2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING Complaints

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

CAR WONT CUT OFF. WHEN TURNED OFF AND KEY IS REMOVED CAR CONTINUE TO RUN. TURNING KEY TOO OFF POSITION AND REMOVING THE KEY WILL NOT TURN OFF CAR, AND THERE IS NO WAY TO STOP CAR FROM RUNNING BATTERY IS LOCATED UNDER CAR ON WHEEL WELL. *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

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

THE SEATBELT UNLATCHED WHILE DRIVING. IT HAS HAPPENED A COUPLE TIMES AND IT IS SCARY TO THINK THIS COULD HAPPEN DURING AN ACCIDENT. *TR

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. BUT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I PULL OUT TO PASS SOMEONE AND THE LIGHT COMES ON AND I HAVE NO POWER TO PASS THAT CAR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO TURN ON THE VEHICLE IT FAILED TO START AND THE CHECK TPMS WARNING LAMP ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND VERIFIED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 08V152000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

CAR HAS TMPS AND AIRBAG LIGHTS CONSTANTLY COMING ON FOR NO REASON - THEY STAY ON FOR DAYS OR WEEKS AND THEN SHUT OFF. BOTH CHRYLSER AND INDEPENDENT MECHANIC HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO DIAGNOSE. ALSO, ENGINE WILL LOSE ALL POWER WHILE IN OPERATION AT BOTH FREEWAY SPEEDS AND LOW RESIDENTIAL SPEEDS ALONG WITH AUTO-START RANDOMLY NOT WORKING. CHRYSLER AND INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WERE NOT ABLE TO DIAGNOSE. TRIED REPLACING ALTERNATOR AND STILL HAPPENED. REPLACED CRANK SHAFT SENSOR AFTER LOOKING AT ONLINE FORUMS OF SIMILAR STORES FROM OTHER CHRYSLER SEBRING OWNERS AND STILL OCCASIONALLY HAPPENS. AIRBAG LIGHT IS NOW BACK ON FOR NO REASON... AGAIN. I KNOW GM HAS BEEN HAVING NUMEROUS RECALLS YET MINE HAS NEVER BEEN INCLUDED IN RECALLS FOR BOTH MY MODEL AND OTHER MAKES/MODELS HAVING THESE ISSUES. IT IS INCREDIBLY SCARY DRIVING SPEEDS OF 75MPH TO LOSE ALL POWER. I HAVE TO PULL BRAKE, PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND SHUT OFF/RESTART. I AM CONSTANTLY FEARFUL OF IT HAPPENING AND GETTING INTO A CRASH THAT COULD BE FATAL. *TR
