2007 Chrysler Sebring Complaint Log

OUR 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING'S AIRBAG LIGHT HAS COME ON. IT WAS ON JUST A FEW MINUTES AND WENT OUT. IT STAYED OUT FOR ABOUT A MONTH AND NOW HAS COME ON AND STAYED ON. WE HAVE 41,000 MILES ON IT AND WE HAVE NOT HAD IT FOR 3 YRS YET BUT HAVE BEEN TOLD IT COULD COST US NO LESS THAN $89 TO FIX. THE BOOK SAYS CONTACT A GARAGE RIGHT AWAY FOR REPAIR. WE DON'T KNOW WHETHER THIS AIRBAG WILL COME OUT WHILE DRIVING OR NOT. SHOULD THIS BE A RECALL OR SHOULD WE HAVE TO PAY FOR FIXING THIS PROBLEM. *TR

THE CAR RUNS FIND MOST OF THE TIME. BUT SOMETIMES, WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING, THE ACCELERATOR WILL LOSE POWER AND REGARDLESS OF HOW MUCH PRESSURE YOU APPLY, THE CAR WILL NOT GO FORWARD. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL OF THE TIME. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO A CHYRSLER DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES AND THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO FIX IT. *TR

DEFECTIVE AIRBAG SYSTEM ON CHRYSLER SEBRING AFTER 50,000 MILES. ALTHOUGH THE CAR HAS NEVER HAD ANY ACCIDENT THAT MAY INVOLVE THE USE OF AIRBAGS. THE AIRBAG SIGNAL WILL GO OFF ON THE 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING DASHBOARD, OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN....THEN IT WILL STOP FOR ABOUT TWO TO FOUR TWENTY HOURS. AND IT WILL GO OFF AGAIN .... *TR

I HAVE A 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND OFF,BUT NOW ITS ON AND WONT GO OFF. *TR

I BOUGHT MY 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING BACK IN OCTOBER 2007 AND HAVE HAD IT EVER SINCE. HOWEVER, AFTER THE FIRST YEAR , I STARTED HAVING PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT WHICH WILL COME ON SOMETIME AND NEVER GO OFF UNLESS YOU STOP THE CAR AND RESTART. THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT ALWAYS COME ON WHEN I AM IN HEAVY HIGHWAY TRAFFIC OF WHEN I AM DRIVING IN THE CITY . 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.THEREFORE WHEN I DRIVE I ALWAYS MAKE SURE I AM CLOSE TO THE CURB. 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. MANY OTHER OWNERS OF 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENED TO ME ALREADY MORE THAN 30 TIMES, LUCKILY I AM A GOOD DRIVER, AND WITH LUCK I WAS ABLE TO HANDLE THE CAR. I WENT TO PENNSYLVANIA THIS WEEKEND AND ALMOST DID NOT MAKE IT HOME. ALSO LAST NIGHT IT HAPPENED TO ME TWICE AT 12 AM RIGHT AT THE EXIT OF 295 WHILE THERE WAS CARS BEHIND ME AND I ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENTS. *TR

RT.1 CARIBOU, MAINE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55-60 MPH IN A 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING. TWO (2) PASSENGERS. DRIVING NORTH I STRUCK A BLACK BEAR IN A FRONT END COLLISION AS IT WAS CROSSING THE ROAD FROM MY LEFT INTO MY LANE. APPROXIMATELY FOUR-THOUSAND (4,000) DOLLARS IN DAMAGE WAS DONE TO THE VEHICLE MOST OF IT TO THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, INCLUDING HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY, HOOD, GRILL, DRIVERS SIDE FENDER AND OTHER DAMAGE. BODILY INJURY IS TO DRIVER ONLY INCLUDING NECK INJURY AND BACK AND SHOULDER PAIN. THE REASON FOR THIS COMPLAIN IS DUE TO NEITHER THE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG NOR THE PASSENGERS SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD LOOSE POWER AND STALL SPORADICALLY AND WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 08V152000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 49,000.

