2008 Chrysler Sebring complaints

ALL WARNING LIGHTS ARE ON. THE HEAD LIGHTS ARE GOING OFF. HAPPENS IN MOTION AND STATIONARY.

I RAN MY VIN TO SEARCH FOR ANY RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE I PURCHASED LAST YEAR AND THE DESCRIPTION FOR MY VIN COMES UP AS A 2008 CHRYSLER 200, BUT MY CAR IS A 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING. IF A VIN IS A UNIQUE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER FOR EACH CAR WHAT DOES TL IT MEAN THAT THE DESCRIPTION DOESN'T MATCH MY CAR?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING CONVERTIBLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ENGAGE INTO THE DRIVE POSITION AND THE GEAR SHIFT WAS STUCK IN NEUTRAL. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (DARCARS ORANGE PARK CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM, 7233 BLANDING BLVD, JACKSONVILLE, FL 32244, (904) 777-5500) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SHIFTER CABLE NEEDED TO REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 101,000.

CHRYSLERS ARE KNOWN FOR THEIR TERRIBLE TRANSMISSIONS, BUT THIS IS OUR SECOND CHRYSLER SEBRING IN THIS YEAR RANGE (SAME ENGINE/TRANS MODELS), BOTH WITH THE SAME ISSUE. WHEN SHIFTING FROM OR THRU NEUTRAL, (EG. REVERSE TO DRIVE), THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS SO HARD THAT IT CAN LIFT THE ENGINE AND SNAP A MOUNT. THIS CAUSES THE CAR TO MAKE KNOCKING NOISES WHEN SHIFTING (ANY GEAR), AND CAUSES THE CAR TO LURCH IN AND OUT OF GEAR, NEUTRAL, AND PARK.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED LAST NOVEMBER FROM A PRIVATE SELLER. SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE AIRBAG CLOCK SPRING, BATTERY CABLES, AND NOW I AM EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH MY WINDOWS AND COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR. MY PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW HAS FALLEN INTO THE DOOR SEVERAL TIMES DO TO A FAULTY TRACK. MY DRIVER SIDE WINDOW HAS COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING DO TO A FAULTY BUTTON. AND LASTLY, MY COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR FAILED ON ME 2 MONTHS AGO. I CANNOT DRIVE ANY FURTHER THAN A MILE WITHOUT MY CAR REDLINING. I CHECKED FOR A LEAK IN MY HOSES AND SEALS AND HAVE FOUND NOTHING. MY ANTIFREEZE RESERVOIR BURNS SO HOT IT ACTUALLY EVAPORATES THE ANTIFREEZE. I HAVE GONE THROUGH 6 FULL SIZE BOTTLES OF ANTIFREEZE IN A 2 MONTHS PERIOD. I HAVE A NOTICEABLY HIGH IDLE WHENEVER THE CAR STARTS TO GET THE BELOW THE FULL LINE AND NOW I HAVE AN ENGINE PING. THE OVERHEAT ISSUE OCCURS WHENEVER IT DECIDES IT WANTS TO. MY DASHBOARD DISPLAY GOES IN AND OUT INTERMITTENTLY AND MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS TURN ON AT RANDOM WHENEVER I USE MY SIGNAL TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. THIS VEHICLE IS FULL OF ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS THAT I CANNOT AFFORD TO FIX. THE TRUTH IS, I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE WITH THE SMALL CUT OF LIFE INSURANCE MONEY I GOT THE MY MOTHER PASSED AWAY. I AM DISABLED AND THIS IS CURRENTLY MY ONLY SOURCE OF TRANSPORTATION. THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME SERIOUS LOOKING INTO THE CHRYSLER SEBRING FROM 2006 ON UP. I CANNOT BE THE ONLY ONE EXPERIENCING THIS MYRIAD OF PROBLEMS.

