILITY DURING A RAINY COMMUTE. *TR

I STARTED THE CAR AND GOT A COUPLE MILES UP THE ROAD AND THIS LIGHTNING BOLT CAME ON SO I LOOKED IT UP AND IT SAID IT WAS THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL I HAVE NOTICED THE CAR ACCELERATES AND DECELERATES AT DIFFERENT TIMES AND IT SEEMS TO LOSE POWER WHILE I'M DRIVING IS THERE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE I JUST LOOKED AT ALL THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THERE ARE WAY TOO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME THING AND THE FIX IS COSTLY BUT IT SOUNDS TO ME LIKE CHRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT IT AND IGNORES IT. *TR

AS I SAT WITH FOOT ON BRAKE AT STOP SIGN, MY CAR HAD SUDDEN ACCELERATION AND MOVED FORWARD. IF A VEHICLE WOULD HAVE BEEN IN FRONT OF ME, I WOULD HAVE HIT IT. AFTER THE ACCELERATION, IT STALLED. THIS IS THE SECOND DAY IN A ROW THIS HAS HAPPENED. BOTH WERE WITH IN A 24 HOUR PERIOD. IT HAS HAPPENED IN THE PAST BUT AT THAT TIME THE CAR WAS IN THE PARK POSITION AND IT WOULD ""REV"" UP FOR NO REASON. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE SENSORS NEEDED TO BE CLEAN AND OR REPLACED UNDER THE SEAT.

CAR HAS 50,000 MILES ON IT. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR YEARS. THE IGNITION SWITCH STICKS WHEN CAR IS STARTED AND YOU HAVE TO MANUALLY TURN IT BACK TO ON SO STARTER WILL DISENGAGE. WHEN I HEARD OF RECALL RECENTLY ON OTHER MODELS I WAS SURPRISED THIS CAR HADN'T BEEN INCLUDED. *TR

I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF ENTERING A HIGHWAY FROM A DRIVEWAY. I HIT THE GAS PEDAL AND THE CAR TOOK OFF UNCONTROLLABLY ACROSS THE HIGHWAY, ACROSS LANES OF TRAFFIC, WENT UP AN EMBANKMENT AND THEN BACK DOWN WHERE THE CAR SHUT OFF. I HAD NOT DRIVEN THE CAR SINCE THE ACCIDENT, BUT WHEN I PICKED UP THE VEHICLE AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CONVERTIBLE ROOF HAD BEEN WORKED ON, I NOTICED THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE INDICATOR LIGHT WAS "ON". THIS MAY THE REASON IT ACCELERATED UNCONTROLLABLY. *TR

CAR SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES. *TR

WHEN I AM DRIVING AND IT IS RAINING OR HAS RAINED OR IF THE CAR IS WET THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE CAR SKIPPING/ STALLING OUT WHEN YOU ACCELERATE. THIS ONLY OCCURS WHEN THE CAR IS WET. IT HAS CUT COMPLETELY OFF AT AN INTERSECTIONS BEFORE. THIS USUALLY HAPPENS WITH SPEEDS LESS THAN 40 MPH OR YOU CAN HEAR AND FEEL IT PULLING/ WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHER SPEEDS. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE SPARK PLUGS GOING BAD AND HAD THEM REPLACED THAT THEY DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO DETERMINE WHEN IT WILL STALL OUT/SKIP. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AND THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE WHAT THE PROBLEM COULD BE. OR STATE NO PROBLEM FOUND. THIS HAS GONE ONE FOR TWO YEARS. *TR

IT HAD HAPPENED MANY TIMES SINCE THEN AND ALSO JUST LIKE MANY OTHERS ON HERE HAVE STATED,THE CAR SEEM LIKE IT IS ABOUT TO SHUT OFF WHILE IM SITTING AT A LIGHT THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT JUMPS FORWARD ALMOST CAUSING ME TO REAR END SOMEONE,THAT HAPPENS QUITE A BIT OR IT SHUTS OFF WHILE IDLING.

ON AUG. 8, 2014, WITH IN MINUTES OF EXITING THE 135 FRWY AT THE LAKE EXIT IN PASADENA, CA., AND SLOWING TO TURN INTO A DEL TACO, THE BREAKS ON OUR CAR "TOTALLY LOCKED UP!". THE FOLLOWING DAY WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO ALHAMBRA CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM. I WAS VERY DETAILED IN WHAT HAPPENED TO THE SERVICE MANAGER. THE RESULT WAS A NEW COMPUTER TO MONITOR AND ADMINISTER BRAKING INSTRUCTIONS TO THE VEHICLE. I ALMOST LEFT THE DEALERSHIP BEFORE I NOTICED NO MENTION OF THE INCIDENT AS I HAD ORIGINALLY DESCRIBED. THIS CONCERNED ME AND I ASKED THEM IF THE REMEMBERED WHY I HAD THE CAR TOWED IN. UPON THEIR ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, THEY UPDATED MY BILL DESCRIPTION TO INCLUDE THE ORIGINAL REASON MY CAR WAS TOWED TO THEIR FACILITY. I FEEL THEY WERE NOT AS ATTENTIVE TO WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT ONLY MINUTES BEFORE AND I HAVE HAD SEVERAL DISCUSSIONS AS WELL AS E-MAIL EXCHANGES WITH CHRYSLER AS A RESULT. MY ULTIMATE FEELING IS THEY ARE WAITING FOR MORE OF THESE INCIDENTS TO OCCUR BEFORE THEY DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I AM WORRIED NOT ONLY FOR MY WIFE AND MYSELF, BUT FOR ANYONE ELSE WHO MAY FIND THEMSELVES IN A SIMILAR SITUATION BUT WITH THE PROBLEM OF BEING ON A FREEWAY. THANK YOU. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION ONCE IT WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. IN ADDITION, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ACTIVATED INDEPENDENTLY AND THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STARTED STUTTERING THEN STOPPED COMPLETELY. WHEN I MOVE THE CONTROL ARM THEY WILL MOVE A LITTLE AT A TIME, THEN START TO GO REALLY FAST. I HAD TO LEAVE THEM ON THE FAST MODE OR ELSE I WOULD NOT BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR. IT WAS POURING OUT. THANKFULLY I GOT TO WORK WITH NO ISSUES. I HAVE REPLACED THE WIPER MOTOR AND THE CONTROL ARM TO NO AVAIL, THE DEALER PUT IN A NEW WIPER KIT TO NO AVAIL. NOW I NEED A NEW TIPM MODULE.! *TR

FIRST INDICATION OF AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM OCCURRED IN JAN OF 2014, WHEN A YR. OLD BATTERY FAILED. DEALERSHIP REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE. IN AUGUST 2014, MY PASSENGER SIDE LOW-BEAM HEADLIGHT WENT OUT, SO I TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP TO REPLACE THE BULB. IT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP KEPT THE CAR FOR 2 DAYS AND FOUND THERE WAS AN INTERNAL FAILURE IN THE TIPM DRIVER, THE BULB WAS BAD. BULB REPLACED, STILL NOT WORKING, MECHANIC TESTED AND TRACED WIRING AND CONNECTORS, ALL GOOD. MECHANIC FOUND TIPM HAS BAD CIRCUIT FOR RIGHT HEADLIGHT. WHOLE TIPM HAS TO BE REPLACED AT THE COST OF AROUND $1000. AFTER READING ABOUT THE CHRYSLER AND DODGE COMPLAINTS ONLINE, CONCERNING VEHICLES CUTTING OFF ALL POWER OVER 40 MPH, AND THE FILING OF A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST CHRYSLER LLC BY GIRARD GIBBS LLP, NOVEMBER 1ST, 2013, CONCERNING THE TIPMS HAVING A KNOWN SOFTWARE GLITCH IN CHRYSLER AND DODGE VEHICLES, I'M CONVINCED MY CAR HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. I CONTACTED A CHRYSLER REPRESENTATIVE, AND SHE SAID THERE WERE NO KNOWN RECALLS OF THE TIPM, SO SHE COULDN'T REALLY HELP ME OUT. I HAVE TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED, BEFORE IT GETS ANY WORSE AND CUTS OFF POWER TO MY ENGINE IN LOS ANGELES TRAFFIC, POSSIBLY CAUSING A CRASH AND MULTIPLE DEATHS. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE FOR ALL CHRYSLER/DODGE OWNERS, 2007-PRESENT. THERE ARE MULTIPLE ELECTRICAL FAILURES CAUSED BY A SOFTWARE GLITCH IN THE TIPM. THE SEVERITY OF THIS ISSUE, MAKES IT IMPERATIVE THAT YOU NEED TO INVESTIGATE AND GET CHRYSLER TO ISSUE A RECALL. THANK YOU *TR

JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE'S COMPLAINT ON THE 2008 SEBRING. THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON. THE CARS RPMS REV HIGH BUT THE CAR WON'T EVEN BE GOING FAST. THE CAR WILL SPEED UP ON ITS OWN AND JUMP WHILE SITTING AT A RED LIGHT. THEN ONCE THE LIGHT COMES ON AND YOU CUT THE CAR OFF IF YOU TRY TO CRANK IT BACK UP IT WENT CUT ON. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. I'VE ALMOST WRECKED QUITE A FEW TIMES. NOBODY KNOWS WHAT'S WRONG AND WHEN YOU TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY DON'T KNOW EITHER AND THEY ARE ALL RUDE. AND THEY CHARGE YOU 100$ TO DIAGNOSE IT. IF YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT VEHICLES YOU SHOULD DEF NOT WORK FOR CHRYSLER AND SHOULD NOT CHARGE PEOPLE FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR STALLED AND SUDDENLY, WITHOUT WARNING CUT OFF! NEEDLESS TO SAY, THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK MY CAR TO DEALER AND WAS CHARGED OVER $500 FOR TUNE-UP, OIL CHANGE, AND DIAGNOSTIC CHECK. ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON WITHIN ONE WEEK. I CANNOT AFFORD THE COSTLY REPAIRS WHEN MECHANICS CANNOT DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE. HOWEVER, MORE IMPORTANTLY, I CANNOT AFFORD TO BE HURT IN A CAR ACCIDENT. BACK TO THE MECHANICS SPENDING $146.00 FOR OXYGEN SENSOR ~ ENGINE LIGHT BACK ON WITHIN ONE WEEK! CAR STALLING AND IDOL IS EXTREMELY HIGH ~ CAR CUTOFFS CONTINUES....EMISSIONS TEST TIME ~ FAILED! NOW TOLD NEED NEW POWER CONTROL MONITOR. ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC " CODES ARE BEING SHOWN FOR NO REASON". *TR