WHILE MY 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING WAS UNDER WARRANTY ATT AROUND 20000. MILES I REPORTED A NOISE/VIBRATION ON THE LEFT REAR WHEEL. THE DEALER FIXED SOMETHING BUT I CONTINUED TO HEAR NOISE. SO BEFORE WARRANTY WAS UP IN AUGUST 2008 I TOOK IT BACK AND THEY REPLACE THE LEFT REAR WHEEL BEARINGS. IN MARCH 2009 WHILE I WAS AT THE TIRE STORE TO PURCHASE TIRES THE SALESMAN THERE SAID MY LEFT REAR WHEEL WAS DANGEROUSLY READY TO FALL OFF. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID TO BRING IT RIGHT OVER AND THEY FIXED IT EVEN THOUGH IT WAS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY. NOW, ONE YEAR LATER MY LEFT REAR WHEEL BEARING IS GONE AGAIN. THE DEALER IS APPREHENSIVE ABOUT REPAIRING IT AND THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID WE SHOULD NOT DRIVE IT. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY IT IS GOING OUT ALL THE TIME IT HAS 60000. MILES ON IT AND NEEDS IT'S 4TH LEFT REAR WHEEL BEARING. NONE OF THE OTHER WHEELS ARE AFFECTED. PLEASE HELP NOW. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HER GEAR SHIFT SELECTOR WOULD NOT RELEASE FROM PARK. THE CONTACT WOULD HAVE TO USE A SCREWDRIVER AND AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, THE SELECTOR WOULD RELEASE. THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT WAS ALSO DEFECTIVE AND WOULD ILLUMINATE SPORADICALLY. IN ADDITION, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW WOULD NOT OPEN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 68,000.

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

2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING TOURING. CONSUMER STATES ENGINE FIRE AND INSPECTOR FOUND NO INDICATION OF A MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT CAUSED OR CONTRIBUTED TO THE INCIDENT. *TGW

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED WITH THE ILLUMINATION OF THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL WARNING INDICATOR. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AND RESUMED AS NORMAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER TWO TIMES AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO LOCATE THE PROBLEM. THE IDENTICAL FAILURE RECURRED NINE TIMES. IN ADDITION, THE ALTERNATOR WAS REPLACED THREE TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING, THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM THAT HAS RESULTED IN NUMEROUS TRIPS TO THE MECHANIC. I HAVE A CONSTANT VIBRATION WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE FROM SPEEDS AROUND 50-70+ MPH. WHATEVER THE VIBRATION IS CAN BE FELT THROUGHOUT THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT AS IF YOUR SITTING IN A MASSAGE CHAIR. THIS PROBLEM IS ALSO CAUSING THE BRAKE ROTORS TO WARP AND FAIL (SAFETY SAFETY) ISSUE. I AM ON MY FOURTH SET OF ROTORS, THIRD SET OF BRAKE PADS, AND THIRD SET OF TIRES. IN ADDITION I HAVE REPLACED THE HUB BEARINGS AS WELL. ALL BY THE RECOMMENDATION OF VARIOUS MECHANICS. I AM AFRAID THAT SINCE MOST OF MY TIME IN MY VEHICLE IS ON THE INTERSTATE THAT I WILL HAVE A COMPLETE FAILURE AT HIGH SPEEDS. THE CHRYSLER DEALER DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THE ISSUE THEY ONLY WANT YOU TO KEEP COMING BACK PAYING THE OUTRAGEOUS LABOR RATES. ONE REPAIR SHOP ALL BUT TOLD ME TO STOP COMING. THIS VEHICLE HAS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY CHRYSLER. THIS PROBLEM IS ON GOING AND I HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT EVERYDAY, CAUSE NO ONE CAN FIX IT. WHEN THE ROTORS WARP THE VEHICLE IS HARD TO CONTROL WHILE BRAKING. *TR

AFTER DRIVING MY CAR FOR A 30 MIN OR MORE, PARK, TURN OFF, COME BACK 20 MIN TO 1HR STARTER CRANKS AND CRANKS AND CRANKS. IT EVENTUALLY STARTS. *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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE HAVING THE VEHICLE SERVICED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, SHE WAS INFORMED THAT THE BRAKES, ROTORS, AND CALIPERS ALL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE HAD SINCE RECURRED EVERY TWO MONTHS. THE VEHICLE WILL BE TAKEN BACK TO THE REPAIR SHOP WHERE THE BRAKES, ROTORS, AND CALIPERS WOULD BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT ANY PRIOR WARNINGS. SHE ALSO SMELLED A BURNING ODOR AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE. A LOCAL MECHANIC STATED THAT THE COMPUTERIZED SYSTEM FAILED. NO REPAIRS WERE MADE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 66,000.

