2007 Chrysler Sebring Complaint Log

MY 2007 SEBRING STALLS ONLY WHEN RAINING. *TR

MY AIRBAG LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON DEPENDING ON THE POSITION OF THE PASSENGER SEAT. IT CAME ON THE BEGINNING OF THE MONTH AND I TOOK IT TO THE USED CAR PLACE I BOUGHT IT FROM AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING THERE SO I TOOK IT HOME AND WAS PLAYING WITH THE SEAT AND IF THE SEAT IS PUSHED BACK THE LIGHT GOES ON BUT IF IT IS FORWARD THE LIGHT COMES ON. SOMETIMES IT TAKES A MINUTE OR YOU WILL START DRIVING AND IT POPS ON. WHAT SHOULD I DO? *TR

CAR TURNS OFF AUTOMATICALLY AT LOW SPEED. BRAKES LOCK AT THE SAME TIME THIS HAPPENS. I TOOK IT BACK TO DEALER TO GET SERVICED, AND THEY STATED THAT NOTHING WAS FOUND. THE SERVICEMAN DID TELL ME THAT HE CALLED THE CHRYSLER CORP, AND THEY TOLD HIM THEY NEVER HEARD OF ANYTHING LIKE THIS HAPPENING BUT ON A FORUM ON THE INTERNET, THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS OF THIS OCCURRING. I TOLD THE MAN THAT IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND HOW DANGEROUS IT IS, AND HE AGREED WITH ME. THIS MALFUNCTION OCCURRED TWO TIMES ALREADY SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM THE DEALER. FUCCILLO VW 2242 CENTRAL AVENUE, SCHENECTADY, NY 12304 (518) 374-9161. MY NEXT ISSUE IS THAT I NEED SWAY BARS. I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK YESTERDAY DEC 27, 2014, BECAUSE AS I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT, THE LIGHT CHANGED GREEN, THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED GEARS AT THE SAME TIME I ACCELERATED ON THE GAS TO GO AND I HEARD CLICKING FOR ABOUT A MILE. THE NOISE WENT AWAY. I EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM TO THE SERVICEMAN AND I WAS TOLD THAT I NEED SWAY BARS NOW. I JUST PURCHASED THE CAR IN SEPT OF THIS YEAR, AND I'M SO DISAPPOINTED TO ENCOUNTER ALL THESE PROBLEMS. MY EXTENDED WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER THE WORK. I ALSO SAY THAT THIS HAS BEEN WEARING FROM THE PREVIOUS OWNER AND I AM NOT AT FAULT, NOR SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE WORK. I SERIOUSLY DO NOT EVEN WANT THIS CAR ANYMORE, AND I AM PAYING FOR IT MONTHLY FROM A LOAN THEY GAVE ME FROM CAPITAL ONE FINANCING. THIS IS CHAOS, AND HAS EXACERBATED MY ILLNESS OF HAVING MS. I WAS DUPED. PLEASE HELP. *TR

ON THE WAY TO THE HOSPITAL BECAUSE THE PASSENGER WAS HAVING A ASTHMA ATTACK AND THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER HAD TO GET THERE SON SOMETHING TO EAT AND THE PASSENGER STARTED CHOKING MORE BECAUSE OF THE FOOD WAS COOKED IN PEANUT OIL AND IT WAS ANOTHER CAR ON THE SIDE OF US AND MADE US GO OFF THE ROAD AND SENT THE PASSENGER ALL THE WAY INTO A ASTHMA EXACERBATION AND A BRONCHITIS EXACERBATION AND THE CAR CRASHED AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY THE DRIVER,THE PASSENGER AND THERE SON WAS TAKING TO SKYLINE HOSPITAL AND THE DRIVER AND THERE SON WAS RELEASED FROM THE HOSPITAL WHILE THE PASSENGER HAD TO STAY FOR A WEEK AT SKYLINE HOSPITAL FROM THE ASTHMA AND BRONCHITIS EXACERBATION AND A BRUISE LEFT SIDE. *TR

ANYTIME I GET GAS, THE AUTO SHUT OFF IS DELAYED AND MY GAS TANK GETS OVERFILLED WHICH RESULTS IN GASOLINE FLYING OUT OF THE GAS TANK AND SQUIRTING EVERYWHERE. THIS HAPPENS EVERY SINGLE TIME I GET GAS, EVEN IF I TRY TO CONTROL THE GAS FLOW TO BE VERY SLOW. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER, THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR SWITCH AND THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR DOOR PANEL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT CONTINUED TO EXPERIENCE THE VEHICLE JERKING VIOLENTLY AND THEN STALLING INTERMITTENTLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 114,560.