MY CAR WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY, AS I WAS CLOSING THE CONVERTIBLE ROOF, I HEARD A POPPING SOUND TWO DIFFERENT TIMES. ONCE I MADE SURE THE WINDOWS AND ROOF CLOSED I LOOKED TO SEE THE BACK SEAT ARM REST PANELS HAD BLOWN AWAY FROM THE FRAME OF THE CAR. I HAVE IT AT A DEALERSHIP NOW WAITING TO HEAR THERE EXPLANATION THAT WOULD CAUSE THIS TO HAPPEN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR FLASHED ON AND OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED BY THE DEALER (DARCARS CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF MARLOW HEIGHTS, 5060 AUTH WAY, SUITLAND, MD 20746, 301-423-5111) FOR THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATING TWO YEARS AGO. THE FAILURE WAS RECURRING AND THE OWNER WAS AFRAID THAT THE AIR BAGS COULD DEPLOY INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 91,590.

DOOR COMES OFF TRACK WHEN YOU OPEN AND CLOSE IT.

MAYBE SOMETHING WITH THE FUEL. WHILE CAR IS STOPPED, IT WILL SUDDENLY JUMP. IF I DIDN'T HAVE MY FOOT ON BRAKE THE CAR WOULD TAKE OFF.THE ENGINE SPEEDS UP WITHOUT ME STEPPING ON THE GAS PEDAL. THE CAR SUDDENLY STALLS AND SHUTS OFF AT A STOP SIGN OR TRAFFIC LIGHT. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES. OVER THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF. I DON'T UNDERSTAND ABOUT PICTURES. THERE ARE NO PICTURES

BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY THE ENGINES SUDDENLY SHUT DOWN BUT RESTARTED WITHOUT AN ISSUE. LATER THAT DAY THE RED WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND THE ENGINE STARTED TO HAVE NO POWER AND THEN STALED I WAS ABLE TO MOVE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SAW THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR LIGHT WAS ON (WITCH I LOOKED UP IN OWNER MANUAL. WAS ABLE TO GET IT STARTED AGAIN AND DROVE IT TO MY MECHANIC WHO TESTED IT AND SAID I NEEDED A THROTTLE BODY.T HAT WAS REPLACED NOW 4 DAYS LATER I WAS ON A HOV LANE DOING 65 LIGHT CAME ON ENGINE SPUTTERED BUT DIDN'T STALL ARRIVED AT DESTINATION WHEN I GOT BACK IN CAR LIGHT WAS OUT AND CAR STARTED. DRIVING HOME I HAD TO PULL OVER SEVERAL TIMES WHEN LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED . MY CONCERN IS DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ESPECIALLY WHERE I LIVE THERE ARE LONG TUNNELS I TRAVEL THROUGH HOPEFULLY IT DOESN'T DO THIS TO ANYONE DRIVING THROUGH THEM AND ANYWHERE THAT WOULD DEFINITELY CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT , THE INITIAL REPAIR TO REPLACE THROTTLE BODY WAS $271 AND AN ADDITIONAL $88 FOR SAME ISSUE NOW THROTTLE PEDAL NEEDS REPLACED COST AT THIS TIME UNKNOWN

KEY SWITCH STICKS ON START , MOVES TO ACC ,ON ,FREELY. CANNOT BELIEVE CHRYSLER ISN'T REPLACING THE SWITCH AS IT IS DOING THE SAME THING THAT I READ THE 700,000 THEY RECALLED.

BOUGHT BATTERY AND SOMETHG IS STILL DRAINING AND IT KEEPS HSPPENING

WHEN I START THE CAR THERE IS A LOUD KNOCKING NOISE IN THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT AREA. THUS WENT ON RANDOMLY WHEN START OR PARK THE CAR. NOW THE AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON WHILE THE CAR IS ON. THE NOISE WOULD LAST A COUPLE MINUTES AT A TIME

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED OVERHEATING WHILE BEING OPERATED AT LOW SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE WIRING WAS DEFECTIVE AND THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. TYSON MOTOR CORPORATION (1 SW FRONTAGE RD SHORWOOD, IL) WAS ALSO CONTACTED; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 07V473000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING) AND 08V152000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) AS POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS TO THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 80,000.