THE ILLUMINATION OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER BOARD HAS WENT OUT. IT KEPT FLICKERING ON AND OFF, BUT NOW IT STAYS OFF. I CAN NOT DRIVE THE CAR AT NIGHT BECAUSE I CAN NOT SEE THE SPEEDOMETER. *TR

MY CAR LOST PRESSURE WITHOUT WARNING DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC ON THE INTERSTATE AND JUST CAME TO A STOP AND THE ENGINE WAS BARELY RUNNING EVENTHOUGH IT NEVER CUT OFF. IT WOULD CRANK FINE BUT WOULD NOT MOVE, NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU MASH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON , THEN BLINKED A FEW TIMES AND WENT BACK OUT. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED AND ABOUT 4 HOURS LATER, I WENT TO CHECK IT AGAIN AND IT STARTED BACK TO DRIVING FINE. I JUST NEW I WOULD GET SLAMMED INTO ON THAT INTERSTATE. PLEASE CHECK INTO THIS MATTER THANK YOU. *TR

HIGHWAY SAFETY THERE ARE MILLIONS OF AUTOS ON THE U.S. HIGHWAYS (AND AROUND THE WORLD), WITH HEADLIGHT LENSES THAT ARE FOGGY THAT IS, NO LONGER CLEAR. THE RESULT IS THAT THE LIGHT FROM THE HEADLIGHTS IS DISPERSED MORE WIDELY AND NOT FOCUSED FORWARD, FOR THE DRIVER TO SEE THE ROAD AHEAD. FOR DRIVERS GOING IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION, IT RESULTS IN BLINDING THEM. ALL OF THIS CAN CONTRIBUTE TO INCREASED TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS AND DEATHS. THE AUTO MANUFACTURERS HAVE BEEN ALLOWED TO GET AWAY WITH THIS TERRIBLE CAR DESIGN FAR TOO LONG. THEY MUST BE REQUIRED TO USE MATERIALS FOR THE HEADLIGHT LENSES, THAT WILL NOT PIT AND ABRADE OVER TIME, THUS RETAINING THE CLARITY OF ORIGINAL MANUFACTURE. JUST LOOK AROUND AT VEHICLES ON THE ROAD. THE PROCESS OF DETERIORATION BEGINS WHEN THE VEHICLE HITS THE ROAD FOR THE FIRST TIME. THE PLASTIC MATERIALS USED GRADUALLY ABRADE DUE TO WIND, MUD, SALT, ETC., ETC. WHILE THERE ARE PROCESSES THAT AUTO OWNERS CAN USE OR HAVE PERFORMED, TO POLISH THE LENSES AND REASONABLY RESTORE THE ORIGINAL CLARITY. FEW DO IT BECAUSE THEY EITHER DONT RECOGNIZE THE PROBLEM OR DO NOT WANT TO SPEND THE TIME/MONEY TO CORRECT IT. IF THE GOVERNMENT CAN REQUIRE SUCH SAFETY ITEMS AS SEAT BELTS AND AIR BAGS, IT CAN REQUIRE BETTER MATERIALS FOR HEADLIGHT LENSES AND SAVE LIVES. GO BACK TO GLASS THIS CONDITION DID NOT DEVELOP WITH THE OLD SEALED-BEAM HEADLIGHTS. GLASS CAN BE MOLDED TO ANY SHAPE DESIRED. THE MATTER SHOULD HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED YEARS AGO. THE NHTSA HAS BEEN NEGLIGENT IN NOT DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE. DONT WAIT!! WHILE I CANNOT SPECIFY A SPECIFIC DATE OF AN ACCIDENT OR VEHICLE RELATED TO THIS PROBLEM, I HAVE ENTERED BELOW, IN ORDER TO GET THIS MESSAGE DELIVERED. AS I SAID JUST LOOK AT CARS IN YOUR PARKING LOT, EVEN YOU OWN VEHICLE (UNLESS IT IS ONLY A COUPLE OF YEARS OLD) AND YOU WILL SEE WHAT I MEAN.

