2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING Electrical System Problems

I've had to replace the battery in this 3 times. Alternator 1. And Throttle Body Position Sensor twice. And now it's all starting to act up again. Car stalls, no reason, all dashboard warning lights flash and it stalls. No dashboard lights at night. Occasionally they flicker. Windshield wipers either won't work or won't shut off. Front windows are unusable, the track broke and back windows don't have power to make them work. Airbag and abs lights always flashing on dash and warning bell goes off all the time. Now my High beam wires have completely crumbled and radio takes 5-10 minutes to come on. Obviously a major electrical issue. I've lost my job thanks to the "reliability" of this money pit. Owned 3 years, problems began then. Today all lights are flashing, the air starts blowing high, wipers go on. I stop at light and it shuts off. Had to push off busy road. Waited half hour and it started, but now check engine, air bag, throttle body and seat belt lights all on. Very slowly, with many breaks, drive home & car smells like burning rubber. Visually can't find source. All fuses are good, and brand new battery last week.

New battery, plugs and wires, new alternator. It will run for 5 seconds after jumping, then lights pop on and it dies. When jumping the negative also throws a spark while trying to start.

There were 7 recalls on my make, year, model vehicle. Three of which were Brakes, Air Bags, and the TPMS tire monitoring system. Other body parts, doors and hood releases had recalls along with hvac/air conditioning systems. Radiator/fan motor failures. Doors flying open during transit. The ABS control module could cause the brakes to lock-up during braking. Shorts from unused connectors for the computer/TPMS system/brakes and air bags have been causing many unpredictable breakdowns. Some predictable, from past records, state recorded Instances from 180,963 vehicles that just failure of the TPMS monitor system has already caused engine no start, dead battery, Inoperable cruise control, remote start system, engine stalling which could cause a "crash without warning". This was what i read on the www.autoblog site concerning this vehicle. I contacted the Chrysler Recall Center and the site says the dealer's techs would seal the wiring "free of charge", and to replace the front seat track position sensors "free of charge". The recall center said they wouldn't do any repairs at their "free of charge" policy for ME. They said that I would have to pay out-of-pocket, when the site says they already serviced 180,963 vehicles "free of charge". I'm broke and on fixed income. Why are they being so unfair. From what I heard, and I could be wrong, but I was made to believe that there is no expiration date for recalls. If they already state online, some of the recalls could cause a "crash without warning", why would they refuse me? This happened yesterday to me. The Check TPMS System warning notice appeared, along with the Air Bag Red warning light at the top of the speedometer, while I was driving. The tire pressure screen appeared showing the tire pressure of the four tires. They are all fully Inflated. The Air Bag red light came on/off a few times, while driving home and the tire pressure screen remains on all the time. I don't want an accident.

HORN STOPPED WORKING AND AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON. IT STOP WORKING WHILE I TRIED PRESSING ON THE HORN WHILE DRIVING.

I HAVE RESEARCHED AND SEVERAL OF THESE CARS HAVE THIS ISSUE. I BOUGHT MY CAR USED AUGUST 2018,I LOVE THIS CAR...BUT.. THE DASH LIGHTS HAVE NEVER WORKED!! SO, IF YOU DRIVE MY CAR AT DARK YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW FAST YOU ARE DRIVING!! PLEASE WON'T YOU FIX THIS? THIS IS A COSTLY REPAIR, THAT IS TOO WELL KNOWN FOR THESE CARS AND MAKES IT VERY DANGEROUS!!! ALSO, THE CRUISE IS AFFECTED AND DOES NOT WORK AS WELL.PLEASE FIX FOR ME.

MY INSTRUMENT PANEL HAS NO BACKGROUND LIGHTS, THEY DO T TURN ON AT ALL. I TOOK IT INTO A LOCAL SHOP AND THEY SAID ALL THE FUSE ARE GOOD AND THEY THINK IT MIGHT BE A MODGULAR (BATTERY) THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF OTHER OWNERS HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR SEBRING AS WELL.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN IN FOR A LONG TIME. I KNOW SOMEONE THAT HAS THE SAME CAR AND THEIR CAR HAS THE SAME ISSUE. ALSO THE TRUE GAGE READER IS MALFUNCTIONING. NOW I HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR STALLING ON THE ROADWAY. I CALLED CHRYSLER ABOUT THE RECALLS AND THE SAID EVERYTHING HAS BEEN TAKEN CARE OF. THEY COULDN'T TELL ME WHO BROUGHT THE CAR IN FIR REPAIRS. I'VE HAD THE CAR FOR 8 YEARS. I DONT THINK THE ISSUES HAVE BEEN RESOLVED. THEY SHOULD AT LEAST BE ABLE TO SEE WHO BROUGHT THE CAR IN FIR THE REPAIRS. THE HEADLIGHTS WILL SOMETIMES GO OFF WHEN GOING AROUND TURNS. I MET THE PREVIOUS OWNER AND HE TOLD ME THAT THESE ISSUES ARE WHY HE GOT RID OF THE CAR. PLEASE HELP ME GET THE RECALLS FIXED SO SOMETHING BAD DOESN'T HAPPEN TO US IN THIS CAR.

I'VE PUT 2 STARTERS ON MY 2007 CHYSLER SEBRING IN THE LAST 3 MONTHS. THE CAR STARTS GREATS THEN WHILE DRIVING IT STARTS TO MAKE THIS LOUD GRINDING NOISE AND ONCE YOU CUT THE CAR OFF IT JUST CLICKS. THIS TIME IT DID THE SAME THING BUT THIS TIME WHEN I CUT THE CAR OFF IT KEPT RUNNING AND I HAD TO GO TURN THE IGNITION SWITCH OFF AGAIN AND OF COURSE IT WON'T START.

