2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING Complaints

"TAKATA RECALL " MY CAR DASHBOARD LIGHTS ALL WENT DEAD AND ALL THE FUSES ARE GOOD. TURN ON CAR ONE EVENING AND DASHBOARD WSS NOT LIT UP. I CANT SEE MY SPEED OR GAS GAGE NOTHING ON ALL DASHBOARD. SO I DROVE HOME 30 MILES IN THE NIGHT NOT KNOWING IR I WAS GOING TO SLOW OR FAST.

I'VE PUT 2 STARTERS ON MY 2007 CHYSLER SEBRING IN THE LAST 3 MONTHS. THE CAR STARTS GREATS THEN WHILE DRIVING IT STARTS TO MAKE THIS LOUD GRINDING NOISE AND ONCE YOU CUT THE CAR OFF IT JUST CLICKS. THIS TIME IT DID THE SAME THING BUT THIS TIME WHEN I CUT THE CAR OFF IT KEPT RUNNING AND I HAD TO GO TURN THE IGNITION SWITCH OFF AGAIN AND OF COURSE IT WON'T START.

I WAS TOLD IT'S ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AND THE CAR DOESN'T GO OVER 20 MILES AND IT SAYS THAT IT'S THE INTAKE ALSO SAYS IT'S THE MUFFLER AND SENSORS AND OTHER THINGS WHICH I HAVE HAD CHECK AND IT NEITHER.AND SOMETIMES IT PUSHES BACK OR IS STALLS AND JUST TURNS OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION.

ANYTIME IS RAINS CAR SEEMS TO NOT BE ABLE TO ACCELERATE AND WANTS TO STALL FROM A STOP OR LOW RPM'S, ESPECIALLY AT TURNS AND STOP SIGNALS AND STOP LIGHTS, HAD CAR LOOKED AT AND WAS UNABLE TO FIX PROBLEM.

AIRBAG LIGHT ON, HORN AND CRUISE CONTROL STOPPED WORKING, FOUND OUT ITS THE CLOCK SPRING, HAD TROUBLE STEERING THE CAR AT ONE POINT, FOUND THAT A PART BROKE THE CLOCK SPRING AND GOT LODGED IN THE STEERING COMPONENTS, HAPPENED DURING A TURN ONTO A STREET

THE DEFECTIVE INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM) WOULD CAUSE MY VEHICLE TO DO STRANGE THINGS. LIKE LOOSE COMPLETE POWER WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY OR IN TOWN. ALSO EFFECTS WHERE STARTER CRANKS BUT WONT START. BATTERY WOULD BE DRAINED FOR NO REASON. I HAVE THE VEHICLE IN THE SHOP RIGHT NOW GETTING THAT PART REPLACED. I ASKED THEM WHAT DID THEY FIND OUT ABOUT MY VEHICLE AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS OF THEM WORKING ON IT AND THEY STATED THEY WHERE UNSURE STILL WORKING ON IT. THEY GAVE ME A CALL BACK A FEW DAYS LATER AND THEY STATED THAT THE ISSUE IS THE TIPM AND THAT THEY GOT THAT INFO FROM CHRYSLER BECAUSE THEY EVENTUALLY HAD TO CONTACT THEM TO SEE IF THEY KNEW WHAT THE ISSUE WAS AND THAT THEY TOLD THEM THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE IN CHRYSLER VEHICLES MADE FROM 2007 TO 2014. TO ME THIS PART ON CHRYSLER VEHICLES SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR 0NE IT IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR YOUR VEHICLE TO LOOSE POWER WHILE DRIVING AND ALSO THE FACT THAT THEY KNOW THIS IS AN ISSUE.

THE FRONT PASSENGER SEATBELTS RELEASES WHEN ANY PRESSURE, EVEN VERY LITTLE AT ALL, IS PUT ON IT AND HAPPENS CONTINUOUSLY. IT WON'T STAY LATCHED EVEN WITH MINOR MOVEMENTS OF PASSENGER. HAPPENS WHETHER CAR IS RUNNING AND DRIVING OR SITTING STATIONARY AT HOME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE IN WET AND HUMID CONDITIONS, THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE INDICATOR WOULD ILLUMINATE AND THE VEHICLE'S SPEED WOULD SUDDENLY REDUCE TO APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH. IN ADDITION, THE BRAKES AND POWER STEERING MALFUNCTIONED. IN ADDITION, THE ENGINE WOULD ERRONEOUSLY REV VERY HIGH AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WOULD LOSE TENSION AND TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SEVERAL UNKNOWN LOCAL DEALERS, BUT THE FAILURES COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. FURTHERMORE, WHEN REFUELING IN COLDER WEATHER CONDITIONS, THE FUEL WOULD SPRAY OUT OF THE FILLER HOLE. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000.

SHIFTER HAD TO BE REPLACED WITHIN TWO YEARS, THIS IS THE SECOND SHIFTER. STUCK IN PARK

DASHBOARD WAS DIM WITH AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT ALWAYS ON WHEN PURCHASED. THE PROBLEMS STARTED WITH DASHBOARD LIGHTS GOING IN AND OUT AND THE WIPERS NOT WORKING PROPERLY AROUND NOVEMBER OF LAST YEAR. WAS TOLD FUSES NEEDED TO BE CHANGED, SO THEY WERE. SAME ISSUE. THEN 3 MONTHS AGO TAILLIGHT BULB WENT OUT, CHANGED IT AND THE TAILLIGHTS HAVE NOT WORKED SINCE. WAS TOLD IT HAS TO BE TAKEN TO DEALER AUTHORIZED SHOP FOR ELECTRICAL BOX REPAIR AFTER TAKING CAR TO THREE DIFFERENT SHOPS WHO ALL SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND THE ISSUE. TODAY BATTERY LOOKING LIGHT CAME ON AND BEFORE I COULD TURN AROUND TO GO BACK HOME THE CAR IMMEDIATELY SHUT OFF AND WOULD NOT START WITHOUT A JUMP. THE LIGHTNING BOLT IN PARENTHESES CAME UP AND CAR ACCELERATED WITHOUT MY FOOT BEING ON GAS BUT WOULD NOT GO ABOVE 30 MPH ONCE I MADE IT HOME IT TURNED OFF AND REFUSES TO START 6 HRS LATER. THE BATTERY LIGHT, LIGHTNING BOLT SYMBOL AND AIRBAG LIGHTS ALL SHOW ON DASH AND WILL NOT GO OFF.