THE FRONT, ESPECIALLY DRIVERS, DOOR WINDOW LIFT MECHANISM BREAKS, CAUSING THE WINDOW TO RETREAT DOWN, LEAVING THE WINDOW IN AN OPEN POSITION. THIS HAS BEEN FIXED 5 TIMES AND KEEPS BREAKING. A DEFINITE DESIGN FLAW.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT OF MY VEHICLE CAME ON TWO DAYS AGO WITHOUT THIS VEHICLE HAVING ANY ACCIDENT. I STARTED THE VEHICLE IN THE MORNING AND AS SOON AS I LEFT MY DRIVEWAY THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ONE. THE AIRBAG IS HOWEVER INTACT AND HAS NEVER BEEN DEPLOYED. I AM JUST SURPRISE AN AIRBAG WILL COME ONE WITHOUT THE VEHICLE HAVING ANY CRASH.

THIS MORNING I GOT TO WORK AND PUT MY VEHICLE TO PARK AND WHEN TRYING TO MOVE THE SHIFT BACK TO DRIVE THE SHIFT DOES NOT MOVE. TRYING TO PARK PARKED MY VEHICLE. SHIFTER CANNOT MOVE FROM PARK POSITION. DOING MY OWN RESEARCH I FOUND THAT, DODGE/CHRYSLER, ALREADY HAVE SOME RECALLS ON THIS ISSUE. RECALL #K39. I CALLED CHRYSLER GROUP RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER AT 1-800-853-1403 AND THEY INFORMED THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED UNDER #K39 RECALL. IT IS A BIG COINCIDENCE THEY HAVE A RECALL ON 2005 THROUGH 2007 MODEL YEAR DODGE CHARGER, MAGNUM AND CHRYSLER 300 EQUIPPED WITH A FLOOR SHIFTER, BUT NOT ON THIS VEHICLE. I WILL KEEP THIS VEHICLE PARK WHEN AN INVESTIGATION IS CONDUCTED ON THIS ISSUE. IF CHRYSLER USED THE SAME PARTS ON THIS VEHICLE AND OTHERS VEHICLES IN RECALL #K39, IT WILL BE VERY LIKELY THEY NEED TO INVESTIGATE OTHER VEHICLES LIKE MINE AND ISSUE THE SAME RECALL. PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE CONVERTIBLE TOP BECAME STUCK IN MID AIR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURED AT LEAST FIVE TIMES, ONE OF WHICH A TOW TRUCK WAS CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TOWED BECAUSE THE FAILURE CORRECTED ITSELF UPON ARRIVAL OF THE TOW TRUCK. JIM CLICK AUTOMOTIVE IN TUCSON, ARIZONA WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO SCHUMACHER CHRYSLER, DODGE, JEEP, RAM OF DELRAY (2102 S FEDERAL HIGHWAY, STE A DELRAY BEACH, FL 33483), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 08V152000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) IN 2007. NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,800.

FAULTY OR NO HEM FLANGE SEALER IN THE PAINT SHOP WAS USED TO PREVENT WATER SEEPING UNDER PAINT ON TWO PLACES OF THE FRONT HOOD AND ONCE PLACE ON THE LEFT REAR FENDER. THIS HAS CAUSED THE PAINT TO BUBBLE IN ALL THREE LOCATIONS, ALLOWED WATER TO GATHER IN ALL THREE PLACES AND IS CAUSING RUST DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE, NOT TO MENTION THE UGLY APPEARANCE OF BUBBLED PAINT AND POTENTIAL FOR CONTINUED RUST DAMAGE! THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR THAT SHOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED AND I'M SURE OTHER VEHICLES MADE AT THE SAME TIME EXPERIENCE SIMILAR ISSUES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING EQUIPPED WITH FIRESTONE PRIMEWELL TIRES, SIZE: 215/65/R15. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE CONSTANTLY PLACED AIR IN THE TIRES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE HORN SOUNDED ON ITS OWN, THE TPMS INDICATOR ILLUMINATED, AND THE VEHICLE STALLED.

THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE CONTACT'S HOUSE AND WAS KEPT IN THE GARAGE FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 94,000.

TOOK VEHICLE IN TO HAVE THE BALL JOINT TAKEN CARE OF. MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT THE DEALER SOLD ME A CAR WITH A VERY ROTTED SUBFRAME AND THAT THE CAR IS IN AN UNSAFE CONDITION TO DRIVE. I WAS TAKEN TO SEE THE SUBFRAME. THERE ARE SEVERAL CRACKS AS WELL AS LARGE HOLES. THEY WOULD NOT DO THE BALL JOINTS BECAUSE IT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THE SUBFRAME TO BREAK COMPLETELY. IF THE FRAME WOULD BREAK WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, IT COULD BE DEADLY. CHRYSLER HAS BEEN AWARE OF THIS ISSUE, BUT, EXTENDED WARRANTIES ON ONLY THREE OF THEIR VEHICLE MODELS WITH THIS ISSUE. SEBRINGS WERE NOT ON THE LIST. MY SON IS WILLING TO GO UNDER THE CAR FOR PICTURES IF NEEDED.

THIS CAR IS A DEATHTRAP , AND ACCELERATES AT HIGH SPEEDS AT ANY GIVEN TIME WITHOUT WARNING !!!! COULD DIE OR WIND UP KILLING SOMEONE . LOOKS LIKE IT HAS BEEN KNOWN FOR YEARS AND NOTHING AS COME OF IT! JUST BOUGHT THE CAR, HAD IT SHIPPED TO MY STATE & I CANNOT EVEN DRIVE IT! AND CANNOT SELL IT TO ANYONE AS ITS DANGEROUS. NOONE CAN FIND A FIX FOR IT. CHRYSLER PLAYED DUMB AND OVER THE YEARS CLAIMS THEY NEVER HEARD ABOUT THIS MAJOR PROBLEM , YET ITS ONLINE .. MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN THRU HELL. MAYBE EVEN A DEATH ... I NEED HELP.. OR ANSWERS...UPDATED 11/15/17 *BF UPDATED 10/4/18*JB

WHILE ADDING AIR TO A CUSTOMER'S TIRE, THE TPMS/VALVE STEM SNAPPED. ALL AIR PRESSURE WAS LOST IN THE TIRE.

ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO MY TPMS SENSOR ON MY DRIVER SIDE STOP WORKING, NOT EVEN A MONTH LATER MY CAR STARTED STALLING. I WOULD BE AT A LIGHT, STOP SIGN, OR PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND IT WOULD JUST STALL. SO I HAD THE ALTERNATOR REPLACED AT NOT EVEN 70,000 MILES WHICH SOLVED THE STALLING ISSUE. THEN ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO I NOTICED WHEN I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE DRIVING TO TAMPA FROM ORLANDO AND I PUT THE CRUISE CONTROL ON AND MY CAR STARTED SLOWING DOWN ON I4 AND ALMOST GOT ME HIT BY A SEMI TRUCK BUT HE WAS THANKFULLY ABLE TO SWERVE INTO THE LANE BESIDE ME. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND TOLD THEM THE ISSUE AND THEY SAID WELL THERE IS A RECALL ON THE TPMS BUT YOUR VIN NUMBER DOESN'T MATCH AND TURNED ME AWAY. THEN A FEW WEEKS LATER I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY PASSENGER SIDE DOOR NOT LOCKING AND THE WINDOW GOING UP BEFORE THE DOOR WAS SHUT, AND WOULD HAVE TO MESS WITH IT TO GET THE DOOR TO ACTUALLY SHUT. THEN ABOUT 8 MONTHS AGO MY RPMS WHERE JUMPING ERECTLY AND MY DAD WHO IS A MECHANIC CLEANED ALL THE CARBON OUT IN MY MOTOR AND I WAS STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THEN TODAY MY CAR SHIFT WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK AND MY DADS FRIEND NOTICED THE CABLE IN THE MOTOR WAS POPPED OUT AND POPPED IT BACK IN. SO I DRIVE TO CLASS AND WHEN I GET ON CAMPUS AND GO TO PARK MY CAR MY VAR GETS STUCK IN REVERSE AND I HAD TO SIT IN THERE FOR OVER AN HOUR WITH MY FOOT ON THE BREAK BEFORE SOMEONE WAS ABLE TO HELP ME. THIS CAR NEEDS A SERIOUS INVESTIGATION AND CHRYSLER REFUSES TO HELP ME WHEN I HAVE L

