2008 Chrysler Sebring complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE ALSO ERRONEOUSLY ACCELERATED WHILE THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS HOWEVER, THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE BUT REBOOTED THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AS A PRECAUTION. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 08V152000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) AND WAS ADVISED BY THE MANUFACTURER WAS THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000. *TR

TOOK MY 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING TO HAVE RECALL PART TRANS SHIFT INTERLOCK SPRING REPLACED. WHEN I ARRIVED TO PICK UP THE VEHICLE THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. THE SERVICE DEPT INCLUDING THE MANAGER SAID THE BATTERY MUST HAVE GONE DEAD WHILE THEY WERE REPLACING THE RECALLED PART. ALL SERVICE PEOPLE INCLUDING THE MANAGER DID NOT EVEN WANT TO JUMP THE VEHICLE SO THAT WE COULD BRING IT HOME. THE VEHICLE HAD NEVER HAD A DEAD BATTERY BEFORE THIS. EVER SINCE THE PART WAS REPLACED THE BATTERY KEEPS GOING DEAD. BATTERY WAS REPLACED ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO AND STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. WE GET NO ASSISTANCE FROM THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP EXCEPT FOR THEM TO SAY THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE. *TR

SO FAR MY 2008 SEBRING HAS TURNED OFF WHILE DRIVING TWICE. I WAS SLOWING DOWN FROM 30MPH FOR A STOP LIGHT AND IT TURNED OFF AND WAS LUCKILY ABLE TO UTILIZE THE BRAKES IF NOT I WOULD HAVE REAR ENDED THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME, BUT AS FOR THE STEERING, IT WAS UNRESPONSIVE. HOWEVER, I TURNED MY CAR BACK ON AS IF NOTHING HAPPEN UNTIL THE SECOND TIME IT STALLED WHILE TURNING INTO MY STREET. SAME ISSUE OCCURRED (NO STEERING, BUT BRAKES WERE OK.)CAR STALLS ONCE AGAIN GOOD THING MY CAR TURNS BACK ON IMMEDIATELY. ITS WAS DANGEROUS ONLY FOR THE FACT THAT ONCOMING TRAFFIC WOULD BE UNABLE TO SEE ME STALLED THERE BECAUSE ROAD FORMS A HILL OVER THE CANAL, SINCE SOON AFTER I WENT PASSED OVER THE CANAL MY STREET ENTRANCE IS MORE OR LESS 20FT FROM THE CANAL, IT COULD BE A BLIND SPOT. *TR

THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE LIGHT IS CONTINUOUSLY COMING ON EVEN AFTER REPAIRS. THE CAR WILL RIDE FIND AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN CUT OFF WITH NO WARNING OTHER THAN THE LIGHT APPEARING. ALSO IT STALLS AND YOU CAN BE IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC WHICH IS DEFINITELY SAFETY HAZARDOUS. I'VE NOTICE THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED TO THOUSAND AND TO MY SURPRISE NO RECALL. *TR

WHEN RAISING OR LOWERING THE TOP IT WOULD MALFUNCTION (SOME WHERE BETWEEN COMPLETELY UP OR DOWN) AND REMAIN IN THAT STATE SOMETIMES FOR HOURS, LOCAL TOWING SERVICES REFUSE TO TRANSPORT THE VEHICLE TO A NEARBY DEALERSHIP OUT OF FEAR THEY WOULD DO MORE DAMAGE TO IT. SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE (2007) WE'VE HAD IT SERVICED (SEP' 2007, JUL' 2010, AND SEP' 2011) AT DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM; EACH TIME THEY ASSURED US THAT THE PROBLEM HAD BEEN CORRECTED. MOST RECENTLY (MAY 29TH) WE AGAIN HAD THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE, FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. AS BEFORE, THE REAR WINDOW PANEL (RIGHT SIDE) HAS DROPPED SEVERAL INCHES, THE TOP IS INOPERATIVE, AND A STRAP THAT ATTACHES TO THE UNDERSIDE OF THE TOP HAS BROKEN AND HANGS DOWN INTO THE CRADLE. AS ROYAL PROTECTION PLAN HAS EXPIRED, THE DEALERSHIP HAS PROJECTED MY OUT-OF-POCKET REPAIR COSTS, THIS TIME, TO EXCEED $1,015. WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DETERMINE IF A RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS RECURRING PROBLEM. *TR