I REPORTED THESE PROBLEMS BACK IN SEPTEMBER 2011 AFTER I WAS INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT ON THE FREEWAY. ON SEPTEMBER 03, 2011, I WAS DRIVING ON SOUTH I-43 FREEWAY. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO MAKE A LANE CHANGE, MY CAR WENT OUT OF CONTROL DUE TO STEERING FAILURE. I COULD NOT STEER MY CAR, MY STEERING WHEEL WAS VERY LOOSE AND THERE WAS NO CONNECTION BETWEEN THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE VEHICLE ITSELF. I WAS STRUCK BY ANOTHER DRIVER THAT HIT MY CAR ON THE PASSENGER-SIDE BY THE REAR LOWER SIDE PANEL. NO AIRBAG DEPLOYED. MY CAR SLAMMED UP AGAINST THE CONCRETE WALL BARRIER ON THE PASSENGER-SIDE OF MY CAR. I HAVE SIDE AIRBAGS, AIRBAGS IN MY SEATS, UNDERNEATH MY DASH, IN MY STEERING WHEEL, ONE ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE ABOVE THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT, AND IN ALL FOUR WINDOW SEALS OF MY CAR AND NOT ONE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. I HAVE ADR SYSTEM IN MY CAR THAT SUPPOSEDLY CAN RECORD SECONDS OF ACTIVITY AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT. WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT INFORMATION? I AM STILL EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH MY CARE THAT IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE SUCH AS; CONTINUING REPLACING TIE ROD AND THE STABILIZER BAR LOOSE. THIS PROBLEM STARTED FIRST HAVING PROBLEMS TRYING TO TURN THE KEY IN THE IGNITION SWITCH TO CRANK THE CAR AND AT TIMES FEARING THAT I MIGHT BREAK THE KEY IN THE IGNITION SWITCH AND HAVING TO REALLY WIGGLE THE STEERING WHEEL TO GET THE SWITCH TO TURN OVER. PICTURES THAT WERE TAKEN BY MY INSURANCE COMPANY REVEALED A LOT OF RUSTY OLD LOOKING PARTS UNDERNEATH THE CAR WHEN IN FACT THE MOTOR OF THE CAR STILL LOOKS NEW. MY CAR WAS ONLY TWO YEARS OLD WITH A LITTLE OVER 17,000 MILES AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE IN OCTOBER 2010. WHEN I REPORTED THESE ALL OF THESE THINGS IN SEPTEMBER 2011, I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO RECALLS ON MY CAR AND I DOUBT IF THIS CAR HAS ANY AIRBAGS IN IT. I LEARNED AFTER, I HAD THE ACCIDENT IN MY CAR, THAT THE CAR HAD BEEN WRECKED AND HAD POSSIBLE FRAME DAMAGE AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND THE HORN SOUNDED INDEPENDENTLY.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 08V152000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 67,000.

WHILE DRIVING THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS FLICKER THEN GO OUT UNABLE TO TURN BACK ON I AN UNABLE TO SEE SPEED, GAS GAUGE ENGINE TEMP A VERY HAZARDOUS CONDITION. *TR

MY 2008 SEBRING HAD THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT COME ON. WHEN THIS HAPPENED THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY REDUCED ITSELF TO 2000 RPMS. I COULD NOT ACCELERATE BEYOND THAT THRESHOLD. IF THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP IT WOULD STALL OUT COMPLETELY. I HAVE READ SEVERAL SIMILAR REPORTS OF THIS ISSUE INCLUDING IT CAUSING INVOLUNTARY ACCELERATION. *JS

SINCE PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE LAST OCTOBER, THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER LIGHTS HAS STOPPED WORKING ON A FEW OCCASIONS. AT SOME POINT THEY WOULD WORK AGAIN MOMENTARILY BUT ONLY TO STOP AGAIN. ONLY A PORTION OF THE CLUSTER WOULD REMAIN LIT. THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER LIGHTS ARE CURRENTLY NOT WORKING ON OUR VEHICLE. *JS

WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT, THE CAR ENGINE AND RPM INCREASED. LUCKLY I HAD MY FOOT ON BRAKE. HAD THE CAR LOOKED AT NO PROBLEM FOUND. INCLUDING A MAJOR TUNE UP. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL MORE TIMES, INCLUDING WHEN MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING MY CAR. THIS TIME I HAD ANOTHER PERSON IN THE CAR WHEN IT HAPPENED LAST MONTH. IT OCCURED AGAIN WHILE AT A RED LIGHT THE CAR WAS IN DRIVE AND MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE. IT RPMS WENT UP AND IT CAUSE THE CAR TO JUMP FORWARD BEARLY MISSING THE CAR INFRONT OF ME. *TR

THE CAR SOMETIMES STALLS. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, MOSTLY DURING OR AFTER IT RAINS, IT WILL JUST CUT OFF. IT CUTS OFF AT STOP LIGHTS AND WHILE I'M DRIVING. THERE ARE NO INDICATIONS ON THE DASHBOARD BEFORE IT CUTS OFF. IT ALWAYS STARTS BACK UP AFTER EACH INCIDENT. *TR

THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT OCCASIONS--BECOMING MORE FREQUENT AND LASTING LONGER DURATION EACH TIME. WHILE TRAVELING VARIOUS SPEEDS (CAN AND HAS HAPPENED ANYWHERE FROM 5MPH-60MPH) IF ANY PRESSURE IS APPLIED TO ACCELERATOR AFTER BREAKING NO MATTER THE SPEED ALL POWER IS LOST TO THE CAR A RED LIGHTING BOLT LIGHT APPEARS ON THE DASH AND THE RPM'S WILL STAY BETWEEN 4,000-5,000. EACH TIME HAVING TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND ATTEMPT FOR IT TO RESTART (DEPENDS ON IF IT WILL OR NOT--USUALLY TAKES IT A WHILE). WILL GET UP TO SPEED AGAIN AND IF I HAVE TO BRAKE FOR ANY REASON OR EVEN SLOW DOWN JUST A LITTLE WITHOUT APPLY THE BRAKES IT CAN COMPLETELY LOOSE POWER. ALSO DO NOT HAVE ANY DASH LIGHTS WHEN THE HEAD LIGHTS ARE TURNED ON. THEY APPEAR IN THE CENTER CONSOLE BUT WENT OUT IN 2009 JUST AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR, AND AFTER SEVERAL ESTIMATES IN THE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IT REMAINS WITH NO LIGHTS (SO IN NO WAY CAN YOU SEE THE SPEED OR ANYTHING ELSE ON THE DASH AFTER DARK.) *TR

VEHICLE CAME TO A COMPLETE STALL WHILE TAKING LEFT- HAND TURN ON INTERSECTION @ ~15MPH. IT NOW SHOWS THE INDICATOR LIGHT FOR THE ENGINE RANDOMLY AND STALLS SOMEWHAT FREQUENTLY AT LOW SPEEDS. LASTLY, THE TRANS IS SLIPPING RIGOROUSLY. *TR

THE THROTTLE BODY LIGHT JUST CAN ON AFTER CROSSING A SPEED BUMP AND STOP AND KILLED AND HESITATED TO RESTART NOW THIS THROTTLE BODY PART IS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER. *TR

RECALL #H07 ON 12/30/2013 I WENT TO HURLEY CHRYSLER DODGE DELAND, FLORIDA. THE SERVICE ADVISOR [XXX] REQUEST A FEE OF $115.00 DOLLAR FOR THE ELECTRONIC DIAGNOSIS ON THIS RECALL.

FIRSTLY FOUND THE DRIVER'S SEAT BELT BEEPS WHILE DRIVING WITH THE SEAT BELT ON; ONE WEEK AGO, STOPPED BY THE POLICE AT NIGHT, SAYING ALL THE REAR LIGHTS DIDN'T FUNCTION, INCLUDING THE STOP LIGHTS, TURN SIGNALS; A SELF CHECKING FOUND ALL THE LIGHT BULBS ARE GOOD, BUT THE FRONT LEFT TURN SIGNAL DOESN'T WORK, BOTH FRONT LEFT AND REAR RIGHT LIGHTS ARE ON FOR A LONG TIME AFTER SHUTTING OFF ENGINE AND LIGHT SWITCH. YESTERDAY I TOOK IT TO OLATHE CHRYSLER SHOP/DEALER TO CHECK UP MY CAR. THEY FOUND BOTH THE MULTI FUNCTION SWITCH AND THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE SHOULD BE REPLACED. OTHERWISE THE CAR MAY CATCH A FIRE OR LEAD TO ACCIDENTS. THIS IS 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING CONVERTIBLE. AS FAR AS I KNOW NO ACCIDENT HAS HAPPENED TO IT. I AM SURE THIS MODEL HAS HIDDEN SAFETY ISSUES. BECAUSE IT HAS THE SAME PROBLEM LIKE THE NEWER MODELS OF CHRYSLER SEBRING, DODGE, ETC. WHICH HAVE RECALLS. I DON'T HOPE ACCIDENTS HAPPEN TO ME OR OTHERS. *TR