WHEN IT BEGAN, THE CAR SOMETIMES WOULD NOT CATCH WHEN I TURNED THE IGNITION. THEN ONE DAY IT WAS RAINING AND I PULLED UP TO A RED LIGHT AND THE CAR CUT OFF. IT EVENTUALLY PROGRESSED TO THE CAR RANDOMLY SLOWING DOWN AND/OR NOT GOING OVER 20 MPH. WHEN IT FIRST STARTED I COULD TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND IT WOULD BE FINE, NOW THE CAR MUST SIT FOR HOURS BEFORE IT BEGINS TO WORK PROPERLY AGAIN. *TR

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT NIGHT AND DASH LIGHT STARTED FLICKERING AND THEN WENT OFF. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THIS TYPE OF CAR. *TR

THE ELECTRICAL IN THE DASH STARTED FLICKERING ON AND OFF WITHOUT WARNING. EVENTUALLY IT STOPPED WORKING ALL TOGETHER. I TOOK IT TO A SERVICE DEPT I WORK AT AND THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER BECAUSE THEY WOULD HAVE TO RIP THE WHOLE DASH APART AND REPLACE IT. THAT WOULD COST ME AROUND $600. SEEMS LIKE OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. HAS THIS EVER BEEN A RECALL? *JS

TRAVELING AT 60 MPH THE ETC LIGHT BEGINS TO FLASH AND THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE, ALTHOUGH RPMS INCREASE SIGNIFICANTLY. THIS HAPPENS MANY TIMES GOING DOWNHILL. DEALER WAS NEVER ABLE TO REPAIR. RESETS IF CAR IS RESTARTED, BUT THIS IS NOT SAFE TRAVELING AT 60MPH ON THE HIGHWAY IN TRAFFIC. *TR

AIR BAG SENSOR WILL NOT TURN OFF. IT STAYS ON WHILE I AM DRIVING AND WHILE THE CAR IS AT REST. IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR ALMOST TWO WEEKS. I KNOW THAT IT IS NOT THE WEIGHT BECAUSE I DO NOT HAVE ANYONE OR ANYTHING SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. AND EVEN IF SOMEONE IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT IT STILL STAYS ON. *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. AGAIN, IT WAS PULLED OVER SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED WITH NO FURTHER INCIDENTS TODAY. YOU PEOPLE NEED TO DO SOMETHING TO FIX THIS. SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE FATALLY INJURED. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE EXPERIENCING THIS SAME ISSUE. *TR

I CANNOT SET MY ALARM ON MY CAR BECAUSE THE KEY FOBS ARE NOT WORKING AND I HAVE TO SIT IN THE CAR FOR 30-60 SECONDS WAITING FOR THE DASH TO STOP INDICATING THE KEY IS STILL IN THE IGNITION SO I CAN LOCK THE CAR DOORS. IT IS A BIG HASSLE AND INCONVENIENCE. *TR

THE HORN KEEPS RANDOMLY GOING OFF BOTH WHILE IM DRIVING AND WHEN ITS COMPLETELY SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. MULTIPLE TIMES ITS GONE OFF WHILE I'VE BEEN DRIVING ITS ALMOST CAUSED WRECKS. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE AN ACCIDENT DOES HAPPEN. *TR

I WAS A DANGER ON THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE I WAS UNABLE TO MAINTAIN SPEED AS WELL AS THE VEHICLE HESITATING. IT TOOK ME 1HOUR AND A HALF TO TRAVEL 35 MILES. THE NEXT DAY STARTED IT AND THE LIGHT WENT OUT, I HAVE BEEN AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. NO ONE SEEMS TO HAVE AN EASY ANSWER. *TR

REAR WINDOW IS FULL OF DOTS ABOUT 1 1/2 TO 2 INCHES IN DIAMETER. LOOKS LIKE A DEFAULT IN THE GLASS OR THE TINT. WE HAVE TRIED WASHING BOTH INSIDE AND OUT SIDE OF THE WINDOW BUT IT HAS NO EFFECT. THIS STARTED ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO AND HAS JUST BEEN GETTING WORST. IT IS SO BAD NOW YOU CAN NOT SEE OUT THE BACK WINDOW USING THE REAR VIEW MIRROR.