I WAS DRIVING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AND STARTED SPEEDING UP DUE TO LESS TRAFFIC. I WAS GOING 60 MPH WHEN MY CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING AND STARTED MAKING THIS WEIRD REVVING NOISE (THE KIND WHEN YOU ARE PARKED OR IN NEUTRAL), MY WARNING LIGHT CAME ON FOR THE ELECTRICAL PANEL. I THEN PULLED OVER BECAUSE IT WAS NOT GOING ANY FASTER THAN 35 MPH. JUST LETTING IT SIT IT WAS MAKING THOSE SAME NOISES. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT. THE LIGHT WHEN AWAY AND IT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE AGAIN. IT HAD A LITTLE ISSUE GETTING BACK UP TO SPEED BUT OVERALL IT WENT BACK TO NORMAL. *TR

FRONT DRIVER SEAT STARTED FEELING LOOSE, AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON, LOW TIRE LIGHT CAME ON AND CHECK OIL LIGHT WOULD COME ON EVERY TIME CAR IS STARTED. A FEW DAYS LATER THE CAR DIDN'T FEEL RIGHT AND STARTED MAKING A LOUD KNOCKING NOISE, TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC AND FOUND OUT THAT TENSIONER BELT BECAME LOOSE CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE CAR. I HAD TO GET A NEW ALTERNATOR, TENSIONER & PULL, AND TRANSMISSION FLUSHED/SERVICED AS WELL AS THE POWER STEERING. NOT VERY HAPPY WITH THIS 2008 SEBRING!!!!! *TR

ON MONDAY 1/28/2013 AFTER A HEAVY MORNING OF SNOWING AND RAINING, I BEGAN TO RUN ERRANDS. ALL OF SUDDEN MY CAR 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING STALLED AS I WAS DRIVING. I STARTED THE CAR IMMEDIATELY BACK UP WITH NO PROBLEMS HOWEVER SHORTLY AFTERWARDS PULLING UP TO A TRAFFIC LIGHT THE CAR STALLED AGAIN. EVERYTHING IN THE CAR GOES OFF AS IF SOMEONE HAS TURNED THE IGNITION KEY TO OFF POSITION. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS THERE ARE NO WARNING TO THE POSSIBILITY THE CAR IS ABOUT TO STALL. TUESDAY 1/29/13 I TOOK MY CAR TO A LOCAL REPAIR CHAIN AS IT CONTINUED TO STALL AND THEY REPORTED NOT FINDING ANYTHING ELECTRICAL WRONG WITH THE CAR NOR MECHANICAL. HOWEVER, THEY SUGGESTED THAT WHEN CARS STALL SOMETIMES IT MAY BE THE SPARK PLUGS MAY NEED TO BE REPLACED. SO BASED ON THEIR SUGGESTION I HAD THE SPARK PLUGS REPLACED/TUNE UP. UNFORTUNATELY, THIS DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM AS I DROVE HOME CAR STALLED. ON WEDNESDAY 1/20/13, I TOOK THE CAR TO ANOTHER TRUSTED MECHANIC AND THEY REPORTED THE PROBLEM BEING ELECTRICAL AND MANUFACTURED DUE TO HOW THE CAR TOTALLY SHUTS DOWN AND NOT REGISTERING WITH THE DASH BOARD A PROBLEM. ON 1/31/13 I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP ONLY FOR THEM TO CONFIRM, SO FAR, WHAT THE OTHER TWO MECHANICS ALREADY TOLD ME, ITS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM THAT IS NOT SHOWING UP ON DASH. FOR THREE DAYS THE CAR STALLED APRX. 11 TIMES AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS AND/OR IN MOTION. I HAVE READ THERE WAS A RECALL ON 2007-2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING'S HOWEVER WHEN I CALLED CHRYSLER I WAS TOLD THAT DID

