I HAVE AN 08 CHRYSLER SEBRING. MY ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON RANDOMLY, AND WITHIN 5 SECONDS, MY CAR STALLS. I'VE TAKEN IT TO TWO DEALERSHIPS, THEY CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT IS CAUSING THIS DEFECT. THIS IS NOT SAFE! ONCE WHEN IT STALLED, I COULDN'T PULL OVER BECAUSE THERE WAS NO SHOULDER. I PULLED OVER IN THE LITTLE TRIANGLE AREA BETWEEN MERGING TRAFFIC. ON A TRIP FROM IL TO VA, I HAD TO RESTART MY CAR 7 TIMES. ONE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE MAP SENSOR, THIS DIDN'T HELP AT ALL. THE OTHER DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO, SINCE THERE WERE NO STORED CODES AND THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. *TR
