SURE ENOUGH, COMMON ENOUGH THAT THERE IS INDEED A RECALL ON THIS - BUT ONLY IN CERTAIN STATES!!! I AM IN ARKANSAS, THE STATES ARE DIRECTLY TO THE SOUTH OF ME, TX, AL, MS ETC... HOW CRAZY IS THAT? IT IS A DEFECT, BUT ONLY IN A COUPLE STATES?? EVEN THOUGH MY VIN NUMBER IS RIGHT IN THERE??? I GOT THIS INFORMATION BY CALLING THE RECALL HOT LINE... YES, IF MY CAR WAS IN THE RECALL STATES, IT WOULD BE PAID FOR...VERY SHADDY *TR

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

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

DRIVING DOWN A NORMAL TRAFFIC FILLED STREET, CAR ALL OF A SUDDEN SHAKES AND, WONT GO PASSED 20 MPH AND THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON. ITS HAPPENED BEFORE BUT IF I TURN OFF THE CAR AND RESTART, THE CAR WOULD RETURN TO NORMAL. THIS PARTICULAR DAY IT DIDN'T. TOOK IT TO TIRE PLUS, THEY SAID I NEED A FUEL LINE CLEANING OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. FIXED THE PROBLEM FOR ABOUT A WEEK AND TODAY AS I WAS DRIVING FROM WORK DOING ABOUT 45 MPH THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON AGAIN, 3 TIMES IN UNDER FIVE MINS. EACH TIME HAD TO RESTART MY CAR. ITS DANGEROUS WHEN YOURE IN TRAFFIC AND LATE AT NIGHT, HAVING TO PULL OVER AND RESTART. *TR