DEALER SAID STEERING RACK WAS WORN AND LEAKING AND HAD TO BE REPLACED (35,000 MILES) AND WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. DEALER ALSO CLEANED THROTTLE PLATE AND FUEL INJECTORS FOR STALLING PROBLEM. EVEN AFTER THIS SERVICE CAR CONTINUED TO STALL, SOMETIMES CATCHING ITSELF AND SPEEDING UP WHICH CAUSES CAR TO SURGE FORWARD. AS OF TODAY, 8/17/13 CAR HAS 40,050 MILES ON IT AND I WONDER WHAT'S NEXT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE ALSO ERRONEOUSLY ACCELERATED WHILE THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS HOWEVER, THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE BUT REBOOTED THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AS A PRECAUTION. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 08V152000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) AND WAS ADVISED BY THE MANUFACTURER WAS THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000. *TR

24 HOURS OF PURCHASING FROM ORIGINAL- SOLE OWNER OF WHOM KEPT IT VERY WELL, LOW MILEAGE 28,000M & GARAGED. I DROVE IT FOR THE FIRST GAS FILL-UP AND PROCEEDED TO RESTART, SHIFT FROM P TO DRIVE. LOCKED UP. REFERRED TO MANUAL IN WHICH I FOLLOWED INSTRUCTIONS FOR HIDDEN RESET BUTTON. TO NO AVAIL, CALLED LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. THEIR RESPONSE "YOU GET IT HERE & WE'LL FIX IT!" TOTALLY FRUSTRATED~I DID. BROKEN SHIFTER HAS 2 LITTLE PINK PLASTIC GUARDS HOLDING IT ALL TOGETHER- REALLY? ONE HAS BROKEN BUT THE WHOLE SHIFTER HAS TO BE REPLACED!! 3 1/2 HOURS LATER + $377.00 I DROVE AWAY IN HOPES OF BEING REIMBURSED BY MANUFACTURERS TO REPAY MY FRIEND FOOTING THIS BILL!! *TR

TOOK MY 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING TO HAVE RECALL PART TRANS SHIFT INTERLOCK SPRING REPLACED. WHEN I ARRIVED TO PICK UP THE VEHICLE THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. THE SERVICE DEPT INCLUDING THE MANAGER SAID THE BATTERY MUST HAVE GONE DEAD WHILE THEY WERE REPLACING THE RECALLED PART. ALL SERVICE PEOPLE INCLUDING THE MANAGER DID NOT EVEN WANT TO JUMP THE VEHICLE SO THAT WE COULD BRING IT HOME. THE VEHICLE HAD NEVER HAD A DEAD BATTERY BEFORE THIS. EVER SINCE THE PART WAS REPLACED THE BATTERY KEEPS GOING DEAD. BATTERY WAS REPLACED ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO AND STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. WE GET NO ASSISTANCE FROM THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP EXCEPT FOR THEM TO SAY THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE. *TR

SO FAR MY 2008 SEBRING HAS TURNED OFF WHILE DRIVING TWICE. I WAS SLOWING DOWN FROM 30MPH FOR A STOP LIGHT AND IT TURNED OFF AND WAS LUCKILY ABLE TO UTILIZE THE BRAKES IF NOT I WOULD HAVE REAR ENDED THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME, BUT AS FOR THE STEERING, IT WAS UNRESPONSIVE. HOWEVER, I TURNED MY CAR BACK ON AS IF NOTHING HAPPEN UNTIL THE SECOND TIME IT STALLED WHILE TURNING INTO MY STREET. SAME ISSUE OCCURRED (NO STEERING, BUT BRAKES WERE OK.)CAR STALLS ONCE AGAIN GOOD THING MY CAR TURNS BACK ON IMMEDIATELY. ITS WAS DANGEROUS ONLY FOR THE FACT THAT ONCOMING TRAFFIC WOULD BE UNABLE TO SEE ME STALLED THERE BECAUSE ROAD FORMS A HILL OVER THE CANAL, SINCE SOON AFTER I WENT PASSED OVER THE CANAL MY STREET ENTRANCE IS MORE OR LESS 20FT FROM THE CANAL, IT COULD BE A BLIND SPOT. *TR

THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE LIGHT IS CONTINUOUSLY COMING ON EVEN AFTER REPAIRS. THE CAR WILL RIDE FIND AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN CUT OFF WITH NO WARNING OTHER THAN THE LIGHT APPEARING. ALSO IT STALLS AND YOU CAN BE IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC WHICH IS DEFINITELY SAFETY HAZARDOUS. I'VE NOTICE THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED TO THOUSAND AND TO MY SURPRISE NO RECALL. *TR

MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND THE DEALER WANTS $550 TO FIX IT. I THINK IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD NOT BE SO EXPENSIVE TO FIX. I AM NOW DRIVING WITH NO AIRBAG DUE TO A BAD CLOCKSPRING IN THE STEERING WHEEL. ON MY 1996 IT WAS A RECALL AND THE DEALER HAD TO FIX IT FOR FREE, WHY DON'T THEY DO IT ON THIS NEWER MODEL. THE COST IS WAY TOO HIGH FOR THE PART AND AMOUNT OF TIME IT WOULD TAKE THEM TO REPLACE IT. *TR

WHEN RAISING OR LOWERING THE TOP IT WOULD MALFUNCTION (SOME WHERE BETWEEN COMPLETELY UP OR DOWN) AND REMAIN IN THAT STATE SOMETIMES FOR HOURS, LOCAL TOWING SERVICES REFUSE TO TRANSPORT THE VEHICLE TO A NEARBY DEALERSHIP OUT OF FEAR THEY WOULD DO MORE DAMAGE TO IT. SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE (2007) WE'VE HAD IT SERVICED (SEP' 2007, JUL' 2010, AND SEP' 2011) AT DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM; EACH TIME THEY ASSURED US THAT THE PROBLEM HAD BEEN CORRECTED. MOST RECENTLY (MAY 29TH) WE AGAIN HAD THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE, FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. AS BEFORE, THE REAR WINDOW PANEL (RIGHT SIDE) HAS DROPPED SEVERAL INCHES, THE TOP IS INOPERATIVE, AND A STRAP THAT ATTACHES TO THE UNDERSIDE OF THE TOP HAS BROKEN AND HANGS DOWN INTO THE CRADLE. AS ROYAL PROTECTION PLAN HAS EXPIRED, THE DEALERSHIP HAS PROJECTED MY OUT-OF-POCKET REPAIR COSTS, THIS TIME, TO EXCEED $1,015. WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DETERMINE IF A RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS RECURRING PROBLEM. *TR

WHEN STOPPED AT A LIGHT WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, THE ENGINE SOMETIMES RACES AND THE CAR LURCHES FORWARD. ENGINE RPMS GO UP TO ABOUT 4000, AND SHORTLY RETURN TO IDLE. THIS HAPPENS ABOUT ONCE PER MONTH. THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM. I COULD HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME OR A PEDESTRIAN IN A CROSSWALK. I WILL NOT LET MY WIFE DRIVE THIS CAR BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD THE FUEL INJECTORS CLEANED BUT TO NO AVAIL. *TR

I WAS GOING 60 MPH WHEN MY CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING AND STARTED MAKING THIS WEIRD REVVING NOISE (THE KIND WHEN YOU ARE PARKED OR IN NEUTRAL), MY WARNING LIGHT CAME ON FOR THE ELECTRICAL PANEL. I THEN PULLED OVER BECAUSE IT WAS NOT GOING ANY FASTER THAN 35 MPH. JUST LETTING IT SIT IT WAS MAKING THOSE SAME NOISES. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT.

FRONT DRIVER SEAT STARTED FEELING LOOSE, AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON, LOW TIRE LIGHT CAME ON AND CHECK OIL LIGHT WOULD COME ON EVERY TIME CAR IS STARTED. A FEW DAYS LATER THE CAR DIDN'T FEEL RIGHT AND STARTED MAKING A LOUD KNOCKING NOISE, TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC AND FOUND OUT THAT TENSIONER BELT BECAME LOOSE CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE CAR. I HAD TO GET A NEW ALTERNATOR, TENSIONER & PULL, AND TRANSMISSION FLUSHED/SERVICED AS WELL AS THE POWER STEERING. NOT VERY HAPPY WITH THIS 2008 SEBRING!!!!! *TR

THE ELECTRO-LUMINESNCE LIGHTING FOR THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER GOES OUT RANDOMLY AFTER STARTING THE CAR AFTER SAY FUELING, OR GOING TO A STORE. THERE APPEARS TO BE SOME CORRELATION WITH ENGINE TEMPERATURE; I.E., IT HAPPENS MORE FREQUENTLY WHEN THE ENGINE IS STILL WARM. THE CONDITION DOES NOT ALLOW ME TO VIEW THE INSTRUMENT PANEL (FUEL GAUGE, ENGINE TEMPERATURE, SPEEDOMETER, OR TACHOMETER) ALL OTHER WARNINGS AND MONITORING ARE OK (E.G., TIRE PRESSURE WARNINGS, ODOMETER, ETC). *TR

WITHOUT WARNING AT TIME MY CAR WILL STALL AT A STOP IE SIGN OR TRAFFIC SIGNAL OTHER TIME IT WILL BE STOPPED AT A LIGHT & WITHOUT WARNING THE RPM WILL SPIKE TO OVER 2K RPM & NEARY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT SEVERAL TIME. THERE IS NO KNOW REASON FOR THIS IN RELATION TO TEMP, HUMIDITY ETC OR HOW LONG ITS BEEN DRIVEN. CAN IT BE THAT THE FLEX FUEL SYSTEM IS GETTING CONFUSED BY THE ALCOHOL IN THE FUEL?? ALSO EXPERIENCE AT TIME WHEN FILLING GAS TANK IT SPITS BACK & CAUSES AN OVERFLOW OF FUEL ON SIDE OF CAR & GROUND??NO MATTER HOW SLOW OR FAST ITS PUT IN. ALL THIS HAS STARTED IN THE LAST 5K MILES PLEASE FIND A FIX BEFORE IT BECOMES A ACCIDENT. THANKS *TR