ALMOST EVERY TIME I FILL THE GAS TANK, THE GAS SPILLS OR SPRAYS OUT OF THE TANK. NO MATTER HOW SLOW I FILL IT. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND I HAD THIS SAME ISSUE WITH ANOTHER 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING CONVERTIBLE. *TR

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING AT ROUGHLY AROUND 45MPH WHEN THE (ETC) ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT CAME. SHE LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE MOMENTARILY, HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO SLOW THE CAR DOWN. SHE SHUT THE CARE OFF, WENT TO START IT BACK UP AGAIN AND IT WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING, KEEP IN MIND SHE HAD OUR 2 CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE ALSO. AFTER A COUPLE OF TRIES TO START THE VEHICLE, IT FINALLY STARTED AGAIN, NO MORE LIGHT! SHE HAD TOLD ME WHAT THE CAR WAS DOING, SO I DROVE IT FOR A DAY, AND NOTHING HAPPENED AT ALL. LATER THAT NIGHT SHE WENT TO THE STORE, AND IT DID IT AGAIN!! THIS TIME IT STAYED ON AND STARTED BLINKING. I DROVE THE CAR, AND IT WONT GO OVER 20MPH, AND IDLES REALLY ROUGH, ALSO IDLES HIGH, BETWEEN 1500-2100RPM. I AM WRITING THIS BECAUSE AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THIS IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THERE IS MORE THAN A COUPLE THOUSAND VEHICLES THAT HAVE DONE THE SAME THING. (THE 07' TO 08' CHRYSLER SEBRING) IT PUT MY FAMILY IN DANGER, THIS IS WHY I AM POSTING THIS COMPLAINT. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. *TR

I AM HAVING ISSUES WHEN FILLING UP MY TANK WITH GAS. THE PUMP SHUTS OFF AND WHEN I PULL IT OUT A COUPLE OF GALLONS WILL SPRAY OUT. THE SHUT OFF IN THE CAR IS NOT WORKING. I HAVE READ WHERE OTHERS ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE TOO. *TR

AFTER I RECEIVED WORK DONE ON THE ELECTRICAL-RECALL, MY CAR KEEPS ON STALLING. THIS CAN BE VERY SCARY AND HAS ALMOST CAUSED SEVERAL ACCIDENTS. MY CAR SHOULD NOT BE SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING. I DID NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM UNTIL AFTER THE RECALL WAS FIXED ON MY CAR. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. *TR

WHEN FILLING THE VEHICLE WITH GAS, THE GAS SPRAYS BACK OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE AFTER THE AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF OF THE GAS STATION PUMP. I WOULD ESTIMATE ONE TO TWO CUPS OF GASOLINE SPRAY OUT ONTO THE PUMP HANDLE, THE SIDE OF THE CAR, MY CLOTHES, AND THE DRIVE. THIS IS A FORCEFUL SPRAY. THIS HAPPENS ON THE INITIAL SHUT-OFF OF THE PUMP, UNRELATED TO TOPPING OFF THE TANK. THIS STARTED AROUND DECEMBER OF 2011 AND HAPPENS AT ALL GAS STATIONS. THERE IS NO NOTICEABLE SLOPE TO THE DRIVES AT THESE GAS STATIONS AND IT DOES NOT MATTER WHICH SPEED I USE ON THE PUMP. IT WILL HAPPEN IF I USE THE SLOWEST SPEED OR IF I SET THE PUMP HANDLE TO FULL SPEED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE! I SEE OTHERS ONLINE WITH THE SAME COMPLAINTS IN CHRYSLER VEHICLES. WHAT CAN I DO? *TR

QUICKLY RACED THROUGH THE STORE GOT WHAT I NEEDED WENT BACK OUT TO MY VEHICLE STARTED THE ENGINE HORN CONTINUOUSLY WENT OFF AS I DROVE HOME. THIS IS CONTINUALLY HAPPENING TO ME AS I DRIVE MY CAR.

