2010 Chrysler Sebring complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2010 CHRYSLER SEBRING. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED SMOKE UNDER THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND EXITED. THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE BECAME ENGULFED IN FLAMES. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS ABLE TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES REPORTED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK, MY CHRYSLER SEABRINGS WINDSHIELD WIPERS STARTED MOVING ON THEIR OWN. AT FIRST IT WAS MAYBE ONCE . AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS THEY STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY. NOT HAVING WORKING WINDSHIELD WIPERS IN FLORIDA IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT PRETTY MUCH RAINS EVERY DAY. I TOOK MY CAR TO A LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND NOW I AM BEING CHARGED $1100 A SWITCH AND A TIPM. I HAD NO IDEA WHAT A TIPM WAS SO I LOOKED IT UP ON THE INTERNET. SEEMS CHRYSLER HAS A DEFECTIVE PART ON ALMOST ALL OF THEIR VEHICLES WHICH CONTROL ALL ELECTRICAL DEVICES. THIS SITUATION IS SO UNFAIR. THESE TIPM PARTS SHOULD BE REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE.

I WAS GETTING OFF THE FREEWAY AND THE CAR STARTED TO SLOW DOWN AND STUTTER SO I TURNED OFF THE MAIN ROAD AND THE ENGINE TURNED OFF AND THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT. LUCKILY IT WAS A SUNDAY SO THERE WASN'T ANY TRAFFIC BEHIND ME BUT IF THERE HAD BEEN THERE COULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT SINCE I HAD NO CONTROL OVER POWER STEERING OR THE ENGINE SHUTTING OFF. THERE WAS NO INDICATION ON THE DASH BOARD THAT THERE WAS A MAJOR ISSUE. I TRIED TO START IT A FEW TIMES BUT HAD TO WAIT OVER 5 MINUTES BEFORE IT FINALLY STARTED. I TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC THE NEXT DAY AND AFTER LOOKING IT OVER THEY SAID I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE. IT DIDN'T MAKE SENSE BECAUSE I CHANGE THE OIL EVERY 3,000 MILES AND THE CHECK ENGINE ON THE CAR SAYS THERE IS A GAS CAP ISSUE. IT SAYS NOTHING ABOUT THE ENGINE HAVING A PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THE 2.7 ENGINE HAS ALOT OF PROBLEMS AND MINE HAD BUILT UP OIL SLUDGE. ONCE IN A WHILE THE CAR WOULD SAY TO CHANGE THE OIL OR SAY THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE OIL PRESSURE BUT EVERY TIME I TOOK IT IN TO GET CHECKED I WAS TOLD THE OIL IS FINE. WITHOUT THE DASH TELLING ME THERE IS A SERIOUS ISSUE A MECHANIC WILL NOT KNOW OF THE OIL SLUDGE PROBLEM UNTIL THEY TEAR APART THE ENGINE. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS THE DASH WARNING SYSTEM IS SUPPOSED TO LET YOU KNOW WHEN THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE. I REALLY THINK CHRYSLER SHOULD STOP MAKING CARS ALL TOGETHER BECAUSE I HAVE SEEN SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE ISSUE AND THERE IS NOT ENOUGH MEDIA OUT THERE LETTING US KNOW OF THIS. IT IS A BIG SAFETY

MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING DOWNS THE FREEWAY, WE WERE ON OUR WAY TO A WEDDING NEXT THING WE KNOW THE MADE A NOISE AND START SLOWING WAY DOWN WHILE ON THE FREEWAY. LUCKILY MY HUSBAND WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER. THE CAR TOTALLY STOP WORKING. WE WAITED FOR A LITTLE WHILE AND THE CAR STARTED BACK UP WE WERE TRYING TO GET OUT OF THE HOT SUN. THAT DAY IT WAS A WHOPPING 90 DEGREE OUTSIDE I WAS VERY UPSET. WE WE ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO THE OTHER SIDE OF FREEWAY TO PULL OFF AND THE CAR WENT OUT AGAIN AND WOULD NOT START.WE CALLED A TOLL TRUNK WHICH TOOK THEM AN HOUR TO GET TO US. WHAT HAD HAPPENED IS THE TIMING CHAIN BROKE INSIDE THE ENGINE AND MESSED UP A LOT OF OTHER THINGS INSIDE THE ENGINE. THE SAID THEY FIXED IT BUT AROUND 29,000 MILES AND 6 MONTHS WENT BY AND THE SAME THING OCCURRED AGAIN GETTING READY TO PULL OF AT MY MOMS HOUSE. THE CAR DEALER WOULD NOT FIX FOR FREE, THE MANUFACTURER ONLY OFFERED TO FIX THE TIMING CHANGE FOR HALF OFF. WHICH THE COST FOR THAT WAS $1800. THIS WAS DEFIANTLY A SAFETY ISSUE AND I DO NOT WANT THIS CAR EVEN THOUGH I'M PAYING MY CAR NOTE STILL ON TIME FOR THE LAST 2 YEARS. I AM SO DISSATISFIED WITH THIS VEHICLE. PLEASE DO AN INVESTIGATION. THE IS NOT FIXED TO THIS DAY. THE CAR NEED TO BE SALVAGE. *JS

I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE AT 55 MPH WHEN MY ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON AND MY SPEED DROP DOWN TO A STUTTERING 35 MPH WHICH ALMOST CAUSE THE CAR BEHIND ME TO REAR END ME. I HAVE THE BUMPER TO BUMPER POWER TRAIN WARRANTY BUT I WAS TOLD THAT THE PART MY NOT BE COVERED. *TR

THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED WILL TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY AT 65 MPH. WITHOUT NOTICE THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT ILLUMINATE AND THE CAR DECELERATED FROM 65MPH TO 35MPH. THIS DECELERATION ALMOST CAUSE THE CAR FOLLOWING TO ALMOST REAR-END MY CAR. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED ON OTHER DODGE/CHRYSLER VEHICLE. I WOULD LIKE FOR THIS TO BE INVESTIGATED BEFORE SOMEONE LOSE THEIR LIFE. *TR

WIPERS HAVE A MIND OF THEIR OWN. SOMETIMES THEY JUST QUIT WORKING DURING A RAIN STORM AND OTHER TIMES THEY CHANGE SPEED ON THEIR OWN AND OTHER TIMES THEY STOP RIGHT IN YOUR FIELD OF VISION DURING A RAIN STORM. YOU CAN SOMETIMES GET THEM WORKING AGAIN BY PULLING OFF THE ROAD IF YOU CAN DO SAFELY AND SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTART IT AND THINGS GO BACK TO NORMAL. I HAD A MECHANIC LOOK AT IT AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG MECHANICALLY WRONG WITH THE WIPER MOTOR OR LINKAGE. THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE INTEGRATED BODY COMPUTER THAT CONTROLS THE WIPER SYSTEM. I TOLD MY CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP ABOUT IT AND THEY SAID THAT THERE WASN'T A RECALL ABOUT IT YET AND THAT YES IT IS THE COMPUTER THAT IS THE PROBLEM AND OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM THAT NEEDS FIXED BEFORE THERE ARE FATAL ACCIDENTS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHRYSLER SEBRING. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE SPEEDOMETER FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 73,000.

