IGINATION ISSUES MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKS ON ME. I HAVE TO SIT FOR AT LEAST 5 MINS BEFORE I CAN TURN THE KEY TO START MY CAR. AS IN DRIVING MY CAR ACTS AS IF IT WANTS TO STOP WHILE DRIVING.

ETC LIGHT COMES ON AND VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE IT HAPPENS WHEN I START THE VEHICLE WHEN I DRIVE IT HAPPENS CONSTANTLY I TOOK VEHICLE TO CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT WA THE THROTTLE BODY PAID 800 DOLLARS STILL HAVE THE ETC AND SAME ISSUE HAPPENING. THIS IS A LIBILITY AND ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE A VEHICLE AND HAVE IT LOSE ACCELERATION WHY DRIVING UP HILL OR HIGHWAY.

SEAT BELT ON DRIVERS SIDE SIGNALS MALFUNCTION WHEN FASTENED AND NO AMOUNT OF TIGHTENING STOPS THE BEEPING AND FLASHING SIGNAL. THE CAR IS IN MOTION AND THIS OCCURENCE IS NOT OBSERVED WHEN AUTOMOBILE IS STANDING STILL.

DRIVING INTO WORK ON JUNE 27, 2016 AT 7:45 AM I PROCEEDED OFF THE HIGHWAY RAMP AND MY BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON I PUSHED THE BRAKE AND PRESSED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE THINKING SOME HOW THAT WILL HELP; HOWEVER IT DIDN'T AND AFTER ABOUT 10 MINUTES IT WENT OFF. I WENT TO WORK AND IT WAS FINE. AGAIN THIS MORNING JULY 7 AT 8:20 THE SAME THING HAS HAPPENED THIS MORNING AND NOW MY BACK BRAKES ARE SQUEAKING.

I PURCHASED A 2010 CHRYSLER SEBRING WITH A 2.7 LITER LH ENGINE FROM MEADOR JEEP DEALERSHIP IN APPROXIMATELY 2014. IT HAD APPROXIMATELY 32K MILES ON THE ODOMETER. AS I AM RETIRED, AND NO LONGER HAVE A COMMUTE TO WORK, I DO NOT DRIVE MORE THAN 8K A YEAR. IN FEBRUARY 2016 I HEARD A RATTLING NOISE IN THE ENGINE AND TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR. ON FEBRUARY 25, 2016 THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE TIMING CHAIN ("TIMING TENSIONER") FOR A COST OF $795.83. WHEN I PICKED UP MY CAR, CHRIS, ONE OF THE SERVICE WRITERS, ADVISED ME TO DRIVE THE CAR MORE OFTEN, AND TO BE HARD ON THE ENGINE. ON APPROXIMATELY MAY 5, 2016 I WAS DRIVING HOME ON THE FREEWAY, AND THE ENGINE STOPPED WORKING. AS I WAS NOT ABLE TO RESTART IT, I HAD THE CAR TOWED BACK TO MEADOR JEEP FOR DIAGNOSIS. ACCORDING TO CHRIS, THE SERVICE WRITER, THE ENGINE WAS "BLOWN" AND COULD BE REPAIRED FOR $12,000. THE ENGINE HAD ONLY 40K MILES ON IT. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE CHRYSLER 2.7 LITER V6 ENGINE ONLINE, AND HAVE FOUND THAT THESE ENGINES ARE NOTORIOUS FOR WATER SEEPING INTO THE OIL, CREATING A THICK SLUDGE THAT LEADS TO CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE.

THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE RPM DECREASES THEN ENGINE STALLS. SEVERAL TIMES I WAS ABLE TO RESTART ENGINE AND IT HAS NOW COMPLETELY FAILED. I SEE NUMEROUS REPORTS OF THIS ISSUE ONLINE BUT NO SPECIFIC REPAIR FOR THIS DEFECT.