HORN AND PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM WENT OUT ON MY 4-CYL. 2.4L 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING SEDAN ABOUT A MONTH AGO. I REPLACED THE BULB, WHICH IS LABOR INTENSIVE ON THIS CAR IN ITSELF AND THE LOW BEAM STILL DID NOT WORK. I TESTED THE NEW BULB AND IT WORKED FINE. I MOVED THE BULB TO THE DRIVERS SIDE HEADLAMP AND IT WORKED FINE. THE HARNESS FOR THE BULB CONNECTOR CARRIES A 12V CURRENT BUT STILL THE LOW BEAM DOES NOT WORK. EVERY ONLINE SEARCH POINTS TO A FAULTY TIPM(TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE). I CAN'T AFFORD A NEW ONE AT $595 AND THAT'S IF I REPLACE IT MYSELF. I'M UNABLE TO FIND A COMPATIBLE USED PART AT SALVAGE YARDS IN THE AREA AND CHRYSLER DEALER SAYS THERE IS CURRENTLY A MONTH LONG NATIONAL BACKORDER ON THE PART AND IS UNSURE IF I'LL HAVE A REPLACEMENT IN A MONTH. THIS ALONE SHOULD BE A RED FLAG THAT THERE IS AN UNDERLYING ISSUE AT CHRYSLER. IN THE MEAN TIME I CONTINUE TO SEARCH SALVAGE YARDS AND AM LOOKING FOR A WAY TO BYPASS THE TIPM TO GET THE HEADLAMP WORKING, WHICH IN ITSELF COULD STILL LEAVE ME OPEN TO OTHER FAILURES ON THE TIPM. ALL THIS SAID, I'M WONDERING IF OTHER ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS WILL START TO GO SOON AS WELL. AS IT IS I'M HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE HORN, WHICH I BELIEVE ALSO RUNS THROUGH THE TIPM.

VALVE STEM CAME OFF WHEEL. THESE ARE THE ONES THAT HAVE A SENSOR. I WAS LUCKY TO HAVE IT HAPPEN WHILE I WAS NOT DRIVING. TIRE IMMEDIATELY DEFLATED. IT HAPPENED AT THE CAR WASH WHILE BEING DRIED WITH A TOWEL.

I WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT ON JUNE 19 2015 THE FRONT END OF MY CAR TOTAL LOSS MY CAR AIR BAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY. I WAS INJURED IN THIS ACCIDENT I WOULD LIKE INFORMATION ON WHAT CAN BE DONE...UPDATED 03/08/17 *BF

PASSENGER WINDOW EXPLODED IN THE DOOR WHILE TOUCHING CONTROL BUTTON FOR WINDOW TO OPEN TO ASK DIRECTIONS. HAD TO TRAVEL BY MYSELF TO MEXICO 300 MILES AWAY AND HAD TO DRIVE ALL THE WAY BACK TO LAS VEGAS WITH NO WINDOW. THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW DID THE SAME EXACT THING LAST SUMMER IN 2015. CALLED FCA CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER EVERYDAY FOR A WEEK NOW AND THEY TOLD ME MY CASE WAS BEING ESCALATED TO A CASE MANAGER. THEY WOULD NOT HELP ME. ALL I WANT IS FOR CHRYSLER TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR OF MY DEFECTIVE WINDOW. I CALLED 1-800-992-1997. THEY CALL THEMSELVES FCA CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER. THEY WERE A WASTE OF MY TIME AND EFFORT. LAST WINDOW ON DRIVER'S SIDE DID THE VERY SAME THING. I WANT SATISFACTION!!! I WANT THE WINDOW REPAIRED BY CHYRSLER ON THEM AS I REPAIRED MY LAST WINDOW BLOWOUT. CAN ANY ONE SUGGEST SOME HELP AS I REALLY NEED IT TODAY AND EVEN LAST WEEK? I'M AFRAID OF DRIVING MY OWN CAR.

