2007 Chrysler Sebring Complaint Log

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND FUNCTIONED NORMALLY. ON ANOTHER OCCASSION, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE BEYOND 20 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO ADVISED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHO INSPECTED THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 137,000.

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. THANK YOU FOR READING THIS AND TAKING MY EXPERIENCE AND MANY OTHERS INTO CONSIDERATION. *TR

WHEN FILLING TANK, AFTER GAS PUMP CLICKS OFF, AND NOZZLE IS REMOVED, THE GAS IN THE TANK CHURNS VIOLENTLY UP, AND OUT, LIKE A WHIRLWIND, COVERING ME, AND THE GROUND WITH GAS. THIS HAPPENS EVEN IF I DON'T 'FILL'. DEALER CHARGED ME $444.00 TO SUPPOSEDLY 'FIX' BY REPLACING THE CHARCOAL FILTER, ETC., BUT FIX DIDN'T WORK, AND SAME THING HAPPENED NEXT FILL. NOW WAITING FOR PART TO COME IN AND WHOLE TANK TO BE REPLACED... *TR

WHEN MY HUSBAND DRIVES MY CAR, HE MOVES THE SEAT TO THE VERY BACK POSITION. 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 GO OFF. THE NHTSA REF 07V240000 REFERENCES A RECALL FOR THE FRONT SEAT TRACK POSITION SENSOR. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER TO HAVE THE REPAIR INITIATED; HOWEVER, THEY SAID MY CAR (ALTHOUGH SAME YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL) IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD SPORADICALLY STALL WHEN DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, ATTEMPTING A TURN OR WHEN BRAKING TO A STOP.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 08V152000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,000.

I HAD BEEN EXPERIENCING STALLING PROBLEMS AND AFTER RULING OUT OTHER POTENTIAL CAUSES, I DISCOVERED THAT THE ELECTRICAL PLUG CONNECTING ON TOP OF THE FUEL PUMP WAS SHORTED OUT CAUSING A LARGE HOLE BURNED INTO THE SEALED PLASTIC TOP OF THE PUMP, WHEN THE CONNECTION WAS PULLED FROM IT CONTACTS I DISCOVERED THAT IT WAS SATURATED WITH FUEL. I CONTACTED A MECHANIC AND HE STATED THAT THIS WAS CAUSED BY THE FUEL PUMP DRAWING TO MANY AMPS THEREFORE CAUSING THE SMALL CONNECTORS TO MELT DOWN BECAUSE OF THE HEAT, HE ADVISED THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED IN SEVERAL SEBRINGS AS WELL AS DODGE CALIBER MODELS, AT THIS TIME CHRYSLER HAS NO RECALL AND THE ONLY WAY TO FIX THIS ISSUE IS TO PURCHASE AND INSTALL A NEW FUEL PUMP AT A PRICE OF NEARLY 700.00 DOLLARS. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT IN TIME THE FUEL WOULD HAVE IGNITED DUE TO THE OPEN ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT. *TR

I DROVE MY 2007 CHRY SEBRING TO A STORE AND PULLED INTO A PARKING SPACE AND ATTEMPTED TO PUT MY CAR IN PARK, THE PHYSICAL GEAR SHIFT INSIDE THE CAR WAS IN PARK BUT MY GAGE SAID I WAS IN REVERSE & MY CAR WAS STUCK IN THIS POSITION.

READY TO TRADE IT IN BECAUSE IT KEEPS HAPPENING. *TR

MY AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON FREQUENTLY AND REMAINS ON MOST OF THE TIME. I TOOK IT TO GOLDSTEIN CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE IN LATHAM NY. I WAS CHARGED $120 FOR DIAGNOSTICS AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS AN AIRBAG SENSOR THAT WOULD COST UPWARD OF AN ADDITIONAL $450 TO REPAIR. I FOUND THERE WAS A RECALL ISSUED BY THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ASSOCIATION FOR THIS PROBLEM WITH THE 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING BACK IN JUNE OF 2007. THE RECALL CAMPAIGN # IS NHTSA-07V240000. I CALLED DIAMLER CHRYSLER AT 1-800-853-1403 TO GET THE PROBLEM RESOLVED AND TO RECOVER THE $120 I PAID TO THE GOLDSTEIN DEALERSHIP FOR AN ISSUE THAT WAS COVERED IN A RECALL. DIAMLER CHRYSLER SAID THEY HAD NO RECALL FOR AN AIRBAG SENSOR ON THE 2007 SEBRING. I CALLED BACK THE NHTSA AT 1-888-327-4236 AND CONFIRMED THE RECALL WAS IN FACT ISSUED. I FILED A CASE WITH THE NHTSA, AND THEY REFERRED ME TO THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION AT 1-877-382-4357 WHERE I ALSO FILED A REPORT. THE FTC ALSO REFERRED ME TO THE NYS CONSUMER PROTECTION BOARD. COMPLAINTS TO THEM MUST BE FILED IN WRITING. I REQUESTED A COMPLAINT FORM. I CALLED DIAMLER CHRYSLER BACK AND FILED A CASE. I CONTACTED THE DEALER CUSTOMER SERVICE MANAGEMENT BACK, WHERE I SENSED THERE WASN'T THE LEAST BIT OF SYMPATHY OR CONCERN FOR MY FAMILY'S SAFETY. *TR

THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHT THAT ILLUMINATES THE SPEEDOMETER AND OTHER GAUGES WORKS RANDOMLY. AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATES AND THE WARNING BELL SOUNDS AT RANDOM TIMES. ENGINE STALLS WHEN STOPPING AND STARTING IN WET WEATHER. *TR

FUEL PUMP CONNECTOR MELTED THOUGH AT THE GAS STATION AFTER A FILL UP. THE CAR STARTED BUT IMMEDIATELY STOPPED. FAILED TO START AFTER THAT. AFTER A TOW THE REAR SEAT WAS REMOVED AND THE FUEL PUMP CONNECTOR REMOVED. THE CONNECTOR WHEN REMOVED STILL CONTAINED THE PIN THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN MOLDED INTO THE FUEL PUMP. FUEL RUSHED OUT OF THE CONNECTOR, FELT VERY LUCKY IT WAS GAS AND NOT FUMES. IF THE TANK HAD NOT BE FULL A FIRE WOULD HAVE BEEN INEVITABLE BASED ON THE MELTED BLACK PLASTIC ON THE FUEL PUMP. *JS

THE AIR BAG LIGHT FOR PASSAGE SEAT DO NOT GO OFF WHEN STARTING VEHICLE.

WHEN TURNING STEERING-WHEEL TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT THERE IS A KNOCKING NOISE. THE FIX IS THE REPLACEMENT OF "GEAR-RACK" WITH INNER-TIE-RODS, AND FRONT-END REALIGNMENT AT A COST OF $1000.00. THIS SEEMS TO BE A CHRONIC PROBLEM WITH THIS SERIES OF THE CHRYSLER SEBRING. HERE'S AN EXAMPLE OF THE ONLINE CHATTER: HTTP://WWW.SEBRINGCLUB.NET/BOARD/VIEWTOPIC.PHP?F=32&T=26163 *JS

AS I WAS SLOWING FOR A RED SIGNAL AT AN INTERSECTION, MY ENGINE SHUT OFF AS IF I TURNED OFF THE KEY. IT DIDN'T SHUDDER OR GIVE ANY INDICATION THAT THERE WAS DIFFICULTY WITH THE ENGINE PERFORMANCE, IT SIMPLY CEASED RUNNING. I READ A AP ARTICLE ON THE CHRYSLER 200 ENGINE STALL IN THIS MORNINGS PAPER AND NOTED THAT MOTOR BEING INVESTIGATED BY YOUR AGENCY WAS THE SAME MOTOR THAT IS IN MY SEBRING. I WANTED TO NOTIFY YOU OF MY PROBLEM TO MAKE A WRITTEN RECORD IN THE EVENT THAT THE PROBLEM CONTINUES OR EXACERBATES AND THERE IS A NEED FOR ME TO BRING MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE PROBLEM REPAIR. *TT

I WAS GOING PARK UNDER MY CARPORT AND THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP, I KEPT PRESSING THE BRAKES DOWN AS HARD AS I COULD BUT THE CAR KEPT MOVING UNTIL I PULLED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ALMOST WENT INTO MY HOUSE. ANOTHER INCIDENT WHERE I WAS CROSSING THE THRUWAY AND THE CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION WITH CARS COMING, CLOSE TO GETTING HIT BY MULTIPLE CARS, OTHER INCIDENTS WHERE THE CAR KILLS WHILE UNDER THE RED LIGHT, HAVE TO RESTART IT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY I LOST POWER TO MY CAR. IT WOULDN'T GO FASTER THAN 25-30 MPH EVEN WHEN I FLOORED IT. THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT STARTS BLINKING ON THE DASH. HAPPENED A COUPLE TIMES, ABOUT 5-6 MONTHS APART, AND I FOUND OUT THAT IF I TURNED MY CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT WOULD RUN JUST FINE AGAIN. RECENTLY BEGAN HAPPENING WHENEVER I DRIVE FOR MORE THAN ABOUT AN HOUR, REALLY DANGEROUS WHEN IT HAPPENS ON THE INTERSTATE. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED AND THEY SAID THAT THE COMPUTER NEVER REGISTERED ANYTHING AND THEY CAN'T TELL WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT UNLESS IT IS HAPPENING WHEN I BRING IT IN. NEVER HAPPENS WHEN I'M NEAR A REPAIR SHOP THOUGH. LOOKED IT UP ONLINE AND APPARENTLY PLENTY OF OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. FED UP WITH IT. *TR