THE DEFECTIVE INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM) WOULD CAUSE MY VEHICLE TO DO STRANGE THINGS. LIKE LOOSE COMPLETE POWER WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY OR IN TOWN. ALSO EFFECTS WHERE STARTER CRANKS BUT WONT START. BATTERY WOULD BE DRAINED FOR NO REASON. I HAVE THE VEHICLE IN THE SHOP RIGHT NOW GETTING THAT PART REPLACED. I ASKED THEM WHAT DID THEY FIND OUT ABOUT MY VEHICLE AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS OF THEM WORKING ON IT AND THEY STATED THEY WHERE UNSURE STILL WORKING ON IT. THEY GAVE ME A CALL BACK A FEW DAYS LATER AND THEY STATED THAT THE ISSUE IS THE TIPM AND THAT THEY GOT THAT INFO FROM CHRYSLER BECAUSE THEY EVENTUALLY HAD TO CONTACT THEM TO SEE IF THEY KNEW WHAT THE ISSUE WAS AND THAT THEY TOLD THEM THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE IN CHRYSLER VEHICLES MADE FROM 2007 TO 2014. TO ME THIS PART ON CHRYSLER VEHICLES SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR 0NE IT IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR YOUR VEHICLE TO LOOSE POWER WHILE DRIVING AND ALSO THE FACT THAT THEY KNOW THIS IS AN ISSUE.

DASHBOARD WAS DIM WITH AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT ALWAYS ON WHEN PURCHASED. THE PROBLEMS STARTED WITH DASHBOARD LIGHTS GOING IN AND OUT AND THE WIPERS NOT WORKING PROPERLY AROUND NOVEMBER OF LAST YEAR. WAS TOLD FUSES NEEDED TO BE CHANGED, SO THEY WERE. SAME ISSUE. THEN 3 MONTHS AGO TAILLIGHT BULB WENT OUT, CHANGED IT AND THE TAILLIGHTS HAVE NOT WORKED SINCE. WAS TOLD IT HAS TO BE TAKEN TO DEALER AUTHORIZED SHOP FOR ELECTRICAL BOX REPAIR AFTER TAKING CAR TO THREE DIFFERENT SHOPS WHO ALL SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND THE ISSUE. TODAY BATTERY LOOKING LIGHT CAME ON AND BEFORE I COULD TURN AROUND TO GO BACK HOME THE CAR IMMEDIATELY SHUT OFF AND WOULD NOT START WITHOUT A JUMP. THE LIGHTNING BOLT IN PARENTHESES CAME UP AND CAR ACCELERATED WITHOUT MY FOOT BEING ON GAS BUT WOULD NOT GO ABOVE 30 MPH ONCE I MADE IT HOME IT TURNED OFF AND REFUSES TO START 6 HRS LATER. THE BATTERY LIGHT, LIGHTNING BOLT SYMBOL AND AIRBAG LIGHTS ALL SHOW ON DASH AND WILL NOT GO OFF.

Mileage: 130,000

I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT MY AIRBAG LIGHT COMING ON 1-2 TIMES A MONTH. DOES THAT MEAN THE AIR BAGS MAY SUDDENLY DEPLOY WHILE I AM SITTING AT A LIGHT, OR NOT DEPLOY WHEN INVOLVED IN A CRASH? MY SECOND CONCERN IS THAT MY DASHBOARD LIGHTS STARTED DIMMING AND EVENTUALLY WENT OUT ON THEIR OWN. I CANNOT DRIVE AT NIGHT ANY MORE.I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND THINKING IT WAS A SIMPLE FUSE PROBLEM. NO, IT HAS TO DO WITH THE MECHANIC REMOVING THE DASHBOARD AND GOING INTO THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER BOX AND REPLACING SIMETHING IN THERE. I HAVE BEEN QUOTED $350.00-TO 375.00 DOLLARS.CANNOT AFFORD THAT. MY NEW PROBLEM: DRIVING HOME, GETTING READY TO BACK UP MY DRIVE WAY, THE CAR IS RUNNING HOT, WHEN I WENT TO SHIFT FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE,THE CAR CUT OFF.HAD A HARD TIME TAKING THE CAROUT OF REVERSE TO PARK. LIKE IT WAS STUCK OR JAMMED.MY NEIGHBORS CAME OUT TO HELP PUSH IT OUT OF THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET AND THE FRONT WHEELS WERE LOCKED. THE MEN EVENTUALLY GOT IT PUSHED TO THE SIDE OF THE STREET. THE CAR STARTS AN RUN S WITH NO PROBLEM MY MECHANIS TELLS ME IT IS THE GEAR SHIFTER CABLE US BROKEN. I THOUGHT TOSE WERE MADE TO LAST IN A CAR. MY CAR IS NOW LOCKED IN PARK UNTIL I CANGET THAT FIXED. AS A SENIOR ON A FIXED INCOME I CANNOT AFFORD TO DRIVE THIS OLD CAR I HAVE SADLY PAID FOR.