I CAME UP TO THE STOP SIGN AND THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON. I TURNED AND TRIED TO GET TO SPEED BUT COULD ONLY GET TO 35MPH. I TURNED AROUND AND WENT BACK HOME. WENT TO A PRIVATE REPAIR SHOP ON MONDAY, BUT HE SAID IF IT IS RUNNING OK, NOT TO DO ANYTHING. AGAIN IT HAPPENED ON 3/16/14 AS I WAS GOING ABOUT 60MPH. THE LIGHT CAME ON AND I COULD NOT GENERATE ANY MORE SPEED. I PULLED INTO A STORE AND TURNED OFF THE CAR. I WAITED ABOUT 5 MINUTES AND IT STARTED AND NO LIGHT. BEEN DRIVING FINE AGAIN.

LOVE MY CHRYSLER CARS, YES, I HAVE TWO. THE STEM VALVES/SENSORS HAVE BEEN BREAKING OFF OF OUR 2007 MODEL SEBRING. JUST WANTED TO NOTE THIS IN THE DATABASE. HAD SECOND STEM VALVE/SENSOR BREAK THIS WEEK OF NOVEMBER 9TH, 2014 AND WHILE IT WAS GETTING FIXED, I HAD THE CAR REPAIR SHOP CHECK TIRE PRESSURE ON THE OTHER TIRES AND ANOTHER STEM VALVE/SENSOR SNAPPED OFF. THESE ARE NOT CHEAP TO FIX. THAT'S THREE SO FAR, TWO WITHIN DAYS OF EACH OTHER. I PLAN ON GETTING THE LAST STEM VALVE/SENSOR REPLACED SOON AS WHEN THIS HAPPENS, YOU HAVE ONLY FEET BEFORE YOUR TIRE IS COMPLETELY OUT OF AIR. HOPING CHRYSLER WILL POSSIBLY REPAIR WITH BETTER PARTS OR CHANGE IN HOW THEY'RE MADE. I BELIEVE THIS HAS ALREADY HAPPENED BUT JUST RECENTLY. WOULD LOVE TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THESE PARTS BUT I'M NOT HOLDING MY BREATH. THANK YOU. *TR

WHEN TURNING ON THE HEADLIGHTS, THE DASH LIGHT (INSTRUMENT CLUSTER) WILL NOT COME ON RIGHT AWAY. IF/WHEN THE DASH LIGHT DOES TRY TO COME ON, IT FLICKERS AND BLINKS. THIS IS A HAZARD WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT AS YOU CANNOT SEE YOUR SPEED, GAS LIMIT OR ENGINE TEMPERATURE. *TR

EACH TIME I FILL UP MY FUEL TANK, IT SMELLS LIKE GAS ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE CAR. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SO I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORE WHO DIAGNOSED IT AS "GASCAP". I HAD THE GAS CAP REPLACED BUT IT STILL SMELLS LIKE GAS, THE ODOR IS STRONGEST WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. I DID SOME ONLINE RESEARCH AND DISCOVERED THAT HUNDREDS OF OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. I HAVE GREAT CONCERN FOR MY SAFETY. PLEASE HELP! *TR

THE ELECTRIC THROTTLE LIGHT CAME ON. CAR LOSES POWER AND THEN WILL ONLY GO 5MILES P/HR. .VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN YOU ARE ON THE FREEWAY IN BUSY TRAFFIC. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING.

ATTEMPTED TO START VEHICLE IN THE MORNING, TURNED THE KEY TO CRANK MOTOR AND THE ENGINE WOULD NOT START BUT CONTINUED TO CRANK. EVENTUALLY IT STOPPED CRANKING, I ATTEMPTED TO START VEHICLE AGAIN THEN IT STARTED. BEGAN DRIVING MY CAR DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND THE AIR BAGS LIGHT STARTED GOING OFF AND STAYED ON FOR THE REST OF MY DRIVE. ALSO WHILE DRIVING AROUND CORNERS THE BRAKE LIGHT WILL GO OFF AS WELL AS GOING DOWN SOME HILLS. *TR