THE DASH LIGHTS STARTED BLINKING LIKE A STROBE LIGHT NOW THEY WILL JUST BE OFF COMPLETELY AND RANDOMLY COME BACK ON. WHEN THEY ARE OFF AT NIGHT I CANNOT SEE MY SPEED GAS OR TEMP. *TR

2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING DEFECT SEAT BELT DID NOT HOLD ME NOR DID MY AIR BAG DEPLOY. I AM STILL SERIOUSLY INJURED BECAUSE A HIGH SPEEDING DRUNK TRUCK DRIVER HIT MY CAR. I BEEN RECEIVING TREATMENTS FOR MY INJURIES AND STILL IS. I CANNOT WORK BECAUSE OF THIS. IT IS TIME FOR THE MAKER WHICH IS CHRYSLER TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND COMPENSATION FOR ME BECAUSE I AM STILL RECEIVING TREATMENT TODAY AND HAD SURGERY SINCE THE BAD CAR WRECK I WAS IN 2012. *TR

WHEN MY CAR IS CRUISING LESS THAN 20 MILES PER HOUR THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT FLASHES ON AND OFF AND IT'S HARD FOR THE CAR TO PICK UP SPEED. I HAVE TO PULL OVER CUT THE CAR OFF AND CUT IT BACK ON. *TR

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

THE INCIDENT: DURING FILL UP AT GAS STATION, AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF OF THE GAS PUMP OCCURRED WHEN TANK WAS FULL. HOWEVER, GAS OVERFLOWED FROM UNDERNEATH FILL LOCATION (ABOVE WHEEL WELL) AND LEAKED ALL OVER GROUND. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE THE CAR HAD 80,000 ON THE ODOMETER. I HAVE TRIED DIFFERENT WAYS OF PUMPING GAS INTO CAR, ALL WITH SAME RESULT OF OVERFLOW. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING. WHILE PARKED, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED AS THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WHERE THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER STATED TO THE CONTACT THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE FAILURE UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 08V152000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING), BUT THE RECALL HAD ALREADY BEEN PERFORMED. THE CONTACT INSPECTED THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM AND NOTICED THAT THE WIRING WAS MELTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,000.

HAD AT LOCAL MECHANIC FOR 1 WEEK-NO CODES WILL COME UP. SEVERAL COMPONENTS REPLACED-STILL REFUSES TO START... NOW BEING TOWED TO CHRYSLER DEALER----AND VIN#--IS NOT LISTED ON RECALL. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING. RECENTLY WITHIN THE LAST YEAR THE CAR WOULD STALL AT STOP LIGHTS AND THEN LATER THIS WEEK WOULDN'T START. TOWED TO THE SHOP ONCE AND THE VEHICLE STARTED FOR THE SHOP AND WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. SO I DROVE THIS CAR THROUGHOUT THE WEEKEND AND HAD NO ISSUES WITH IT. MONDAY MORNING MY WIFE GOES TO GET IN THE CAR AND IT WOULDN'T START HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED BACK TO THE SHOP. THIS TIME PROBLEM NEVER WENT AWAY. MY SHOP WHERE I TOOK THE VEHICLE STARTED LOOKING INTO THE PROBLEM AND FOUND OUT THE FUEL PUMP CONNECTOR HAD MELTED CAUSING THE FUEL PUMP TO STOP WORKING. MY CONCERN IS THAT MELTING WIRES AND CONNECTORS RIGHT AROUND A FUEL SOURCE COULD CAUSE A DEADLY FIRE ALL IT NEEDED WAS A SPARK FOR THE CAR TO IGNITE WITH A CHILD IN THE BACK SEAT. I KNOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME STALLING ISSUES AND I FEEL THIS IS SOMETHING THAT POSSIBLY NEEDS INVESTIGATED BEFORE SOMEONE LOSES THEIR LIVES FOR A FAULTY WIRING ISSUE WITH THESE CARS. *TR