THE CAR WILL STOP SUDDENLY WHILE DRIVING I'VE BEEN TOLD ITS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE IN THE TRANSMISSION, BUT I SEE FROM THE RECALLS THAT CHRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT THESE ISSUES YET THESE CARS ARE STILL BEEN SOLD AND DRIVEN EVEN THOUGH THEY CAN HAVE VERY DANGEROUS CONSEQUENCES. THE DOORS LOCKS AND UNLOCKS ON THEIR OWN, THE LIGHTS FLICKER. THE CAR WILL ALSO WHILE IN PARK JERK AND REV AS IF SOMEONE IS HITTING THE GAS EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE NOT, THIS ALSO HAPPENS WHEN IN DRIVE AND MY FOOT IS ON THE BREAK

I WAS DRIVING WHEN MY HOOD POP RIGHT UP AND IT HAS BEEN THE SECOND TIME. ALSO MY CRUISE CONTROL DOESN'T WORK AND SOME LIGHT INSIDE DON'T TURN ON OR MY MIRRORS. *TR

PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON AND DASHBOARD CLUSTER DOES NOT LIGHT UP, BOTH ARE DANGEROUS AND SHOULD NOT BE IGNORED.

DASHBOARD LIGHTS INTERMITTENTLY TURN ON AND OFF WHILE CAR IS ON AND DRIVING; ESPECIALLY THE'AIRBAG' AND 'CHECK ENGINE' AND "EXCLAMATION POINT' LIGHTS. THE 'CHECK ENGINE' LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON AND BLINKS WHILE IN DRIVE. WHILE THE CHECK ENGINE IS BLINKING, THE CAR DRIVES SLOWER AND DOES NOT PICK UP SPEED PAST 20 MPH. ALL SPARK PLUGS HAVE BEEN CHANGED AS WELL AS THE CRANKS SENSOR.

FOR THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS MY DASH LIGHTS HAVE BEEN FLASHING, SOMETIMES GOING OFF AND STAYING OFF, AND MY REMOTE START WILL START THE CAR BUT THEN IT IMMEDIATELY SHUTS OFF. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON WHAT COULD BE CAUSING THIS AND DISCOVERED NHTSA REFERENCE # 08V-152, WHICH DESCRIBES EXACTLY WHAT I'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING, AND MY CAR DOES HAVE THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM. WHEN I CONTACTED CHRYSLER THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE HAVE NEVER BEEN ANY RECALLS ON MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE. I KNOW THIS TO BE UNTRUE BECAUSE SHORTLY AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR A SPRING IN THE GEAR SHIFT. CHRYSLER INFORMED ME THAT IF I WANT THIS CORRECTED IT WOULD AT MY OWN EXPENSE. THE PROBLEM THAT INITIATED THE RECALL CAN RESULT IN THE CAR STALLING WITHOUT WARNING AND CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. MY CAR'S VIN DOES NOT COME UP AS A VEHICLE INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL, BUT IF THE PROBLEM IS OCCURRING, THEN WHY WOULDN'T CHRYSLER WANT TO TAKE CARE OF IT FOR SAFETY'S SAKE AND THEIR REPUTATION? BELIEVE ME, I PLAN ON TELLING ANYONE I CAN ABOUT THIS AND I WILL NEVER CONSIDER ANOTHER CHRYSLER PRODUCT.

IN THE PAST 3 YEARS THAT I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE EACH TIME IS RAINS AND/OR HUMID MY CAR WOULD STALL. I TOOK IT TO 2 DIFFERENT MECHANIC SHOPS (THIS WAS DONE IN THE SPAN OF THREE YEARS). UNFORTUNATELY NO ONE WAS ABLE TO FIND OR TO FIX THE PROBLEM. IT SEEMS QUITE DANGEROUS AS MY CAR WOULD STALL AS IT IS RUNNING, WHILE I AM DRIVING (TALK ABOUT UNSAFE). I NOTICED THAT THE ISSUE WOULD SURFACE WHEN IT IS RAINING AND/OR VERY HUMID OUTSIDE. MY CAR WOULD START TO LOOSE POWER, A BIT OF A ENGINE HICCUP, AND THEN AS I APPROACH A STOP OR RED LIGHT, THE CAR WOULD STALL COMPLETELY. WHICH MEANS I NEED TO PUT IT IN PARK, AND RESTART THE ENGINE. MECHANIC CHECKED IT AND SAID THERE IS "NO ISSUES" BUT ANY TIME IT RAINS I HAVE THIS PROBLEM. ALSO THEY CHECKED THE COMPUTER AND REPLACED SOME OTHER RECALLED ITEM, AND COMPUTER DOES NOT SHOW ANY ERRORS. HOW CAN ONE DRIVE A CAR THAT UNPREDICTABLY STALLS AND NO ONE, EVEN THE DEALER, IS ABLE TO LOCATE AND FIX THE PROBLEM?

INTERIOR DASH LIGHTS FLICKER ON AND OFF AT NIGHT, SOMETIMES REMAING OFF. AS SUCH, SPEEDOMETER ISN'T ILLUMINATED, AS WELL AS OTHER GUAGES. I GOOGLED THIS CONDITION AND BY THE RESPONSES I SAW, THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM IN THE CHRYSLER SEBRING AND THERE SHOULD BE AN IMMEDIATE RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT FROM DIVERTING ATTENTION FROM THE ROAD TO THE DASH SITUATION. THIS HAPPENS IF THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED, MOVING, TURNING, ON A CITY STREET AND IN HIGHWAY CONDITIONS. IT HAPPENS WHEN TRAVELING ON SMOOTH PAVEMENT OR ROUGHER CONDITIONS.