I HAVE A 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING AND THE GEAR SHIFTER STOPPED WORKING. (SHIFT ASSEMBLY) THE SHIFTER WILL NO LONGER SHIFT OUT OF PARK BY JUST PRESSING THE BREAK. WE TRIED TO RESET IT BUT IT WOULD NOT WORK AND ALSO TRIED OTHER OPTIONS IN THE CAR MANUAL AND THEY DIDN'T WORK. WE TOOK THE COVER OFF AND TRIED TO FIND THE PROBLEM WE FOUND THAT THE ONLY WAY TO MOVE INTO GEAR IS BY PRESSING DOWN THE PINK BUTTON ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE IN THE DOWNWARD POSITION WHILE PRESSING THE BREAK AND IT WILL GO IN AND OUT OF GEAR. WENT TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THEY HAVE SEEN THIS PROBLEM IN THIS YEAR MODEL AND MAKE. THE ISSUE IS ABOUT $300 TO FIX, WE HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR LESS THAN A YEAR BEFORE IT HAPPENED AND THE CAR ITSELF IS IN GREAT CONDITION. THE ISSUE IS THE SHIFT ASSEMBLY WE HAVE YET TO GET IT FIXED BECAUSE THE CAR WAS NEW AND IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THE CAR SHOWED NO SIGNS OF ANYTHING WRONG BEFORE IT HAPPENED JUST WENT TO START IT AND WOULDN'T MOVE FROM THE PARK POSITION. *TR

I HAVE 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING THAT STALLS ON ME WHILE I AM DRIVING. JUST LAST WEEK I WAS YIELDING ONTO I95 AND THAT CAR SHUT OFF, IT ALMOST CAUSE A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER SHIP AND THEY CLAIM THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT.

WHEN BRAKING MODERATELY, THE FRONT WHEELS SHIMMY AND CAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL TO VIBRATE SO BADLY THAT YOU CAN NOT HOLD ON TO IT. COULD CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL AND AN ACCIDENT. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN WHEN BRAKING LIGHTLY OR HARD UNLESS YOU HAD ALREADY BEEN BRAKING MODERATELY. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WAS CAUSED BY WARPED ROTORS AND SINCE THIS WAS A COMPONENT OF THE BRAKE SYSTEM, IT WAS ONLY COVERED BY WARRANTY FOR 12 MONTHS/12,000 MILES. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN IN SERVICE FOR 17 MONTHS AND HAD 19,000 MILES ON IT. THIS COULD BE A REAL SAFETY HAZARD. I WOULD THINK THE WARRANTY WOULD COVER THE ROTORS, CALIPERS, AND BRAKE LINES BUT NOT THE DISK PADS OR SHOES. ROTORS SHOULD NOT WARP IN 17 MONTHS OR 19,000 MILES. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHAKES. THE BRAKES FAIL TO WORK PROPERLY AND FEEL AS IF THEY ARE TAPPING ON SOMETHING WHEN THE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. WHEN THE CONTACT TURNS THE VEHICLE, THERE IS A RUBBING SENSATION. IN ADDITION, THE CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT WORK. THE CONTACT COULD NOT CONTROL THE VEHICLE BECAUSE IT ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN. THE ABS LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM AND ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS AND THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED.

SHE NOTICED THAT THE FUEL WARNING INDICATOR WAS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE FUEL VESSEL AND THE O'RING. ALL OF THE REMEDIES HAVE BEEN INSUFFICIENT IN REPAIRING THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 7,000.

CHRYSLER SEBRING (2007) STALLS OR LURCHES FORWARDS, GENERALLY WHILE THE CAR IS STOPPED. OCCURS A FEW TIMES PER MONTH (~3) FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP, WHERE PROBLEM WAS OBSERVED; HOWEVER NO FIX WAS AVAILABLE FROM DEALER.

ANYTIME IS RAINS CAR SEEMS TO NOT BE ABLE TO ACCELERATE AND WANTS TO STALL FROM A STOP OR LOW RPM'S, ESPECIALLY AT TURNS AND STOP SIGNALS AND STOP LIGHTS, HAD CAR LOOKED AT AND WAS UNABLE TO FIX PROBLEM.

I OWN A 2007 SEBRING. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE IN A FEW TIMES FOR A PARKING BRAKE LIGHT THAT WOULD COME ON AND FOR THE AIRBAG LIGHT THAT WOULD COME ON. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO FIND THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM. WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, I HIT A DEER. ALTHOUGH THE IMPACT OCCURRED WHILE GOING 60 MPH, THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. FLAMES WERE COMING OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND ONTO MY WINDSHIELD BEFORE I EVEN GOT TO THE SHOULDER. I WAS FORCED TO JUMP FROM THE VEHICLE WHILE IT WAS STILL IN MOTION, TO ESCAPE THE BURNING CAR. *TR