ON MONDAY 1/28/2013 AFTER A HEAVY MORNING OF SNOWING AND RAINING, I BEGAN TO RUN ERRANDS. ALL OF SUDDEN MY CAR 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING STALLED AS I WAS DRIVING. I STARTED THE CAR IMMEDIATELY BACK UP WITH NO PROBLEMS HOWEVER SHORTLY AFTERWARDS PULLING UP TO A TRAFFIC LIGHT THE CAR STALLED AGAIN. EVERYTHING IN THE CAR GOES OFF AS IF SOMEONE HAS TURNED THE IGNITION KEY TO OFF POSITION. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS THERE ARE NO WARNING TO THE POSSIBILITY THE CAR IS ABOUT TO STALL. TUESDAY 1/29/13 I TOOK MY CAR TO A LOCAL REPAIR CHAIN AS IT CONTINUED TO STALL AND THEY REPORTED NOT FINDING ANYTHING ELECTRICAL WRONG WITH THE CAR NOR MECHANICAL. HOWEVER, THEY SUGGESTED THAT WHEN CARS STALL SOMETIMES IT MAY BE THE SPARK PLUGS MAY NEED TO BE REPLACED. SO BASED ON THEIR SUGGESTION I HAD THE SPARK PLUGS REPLACED/TUNE UP. UNFORTUNATELY, THIS DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM AS I DROVE HOME CAR STALLED. ON WEDNESDAY 1/20/13, I TOOK THE CAR TO ANOTHER TRUSTED MECHANIC AND THEY REPORTED THE PROBLEM BEING ELECTRICAL AND MANUFACTURED DUE TO HOW THE CAR TOTALLY SHUTS DOWN AND NOT REGISTERING WITH THE DASH BOARD A PROBLEM. ON 1/31/13 I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP ONLY FOR THEM TO CONFIRM, SO FAR, WHAT THE OTHER TWO MECHANICS ALREADY TOLD ME, ITS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM THAT IS NOT SHOWING UP ON DASH. FOR THREE DAYS THE CAR STALLED APRX. 11 TIMES AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS AND/OR IN MOTION. I HAVE READ THERE WAS A RECALL ON 2007-2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING'S HOWEVER WHEN I CALLED CHRYSLER I WAS TOLD THAT DID NOT INCLUDE MY CAR DUE TO IT BEING MANUFACTURED A MONTH LATER THAN THE RECALL CARS. HOWEVER, THE RECALL NOTICE DESCRIBES EXACTLY WHAT IS HAPPENING TO MY CAR. I HAVE ALSO COMMUNICATED WITH 2 OTHER PEOPLE TO WHOM HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME STALLING ISSUES WITH THE SAME YEAR AND MODEL CAR. I JUST HOPE IT DOES NOT TAKE SOMEONE LOSING THEIR LIFE BEFORE CHANGES ARE MADE TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM. *TR

WHILE IDLING AT A STOP LIGHT IN OCEAN CITY, NEW JERSEY, ENGINE SURGED THEN STALLED.

CAR WAS TAKEN TO ATLANTIC CHRYSLER, BUT SERVICE COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND THE COMPUTER DID NOT REFLECT IT. JAN. 13, 2013, WHILE DRIVING IN ATLANTIC CITY, NJ, CAR ENGINE REVVED AND STALLED WHILE STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT. THE CAR SURGED FORWARD SLIGHTLY BEFORE BREAKS HALTED FORWARD PROGRESS OF CAR, NEARLY HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THIS HAPPENED TWICE BEFORE GETTING THE CAR HOME. DURING THE SAME TRIP THE DASH BOARD LIGHT ACTIVATED INDICATING THE CONVERTIBLE TOP WAS IN OPERATION. THE LIGHT DID NOT DEACTIVATE UNTIL THE CONVERTIBLE TOP HAD ACTUALLY BEEN ACTIVATED, TAKEN DOWN AND REPLACED. I HAVE READ A NUMBER OF SIMILAR REPORTS TO THIS ONE. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION AND HAS TO HAVE A FIX BY NOW. *TR

THE CONVERTIBLE TOP WOULD STOP HALF WAY IN THE PROCESS OF GOING DOWN. WE FOUND THAT IN THE TRUNK THERE IS A SMALL PLASTIC PIECE AT THE END OF THE COMPARTMENT HINGE THAT CRADLES THE TOP WAS MISSING. WE WERE ABLE TO BUY A BOLT METAL PIECE SIMILAR TO PLASTIC AND USE WELD GLUE TO ADHERE IT. SECONDLY, THAT PROBLEM CAUSED THE PLASTIC FLAP THAT IS UNDER THE WINDOW IN THE INTERIOR TO BREAK WHICH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THIRD, THE INTERIOR ROOF PANELS CAME UNGLUED EXPOSING ALL THE COMPONENTS THAT WORKS THE CONVERTIBLE TOP. WE HAD TO REGLUE AND REPAIR PANEL. *TR

NOTICED AROUND THIS DATE WHEN MAKING LEFT HAND TURNS GOING DOWN HILL IN THE PARKING GARAGE THAT THE SUSPENSION WAS MAKING A GROANING SOUND. TOOK VEHICLE TO SEVERAL MECHANICS THAT FOUND NOTHING WRONG UNDER INSPECTION. FINALLY TOOK TO NEW MECHANIC AND FOUND RACK AND PINION WITH FRONT LEFT SIDE. *TR

SITTING IN TRAFFIC AND ENGINE BEGAN TO OVERHEAT. PULL INTO AREA TO PARK AND CHECKED UNDER HOOD TO FIND THAT RADIATOR FAN WAS NOT WORKING AND A FUSE WAS BLOWN. REPLACED THE FUSE. DROVE HOME AND THE FOLLOWING WEEK, CAR BEGAN TO OVERHEAT AGAIN. REPLACED FUSE AND TOOK IT TO MECHANIC WHERE THEY DETERMINED THAT THE FAN MOTOR WIRING WAS FRIED AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. NO FURTHER PROBLEMS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH WITH THE RADIO AND HEADLIGHTS ACTIVATED, THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL BEGAN TO ILLUMINATE INTERMITTENTLY. THE RADIO AND SPEEDOMETER WOULD NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. IN ADDITION, THE HEADLIGHTS BECAME DIM. THERE WAS A RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 08V152000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING); HOWEVER THE VIN WAS INELIGIBLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 105,000.

I LOST POWER TO MY SPEED, MY BRAKES FAILED. I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR WITH MY EMERGENCY BRAKE. ONCE STOPPED I TURNED OFF MY VEHICLE. ONCE I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, THE LIGHT DID NOT COME ON HOWEVER I STILL DID NOT HAVE THE SPEED. MY TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT FROM 3RD TO OVERDRIVE. IT WOULD STAY AT 3000 RPM AT 55 MPH. MY CAR NORMALLY RUNS @ 2500RPM OR LESS UP TO 60MPH. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT I NEED TO DEO TO HAVE THIS ISSUE RESOLVED. THIS IS MY SECOND TIME EXPERIENCING THIS WITH THIS VEHICLE. I ALSO HAVE A 2009 CHRYSLER PT CRUISER AND OWNED A 2006 CHRYSLER SEBRING AND NEVER HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS. *TR

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING VALVE BROKE OFF WHILE TRYING TO REMOVE VALVE CAP TO ADD AIR. THIS COULD HAVE HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AS I BARELY TOUCHED THE VALVE CAP. THIS IS THE FOURTH ONE THAT HAS FAILED IN THIS MANNER. THE ALUMINUM VALVE STEMS BECOME BRITTLE AND FAIL EASILY. THIS IS A DEFECTIVE PART WAS ON THE LEFT FRONT TIRE. *TR

I DROVE TO WORK THIS MORNING JUST FINE. UPON PREPARING TO LEAVE, THE CAR WOULD NOT COME OUT OF THE PARKED POSITION. THE GEAR WAS STUCK. *TR

WHILE DRIVING!!! MY 08 CHRYSLER SEBRING ELECTRONIC THROTTLE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CAR LOSES POWER WILL NOT PICK UP SPEED OVER 25MPG .. PAYING DEALERS TO FIGURE IT OUT BUT IM WASTING TIME AND MONEY THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT, BUT WHAT TO CHARGE TO SEE THE CAR AGAIN..... HAVEN'T HAD IT A YEAR BUT REGRET GETTING INTO THIS CAR...... *TR

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,660 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 89,663.