IN DECEMBER OF 2011 I TOOK MY CAR INTO MOSS BROS. CHRYSLER OF SAN BERNARDINO DUE TO THE AIR BAG LIGHT FOR THE DRIVERS SEAT GOING ON AND OFF. THEY CHECKED THE PROBLEM OUT AND DETERMINED THAT WHEN THE DRIVERS SEAT IS ALL THE WAY BACK THAT THE SEAT ADJUSTER SPRING IS BROKE AND DAMAGED WIRING TO THE SEAT TRACK SENSOR. RECOMMENDED TO REPLACE SEAT ADJUSTER AND WIRING. THESE ARE THE WORDS USED BY THE MECHANIC AS TO WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. CHRYSLER WAS CONTACTED WITH A REQUEST TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM AT THEIR COST, AND THAT WAS DENIED. I HAVE MADE CONTACT WITH CHRYSLER CONCERNING THIS MATTER AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING, THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM REPAIRED. OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS THE PROBLEM HAS COME AND GONE. NOW THE PROBLEM HAS COME BACK UP AGAIN. I AM IN FEAR OF THE AIR BAG GOING OFF ON ITS OWN OR NOT OPERATING PROPERLY IF INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. I AM TIRED OF PURSUING THIS MATTER WITH CHRYSLER AND FINALLY JUST GAVE UP. AFTER TALKING TO A MECHANIC FRIEND OF MINE HE TOLD ME TO CONTACT YOUR AGENCY TO SEE IF YOU CAN GET ME SOME SORT OF SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM. RIGHT NOW I AM HAVING THE AIR BAG LIGHT PROBLEM DAILY AND AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY AND OTHERS THAT MAY BE IN MY CAR WITH ME. I DO HOPE THAT YOU ARE ABLE TO HELP ME GET THIS PROBLEM TAKEN CARE OF. I CAN NOT AFFORD TO PAY THE $1000.00 PLUS DOLLARS THAT I WAS QUOTED FOR THE REPAIR. I AM A DISABLED SENIOR CITIZEN LIVING ON JUST MY SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY AND DO HOPE THAT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM FOR ME. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME CONCERNING THIS MATTER AND I DO LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I WAS S/B ON I-75 IN KENTUCKY AT APPROXIMATELY THE 56 MP WHEN I FELL ASLEEP. THE FRONT END STRUCK THE END OF A GUARD RAIL AND THEN THE CAR SWUNG AROUND, SLID SIDEWAYS, AND ROLLED OVER STOPPING ON IT'S LEFT SIDE. NO AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE VEHICLE HAD BOTH FRONT AND SIDE AIR BAGS. THE KENTUCKY STATE POLICE, POST 11, TOOK THE REPORT AND THE MOUNT VERNON, KY FIRE DEPARTMENT GOT US OUT. NO WAS INJURED THANKS TO SEAT BELTS BUT THE AIR BAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE SIDE AIR BAGS WOULD DEPLOY WHEN THEY USED THE 'JAWS' TO CUT THE SIDE POSTS BUT THIS DID NOT HAPPEN EITHER. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING AUTOMATIC 4 CYLINDER. WHEN DRIVING THE CAR INTENDS TO STUTTER SOMEWHAT. ESPECIALLY IN THE RAIN. BUT WHENEVER IT ACCELERATES AT LOW SPEEDS IT WOULD JUMP OR HESITATE LIKE IT WANTS TO STALL, I DONT KNOW IF IT COULD BE THE FUEL TYPE. I TALKED IT OVER WITH THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID IT COULD BE ANYTHING. I HAVENT GOTTEN IT CHECKED OUT YET BECAUSE THEIR GOING TO CHARGE ME AND IF THEY CANT FIGURE THE PROBLEM OUT. THEN I WONT BE ABLE TO GET MY MONEY BACK. PLUS WHEN GOING UP A HILL AT A STEADY PACE AND AT USUAL IT WOULD NORMALLY DECREASE IN SPEED, I WOULD HAVE TO SMASH ON THE PEDAL TO JUST KICK IT IN THE NEXT GEAR. *TR

PURCHASED 2007 SEBRING BASE MODEL ONE MONTH AGO. HAD DEALERSHIP COMPLETE ALL RECALLS BEFORE PURCHASE. TAIL LIGHTS ATTACHED TO THE UPPER PORTION OF THE TRUCK FLOODED/FILLED WITH WATER ANYTIME THERE WAS RAIN AND WHEN YOU OPEN THE TRUNK IT DUMPS THE WATER ON YOUR HEAD.

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

SINCE WE'VE OWNED THE CAR ITS STALLS OUT A FEW TIMES A WEEK AND MORE LIKELY WHEN ITS RAINING, WHENEVER U GO TO STOP OR SIT IT STALLS OUT, THE WORST WAS WE WERE AT A YELLOW LIGHT AND THE CAR STALLED IN THE INTERSECTION,I'VE BEEN READING OTHER COMPLAINTS ONLINE AND IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS NO CLUE HOW TO FIX THE ISSUE. *TR