ON SEPTEMBER 30, 2010, I PURCHASED A 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING FROM A DEALERSHIP IN PLYMOUTH, WI. THE CAR HAD 19,204 MILES ON IT. THE CAR ALSO HAD BRIDGESTONE TURANZA TIRES. I TOOK MY CAR INTO TIRES PLUS FOR AN OIL CHANGE AT 22,700 MILES ON THE DASH. I WAS TOLD BY THE TECHNICIAN THAT I NEEDED NEW TIRES, BECAUSE MY TIRES HAD 3/32 OF TREAD ON THEM. ON JANUARY 28, 2011, THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE CAR SO GANDRUD INSTALLED A AUTO TRANS SHIFT LEVER INTERLOCK SPRING.THEY ALSO CHECKED TIRE PRESSURE AND SET TIRE PRESSURE. A ABOUT A MONTH LATER, I STARTED HAVING TROUBLE WITH GETTING MY KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION SWITCH. HAVING TO WIGGLE THE STEERING COLUMN TO GET IT OUT. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO GANDRUD TO HAVE THEM CHECK IT AND THEY TOLD ME NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT. ON MAY 11, 2011, I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR ANOTHER OIL CHANGE AND TIRE ROTATION. GANDRUD TOLD ME I HAD 4/32 TREAD ON THE TIRES AT 30,026 MILES. ON JUNE 24, 2011, I TOOK IT BACK TO GANDRUD FOR ANOTHER OIL CHANGE AT 33,572 MILES ON THE DASH AND WAS TOLD I HAD 4/32 OF TIRE TREAD LEFT ON THE TIRES.

I GOT A QUOTE FROM THE SERVICE GUY, DECIDED I CAN BEAT THAT PRICE.SET-UP AN APPOINTMENT WITH TIRES PLUS FOR FOUR TIRES AN ALIGNMENT. UNFORTUNATELY, I D

MY ACCELERATOR HAS BEEN STICKING AND BEGIN NOT LONG AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR USED IN 2010. I THOUGHT AT FIRST IT WAS THE CAR MAT GETTING IN THE WAY BUT THAT WAS NOT THE CASE THIS LAST TIME ON SUNDAY OCTOBER 2,2011. I WAS PULLING INTO PARKING SPACE AND HAD MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR WHEN THE CAR ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN AND I HIT THE CEMENT CURB WHICH WAS TALLER THAN MOST. THERE WAS SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO THE LOWER PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR. I WAS ABLE TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES GETTING IT TO STOP BEFORE FURTHER DAMAGE. MY DAUGHTER WAS IN THE CAR WITH ME BUT NO ONE WAS INJURED. IF THE CURB WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN TALL THE CAR WOULD HAVE MORE AND LIKELY JUMPED IT AND RAN INTO BUILDING, BUT BECAUSE OF HEIGHT OF IT THIS DID NOT HAPPEN. I THEN GOT OUT AND INSPECTED THE DAMAGE WHICH WAS LESS THAN I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE AND NO AIR BAGS DISBURSED. *TR