WHILE DRIVING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE ENGINE STALLED. WHEN TESTED THE ENGINE CODE CAME BACK AS ELECTRICAL SHORT. THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM BUT CLEARED THE ENGINE CODE. A FEW WEEKS LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. WHILE TRAVELING AT 50 MPH, AND COMING TO A STOP, THE ENGINE STOPPED RUNNING AND THE BRAKES FAILED TO STOP THE CAR. AFTER GOING THRU A RED LIGHT ANOTHER CAR BROADSIDED MY CAR. *TR

I WAS STOPPED ON THE RED LIGHT AND LOOKING WAS 1 CAR LENGTH AWAY FROM THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME MY BRAKES WENT DOWN TO THE FLOOR AND I WAS SO SCARED TILL I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND PUT MY EMERGENCY BRAKE THIS HAPPEN TO ME 3 TIMES IN THE SAME DAY BY THE WAY WHEN HIS HAPPEN MY BRAKES ARE NEW. *TR

ALMOST EVERY TIME I FILL THE GAS TANK, THE GAS SPILLS OR SPRAYS OUT OF THE TANK. NO MATTER HOW SLOW I FILL IT. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND I HAD THIS SAME ISSUE WITH ANOTHER 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING CONVERTIBLE. *TR

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING AT ROUGHLY AROUND 45MPH WHEN THE (ETC) ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT CAME. SHE LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE MOMENTARILY, HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO SLOW THE CAR DOWN. SHE SHUT THE CARE OFF, WENT TO START IT BACK UP AGAIN AND IT WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING, KEEP IN MIND SHE HAD OUR 2 CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE ALSO. AFTER A COUPLE OF TRIES TO START THE VEHICLE, IT FINALLY STARTED AGAIN, NO MORE LIGHT! SHE HAD TOLD ME WHAT THE CAR WAS DOING, SO I DROVE IT FOR A DAY, AND NOTHING HAPPENED AT ALL. LATER THAT NIGHT SHE WENT TO THE STORE, AND IT DID IT AGAIN!! THIS TIME IT STAYED ON AND STARTED BLINKING. I DROVE THE CAR, AND IT WONT GO OVER 20MPH, AND IDLES REALLY ROUGH, ALSO IDLES HIGH, BETWEEN 1500-2100RPM. I AM WRITING THIS BECAUSE AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THIS IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THERE IS MORE THAN A COUPLE THOUSAND VEHICLES THAT HAVE DONE THE SAME THING. (THE 07' TO 08' CHRYSLER SEBRING) IT PUT MY FAMILY IN DANGER, THIS IS WHY I AM POSTING THIS COMPLAINT. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. *TR

THE MOTOR SURGES WHEN IN PARK & WHILE IDLING AT A STOP SIGN. IT HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES, AND I HAVE ALMOST SLAMMED INTO A PEDESTRIAN BECAUSE IT CATCHES ME BY SURPRISE. I REMOVED THE FLOOR MAT TO ENSURE THAT IS NOT THE PROBLEM (IT HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES SINCE), AND THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED (LAST WEEK) THE CAR WAS IN PARK, AND THE ENGINE ROARED AS IF I WAS FLOORING THE ACCELERATOR, ON IT'S OWN. *KB

I AM HAVING ISSUES WHEN FILLING UP MY TANK WITH GAS. THE PUMP SHUTS OFF AND WHEN I PULL IT OUT A COUPLE OF GALLONS WILL SPRAY OUT. THE SHUT OFF IN THE CAR IS NOT WORKING. I HAVE READ WHERE OTHERS ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE TOO. *TR

AFTER I RECEIVED WORK DONE ON THE ELECTRICAL-RECALL, MY CAR KEEPS ON STALLING. THIS CAN BE VERY SCARY AND HAS ALMOST CAUSED SEVERAL ACCIDENTS. MY CAR SHOULD NOT BE SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING. I DID NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM UNTIL AFTER THE RECALL WAS FIXED ON MY CAR. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. *TR

WHENEVER I SELF FILL OR AN ATTENDANT FILLS MY VEHICLE WITH GASOLINE IT SPITS BACK +/- 2 CUPS OF GAS AFTER THE PUMP SHUTS OFF EVEN ON THE SLOWEST FILL SPEED. GASOLINE SPILLS ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, GROUND AND ANYONE STANDING NEXT TO THE VEHICLE. THIS IS DEFINITELY A TRUE SAFETY HAZARD TO OWNER AND OR GAS STATION ATTENDANTS HAVING GASOLINE ON THEIR HANDS AND CLOTHES, AND THE ENVIRONMENT FROM THE ESCAPED FUMES, AND DEFINITELY A POTENTIAL FOR FIRE FROM POOLED SPILLED GASOLINE ON THE GROUND. I HAVE ALSO HEARD FROM ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL WITH A 2008 SEBRING CONVERTIBLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING CONVERTIBLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED AN ABNORMALLY LOUD NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE RACK AND PINION WAS BROKEN AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE WHO STATED THAT THEY WOULD CONTACT HER AT A LATER DATE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 57,507.

WHEN FILLING THE VEHICLE WITH GAS, THE GAS SPRAYS BACK OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE AFTER THE AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF OF THE GAS STATION PUMP. I WOULD ESTIMATE ONE TO TWO CUPS OF GASOLINE SPRAY OUT ONTO THE PUMP HANDLE, THE SIDE OF THE CAR, MY CLOTHES, AND THE DRIVE. THIS IS A FORCEFUL SPRAY. THIS HAPPENS ON THE INITIAL SHUT-OFF OF THE PUMP, UNRELATED TO TOPPING OFF THE TANK. THIS STARTED AROUND DECEMBER OF 2011 AND HAPPENS AT ALL GAS STATIONS. THERE IS NO NOTICEABLE SLOPE TO THE DRIVES AT THESE GAS STATIONS AND IT DOES NOT MATTER WHICH SPEED I USE ON THE PUMP. IT WILL HAPPEN IF I USE THE SLOWEST SPEED OR IF I SET THE PUMP HANDLE TO FULL SPEED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE! I SEE OTHERS ONLINE WITH THE SAME COMPLAINTS IN CHRYSLER VEHICLES. WHAT CAN I DO? *TR

WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES PEDAL THE CAR WILL COME TO A STOP, BUT THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD SHAKE. TOOK THE CAR TO A CHRYSLER DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN SAID THAT THE FRONT ROTOR WERE WARPED, HE RECOMMEND THAT THEY CUT THE ROTOR AND THAT WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. IT FIX THE PROBLEM, BUT AFTER 6000 MILE LATER THE PROBLEM RETURN. I REPLACE THE FRONT ROTOR AND THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY. IT COST ME $250. 00. THIS PROBLEM WAS NOT COVER BY THE WARRANTY. *TR

ON SEPTEMBER 30, 2010, I PURCHASED A 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING FROM A DEALERSHIP IN PLYMOUTH, WI. THE CAR HAD 19,204 MILES ON IT. THE CAR ALSO HAD BRIDGESTONE TURANZA TIRES. I TOOK MY CAR INTO TIRES PLUS FOR AN OIL CHANGE AT 22,700 MILES ON THE DASH. I WAS TOLD BY THE TECHNICIAN THAT I NEEDED NEW TIRES, BECAUSE MY TIRES HAD 3/32 OF TREAD ON THEM. ON JANUARY 28, 2011, THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE CAR SO GANDRUD INSTALLED A AUTO TRANS SHIFT LEVER INTERLOCK SPRING.THEY ALSO CHECKED TIRE PRESSURE AND SET TIRE PRESSURE. A ABOUT A MONTH LATER, I STARTED HAVING TROUBLE WITH GETTING MY KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION SWITCH. HAVING TO WIGGLE THE STEERING COLUMN TO GET IT OUT. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO GANDRUD TO HAVE THEM CHECK IT AND THEY TOLD ME NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT. ON MAY 11, 2011, I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR ANOTHER OIL CHANGE AND TIRE ROTATION. GANDRUD TOLD ME I HAD 4/32 TREAD ON THE TIRES AT 30,026 MILES. ON JUNE 24, 2011, I TOOK IT BACK TO GANDRUD FOR ANOTHER OIL CHANGE AT 33,572 MILES ON THE DASH AND WAS TOLD I HAD 4/32 OF TIRE TREAD LEFT ON THE TIRES.

I WENT GOT AN OIL CHANGE AND THE TECHNICIAN THERE TOLD ME I NEEDED TO GET NEW TIRES FOR THE CAR. HE STATED AT THIS TIME I HAD LESS THAN 2/32 OF TREAD ON MY TIRE. I GOT A QUOTE FROM THE SERVICE GUY, DECIDED I CAN BEAT THAT PRICE.SET-UP AN APPOINTMENT WITH TIRES PLUS FOR FOUR TIRES AN ALIGNMENT. UNFORTUNATELY, I DID NOT MAKE IT TO GET MY NEW TIRES ON THE CAR. ON SEPTEMBER 03, 2011, I WAS INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT ON THE FREEWAY. I WAS TRAVELING IN FAR LEFT LANE, MANEUVERING TO THE MIDDLE LANE WHEN MY STEERING WHEEL AND MY TIRES WERE NO LONGER FUNCTIONING TOGETHER. I ALMOST LOST MY LIFE THAT DAY, BUT GOD SO FIT FOR ME TO LIVE TO TELL ABOUT IT. IT WAS THE MOST SHOCKING DAY OF MY LIFE. I THANK GOD I AM HERE TO MAKE A COMPLAINT. THESE DEALERSHIPS CAN'T CONTINUE TO SCAM US THIS WAY. IT'S NOT WORTH OUR LIFE. *TR

MY ACCELERATOR HAS BEEN STICKING AND BEGIN NOT LONG AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR USED IN 2010. I THOUGHT AT FIRST IT WAS THE CAR MAT GETTING IN THE WAY BUT THAT WAS NOT THE CASE THIS LAST TIME ON SUNDAY OCTOBER 2,2011. I WAS PULLING INTO PARKING SPACE AND HAD MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR WHEN THE CAR ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN AND I HIT THE CEMENT CURB WHICH WAS TALLER THAN MOST. THERE WAS SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO THE LOWER PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR. I WAS ABLE TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES GETTING IT TO STOP BEFORE FURTHER DAMAGE. MY DAUGHTER WAS IN THE CAR WITH ME BUT NO ONE WAS INJURED. IF THE CURB WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN TALL THE CAR WOULD HAVE MORE AND LIKELY JUMPED IT AND RAN INTO BUILDING, BUT BECAUSE OF HEIGHT OF IT THIS DID NOT HAPPEN. I THEN GOT OUT AND INSPECTED THE DAMAGE WHICH WAS LESS THAN I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE AND NO AIR BAGS DISBURSED. *TR