THE DASH LIGHTS GO ON AND OFF RANDOMLY. AN EASY SEARCH ON GOOGLE SHOWS THIS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW WITH THOUSANDS OF CONSUMERS AFFECTED. THIS SHOULD BE AN IMMEDIATE RECALL TO REPLACE THE 12 VOLT INVERTER WHICH IS FLAWED.

OUR CAR WAS RUNNING FINE AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN STARTED TO OVER HEAT. FOR A WHILE IT WAS GOING THROUGH COOLANT THOUGHT IT WAS A LEAK BUT THEY DIDNT FIND ONE BUT THEN IT STOPPED USING COOLANT FROM WHAT WE CAN TELL AND IS OVERHEATING WITHIN A FEW BLOCKS. AIR STOPPED WORKING AND EVEN WITH HEAT ON IT OVER HEATS. I SAW A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE ON THESE CARS STARTING WITH THE 1996 MODEL AND THERE WERE RECALLS ON THIS SAME ISSUE ON 07-08 MODELS I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. WE TRIED THE THERMOSTAT AND THEY CHECKED OTHER THINGS FOUND NOTHING SO I WENT LOOKING TO SEE IF ONE OF THE RECALLS YOU PUT OUT A FEW YEARS AGO WAS MY CAR MAYBE.

HAD MY CAR GOING ON A YEAR AND I HAVE MADE MY TRIPS TO NY IN AUGUST OF 2014 A WEEK AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR AND GOING TO MI MAY OF THIS YEAR AND ONCE I TURN MY HEADLIGHTS OFF I LOSE ALL DASH LIGHTS WHEN I TURN THEM BACK ON. HAD TO USE MY PHONE FOR LIGHT JUST TO SEE MY SPEED. DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME JUST THE 2 TIMES SO FAR WHEN I TOOK MY TRIPS FROM NC N BACK

I BOUGHT THE CAR 1/02/2016 2 WEEKS LATER I AM IN MOTION I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AT A RED LIGHT IT TAKES OFF ON ITS OWN,CUTS OFF WHEN I MAKE A STOP

WHILE DRIVING AT A STEADY SPEED, VEHICLE WILL HESITATE WHEN CLIMBING AN INCLIINE OR WHEN I ACCELERATE, THIS IS NOT A STEADY HAPPENING.I HAVE TAKEN IT TO TWO DIFFERENT CHRYSLER DEALERSHIPS TO HAVE IT COMPUTER CHECKED BUT NOTHING SHOWS UP. A YOUNGER MECHANIC AT THE SECOND DEALERSHIP STATED IT SOUNDED TO HIM LIKE POSSIBLY THE CLUTCHES WERE SLIPPING AND CAUSING THE PROBLEM. SINCE IT DOESN'T SHOW UP ON THE COMPUTER HE SUGGESTED THAT I JUST CONTINUE DRIVING UNTIL SUCH TIME AS IT MAY STOP MOVING COMPLETELY AND THEN THE PROBLEM SHOULD BE ABLE TO BE FOUND.

TAKATA RECALL. DURING THE COURSE OF A YEAR SINCE I'VE PURCHASED THIS CAR, I HAVE EXPERIENCED ISSUES WITH WHAT I BELIEVE TO BE POWER STEERING. TWICE WHILE COMING TO A STOP (STOP SIGN OR LIGHT), MY STEERING WOULD LOCK ALONG WITH MY BRAKES. WHEN I TOOK IT TO A SHOP I WAS TOLD MY THERMOSTAT NEEDED REPLACED. I TOLD THEM TO FIX THE ISSUE. ON APRIL 17TH WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK A LITTLE AFTER MIDNIGHT THIS SAME ISSUE OCCURRED ONLY WHILE I WAS STILL DRIVING. I WAS ABLE TO FORCE MY WHEEL TO TURN ENOUGH TO DRIVE UP THE BEND I WAS DRIVING AROUND RATHER THAN THE SCHOOL IN FRONT OF ME. FINALLY I HIT A POLE AND MY CAR HAS BEEN RULED AS A TOTAL LOSS. I HAVE MANY CONCERNS IN REGARDS TO WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED AND WHY.