IN AUGUST 2010, I BOUGHT A 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING WITH ONLY 25,000 MILES. NOW WITH ONLY 32,000 MILES - THE THROTTLE PART HAS TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE OF STALLING AND ALSO THE COMPUTER SYSTEM HAS TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE READ THE COMPLAINTS THAT THE THROTTLE CAN MALFUNCTION AND SPEED UP THE VEHICLE! AND I HAVE READ THE COMPLAINTS THAT THE THROTTLE CAN STALL OUT THE VEHICLE. WHY HASN'T THE THROTTLE PART (CODE P2107) BEEN RECALLED? I WAS TOLD THAT THE THROTTLE PART IS ONLY GUARANTEED FOR 1 YEAR. THIS SHOULD BE A MANUFACTURE DEFECT AND CHRYSLER IS PUTTING DEFECTIVE THROTTLES ON THIS MODEL OF SEBRING AND NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS DEFECT. HOW MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM? WHY DOESN'T CHRYSLER HAVE A WARRANTY IN EFFECT FOR THIS PROBLEM BEFORE MORE DRIVERS GET KILLED OR INJURED? PLEASE RESPOND. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING BACK TO LOS ANGELES,CA FROM SEDONA, AZ. IT HAD BEEN RAINING OFF/ON ALL DAY. SOMETIMES LIGHTLY AND OFTEN TIMES VERY HEAVY WITH WAKE WATER COMING OFF OF OTHER CARS AND TRUCKS ON A VERY BUSY CA HIGHWAY. MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING DURING HEAVY DOWNPOUR TWICE. HAD TO CRAWL OFF THE FREEWAY WHILE UNABLE TO SEE BECAUSE OF NO WIPERS. HAD TO WAIT AT LEAST 15 MINUTES BEFORE THEY WOULD WORK AGAIN AFTER THE FIRST FAILURE. WAS ABLE TO TRAVEL USING THE DELAYED INTERMITTENT SEQUENCE UNTIL RAIN GOT TOO HEAVY. WHEN SWITCHED TO FASTER WIPING AFTER TEN MINUTES WIPERS STOPPED AGAIN. LUCKILY AGAIN I WAS ABLE TO CRAWL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, AND I WAITED FOR THE RAIN TO STOP. I HAVE NOT HAD THIS HAPPEN BEFORE AND I HAVE DRIVEN LONG AND SHORT DISTANCES IN THE RAIN. ANOTHER ISSUE IS I HAVE HAD ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS OVER THE LAST YEAR AND 1/2, THE CAR SHUT OFF/STALL WHILE WAITING AT RED LIGHTS, AND ONCE WHILE THE CAR WAS MOVING IT STARTED TO STALL. AT NO TIME DID THE ENGINE MALFUNCTION LIGHT,OR ELECTRICAL LIGHT COME ON OR STAY ON. I WAS TOLD BY CHRYSLER TECHNICIANS/MECHANICS THAT UNLESS THE LIGHT STAYS ON THEY CAN'T DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. OTHERWISE THE FAILURE HAD TO BE DUPLICATED, I.E, HAVE TO OCCUR IN THE PRESENCE OF THE TECHNICIANS. WELL YOU KNOW HOW THAT GOES. I UNDERSTAND THAT MY CAR WAS NOT PART THE 08V152000 RECALL, BUT THIS SITUATION IS DANGEROUS. PLEASE HELP.

CHRYSLER SEBRING 2008 HOWEVER, I AM HAVING PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT WHICH WILL COME ON SOMETIME AND NEVER GO OFF UNLESS YOU STOP THE CAR AND RESTART. WHEN ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT IS ON YOU CANNOT BREAK TO STOP THE CAR, OR SPEED UP. IT MAKE YOU LOOSE CONTROL OF THE WHOLE CAR INCREASING THE POTENTIALITY OF ACCIDENT IF YOU WAS DRIVING AT ANY SPEED ABOVE 25 MPH. I WENT TO CHRYSLER DEALERSHIPS, BUT THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THE CAR OR COULD CAUSE THAT FAILURE, `AND HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO FIX IT. I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS PROBLEM IS RELATED TO THE POWER TRAIN. THE PROBLEM HAPPENED TO ME ALREADY MORE THAN 30 TIMES. *TR
