I HAVE A 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING. RECENTLY WITHIN THE LAST YEAR THE CAR WOULD STALL AT STOP LIGHTS AND THEN LATER THIS WEEK WOULDN'T START. TOWED TO THE SHOP ONCE AND THE VEHICLE STARTED FOR THE SHOP AND WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. SO I DROVE THIS CAR THROUGHOUT THE WEEKEND AND HAD NO ISSUES WITH IT. MONDAY MORNING MY WIFE GOES TO GET IN THE CAR AND IT WOULDN'T START HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED BACK TO THE SHOP. THIS TIME PROBLEM NEVER WENT AWAY. MY SHOP WHERE I TOOK THE VEHICLE STARTED LOOKING INTO THE PROBLEM AND FOUND OUT THE FUEL PUMP CONNECTOR HAD MELTED CAUSING THE FUEL PUMP TO STOP WORKING. MY CONCERN IS THAT MELTING WIRES AND CONNECTORS RIGHT AROUND A FUEL SOURCE COULD CAUSE A DEADLY FIRE ALL IT NEEDED WAS A SPARK FOR THE CAR TO IGNITE WITH A CHILD IN THE BACK SEAT. I KNOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME STALLING ISSUES AND I FEEL THIS IS SOMETHING THAT POSSIBLY NEEDS INVESTIGATED BEFORE SOMEONE LOSES THEIR LIVES FOR A FAULTY WIRING ISSUE WITH THESE CARS. *TR

I WAS S/B ON I-75 IN KENTUCKY AT APPROXIMATELY THE 56 MP WHEN I FELL ASLEEP. THE FRONT END STRUCK THE END OF A GUARD RAIL AND THEN THE CAR SWUNG AROUND, SLID SIDEWAYS, AND ROLLED OVER STOPPING ON IT'S LEFT SIDE. NO AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE VEHICLE HAD BOTH FRONT AND SIDE AIR BAGS. THE KENTUCKY STATE POLICE, POST 11, TOOK THE REPORT AND THE MOUNT VERNON, KY FIRE DEPARTMENT GOT US OUT. NO WAS INJURED THANKS TO SEAT BELTS BUT THE AIR BAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE SIDE AIR BAGS WOULD DEPLOY WHEN THEY USED THE 'JAWS' TO CUT THE SIDE POSTS BUT THIS DID NOT HAPPEN EITHER. *TR

PURCHASED 2007 SEBRING BASE MODEL ONE MONTH AGO. HAD DEALERSHIP COMPLETE ALL RECALLS BEFORE PURCHASE. TAIL LIGHTS ATTACHED TO THE UPPER PORTION OF THE TRUCK FLOODED/FILLED WITH WATER ANYTIME THERE WAS RAIN AND WHEN YOU OPEN THE TRUNK IT DUMPS THE WATER ON YOUR HEAD. ALL 3 BREAK LIGHT SEALS WERE REPLACED AND PLUGS REMOVED TO ALLOW BETTER DRAINAGE - ISSUE RESOLVED. EMERGENCY BREAK LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY ILLUMINATES WHILE DRIVING - EMERG BREAK IS OFF AND NEW BREAKS INSTALLED ISSUE STILL UNRESOLVED. DELAYED AUTO OFF HEADLIGHTS DID NOT SHUT OFF. RETURNED TO VEHICLE 2 HOURS LATER WITH DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS STILL ON AND SINCE THEY ARE AUTOMATIC THERE IS NO WAY TO TURN THEM OFF. AFTER CYCLING THE ENGINE THEY SHUT OFF, BUT NOW FAIL TO COME ON AT ALL. IN THE BASE MODEL THERE IS NO FEATURE TO TURN THEM "ON" OR "OFF" - ISSUE UNRESOLVED. THE VEHICLE ALSO REFUSES TO CHANGE THE SETTING TO TURN THE "AUTO UNLOCK" FEATURE "ON" WHEN VEHICLE IS PUT IN PARK. THIS FEATURE ALSO REFUSES TO WORK ON "FIRST UNLOCK" ON THE KEY FOB. THE DOORS JUST CONTINUE TO STAY LOCKED - ISSUE UNRESOLVED. I HOPE MINE DOES NOT START SHUTTING OFF ON ME LIKE SO MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING TOURING. I BOUGHT IT USED IN JUNE 2010. STARTING IN SEP 2010 IT STARTED HAVING ISSUES, (I.E., ENGINE SHUT OFF AT LOW SPEED OR WHEN GAS TANK WAS AT 1/4 TANK, ENGINE WOULD ACT AS IF WAS GOING TO STALL WHEN SITTING AT A STOP SIGN/LIGHT THEN WOULD LURCH FORWARD SUDDENLY, AND BRAKE LIGHT KEPT COMING ON). I HAD THE O2 SENSORS REPLACED, ENGINE LIGHT WENT OUT FOR A COUPLE WEEKS AND CAME BACK ON. MECHANIC THEN CHANGED WIRING HARNESS. THIS TIME LIGHT WAS OUT FOR ABOUT A MONTH OR 2 BUT NOW WILL NOT TURN OFF EVEN THOUGH THE MECHANIC COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH EITHER THE SENSORS OR THE WIRING HARNESS. NOW THEY SUGGEST REPLACING THE ENGINE BRAIN WHICH AT THIS TIME IS FINANCIALLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME. I TOOK THE CAR TO A CHRYSLER DEALER SHOP WHEN THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAM ON AND I TOLD THE GUY ABOUT ALL THE ISSUES. HE PULLED UP THE HISTORY AND INFORMED ME THE CAR'S FORMER OWNER HAD SAME SHUT OFF ISSUES AT 16K MILES AND HAD A NEW ENGINE INSTALLED AT 20K MILES. CAR IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUES THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RESOLVED WITH NEW ENGINE BEING PUT IN. I'VE ALSO HAD TO HAVE THE BRAKES REPLACED AFTER OWNING THE CAR LESS THAN A YEAR. I'M AFRAID THE CAR SHUTTING OFF ON ME IS GOING TO GET ME KILLED AS I'VE JUST NEARLY MISSED GETTING INTO 2 ACCIDENTS WHEN THE ENGINE HAS SHUT OFF ON ME. *TR

THIS CAR SHUTS OFF, ALL THE LIGHT SO ON AND OFF AND THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE IT WAS LESS THAN A YEAR OLD. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE SAID IT DIDN'T HAPPEN WHEN THEY HAD IT. THE INTERIOR LIGHT COMES ON WHEN YOU TURN ON RIGHT TURN SIGNAL. THE ABS LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF AND THE SEATBELT LIGHT. *TR
