2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING Complaints

ON SEPTEMBER 8, 2010, I WAS GETTING INTO MY CAR ON MY WAY TO WORK WHEN I COULD NOT GET THE AUTOMATIC STICK OUT OF PARK (OUT OF GEAR). I JUST PURCHASE MY 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING ON JUNE 29, 2010 AT A DEALERSHIP IN MY HOME STATE, AND IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE ENCOUNTERED THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. PRIOR ISSUES I HAVE EXPERIENCED SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE ON JUNE 29 IS THE MULTIFUNCTION (EMISSION) AND AIRBAG SENSORS COMING ON. A BRAKE SENSOR HAS BEEN COMING ON AND OFF. BOTH THE MULTIFUNCTION AND AIRBAG SENSORS FIXED ON AUGUST 28, 2010. I WAS INFORMED BY THE CHRYSLER MECHANIC SHOP THAT THE BRAKE SENSOR IS OKAY. NOW, I HAVE NEW PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WILL HAVE TO BE TOWED TO A CHRYSLER DEALER FOR REPAIR. I HAVE MISSED A DAY FROM WORK BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEAR SHIFT SELECTOR BECAME STUCK IN PARK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO ADVISED THAT THE SHIFT ASSEMBLER WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WOULD NOT PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

MY 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING "STUCK" IN PARK. I HAVE 48847 MILES ON MY SEBRING AND HAVE NOT HAD A PROBLEM WITH IT. ON AUG.13 I PULLED INTO MY GARAGE AND PARKED. THE NEXT DAY I GOT INTO MY CAR AND IT WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. I CHECKED THE MANUAL AND IT GAVE AN "OVER-RIDE" PROCEDURE. THIS PROCEDURE DOES NOT WORK. I CALLED CHRYSLER ON THE 15TH AND ASKED HOW TO ENGAGE THE OVER-RIDE. THEY GAVE ME THE SAME PROCEDURE. ON THE 16TH I HAD A TOW TRUCK COME TO MY HOUSE TO TOW MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. HE SHOWED ME AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT OVER-RIDE THAT WAS SHOWN TO HIM, BY CHRYSLER. BUT CHRYSLER DOES NOT PASS ON TO THE CONSUMER. IT WORKED AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. BEFORE I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND GOT A CASE MANAGER ASSIGNED TO ME. THE CASE MANAGER WORKED WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND GOT MY CAR REPAIRED FOR A $50.00 CO-PAYMENT. CHRYSLER KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH 2007 & 2008 SEBRINGS I WOULD LIKE TO SEE CHRYSLER SEND A NEW OVER-RIDE PROCEDURE TO ALL OWNERS OF VEHICLES THAT COULD HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND ISSUE A RECALL. I WAS LUCKY IT HAPPENED IN MY GARAGE, BUT SEVERAL OTHERS MIGHT NOT BE AS LUCKY WHERE THIS FAILURE HAPPENS, WITHOUT THE CORRECT KNOWLEDGE ON HOW TO OVER-RIDE THE SYSTEM. *TR

I LEFT WORK AND MY 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK (IT'S AN AUTOMATIC). I EVENTUALLY HAD TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED FOR A TOTAL OF 280. I LEARNED THAT AN INTERNAL SPRING AND ANOTHER PART INSIDE OF THE SHIFTER HAD BROKEN. BASED ON WHAT I READ, IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE LATER MODEL SEBRINGS. *TR

2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK, WITH ONLY 30,000 MILES ON THE CAR THIS HAPPENED, THE SHIFTER WAS REPLACED. *TR

I HAD BEEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE ALL DAY. I LATER WENT TO RUN AN ERRAND AND THE CAR WOULD NOT LET ME GET OUT OF PARK. IT WAS COMPLETELY JAMMED. FOR ABSOLUTELY NO REASON. IT WAS VERY FRUSTRATING AS I WAS HEADED TO AN IMPORTANT DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT. HAD TO AAA TOW THE VEHICLE. VERY DISAPPOINTING AS THIS VEHICLE LET ME SIT. CURRENTLY BEING REPAIRED AND PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION WILL BE NEEDED TO GET TO WORK. *TR

CAR STALLED FOR SECOND TIME WHILE IN PARK. FIRST AT 34000 MI THEN AGAIN AT 69000 MI. HAVE READ ALL THE BLOGS... TO TAKE APART CONSOLE AND PERFORM SURGERY IS RIDICULOUS! *TR

MY 2007 CHYRSLER SEBRING IS STUCK AT WORK IN PARK! IT WONT COME UNDONE. DID EVERYTHING I THOUGHT WOULD TRIGGER IT. BRAKE BULBS, TIRE LOCK, GAS CAP ETC ETC. SO MY CAR IS SITTING IN MY WORK GARAGE UNTIL I FIND OUT HOW TO FIX IT. *TR