MY CHRYSLER SEBRING'S ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT GOES ON FOR A SECOND OR 2 AND THEN GOES BACK OFF RANDOMLY. THE CAR IDLES HIGH AND SEEM TO WANT TO STALL OUT. THE VEHICLE WILL GO INTO LIMP MODE WHEN THE ETC LIGHT IS SOLID AND WON'T GO MORE THAN 10-15MPH. THERE IS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND MECHANIC FOUND NO CODES TO TELL WHAT WAS WRONG. I HAVE BEEN ON THE FREEWAY OR CITY STREETS WHEN IT WILL RANDOMLY GO INTO LIMP MODE AND HAVE TO SAFELY MANEUVER AWAY FROM TRAFFIC AS VEHICLE SLOWS WITH NO RESPONSE FROM THE GAS PEDDLE. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS SAFETY PROBLEM AND NO ONE SEEMS TO BE ABLE TO FIX IT OR FIND THE SOURCE. I OBSERVED MANY OTHERS SPENDING HUNDREDS, IF NOT THOUSANDS, OF DOLLARS ON DIFFERENT SPECULATED PARTS THAT "MAY" CAUSE THIS TO HAPPEN. THE BEST SCENARIO AFTER PEOPLE REPLACED DIFFERENT PARTS WAS THAT THE VEHICLE WAS FINE FOR MAYBE A WEEK OR TWO BUT THE PROBLEMS CAME RIGHT BACK. I HOPE WITH YOUR HELP WE CAN PUT AN END TO THIS UNSAFE CONDITION OF THIS VEHICLE AND PROTECT THE CONSUMERS.

HAVING CONTINUAL ISSUES WITH LIGHTS ON DASH FLICKERING: 2 REPAIRS COMPLETED IN LAST 18 MONTHS AND STILL BROKE. COSMETICALLY, THE CAR IS CRAPPY SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT IT; PAINT FLAKING OFF, TIRE RIMS HAVE PITTED, INSIDE DOOR HANDLES FLAKING OFF PAINT TOO, AMONG A FEW OTHERS. HOWEVER, MY HEATED SEATS BURNING THROUGH IS WHAT HAS ME VERY IRATE! I WAS DRIVING AND HAD TWO ADULT PASSENGERS WITH ME. BOTH OF US IN THE FRONT HAD THE HEATED SEATS TURNED ON RETURNING HOME FROM RUNNING ERRANDS IN THE CITY 45 MILES AWAY. MY PASSENGER IS 8 MONTHS PREGNANT AND I HAVE LOW LUMBAR ISSUES, SO HEATED SEATS ARE ALWAYS USED. WE HAD BOTH COMPLAINED THAT WE FOUND IT WEIRD THAT IF WE MADE QUICK STOPS DURING OUR RUNNING, WHEN WE GOT BACK INTO THE CAR AND TURNED THE HEATED SEATS ON, IT FELT WARMER THAN USUAL. HOWEVER, IF WE WERE SOMEWHERE FOR A LONGER PERIOD OF TIME, THE SEATS DIDN'T GET TERRIBLY HOT RIGHT AWAY. THE CAR SAT FOR 48 HOURS BEFORE IT WAS TIME FOR ME TO PACK UP AND HEAD BACK TO MY OWN HOME, WHEN I NOTICED WHAT I THOUGHT TO BE A STAIN ON MY SEAT (FROM MY DAUGHTERS DOG THINKING HE WAS GOING WITH ME). AFTER TRYING TO CLEAN IT AND NOTHING HAPPENING, I TOUCHED IT WITH MY FINGER TIP, ONLY TO FIND THAT IT WAS A BURN SPOT. IF THAT WOULD HAVE CAUGHT FIRE WHILE DRIVING, I COULD HAVE CRASHED! I COULD HAVE KILLED MY PREGNANT PASSENGER, HER HUBBY AND HER UNBORN BABY! SINCE TODAY IS A HOLIDAY, YOU CAN BET THAT I WILL BE CALLING THE DEALERSHIP FIRST THING TOMORROW.

I PURCHASED MY CAR USED 3 YRS AGO. I PAID IF OFF THIS YEAR. THE ONGOING TROUBLESOME ISSUE IS THAT THE CAR STALLS OUT UNEXPECTEDLY- USUALLY DURING WET WEATHER. IT HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 5 TIMES OR SO. BUT, IT HAS ALMOST HAPPENED MANY MORE TIMES...THE CAR SPUTTERS AND JUST ABOUT STALLS OUT. AGAIN, ALL DURING WET WEATHER. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED CAR AFTER THE 1ST INCIDENT. THEY TOOK THE CAR AND SAID I NEEDED A NEW BATTERY ; THAT IT WAS BEING DRAINED WHEN I HAD WIPERS, HEAT, RADIO ETC ALL ON AT ONCE AND THAT WAS WHY IT STALLED. I WENT WITH IT. WELL, IT HAS STALLED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE. ALL WHILE DRIVING AND VERY SCARY. THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT. ANOTHER THING THAT MAY OR MAY NOT BE RELATED...IS THAT THE DASH LIGHTS FLICKER ON AND OFF; ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE. I WILL BE DRIVING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN CAN'T SEE MY SPEEDOMETER OR ANYTHING. I THINK THERE IS DEFINITELY AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. I SEE THAT THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS RELATED TO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. I THINK THEY SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS. *TR

WHILE A MECHANIC WAS WORKING ON MY CAR HE NOTICED THAT A WIRING HARNESS WAS FUSED TOGETHER, AND THE FAN WAS NOT WORKING. I GOT ON LINE AND FOUND THAT IN NOVEMBER 2007 THERE WAS A RECALL (G39) AND IT WAS PERFORMED ON MY CAR( I PURCHASED MY CAR NEW IN FEBRUARY 2007). THERE WAS NO INDICATION MY CAR WAS RUNNING HOT, BUT, IT OBVIOUSLY COULD HAVE CAUGHT FIRE . THE WIRES WERE ARCING.