I REPLACED THE FAULTY TIPM AT MY OWN EXPENSE AND IT RESOLVED ALL THESE PROBLEMS. CHRYSLER HAS ISSUED RECALLS FOR TIPMS, BUT THEY HAVE NEVER RECALLED THE 2008 SEBRING. I HAVE THE ORIGINAL, FAULTY TIPM OUT OF THE CHRYSLER THAT I CAN SEND FOR TESTING AND VERIFICATION.

I BROUGHT MY CAR IN 2009. MY LIGHTS HAVE BLINKED FROM THE START. ON AUGUST 11, 2015, I DROVE 1 HOUR AND 17 MINUTES 59.5 MILES IN MODERATE TRAFFIC. I ARRIVED AT AGENCY. I EXITED THE CAR. ABOUT 5 MINUTES LATER, I RETURNED TO MY 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING AND ENTERED MY CAR. I STARTED THE CAR AS NORMAL APPLYING THE BRAKES WHILE SHIFTING GEARS AND PUT MY CAR IN REVERSE WITH ACCELERATION. AS MY CAR WAS IN MOTION THE CAR DANGEROUSLY SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BUSY ROAD AND I HAD TO APPLY THE BRAKES QUICKLY WHILE ROLLING AND IN MOTION. MY DAD AND I PUT A DIAGNOSTIC ON THE CAR AND IT READ A CODE. WE CHECKED THE POTENTIAL PROBLEMS. THE ONLY PROBLEM WAS THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. WE REFILLED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. ON MARCH 4, 2016, I DROVE 51 MINUTES 33.4 MILES IN MODERATE TO HEAVY TRAFFIC. I ARRIVED TO A MILITARY LOCATION. I EXITED THE CAR. ABOUT 3 MINUTES LATER, I RETURNED TO MY 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING AND ENTERED MY CAR. I STARTED THE CAR AS NORMAL APPLYING THE BRAKES WHILE SHIFTING GEARS AND PUT MY CAR IN REVERSE WITH ACCELERATION.

MY FATHER OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING LIMITED. AROUND THE YEAR 2014 AND 70,000 MILES, THE CAR STARTED TO ACT LIKE IT WAS POSSESSED. RADIO, HAZARD LIGHTS, INTERIOR LIGHTS WOULD TURN ON ALL BY THEMSELVES. MY FATHER TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. THEY TOLD HIM THAT THE RADIO STAYED AWAKE WHILE THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF AND THAT THIS WAS CAUSING A DRAW ON THE BATTERY. THEY TOLD HIM HE COULD REPLACE THE RADIO FOR $900 OR JUST PULL THE FUSE. THIS WOULD CURE THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER, THE BATTERY WAS TRASH AND IT COST HIM OVER $300 TO REPLACE. THE KNEW BATTERY DIDN'T LAST A YEAR. THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY B/C IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. HOWEVER, NOW THEY SAID, THAT AFTER THE TEST PERFORMED A DRAW TEST, THERE WAS AN INTERMITTENT DRAW OF 1 AMP OR MORE AT TIMES. THEY COULDN'T ISOLATE THE CIRCUIT AND THAT IT SEEMED TO BE SOMETHING INTERNAL TO TIPM CAUSING ISSUE. THEY SAID THEY COULD REPLACE FOR $765 BUT WOULD HAVE TO RECHECK, AND COULDN'T GUARANTEE THAT WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY RECOMMEND THAT HE SHOULD JUST DRIVE THE CAR TO KEEP THE BATTERY CHARGED. I WOULD LIKE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THIS CLASS ACTION VS. CHRYSLER.