THIS IS A RECALL ITEM FOR MODELS RIGHT AROUND THE SAME TIME AS MY SEBRING WAS BUILT, I HAVE CALLED CHRY BUT THEY WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. THE AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON!! MY AIR BAG CLOCK SPRING FAILED AND MY AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. I'M TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT MY AIR BAG WILL NOW NOT WORK, AND MY CRUISE CONTROL & STEERING WHEEL HORN . THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE & I NEED TO GET IT REPAIRED QUICKLY BUT AT A COST OF OVER $220, I CAN NOT AFFORD . THIS SHOULD BE PAID FOR BY DAIMLER CHRYSLER!. *TR

ENGINE IS STALLING ONCE CAR IS CRANKED. WHEN PRESSING THE BRAKES TO PUT CAR IN REVERSE OR DRIVE, THE CAR CUTS OFF. ONCE ABLE TO GET INTO DRIVE AND TRY TO DRIVE, THE CAR'S BRAKES CAN NOT BE TOUCHED OR THE CAR WILL STOP INSTANTLY. THE CAR ALSO DOES STOP AND GO DRIVING LIKE IT'S PULLING ON SOMETHING HEAVY. *TR

THE FUEL PUMP WENT ON MY CAR AND WHEN I BROUGHT IT TO THE REPAIR SHOP THEY STATED THAT THE WIRING AND CONNECTORS ON IT HAD BURNED UP, WHICH CAUSED A HOLE TO BE BURNED IN THE FUEL PUMP LINE. I'VE READ SEVERAL OTHER REPORTS OF THIS EXACT SAME THING HAPPENING AND IN SOME OF THOSE REPORTS THEY STATED THAT THIS WAS A FIRE HAZARD. I ALSO HAD TO PURCHASE A NEW HARNESS FOR THE FUEL PUMP SINCE THAT WAS ALL SCREWED UP AS WELL. *TR

THE AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHT WILL TURN ON AND DING. THIS HAPPENS AT RANDOM SPEEDS FOR NO REASON AS WELL AS WHEN MOVING THE SEAT. SEE RECALL ,MFG'S REPORT DATE JUNE 5, 2007 FOR THE COMPONETS: AIR BAG : FRONTAL ON CHRYSLER SEBRING 2007 NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER : 07V-240 SAFETY RECALL G14. HOWEVER WHEN I CALL CHRYSLER I WAS INFORMED MY VIN DOES NOT MATCH THE VEHICLES THAT WERE IN THE RECALL, THEREFORE IT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO CORRECT THIS REPAIR. WHEN I ASKED KELLY WITH WHOM MAY I SPEAK TO I WAS INFORMED NO ONE. SHE WILL ENTER THE INFORMATION IN HER SYSTEM. *TR

WHEN MY HUSBAND DRIVES MY CAR, HE MOVES THE SEAT BACK. WHEN I DRIVE MY CAR, I MOVE THE SEAT FORWARD. THIS ACTION CAUSES THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE DASH TO COME ON. WHEN I MOVE THE ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED SEAT FORWARD/BACKWARD, THE AIRBAG LIGHT WILL "SOMETIMES" GO OFF. THE NHTSA REF 07V240000 REFERENCES A RECALL FOR THE FRONT SEAT TRACK POSITION SENSOR. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER TO SEE IF MY CAR IS ONE THAT HAS BEEN RECALLED. I'M TOLD THAT IT IS NOT. I THINK IT SHOULD BE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AS THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LAMP ILLUMINATED.

I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY. THE ETC LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TURNED CAR OFF, THEN BACK ON AND IT RAN FINE. IT HAS DONE THIS AT LEAST 30 TIMES SINCE. NOW MY ETC LIGHT BLINKS AND CAR WILL ONLY GO 10-20 MPH, SLOWS TO 5MPH GOING UP ANY GRADE. IDLE IS ROUGH AND IDLES BETWEEN 1500 AND 2000. SOMETIMES WHEN I FIRST START THE CAR IT WILL RUN OKAY FOR ABOUT 2-3 MINUTES THEN ETC LIGHT SUDDENLY COME ON, CAR DECELERATES AND I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT SEVERAL TIMES. NOW THE BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF AS DOES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THE DEALER DOES NOT KNOW WHAT IS WRONG. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL VEHICLE. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHRYSLER PRODUCT BECAUSE THEY WILL NOT FIX THIS PROBLEM, ALWAYS SAY THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESTART AND WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE FUEL PUMP AND WIRING HARNESS WERE REPLACED. THE TECHNICIAN DETECTED THAT THE WIRING HARNESS WAS MELTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THERE WAS NOT A RECALL RELATED TO THE DEFECT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 123,000.

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