VEHICLE HIT A DEER HEAD ON AND BURST INTO FLAMES. AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. AUTO HAS BEEN IN TO DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES FOR ENGINE LIGHT, WHICH WOULD NOT STAY OFF. ON MY HOME FROM ARIZONA TO MINNESOTA, THE EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT KEPT COMING ON WHEN GOING DOWN OFF RAMPS. *TR

I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE FROM A LOCAL DEALER AND SHORTLY AFTER THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON INTERMITTENTLY. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERS NUMEROUS TIMES FOR REPAIR. TO THIS DAY THE AIR LIGHT STILL COMES ON. THE LAST TIME I SPOKE TO THE DEALER ABOUT IT THEY SAID THEY REPAIRED IT AND IT WAS TO LONG AGO TO BE UNDER WARRANTY. I EXPLAINED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS NEVER RESOLVED BECAUSE EVERY TIME THEY ATTEMPTED TO FIX THE PROBLEM THE LIGHT WOULD ALWAYS COME BACK ON. SOMETIMES IT WOULD BE OFF FOR DAYS TO MONTHS BUT IT ALWAYS COMES BACK ON. THEY REFUSED TO LOOK AT IT AGAIN WITHOUT CHARGING ME A DIAGNOSTIC CHARGE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE SPONTANEOUSLY OPENED AND FLIPPED BACKWARDS, WHICH CAUSED THE WINDSHIELD TO CRACK.

SHE IS IN THE PROCESS OF NOTIFYING THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 15,000.

AIR BAG LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF, WINDOWS ARE STICKING SWITCHES NOT LETTING UP OR DOWN ALWAYS, ENGINE IS SKIPPING AND VERY SLOW TO TAKE OFF, BURNING AN EXTREME AMOUNT OF GAS, FRONT END NOT IN ALIGN AND IS CAUSING DAMAGE TO TIRES, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT PERIODICALLY COMES ON AND WON'T GO OFF. *TR

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY COMES ON. MOVING THE SEAT WILL SOMETIMES CAUSE IT TO GO OFF. RECALL #07V240000 DESCRIBES THIS PROBLEM BUT SMITH AUTO PLEX IN AMERICAN FORK, UTAH (WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR) REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. *JS

TL*THE CONTACT OWNED A 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING. WHEN THE CONTACT STOPPED AT THE TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN. A FEW MINUTES LATER, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SMOKE UNDER THE HOOD AND BURN. THE MANUFACTURER TOOK A REPORT. THEY SENT AN INVESTIGATOR TO THE TOW YARD, BUT THE CONTACT HAS NOT YET RECEIVED A RESPONSE FROM THE MANUFACTURER CONCERNING THE OUTCOME OF THE INVESTIGATION. CHRYSLER RECENTLY MAILED HER A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 07V473000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM: RADIATOR ASSEMBLY). THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 30,000.

I HAD THE 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING FOR SEVEN MONTHS,AND ON 6/26/2008 THE CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE. THEN I RECEIVED A RECALL THE FOLLOWING WEEK ON A TUESDAY BUT THAT WAS TO LATE. NOW THE CAR WAS A TOTAL LOSS AND I AM OUT OF A CAR. I JUST WANT SOMEONE TO REPLACE THE CAR AND LET ME CONT TO PAY ON IT, SO I WILL HAVE A WAY TO WORK AND DOCTOR APPOINTMENTS. INSTEAD I STILL HAVE THE CAR ON MY CREDIT AND CAN NOT GET ANOTHER ONE. THIS WAS NOT MY FAULT BE THEY ARE TREATING ME LIKE I SET THE CAR ON FIRE BUT IT WAS DUE TO THE RECALL. MY 6 YEAR OLD SON AND I WAS IN THE CAR AT THE TIME BUT LUCKILY WE GOT OUT AND WAS NOT HURT. *TR

PURCHASED A 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING ON SEPTEMBER 2007 (USED). I WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE TWO RECALLS (RADIATOR FAN CONNECTOR AND TIRE PRESSURE CONNECTOR) BOTH CAUSES FIRE. ON JUNE 21, 2008 MY VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE. IT WAS TOTALED. CHRYSLER STATED THEY WOULD GIVE ME A RENTAL. HOWEVER, EVEN AFTER THE INVESTIGATORS AND ENGINEERS STATED THAT THE FIRE WAS DUE TO THE RECALLS, THEY STILL HAVE NOT GIVEN ME A RENTAL VEHICLE AS STATED. NOT TO MENTION BE VERY RUDE. *TR