JUST IMAGINE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AT APPROXIMATELY 25-30MPH AND YOUR HOOD FLIES UP AGAINST THE WINDSHIELD. FORTUNATELY FOR ME THE PERSON BEHIND BE WAS ALERT AND DID NOT PLOW INTO THE REAR OF ME. I PHONED THE INSURANCE COMPANY IMMEDIATELY, AND I WAS ADVISED TO TAKE THE CAR TO A RECOMMENDED COLLISION CENTER WHICH REPAIRED MY CAR PRETTY QUICKLY....TOO QUICKLY I SUPPOSE BECAUSE WHEN I CALLED THE CHRYSLER, LLC OFFICE THEY SPECIAL INVESTIGATOR SAID IN ERROR THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO BECAUSE THE EVIDENCE WAS DESTROYED. HE ESSENTIALLY SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING MORE THAT CHRYSLER COULD DO. THEY DON'T KNOW WHY IT HAPPENED BUT IT SEEMED AS IF THE LATCH WAS WORKING PERFECTLY NOW. WELL I NOW HAVE A NEW HOOD BUT THE SAME OLD LATCH. MY MAJOR CONCERN IS THAT IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHY IT HAPPENED TO BEGIN WITH HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT IT IS FIXED. SUPPOSE THAT IT IS NOT THE LATCHES AT ALL BUT SOMETHING CONNECTED TO THE LATCHES THAT MADE THEM BOTH FAIL. NO ONE IS LISTENING TO ME. I AM NOW VERY FEARFUL OF DRIVING MY CAR WHICH I MENTIONED TO THE CHRYSLER SPECIAL INVESTIGATOR AND HIS RECOMMENDATION TO ME WAS "IF YOU ARE THAT AFRAID YOU OUGHT TO JUST TRADE IT IN AND GET SOMETHING ELSE" HE SAID THAT THEY HAVE DONE ALL AND EVERYTHING THAT THEY INTEND TO DO AND HE HUNG UP THE PHONE WITH ME STILL TALKING. I JUST WANT THIS TO GO ON RECORD AS A PRETTY SERIOUS PROBLEM; BUT KNOW ONE IS LISTENING! *TR

IN AUGUST 2010, I BOUGHT A 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING WITH ONLY 25,000 MILES. NOW WITH ONLY 32,000 MILES - THE THROTTLE PART HAS TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE OF STALLING AND ALSO THE COMPUTER SYSTEM HAS TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE READ THE COMPLAINTS THAT THE THROTTLE CAN MALFUNCTION AND SPEED UP THE VEHICLE! AND I HAVE READ THE COMPLAINTS THAT THE THROTTLE CAN STALL OUT THE VEHICLE. WHY HASN'T THE THROTTLE PART (CODE P2107) BEEN RECALLED? I WAS TOLD THAT THE THROTTLE PART IS ONLY GUARANTEED FOR 1 YEAR. THIS SHOULD BE A MANUFACTURE DEFECT AND CHRYSLER IS PUTTING DEFECTIVE THROTTLES ON THIS MODEL OF SEBRING AND NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS DEFECT. HOW MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM? WHY DOESN'T CHRYSLER HAVE A WARRANTY IN EFFECT FOR THIS PROBLEM BEFORE MORE DRIVERS GET KILLED OR INJURED? PLEASE RESPOND. *TR

2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING CONVERTIBLE TOP NOT WORKING PROPERLY. TOP IS GETTING STUCK HALF WAY WHEN LOWERING. TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY WOULD NOT REPAIR.

I WAS TRAVELING BACK TO LOS ANGELES,CA FROM SEDONA, AZ. IT HAD BEEN RAINING OFF/ON ALL DAY. SOMETIMES LIGHTLY AND OFTEN TIMES VERY HEAVY WITH WAKE WATER COMING OFF OF OTHER CARS AND TRUCKS ON A VERY BUSY CA HIGHWAY. MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING DURING HEAVY DOWNPOUR TWICE. HAD TO CRAWL OFF THE FREEWAY WHILE UNABLE TO SEE BECAUSE OF NO WIPERS.

I HAVE NOT HAD THIS HAPPEN BEFORE AND I HAVE DRIVEN LONG AND SHORT DISTANCES IN THE RAIN. ANOTHER ISSUE IS I HAVE HAD ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS OVER THE LAST YEAR AND 1/2, THE CAR SHUT OFF/STALL WHILE WAITING AT RED LIGHTS, AND ONCE WHILE THE CAR WAS MOVING IT STARTED TO STALL. AT NO TIME DID THE ENGINE MALFUNCTION LIGHT,OR ELECTRICAL LIGHT COME ON OR STAY ON. I WAS TOLD BY CHRYSLER TECHNICIANS/MECHANICS THAT UNLESS THE LIGHT STAYS ON THEY CAN'T DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. OTHERWISE THE FAILURE HAD TO BE DUPLICATED, I.E, HAVE TO OCCUR IN THE PRESENCE OF THE TECHNICIANS. WELL YOU KNOW HOW THAT GOES. I UNDERSTAND THAT MY CAR WAS NOT PART THE 08V152000 RECALL, BUT THIS SITUATION IS DANGEROUS. PLEASE HELP.

CHRYSLER SEBRING 2008 HOWEVER, I AM HAVING PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT WHICH WILL COME ON SOMETIME AND NEVER GO OFF UNLESS YOU STOP THE CAR AND RESTART. WHEN ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT IS ON YOU CANNOT BREAK TO STOP THE CAR, OR SPEED UP. IT MAKE YOU LOOSE CONTROL OF THE WHOLE CAR INCREASING THE POTENTIALITY OF ACCIDENT IF YOU WAS DRIVING AT ANY SPEED ABOVE 25 MPH. I WENT TO CHRYSLER DEALERSHIPS, BUT THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THE CAR OR COULD CAUSE THAT FAILURE, `AND HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO FIX IT. I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS PROBLEM IS RELATED TO THE POWER TRAIN. THE PROBLEM HAPPENED TO ME ALREADY MORE THAN 30 TIMES. *TR

CAR WOULD NOT START. NO CRANK NO NOTHING. ONLINE IT STATES PART RECALLED, BUT CHRYSLER SAID RECALL DOESN'T AFFECT MY CAR... EVEN THOUGH I DRIVE A 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING RECALL DOESN'T AFFECT ME???? DOESN'T AFFECT ME BUT PART DOESN'T WORK ON MY CAR. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING (LIMITED). THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER IT RAINED OR AFTER WASHING HIS VEHICLE, THE DROP TOP WOULD LEAK THROUGH THE SEALS.

I HAVE A 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING CONVERTIBLE. THE ENGINE HAS BEGUN STALLING AND SURGING AT RED LIGHTS. THE STALLING HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, BUT THE SURGING IS MUCH MORE DANGEROUS. THE ENGINE WILL SUDDENLY JUMP FROM IDLE TO A COUPLE THOUSAND RPM. IF YOU'RE NOT READY FOR IT YOU CAN EASILY BE PULLED FORWARD SEVERAL FEET, POTENTIALLY INTO THE PATH OF AN ONCOMING CAR. YOU HAVE TO APPLY EXCESSIVE PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO PREVENT BEING PULLED. THE SURGES ONLY LAST A FEW MOMENTS AND THEN THE ENGINE RETURNS TO IDLE. I WAS LOOKING FOR A FIX AND STARTED SEARCHING THE SYMPTOMS AND FOUND DOZENS OF POSTS OF PEOPLE HAVING EXACTLY THE SAME ISSUE. MOST HAVE TRIED SEVERAL FIXES FOR HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS AND STILL HAVE THE SAME DANGEROUS CONDITION. OUR CAR IS AT THE DEALER NOW, BUT AT THIS POINT I DO NOT KNOW IF THEY CAN SOLVE THE ISSUE. JUDGING FROM THE POSTS I FOUND THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE AT LEAST 2007, AND THERE ARE A LOT OF FRUSTRATED OWNERS DEALING WITH IT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING CONVERTIBLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE ACCIDENTALLY PRESSED THE BUTTON TO PULL BACK THE CONVERTIBLE ROOF AND THE ROOF BEGAN TO OPEN. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR WAS THE VEHICLE REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 51,000.

I OWN A 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING CONVERTIBLE. DURING THE PROCESS OF LOWERING THE RETRACTABLE TOP,I REACHED INTO THE TRUNK WHILE STANDING NEXT TO THE CAR TO FREE AN OBJECT (CARDBOARD BOX)THAT I FEARED WOULD ENCUMBER THE OPERATION OR DAMAGE THE TOP. THE MECHANISM PINNED MY ARM AND I WEDGED MY SHOULDER INTO THE UNDERSIDE OF THE TRUNK LID TO IMPEDE THE TRAVEL OF THE LID SO I COULD EXTRICATE MY ARM FROM THE SCISSORING ACTION OF THE TOP. ONCE I HAD MY ARM FREE, THE MECHANISM HAD ME PINNED FACEDOWN WHILE IT CONTINUED TO CLOSE. I BRACED MYSELF AGAINST THE FORCE IN ANTICIPATION OF ACTIVATING SOME SORT OF SAFETY STOP/REVERSAL MECHANISM. I WOULD ESTIMATE THE DOWNWARD FORCE TO BE IN EXCESS OF SEVERAL HUNDRED POUNDS PER SQUARE INCH SINCE ONE OF THE GUIDE PINS CREATED A 2 CM IMPRESSION IN MY BACK ABOUT 2 INCHES FROM MY SPINE. THE TOP DID FINALLY STOP AND I WAS ABLE TO PRY MYSELF FREE. MY CONCERN IS THAT HAD CIRCUMSTANCES BEEN SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT, I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED, PARALYZED OR HAD MY RIGHT ARM AMPUTATED ABOVE THE ELBOW. A CHILD, SLIGHT FRAMED, OR ELDERLY PERSON PROBABLY WOULD HAVE BEEN CRUSHED OR KILLED. THIS MECHANISM EXERTS AN EXTRAORDINARY AMOUNT OF PRESSURE AND WILL ONLY STOP WHEN IT ENCOUNTERS AN OBJECT THAT IT CANNOT CUT OR CRUSH. *TR

I PURCHASED MY 2008 SEBRING IN NOVEMBER 2008. SEVERAL MONTHS LATER THE BRAKES BEGAN MAKING SQUEAKING NOISES. I HAVE HAD THE DEALER (FROM WHICH I PURCHASED) TO PUT 3 PAIR OF BRAKES ON SINCE THEN. I DON'T TRAVEL OR DRIVE LONG DISTANCES, BUT EVERYTIME I STOP THE BRAKES MAKE SQUEAKING NOISE S AND SKIPS. ALSO I HAVE LOTS OF DUST TO ACCUMULATE ON THE FRONT DRIVER RIM. I WAS TOLD TO SLOWLY PULL MY BRAKE HANDLE WHILE DRIVING TO DECREASE THE BRAKE DUST. *TR

I HAVE A 2008 SEBRING CONVERTIBLE.. WHILE DRIVING.. THE CAR'S ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON AND STARTS TO LOSE POWER AND WILL ALMOST SHUT DOWN..

