2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING Complaints

THE FUEL PUMP WENT ON MY CAR AND WHEN I BROUGHT IT TO THE REPAIR SHOP THEY STATED THAT THE WIRING AND CONNECTORS ON IT HAD BURNED UP, WHICH CAUSED A HOLE TO BE BURNED IN THE FUEL PUMP LINE. I'VE READ SEVERAL OTHER REPORTS OF THIS EXACT SAME THING HAPPENING AND IN SOME OF THOSE REPORTS THEY STATED THAT THIS WAS A FIRE HAZARD. I ALSO HAD TO PURCHASE A NEW HARNESS FOR THE FUEL PUMP SINCE THAT WAS ALL SCREWED UP AS WELL. *TR

WHEN MY HUSBAND DRIVES MY CAR, HE MOVES THE SEAT BACK. 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 "SOMETIMES" GO OFF. THE NHTSA REF 07V240000 REFERENCES A RECALL FOR THE FRONT SEAT TRACK POSITION SENSOR. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER TO SEE IF MY CAR IS ONE THAT HAS BEEN RECALLED. I'M TOLD THAT IT IS NOT. I THINK IT SHOULD BE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE WIRING HARNESS WAS EXPOSED AND COULD HAVE BEEN CORRODED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 08V152000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) BUT WAS ADVISED BY THE MANUFACTURER THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 88,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 114,928.

WHEN SEAT IS MOVED THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON. DEALER REFUSES TO FIX SAYING THAT PLACING PURSE ON SEAT BROKE THE SENSOR. CAR WILL NOT SHIFT IN GEAR. 2ND OCCURRENCE. FIRST TIME FIXED UNDER RECALL. NOW DEALER REFUSES TO FIX SAME ISSUE. CONTACTED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE AND RECEIVED NO ASSISTANCE. *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

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

THE VEHICLE REGAINED POWER INDEPENDENTLY. THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR SEVERAL TIMES TO RESOLVE FAILURE. THE FAILURE RECURRED CONSISTENTLY.

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