I HAD NO BRAKE LIGHTS AND THE SEAT BELT INDICATOR LIGHT KEPT DINGING AS WELL AS THE TIRE LOW INDICATOR. IT WAS ALL BECAUSE OF THE TOTAL INTERGRATED POWER MODULE. IT WAS ON BACK ORDER FOR FIVE WEEKS. IT COST 750.00 FOR JUST THE PART. I FEEL CHRYSLER DOESN'T RECALL THESE EVEN AFTER 1000S OF COMPLAINTS BECAUSE IT IS TO COSTLY. THEY ARE MAKING MONEY ON THE PART ALONE. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHRYSLER OVER THEM NOT DOING THE RIGHT THING. I COULD'VE BEEN REAR ENDED OVER THIS. IT COST ME 995 JUST TO GET THE TIPM PUT IN. I STILL HAVEN'T FIXED THE SEAT BELT DINGING OR THE LOW TIRE DINGING YET. HATE TO SEE HOW MUCH THAT WILL COST. SOMEBODY NEEDS TO MAKE CHRYSLER DO THE RIGHT THING AND ISSUE A RECALL. SAFETY BEFORE ANYTHING. *TR

DRIVING SOUTH, FROM MICHIGAN, HAD DRIVEN APPROX. 600 MILES OF A 700+ MILE TRIP, VEHICLE STARTED "CHUGGING" AT 70MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, DECELERATING, UNABLE ACCELERATE, THIS WAS NOT IN AN AREA OF DIFFERING ELEVATIONS, IT WOULD ALMOST STALL THEN SURGE, THEN REPEAT. CRUISE CONTROL WAS NOT BEING USED AT THAT TIME DUE TO HEAVY TRAFFIC. PULLED THE VEHICLE OFF THE HIGHWAY, INTO A STORE PARKING LOT, SHUT IT OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES, RESTARTED AND NO FURTHER PROBLEMS UNTIL TODAY WHEN DRIVING FOR LESS THAN 15 MINUTES, ON THE HIGHWAY AT 60MPG, HEAVY TRAFFIC, IT BEGAN AGAIN.

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE LISTED ABOVE IN 2011 AT CITY AUTO PLAZA WHILE UNDER WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE SERVED MY PURPOSE AS IT WAS FOR WORK AND NOW SCHOOL ONLY FUEL EFFICIENT. ABOUT 6 OR 7 MONTHS AGO I BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH VEHICLE IT WOULD CRANK BUT NOT START. I WOULD HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC AND NOT FAULTY CODES WERE DISCOVERED. THIS HAPPENED ABOUT THREE OR FOUR TIMES UNTIL FRUSTRATED I PARKED THE VEHICLE AROUND THE FIRST OF FEBRUARY 2013 AND USED MY OTHER VEHICLE FOR SCHOOL. THE OTHER DAY I DECIDED TO HAVE THE VEHICLE LOOKED AT BY ANOTHER LOCAL DEALERSHIP NEAR MY HOME NOT THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP WERE PURCHASED MY DEALING WITH THE DEALERSHIP FOLKS ARE NOT POSITIVE OR BENEFICIAL TO ME. THE MECHANIC AT BUDDY RAYS AUTO CARE IN CANON CITY CHECKED THE VEHICLE AND TRACED THE PROBLEM TO A CONNECTION WIRING SYSTEM THAT WAS ATTACHED TO THE FUEL PUMP. FROM THEIR EXPLANATION THE VEHICLE WAS IN DANGER OF CATCHING FIRE IF THIS PROBLEM PERSISTED. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP IN AN ATTEMPT TO REPORT THIS MATTER AND THEY HAVE NOT ASSISTED TELLING ME INSTEAD THAT THE CAR HAD TO BE IN THEIR SHOP. BECAUSE OF THE DANGER POSED BY THIS PROBLEM I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE REPAIRED AT A COST OF 765.00 DOLLARS TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP, AND WIRING CONNECTORS PLUS LABOR. MY CONCERN FOR THIS CAR HAVING LESS THAN 100,000 MILES IN MY OPINION SHOULD NOT HAVE FACE THIS TYPE OF MALFUNCTION IN THE FUEL AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. *TR