MY WIFE DROVE HER 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING TO WORK YESTERDAY, EVERYTHING SEEMED TO WORK FINE. WHEN SHE TRIED TO DRIVE HOME THE CAR WAS STUCK IN PARK. AFTER RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM ONLINE I TOOK THE TRIM RING OFF OF THE SHIFTER AREA AND FOUND THE PINK PIECE OF PLASTIC ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SHIFTER. WITH A LONG SCREW DRIVER I WAS ABLE TO PUSH THE PINK PIECE OF PLASTIC BACKWARD AND COULD THEN MOVE THE SHIFTER OUT OF PARK. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING CONVERTIBLE. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH AND ATTEMPTING A RIGHT TURN, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND THE CONTACT HAD TO UTILIZE EXTREME BODILY FORCE IN ORDER MANEUVER THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THE FAILURE AS A DEFECTIVE STEERING COLUMN RACK. THE STEERING COLUMN RACK WAS REPLACED YET THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER HOWEVER, THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS LEFT WITH THE DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS AWAITING REPAIRS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING CONVERTIBLE HARDTOP. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FOLDING HARDTOP WOULD LEAK ABNORMALLY AND WAS OUT OF ALIGNMENT DUE TO ITS CONSTANT MOVEMENT TO AND FROM THE TRUNK COMPARTMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER NINETEEN TIMES AND THEY COULD NOT REPAIR THE LEAKAGE ISSUE. THE DEALER ATTEMPTED TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE BUT TO NO AVAIL. THE MANUFACTURER WOULD NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,400. THE CONSUMER STATED THE RETRACTABLE HARD TOP WOULD NOT COME UP AFTER BEING LOWERED. AFTER WAITING OVERNIGHT IT OPERATED IN A NORMAL FASHION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THE PROBLEM WAS A VOLTAGE SHORTAGE AND NOT AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. THE DEALER MADE THE NECESSARY REPAIRS AND INFORMED THE CONSUMER THE PROBLEM SHOULD BE RESOLVED. FOR TWO WEEKS, THE TOP HAD NOT BEEN LOWERED DUE TO RAINY WEATHER. THE FIRST TIME THE TOP WAS LOWERED, IT BECAME STUCK IN THE HALF WAY DOWN POSITION. AT WHICH TIME THE BACK HALF OF THE VEHICLE FELL TOWARDS THE GROUND, BENDING PARTS AND FORCING THE MECHANISM AND TRUNK TO BE SEVERELY OUT OF ALIGNMENT. ACCORDING TO ANOTHER DEALER, IT WAS MORE LIKELY CAUSED BY THE OTHER DEALERSHIP ADJUSTING THE TRUNK TOO FAR AWAY FROM THE LATCH, WHICH WOULD NOT ALLOW IT TO STAY LOCKED INTO PLACE WITH THE ADDED PRESSURE FROM THE TOP GOING DOWN. THE DEALER FINALLY ADMITTED THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN HAD BEEN ISSUED FOR THE MECHANISM PROBLEMS. CHRYSLER AGREED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK AND REPLACE IT WITH A 2010 MODEL. THE CONSUMER STATED THE 2010 MODEL ALSO LEAKED. THE CONSUMER BELIEVED THE RUBBER PIECES DESIGNED TO BLOCK LEAKS FROM THE QUARTER GLASS AREAS DID NOT LAND IN THE SAME SPOT EACH TIME, WHICH EXPLAINED WHY THE PROBLEM WAS INTERMITTENT.

WE HAVE A 08 CHRYSLER SEBRING IT WAS TAKEN TO NISSAN ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO WE WERE TOLD IT WAS THE BATTERY CHARGED 75. FOR A DIAG FEE. THE CAR ITSELF DIES WHEN AT A STOP SIGN OR RED LITE IT WILL SUDDENLY REV UP THE MOTOR AND JUST TURN OFF. IT STARTED TO STALL AND NOT TURN ON THE BATTERY WAS HAVING TO BE CHARGED OVER AND OVER. FINALLY WE CHANGED THE STARTER AND BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY THAT WAS 2 MONTHS AGO.NOW IT IS DOING THE SAME THING THE BATTERY IS DYING WE HAVE JUST TAKEN IT IN TO GET RECHARGED JUST TO FIND OUT IF IT IS THE ALTERNATOR. THE RECALL THAT WAS DONE ON THE SEBRING FOR THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR DOES NOT INCLUDE OUR CAR. I DON'T SEE HOW THE SAME VEHICLE THE SAME YEAR IS DOING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS DOES NOT GET INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. *TR

I OWN A 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING TOURING CONVERTIBLE AND 1 WEEK AFTER BUYING THIS VEHICLE IN APRIL 2009, THE FABRIC ON THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT "BUSTED" OPEN. THE SEATS HAVE A ZIPPER UP THE BACK OF THEM THAT ARE DESIGNED TO BUST OPEN WHEN THE AIRBAGS DEPLOY. THE DEALER FIXED THIS AT THIS TIME FOR NO COST. NOW, THE PASSENGER SEAT HAS DONE THE SAME THING. MY AIR BAG DEFAULT LIGHT CONTINUES TO STATE A MALFUNCTION AND IT WAS AT THIS TIME THAT I NOTICED THE FABRIC HAS BUSTED OPEN ON THE PASSENGER SEAT INDICATING ANOTHER MALFUNCTION WITH THE AIR BAG WITHIN THAT SEAT. I AM CONCERNED THERE IS A SAFETY CONCERN WITH THE AIRBAGS IN MY CAR AND AM CONCERNED THEY ARE NOT WORKING/WILL NOT WORK IF NEEDED. I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE ANY HELP WITH THIS POTENTIAL SAFETY RISK. THANK YOU. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYLSER SEBRING CONVERTIBLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEAR SHIFT SELECTOR BECAME LODGED IN THE PARK POSITION.

MY 2008 SEBRING SHIFTER IS STUCK IN PARK; THE CAR CANNOT BE MOVED. A DEALERSHIP SERVICE MECHANIC SAID IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON SEVERAL CHRYSLER AND DODGE MODELS DUE TO A BROKEN PLASTIC PIECE ON THE 'BRAKE SHIFT INTERLOCK'. THE ENTIRE SHIFTER UNIT MUST BE REPLACED BECAUSE THERE IS NO REPLACEMENT PART. IT WILL COST $150-$200 SINCE MY SEBRING IS 3 MONTHS OUT OF WARRANTY (30,000 MILES). ON THE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY THERE IS A BRIGHT PINK PLASTIC PIECE THAT HAS A SMALL 2/8" HOOK. THIS 2/8" SMALL PLASTIC HOOK IS ABOUT AS ROUND AS A SMALL PAPER CLIP. ONE END OF A SMALL 3/4" SPRING ATTACHES TO THIS PLASTIC HOOK AND THE OTHER END OF THE SPRING ATTACHES TO A HOOK ON THE SHIFTER HOUSING. THIS SPRING ALLOWS THE BRIGHT PINK PIECE TO MOVE WHEN THE BRAKE IS DEPRESSED, WHICH DISENGAGES THE INTERLOCK ALLOWING THE SHIFTER TO MOVE OUT OF PARK. A BROKEN 2/8" PIECE OF CHEAP PLASTIC THAT CAN DISABLE AN ENTIRE CAR IS WITHOUT A DOUBT A POOR DESIGN AND A MANUFACTURING FLAW! IF YOU DO A WEB SEARCH ("CHRYSLER STUCK IN PARK" OR "DODGE STUCK IN PARK") YOU WILL FIND THOUSANDS OF HITS. BETTER YET, LOOK AT THE COMPLAINTS ON THIS WEBSITE YOU WILL SEE IT IS A CHRONIC PROBLEM THAT IS REPORTED IN 2007-2008 DODGE (AVENGER) AND CHRYSLER (SEBRING & 300) PRODUCTS. IT IS NEEDLESSLY COSTING THE OWNERS HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO DO AN OUT-OF-WARRANTY REPAIR ON AN UNDER-DESIGNED PART. A CHRONIC DESIGN FLAW THAT SPANS MULTIPLE YEARS ON MULTIPLE PRODUCT LINES DEMANDS A RECALL. *TR

2008 SEBRING CONVERTIBLE SHIFTER IS STUCK IN PARK; THE CAR CANNOT BE MOVED. DEALER SAID IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE SHIFT INTERLOCK BREAKING. THE ENTIRE SHIFTER UNIT MUST BE REPLACED; COST $150-$200 SINCE THE SEBRING IS 3 MONTHS OUT OF WARRANTY. THEY SAID THE PART BREAKS ON SEVERAL CURRENT CHRYSLER MODELS ALL THE TIME; A WEB SEARCH CONFIRMS IT. A BRIGHT PINK PLASTIC PIECE BREAKS WHERE A SPRING ATTACHES TO IT, THAT ALLOWS THE INTERLOCK TO DISENGAGE WHEN THE BRAKE IS DEPRESSED. WHAT IF THIS COMMON PROBLEM HAPPENS WHEN YOU ARE IN A REMOTE LOCATION WITH NO CELL PHONE SERVICE? WHAT IF YOU NEEDED YOUR CAR FOR A MEDICAL EMERGENCY? *TR

