2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING Complaints

WHEN THE OUTSIDE TEMP IS BELOW 40 DEGREES AND I FILL MY 2008 SEBRING CONVERTIBLE WITH GAS, GASOLINE GUSHES AND BLOWS OUT OF MY CAR FILLER TUBE ALL OVER THE PLACE. I HAVE TALKED TO THE CHRYSLER DEALER AND THEY SAY THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS. HOWEVER MY 2008 DODGE NITRO HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AND THERE WAS A RECALL TO FIX IT. I HAVE VIDEO OF THIS HAPPENING. *TR

MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS JUST DECIDE WHEN THEY WANT TO STOP LEAVING ME WITH ZERO VISIBILITY DURING A RAINY COMMUTE. *TR

I STARTED THE CAR AND GOT A COUPLE MILES UP THE ROAD AND THIS LIGHTNING BOLT CAME ON SO I LOOKED IT UP AND IT SAID IT WAS THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL I HAVE NOTICED THE CAR ACCELERATES AND DECELERATES AT DIFFERENT TIMES AND IT SEEMS TO LOSE POWER WHILE I'M DRIVING IS THERE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE I JUST LOOKED AT ALL THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THERE ARE WAY TOO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME THING AND THE FIX IS COSTLY BUT IT SOUNDS TO ME LIKE CHRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT IT AND IGNORES IT. *TR

AS I SAT WITH FOOT ON BRAKE AT STOP SIGN, MY CAR HAD SUDDEN ACCELERATION AND MOVED FORWARD. IF A VEHICLE WOULD HAVE BEEN IN FRONT OF ME, I WOULD HAVE HIT IT. AFTER THE ACCELERATION, IT STALLED. THIS IS THE SECOND DAY IN A ROW THIS HAS HAPPENED. BOTH WERE WITH IN A 24 HOUR PERIOD. IT HAS HAPPENED IN THE PAST BUT AT THAT TIME THE CAR WAS IN THE PARK POSITION AND IT WOULD ""REV"" UP FOR NO REASON. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE SENSORS NEEDED TO BE CLEAN AND OR REPLACED UNDER THE SEAT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 97,000.

CAR HAS 50,000 MILES ON IT. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR YEARS. THE IGNITION SWITCH STICKS WHEN CAR IS STARTED AND YOU HAVE TO MANUALLY TURN IT BACK TO ON SO STARTER WILL DISENGAGE. WHEN I HEARD OF RECALL RECENTLY ON OTHER MODELS I WAS SURPRISED THIS CAR HADN'T BEEN INCLUDED. *TR

I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF ENTERING A HIGHWAY FROM A DRIVEWAY. I HIT THE GAS PEDAL AND THE CAR TOOK OFF UNCONTROLLABLY ACROSS THE HIGHWAY, ACROSS LANES OF TRAFFIC, WENT UP AN EMBANKMENT AND THEN BACK DOWN WHERE THE CAR SHUT OFF. I HAD NOT DRIVEN THE CAR SINCE THE ACCIDENT, BUT WHEN I PICKED UP THE VEHICLE AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CONVERTIBLE ROOF HAD BEEN WORKED ON, I NOTICED THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE INDICATOR LIGHT WAS "ON". THIS MAY THE REASON IT ACCELERATED UNCONTROLLABLY. *TR

WHEN I AM DRIVING AND IT IS RAINING OR HAS RAINED OR IF THE CAR IS WET THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE CAR SKIPPING/ STALLING OUT WHEN YOU ACCELERATE. THIS ONLY OCCURS WHEN THE CAR IS WET. IT HAS CUT COMPLETELY OFF AT AN INTERSECTIONS BEFORE. THIS USUALLY HAPPENS WITH SPEEDS LESS THAN 40 MPH OR YOU CAN HEAR AND FEEL IT PULLING/ WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHER SPEEDS. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE SPARK PLUGS GOING BAD AND HAD THEM REPLACED THAT THEY DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO DETERMINE WHEN IT WILL STALL OUT/SKIP. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AND THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE WHAT THE PROBLEM COULD BE. OR STATE NO PROBLEM FOUND. THIS HAS GONE ONE FOR TWO YEARS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING. WHILE THE SEAT BELTS WERE BEING LATCHED, THE SEAT BELT WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND A CHIME ACTIVATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

I WAS RIDING SLOW THROUGH MY NEIGHBORHOOD ABOUT 15-20 MILES PER HOUR AND THE CAR JUST SHUT OFF,THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME! IT HAD HAPPENED MANY TIMES SINCE THEN AND ALSO JUST LIKE MANY OTHERS ON HERE HAVE STATED,THE CAR SEEM LIKE IT IS ABOUT TO SHUT OFF WHILE IM SITTING AT A LIGHT THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT JUMPS FORWARD ALMOST CAUSING ME TO REAR END SOMEONE,THAT HAPPENS QUITE A BIT OR IT SHUTS OFF WHILE IDLING. ODDLY NO ONE KNOWS WHY?? THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BEFORE PEOPLE START GETTING SERIOUSLY HURT OR DIE. *TR