FIRST TWO COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN RECALLED AND SERVICED. SAID RECALLS WERE FOR # 1 ENGINE STALLING AND # 2 DRIVER AIRBAG UNDER SEAT SENSOR ILLUMINATING ON AND OFF ON DASH. EVEN AFTER THE SERVICE WAS PERFORMED FOR THE RECALLS, I STILL HAVE ENGINE STALLING DURING STOPS AND ON DECELERATION THE VEHICLE THREATENS TO STALL. I NEED TO KEEP GIVING GAS AND ON HUMID DAYS THAT IS INDICATIVE OF POSSIBLE RAIN THE THREAT IS MORE OFTEN. THE SECOND RECALL COMPLAINT THAT I AM STILL EXPERIENCING IS THE AIR BAG ILLUMINATOR ON DASH FOR THE DRIVERS SIDE GOES ON AND OFF AND THE WIRES UNDER THE DRIVERS SEAT ARE INVOLVED WHEN DRIVER SEAT MOVES FRONT OR BACK. STALLING IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT CAN CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH TO OCCUPANTS IN THIS CAR OR NEARBY CARS SHARING THE ROAD. ALSO THE AIR BAG SENSOR PROBLEM KEEPS ME IN FEAR THAT THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY WHEN NECESSARY OR WILL DEPLOY ACCIDENTALLY ON ITS OWN WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. I ALSO HAVE A COMPLAINT THAT THE CAR WHEN BRAKING FOR A STOP CONTINUED TO REV CAUSING ME TO USE THE EMERGENCY BREAK AND I HAD TO SHUT OFF THE CAR TO STOP THE CAR TOTALLY.I HAVE NOTICED THAT THIS ISSUE IS COMMON WITH OTHER PEOPLES COMPLAINT AND AN INQUIRY WOULD SEEM IMMINENT FOR SAFETY REASONS. THE DEALERSHIP KNOWING THE RECALLS HAVE NOT SECURED THE PROPER HANDLING OF MY VEHICLE'S SAFETY WANTS TO CHARGE A DIAGNOSTIC FEE OR A SERVICE FEE WHEN IT IS CLEAR THAT THE PROPER SERVICE WAS NOT RENDERED CAUSING RECALL MALFUNCTIONS TO THIS DATE. FOR THE TWO COMPLAINTS THAT HAVE RECALLS THAT I AM INQUIRING ABOUT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED TO THE DEALERSHIP ASAP FOR SERVICE AND I WOULD APPRECIATE THE OUTCOME OF THIS COMPLAINT IN WRITING. AS FOR THE ACCELERATOR PROBLEM I WOULD LIKE TO BE KEPT ABREAST IF A SAFETY ISSUE IS MANDATED FOR THE REPAIR OF THAT COMPLAINT. THANK YOU. *TR

MY SEBRING STALLS WHEN I COME TO A STOP OR AM TRAVELING AT LOW SPEEDS. THE CAR HAS STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS AND IS OBVIOUSLY VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. THE CAR ADDITIONALLY LUNGES AT LOW SPEEDS OR WHEN I ACCELERATE. THE SEATBELT LIGHT ON THE DASH GOES ON AND OFF SPORADICALLY. I HAVE DETERMINED THROUGH PERSONAL INVESTIGATION THE WIRE CONNECTION FOR THE SEATBELT LIGHT IS UNDER THE DRIVER SEAT AND IT DOESN'T ALWAYS MAKE A GOOD CONNECTION. WHEN THE CONNECTOR IS TOUCHED THE LIGHT WILL GO OFF AND ON SO THAT TELLS ME THAT THE CONNECTOR HAS A SHORT AND IS FAULTY. A PLASTIC PART IN THE GEAR SHIFT HAS BROKEN AND MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SHIFT WITHOUT MANIPULATION WITH A SCREW DRIVER, AND THERE IS A LOUD CLICKING SOUND THAT COMES OUT OF THE AIR CONDITION VENT/DUCT WHEN THE AC IS TURNED ON. I HAVE OWNED MANY VEHICLES THROUGH THE YEARS AND THIS IS THE FIRST CAR THAT I HAVE PURCHASED THAT I AM ACTUALLY SCARED FOR MY FAMILY AND I TO DRIVE ANYWHERE. I WILL NEVER AGAIN PURCHASE A CHRYSLER, BUT NOT JUST BECAUSE OF THE ABOVE BUT BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOT GAINED MY TRUST. THIS COMPANY SHOULD TRY A NEW CAMPAIGN OF TRYING TO GAIN THE TRUST OF THE CONSUMER, AND THEY COULD START BY ACCEPTING THE FACT THAT THEY HAVE MANY FAULTY VEHICLES THAT NEED TO BE RECALLED AND REPAIRED, THIS IS NOT ONLY GOOD SOUND ADVICE THIS WOULD BE GOOD BUSINESS PRACTICE. *TR

THE CAR HAD A NEW SET OF SPARK PLUGS AND A TRANSMISSION SERVICE AT 60,000 MILES. THE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN AT FREEWAY SPEEDS WHEN IT LOST POWER AND THEN WAS STUCK IN SECOND GEAR. IT WAS TOWED TO A CHRYSLER DEALER WHERE THEY SERVICED THE TRANSMISSION BELIEVING THAT WAS THE PROBLEM, BECAUSE THE OBDII SYSTEM REPORTED NO CURRENT OR STORED ERROR CODES. THEY RETURNED THE CAR AND STATED THAT IT WAS RUNNING ROUGH AND SHOULD HAVE A TUNE UP. THE CAR WAS DRIVEN ABOUT 180 MILES AT FREEWAY SPEEDS WHEN IT AGAIN LOST POWER AND WAS STUCK IN SECOND GEAR. THIS TIME THE CAR WAS DRIVEN ALONG THE SHOULDER TO THE NEXT OFF RAMP AT WHICH TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO ANOTHER CHRYSLER DEALER WHERE THE OBDII CODES SHOWED THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND AN OXYGEN SENSOR HAD FAILED. THE DEALER REPLACED THESE ITEMS. FUEL ECONOMY DROPPED FROM ABOUT 30 MPG TO ABOUT 23 MPG. THE LOCAL DEALER LOOKED INTO THIS PROBLEM BUT SAID THAT THE OBDII SYSTEM IS REPORTING NO CURRENT OR STORED CODES SO THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO PER THE FACTORY, THEY ALSO HAVE NOTED THAT THE ENGINE IS RUNNING ROUGHLY. CHRYSLER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND AGREED TO REFUND THE COST OF THE TRANSMISSION SERVICE BECAUSE IT WAS NOT THE PROBLEM. I MAILED ALL THE COPIES OF THE REQUESTED PAPERWORK TO THEM BUT THEY NEVER RESPONDED BACK AND HAVE NOT PAID.

MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE. THE LATEST ONE IS THE MOST SERIOUS. A FAULTY ABS SENSOR CAUSE THE BRAKES TO OPERATE ABNORMALLY. THE ABS LIGHT MAY COME ON THEN GO OFF AND (PERIODICALLY GOES ON AND OFF). REGARDLESS OF THE LIGHT STATUS, THE ABS SYSTEM RANDOMLY ENGAGES AND DOES NOT ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO STOP IN A SAFE MANNER. THE ABS WHEN ENGAGED RESISTS THE DRIVER FROM APPLY PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE RESULT IS THE CAR NOT STOPPING. LUCKILY I WAS GOING SLOW AND THERE WAS NO ONE AROUND OTHER WISE THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT. THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON, RESISTED MY BRAKING FORCE THEN WENT OFF AND ALLOW THE BRAKES TO ENGAGE AS ANTICIPATED. THE ROADS WERE NORMAL, DRY AND FREE OF DEBRIS/ LOOSE FILL. THIS HAPPENED TWICE OVER TWO DAYS. ON THE SECOND DAY I PARKED THE CAR AND LET IT SIT UNTIL IT'S SERVICE DATE. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT DIAGNOSED A FAULTY SENSOR WITH CODE C1044. THEY SAID IT WAS DUE TO RUST. FIRST THIS IS A 2007 CAR, SECOND IF RUST ON A SENSOR IS GOING TO INHIBIT NORMAL BRAKING THEN THE PART IS DEFECTIVE AND OR THE DESIGN IS DEFECTIVE. I WAS LUCKY SOME ONE ELSE IS NOT GOING TO BE. ABS IS DESIGNED TO PUMP THE BRAKES UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS. I'M SURE NORMAL DRIVING AT 25 MPH ON A DRY NORMAL SURFACE ISN'T ONE OF THEM. EVEN IF THE ABS FAILS THE OPERATOR SHOULD STILL BE ABLE TO STOP THE CAR BY APPLYING MANUAL FORCE TO THE BRAKE PETAL. THIS FAILURE DOES NOT ALLOW EFFECTIVE USE OF THE BRAKES! SECOND ISSUE IS THE LIGHTS (BOTH INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR DIMMING) WITH AUDIBLE SURGES IN THE CLIMATE CONTROL BLOWER. THE DEALER SAYS THIS IS DUE TO MY REMOTE STARTER EVEN THOUGH THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN OCCURRING WELL BEFORE THE REMOTE STARTER WAS INVOLVED. THIRD ISSUE IS THE REAR WINDOW REPEATEDLY COMING OUT OF TRACK THERE WERE OTHER ISSUES WITH THE BRAKES ROTORS WARPING AND BRAKE LIGHT COMING ON, GAS CAP LIGHT COMING ON, TIRE SENSORS

I'M AFRAID IT'S GOING TO EITHER DEPLOY FOR NO REASON WHILE I'M DRIVING AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, OR NOT DEPLOY IF DO HAVE AN ACCIDENT. MY BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON ALMOST EVERY TIME I STOP AT A LIGHT. I HAVE HAD THE BRAKES CHECKED BY A MECHANIC, AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THEM. MY DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW HAS OCCASIONALLY BEGUN "STICKING". USUALLY IT IS WHEN I HAVE ROLLED IT DOWN, IT DOES NOT WANT TO ROLL BACK UP. MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY, SO I HAVE NOT PAID TO HAVE IT HOOKED UP TO THE COMPUTER AT THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THERE ARE ANY ERROR CODES. THESE HAVE ALL STARTED HAPPENING IN THE LAST THREE MONTHS, AND ARE STEADILY GETTING WORSE. *TR

I OWN A 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING TOURING SEDAN. SOMETIMES WHEN BREAKING OR ACCELERATING, THE VEHICLES ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL SENSOR LIGHT WILL ENGAGE, AND THE CAR MAY FAIL TO BREAK OR ACCELERATE, OR EVEN COMPLETELY TURN OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME ON THE HIGHWAY, AS WELL AS CITY STREETS. THIS HAS BECOME A MORE FREQUENT ISSUE OVER THE PAST 6 MONTHS. THE VEHICLE ALSO SOMETIMES JERKS OR TRANSMISSION WILL SKIP WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I HAVE NOTICED THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS AND RADIO TURN OFF WITH NO REASON WHILE DRIVING. I WAS TOLD NO PROBLEMS COULD BE FOUND WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AS OF THIS MOMENT, AND AM STILL HAVING THESE SAME, DANGEROUS PROBLEMS. *TR