STARTED THE CAR PUSHED IN ON THE BRAKE AS USUAL TO RELEASE THE SAFETY ON THE GEAR SHIFTER SO IT'D GO IN REVERSE AND IT WOULDN'T GO IN GEAR. I MASHED THE BRAKE HARDER & STILL NOTHING. I TRIED TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL THINKING MAYBE IT WAS THE SAFETY THING LOCKING UP IN THAT BUT IT WAS REAL LOOSE! BY NOW MY KIDS WERE LATE FOR THERE APPTMENTS SO I GAVE UP AND WENT INSIDE AND STARTED CALLING AROUND. THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS A LINE RUNNING FROM MY SHIFTER TO MY BRAKE UP TO THE STEERING I NEEDED TO TOW IT IN COST MY $50-300. MY HUSBAND TOOK MY CONSOLE APART THAT EVENING AND FOUND THAT THE SHIFTER IS LOCKED IN PLACE BY A SMALL PINK PLASTIC DEVICE WITH A WIRE RUNNING THROUGH IT WHICH IS ATTACHED TO YOUR BRAKING SYSTEM SOMEHOW ON ONE END YET ON THE OTHER END ITS ATTACHED TO SOME KIND OF SPRING WHICH IS ATTACHED TO YET GET THIS, ANOTHER PIECE OF PLASTIC! WELL MY SPRING BROKE AND THE PINK PLASTIC THING CRACKED!!! I FIND THIS TO BE A SAFETY HAZARD. I STRONGLY FEEL THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD BE HAVING TO DEAL WITH AND FIX THESE ISSUES. *TR

2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING. ON AUGUST 6TH, THE CAR GEAR SHIFTER KNOB WAS SEIZED IN THE PARK POSITION. UPON READING THE INTERNET, IT BECAME VERY APPARENT THAT THIS IS AN OBVIOUS DEFECT ON CHRYSLER'S PART. THE SHIFT KNOB IS ATTACHED TO A SMALL PLASTIC PINK "FLIPPER" TYPE PART, THAT EASILY BECOMES DETACHED FROM THE SPRING. THE ONLY FIX BY PROFESSIONALS IS A $400.00 REPAIR. THE SAD REALITY IS THAT THE ACTUAL FIX IS A $5.00 PART... *TR

JUST HAD GOT OFF WORK AND CAR HAS BEEN PARK FOR OVER 6 HOURS. WHEN I GOT INSIDE OF THE CAR I WENT TO CRANK IT UP AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. AFTER I TRIED TO SWITCH TO REVERSE TO BACK UP THE GEAR WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO PULL IT BACK OUT OF PARK. TRIED TURNING IT OFF AND ON BUT THAT DIDN'T WORK. *TR

MY BRAKE LIGHTS GO ON FOR NO REASON WHILE DRIVING THE NORMAL SPEED LIMIT. IT WILL GO OFF AFTER I TURN OFF THE VEHICLE BUT THEN AGAIN APPEAR AT DIFFERENT TIMES THE DEALER HAS SAID NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE FLUIDS NOR BRAKES AND CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHY THE BRAKE LIGHT KEEPS APPEARING. *TR

2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING..GEAR SHIFT GETS STUCK IN PARK AND CAN NOT BE RELEASED FROM PARK. THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM AND THEY HAVE TO REPLACE THE PART ON AVERAGE OF 20 CARS PER MONTH. THE DEALER SAID HE HAS REPLACED THE SAME PIECE ON SAME VEHICLE WITHIN A 12 MONTH PERIOD. IT IS A LITTLE PLASTIC PIECE THAT HOLD THE GEAR SHIFTER IN PLACE AND WHEN PLASTIC PART BREAKS THE GEAR SHIFT CAN NOT BE REMOVED FROM PARK. IF THIS PART WOULD HAPPEN TO BREAK WHILE CAR IS IN DRIVE POSITION AND GEARING DOWN TO 3RD GEAR FOR GOING DOWNHILL THERE WOULD BE NO WAY A PERSON WOULD BE ABOUT TO GET CAR OUT OF DRIVE AND COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH IF PERSON WAS UNAWARE THAT THE PART BROKE WHILE DRIVING. CHRYSLER IS NOT TAKING THIS SERIOUS AND TOLD ME TO GO TO THIS WEBSITE AND PUT IN COMPLAINT AND MAYBE COULD GET A RECALL PUT ON THAT PART, BUT UNTIL RECALL IS PUT ON THERE CUSTOMERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR $200 WORTH OF REPAIRS TO FIX A PROBLEM THAT MIGHT HAPPEN AGAIN IN JUST A COUPLE MONTHS. THIS PART COULD EASILY BE REPLACED WITH A METAL PIECE INSTEAD OF PLASTIC. *TR

I'VE HAD TO PUMP MY BRAKES TO STOP AND THERE IS A GRIND NOISE WHEN APPLYING PRESSURE TO BRAKES. I HAVE SINCE REPLACED THE PADS AND WAS TOLD THE ROTORS WERE BAD ALSO. IS IT GOING TO TAKE SOMEONE HAVING AN ACCIDENT OR POSSIBLE DEATH IN ORDER FOR ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN? OR WILL IT TAKE GOING PUBLIC WITH THE MEDIA?

IT DIDN'T SEEM LIKE IT STALLED BECAUSE IF A CAR USUALLY STALLS IT WOULD SHAKE OR SOMETHING. THE CAR JUST TURNED OFF AT THE RED LIGHT AND WHEN THE LIGHT WENT GREEN I COULDN'T GO. I WAS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND HAD TO HAVE PEOPLE GO AROUND ME. I DIDN'T KNOW IF I PUT THE CAR IN PARK I COULD GO AGAIN. I DIDN'T EXPECT IT TO JUST SHUT OFF ON ME IN THE FIRST PLACE IT WAS A NEWER CAR. IT HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN ONCE.

I TOOK THE CAR IN AND THEY PRETENDED NOT TO HAVE A CLUE, AND BEGIN TO INQUIRE ABOUT OIL CHANGES AND OTHER SUGGESTED MAINTENANCE, I SHOWED THE WRITER AND MECHANIC MY MOST CURRENT MAINTENANCE RECEIPT PRINTOUT ALONG WITH THE PREVIOUS DATES, SO THEY BACKED AWAY FROM THE INDIRECT ACCUSATIONS THAT IT WAS POSSIBLY MY FAULT. THE POWER STEERING PUMP IS DEFECTED, THE PULLEY FROZE, AND THE ALTERNATOR. THE CAR HAS ONLY BEEN USED TO TRANSPORT MY CHILDREN TO AND FROM SCHOOL AND SOCIAL EVENTS, AND MY TRANSPORTATION TO AND FROM WORK, GROCERY STORES AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE. MY MILEAGE IS 31,418. THEY ARE BEHAVING AS IF THEY DON'T HAVE A CLUE, BUT AFTER LOOKING INTO SEVERAL RECALL LINKS, I AM APPALLED THAT THEY KNOWINGLY SOLD ME A LEMON AT REGULAR PRICE, WITH NO DISCOUNT. I HAVE SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS. I ONLY RECEIVED ON RECALL NOTICE, BUT BEING THE DRIVER AND EXPERIENCING THE PROBLEMS, THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLS FOR RECALL ID 07V473000, AND RECALL DATED FOR APRIL 2, 2008 SEBRING ELECTRICAL SYSTEM;WIRING RECALL ID 35950. ALSO THE RECALL TITLED ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING;COOLING SYSTEM RADIATOR ID#55084. THE ALTERNATOR IS AN ELECTRICAL OPERATING PIECE, IT ALSO TIE INTO THE RECALL TITLED "TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR, BECAUSE ONE OF THE CONSEQUENCES INCLUDE STALLING, AND BATTERY CORROSION, AND STOPPING WITHOUT NOTICE, WHICH IS ALSO CAUSED BY A DEFECTED ALTERNATOR. I DRIVE TWO SCHOOL AGE CHILDREN, TWO GRANDCHILDREN, 1MONTH, AND 13MONTHS OLD. CHRYSLER PUT US ALL IN DANGER KNOWINGLY. BUT STILL TO DATE ACTS AS IF THEY DO NOT HAVE A CLUE. *TR

ON THE DATE MENTIONED, I WAS DRIVING AN ENTERPRISE RENTAL CAR, 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING LX, FROM IDAHO FALLS, ID TO SALT LAKE CITY, UT. I WAS TRAVELING APPX. 73-75MPH WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL SET FOR THE LAST 50 MILES. I WAS APPROACHING ASEMI TRUCK/TRAILER AND TAPPED THE BRAKES TO DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL. AT THAT TIME THE CAR STARTED TO ACCELERATE, I TAPPED THE BRAKES TWO MORE TIMES TO TRY TO DISENGAGE THE CC AND THE CAR JUST CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. AT THIS TIME I DECIDED I NEED TO TAKE A MORE AGGRESSIVE APPROACH AND STARTED SLAMMING ON THE BRAKES WHICH CAUSED ME TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE CAR AND STRIKE THE REAR END OF THE TRAILER. THAT CAUSED ME TO SPIN OUT OF CONTROL AND ENTER INTO THE CENTER MEDIAN OF THE I-15. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR STOPPED AFTER THE WRECK. FOR WHATEVER REASON, I COULDN'T GET THE CC TO DISENGAGE AND IN FACT THE CC CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SUDDENLY ACCELERATE. I HAD NO CONTROL OF THE SPEED OF THE CAR. THE BRAKES WERE REALLY NOT TOO EFFECTIVE IN SLOWING THE CAR WHILE IT WAS ACCELERATING. *TR