I OWN A 2007 SEBRING (VIN [XXX]) WITH APPROXIMATELY 56,700 MILES. I PURCHASE THE VEHICLE IN NOV. 2008 CONSIDERED NEW WITH 29,000 MILES FROM SATURN OF FREMONT, CA. THE CAR IS DRIVEN PRIMARILY BY MY WIFE TO AND FROM WORK AND TO DROP OFF AND PICK UP THE CHILDREN. AFTER A RECENT OIL CHANGE ON MAY 2, 2010, MY FAMILY AND I NOTICED AN EXTREMELY LOUD ENGINE NOISE. FOR THE FIRST WEEK AFTER THE OIL CHANGE, THE CAR WOULD START FINE BUT THE NOISE BECAME WORSE. THE ENGINE BEGAN TO LOOSE PRESSURE WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND AS OF TODAY, WILL NOT START AT ALL. I VISITED A CHRYSLER AUTOMALL DEALERSHIP ON SOMMERSVILLE ROAD IN ANTIOCH, CA ON SATURDAY MAY 15. I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY A 130.00 DIAGNOSTIC FEE AS THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT THE VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AS I WAS TOLD AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE THAT THE WARRANTY WOULD BE EXTENDED TO 3 YEARS/60,000 MILES. THE TECHNICIAN MENTIONED THAT THE NOISE WAS A RADIATOR OR FAN MOTOR. THEN I CHECKED THE RECALLS FOR 2007 SEBRINGS AND FOUND TWO RECALLS (NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBERS: 08VI52000 AND 07V473000 REGARDING ENGINE AND ELECTRICAL MATTERS, ONE OF WHICH HAS THE SAME CONCERN THAT I HAVE. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND SPOKE TO BRITTANY WHO SAID MY VIN DID NOT HAVE ANY CONCERNS SO THE COMPANY COULD NOT HELP ME.

THE VEHICLE STALLS OR RUNS ROUGH WHENEVER IT IS RAINING OR HIGH HUMIDITY. ALSO THE REMOTE STARTING SYSTEM ACTS UP BY NOT STARTING CORRECTLY OR SHUTTING OFF AT DIFFERENT INTERVALS AFTER IT STARTS. SHUTTING OFF THE ENGINE SOMETIMES AFTER A MINUTE AND COULD STALL AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES. IT IS NEVER SEEMS TO HAVE A PATTERN WHEN THESE SYMPTOMS OCCUR WITH STARTING WITH THE REMOTE OR STALLING WHEN DRIVING. THE PLUGS HAVE BEEN REPLACED AS WELL AS THE COILS BEING CHECKED ON THE PLUGS. THE VEHICLE USES NO SPARK PLUG WIRES SO THESE WOULD NOT APPLY OR BE AN ISSUE WITH THESE PROBLEMS. THIS VEHICLE HAS DONE THIS SINCE IT WAS PURCHASED NEW AND ONLY HAS 30,000 MILES CURRENTLY ON IT. IT IS A 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING WITH A 4 CYLINDER 2.4 L ENGINE. I HAS BEEN BACK TO THREE DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS AND ALL OF THEM SAY IT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL H07. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THIS BECAUSE ACCORDING TO THE LETTERS I COPIED OFF YOUR WEBSITE "ALL VEHICLES" HAD 100% DEFECT THAT WERE MANUFACTURED FROM 3/7/06 - 1/24/08. I WAS NEVER ISSUED A RECALL LETTER FROM CHRYSLER BUT THE CAR HAS THE SAME SYMPTOMS DESCRIBED IN THIS RECALL. IT NOW STALLS VERY FREQUENTLY WHENEVER IT IS RAINING OR DAMP OUTSIDE. IS THERE ANY WAY WE CAN GET CHRYSLER TO LOOK INTO REPAIRING THIS ISSUE? *TR

THIS IS A 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING TOURING SEDAN WITH 2.7 L "FLEX-FUEL" ENGINE PURCHASED USED (ONE PRIOR OWNER IN WI) ON 05-22-09 WITH 31554MI. ACCORDING TO "CARFAX" THE ORIGINAL OWNER HAD REGULAR TIMELY MAINTENANCE DONE. ON 07-11-08 AT 21199MI THE FIRST COMPLAINT WAS MADE AT PURCHASING DEALERSHIP ABOUT ENGINE "STUTTER" OR "JITTER" AT 30MPH PARTICULARLY WHEN ENGINE WAS COLD. NO RECORD AS TO WHAT WAS SERVICED. ON 10-24-08 AT 25276MI THE EGR VALVE WAS REPLACED PER A CHRYSLER SERVICE BULLETIN. THEN ON 01-30-09 AT 27988MI CONCERNING THE SAME SORT OF "STUTTER" OR JITTER" COMPLAINT, A "CO-PILOT" WAS ATTACHED FOR 1 MONTH WHICH RECORDED NO FAULTS. THE VEHICLE WAS OFFERED FOR SALE ON 05-14-09. I HAVE NOTED THE SAME SORT OF PROBLEM SINCE MY PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE ON 05-22-09. WHEN COMING TO A SLOW OR STOP, PARTICULARLY IF THE ENGINE IS COLD (BUT NOT ALWAYS), THE RPM RISES TO OVER 2000, THE CAR "SURGES" AHEAD UNTIL I PRESS THE BRAKE HARDER. (THIS CONDITION CAUSES A MUCH HIGHER CHANCE OF A COLLISION WITH ANOTHER STOPPED CAR, PEDESTRIAN IN A CROSSWALK OR A STATIONARY OBJECT - LIKE A LIGHT POST IN A PARKING LOT.) SOMETIMES THE ENGINE WILL STOP AFTER THIS AND REQUIRE RESTARTING. ONE TIME I OBSERVED THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LAMP COME ON FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS AFTER THE "SURGE". I HAD THE CAR IN TO THE DEALERSHIP (TOYOTA) WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE CONCERNING THE "SURGING" PROBLEM. THEY CHECKED FOR SERVICE CODES (INCLUDING SOFT CODES) AND FOUND NONE. THEY WERE UNABLE TO PROCEED FROM THERE AND SUGGESTED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A CHRYSLER DEALER TO CONTINUE DIAGNOSIS. THIS WILL BE DONE AT THE EARLIEST AVAILABLE TIME. *TR