FIRST TIME ANYTHING HAPPENED - HOTOIL WARNING, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND A WEIRD TEMP LIGHT CAME ON - BUT ALL GAUGES WERE FINE AND CAR WAS DRIVING FINE. TOOK IT TO A COUPLE DIFFERENT PLACES TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC RUN ON THE CAR. CODES CAME BACK THAT THE ECM AND TCM WERE NOT COMMUNICATING. SYSTEM WAS RESET AND CAR WAS FINE. A FEW WEEKS LATER SAME THING. MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING AND IT ALSO QUIT SHIFTING. AT A STOPLIGHT WE FELT A CLUNK AS IT SLIPPED INTO GEAR LIGHTS WENT OUT AND EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE. ABOUT A WEEK AGO - SAME THING HAPPENED, TOOK IT TO CHRYSLER GARAGE AND FOR $100.00 RAN A DIAGNOSTIC AND TOLD US THAT THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE WAS DEFECTIVE. THEY UPDATED THE COMPUTER AND IT SEEMED TO WORK FINE. TONIGHT (ONLY A WEEK SINCE IT WAS UPDATED) ALL OF THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON AND IT HAS QUIT SHIFTING. I AM GOING TO HAVE TO GO BACK TO CHRYSLER FOR A $3000.00 + REPLACEMENT OF THE ENTIRE PCM (POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE IS THE MAIN COMPUTER SYSTEM IN THE CAR) I HAVE A WARRANTY ON THE POWERTRAIN - BUT OF COURSE THIS PART IS NOT COVERED - EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE. IT SEEMS ODD TO ME THAT THE 2009 SEBRING HAD A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT PART AND SO DID THE 2011, BUT NOT THE 2010. STRANGE -- AND I CAN HONESTLY SAY I HATE CHRYSLER --- TOTALLY RUDE AND UNCONCERNED ABOUT THE FINANCIAL BURDEN THIS WILL CAUSE MY FAMILY --- IF THE PCM IS REQUIRED FOR THE POWERTRAIN TO FUNCTION PROPERLY - IT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED PART OF THE POWERTRAIN AND SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE WARR

I WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT WHERE ANOTHER CAR HIT THE PASSENGER SIDE AND ONLY THE PASSENGER AIR BAG DEPLOYED. THE CRASH WAS BAD ENOUGH WHERE THE OTHER AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. I SUFFERED INJURIES TO MY BACK, NECK AND ARMS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR LAST WEEK AND THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON THEN WENT OFF HAPPENED MAYBE 3 OR 4 TIMES BUT NOTHING OF IT... SO TODAY I'M ON MY WAY FROM WORK I MAKE A STOP ON MY WAY HOME GO TO START THE CAR AND LEAVE AND I TURNED THE KEY BUT NOTHING THE RADIO AND LIGHTS ALL WORK BUT IT'S NOT EVEN ATTEMPTING TO START. I THOUGHT MAYBE I NEEDED A JUMP I TRIED THAT AND STILL NOTHING I HAVE ROUGHLY 56000 MILES AND I SERVICE THE CAR REGULARLY I NEED AN EXPLANATION BECAUSE THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A COMMON PROBLEM FROM MULTIPLE THREADS I'VE READ ABOUT THIS CAR. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE!!!! *JS

WELL I HAVE BEEN AT CHYSLER CONCERNING MY BRAKES, SMELL OF SMOKE AND MY ENGINE KEEP COMING ON AND EACH TIME POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE. THEY WILL NOT TELL ME WHAT EXACTLY IS GOING ON AND I AM VERY UPSET WITH THE POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE. THIS IS TAKING TIME FROM MY WORK AND COST CONSUMING. MY CAR HAS 11,051 MILES AND THAT IS RIDICULOUS THAT I GO BACK AND FORTH. I AM VERY UPSET OF THE POOR SERVICE AND FEEL THEY ARE NOT PUTTING THE PROPER PARTS IN MY CAR. MY BREAK STILL SQUEAK AND I BROUGHT EXTRA WARRANTY FOR THIS CAR. THE POOR SERVICE AND DECIET IS TERRIBLE. I AM GOING TO THE MEDIA WITH THIS ISSUE. NOTHING HAS NOT CHANGE AND I CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE AT THE CHYSLER CORPORATE OFFICE AND THEY TREATED ME WITH TOTAL DISRESPECT. *TR

I EXPLAINED TO HIM I DID NOT HAVE ANY ACCIDENTS, DID NOT HIT ANYTHING AT ALL. I HAVE CONTACTED THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU. THEY STATED CHRYSLER RESPONDED THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE.

PURCHASED BRAND NEW 2010 CHRYSLER SEBRING ON JANUARY 24, 2011 FROM STERLING HGTS DODGE IN STERLING HGTS, MI. EVER SINCE I GOT THE CAR, THE IDIOT TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AFTER DRIVING ON THE XWAY ABOUT 10 MILES AND STAYS ON FOR A FEW DAYS, THEN GOES OFF. IT COMES ON WHEN IT RAINS OR IS REAL COLD OUTSIDE UNDER 20 DEGREES AND STAYS ON. I CHECK THE TIRE PRESSURES ON ALL 4 TIRES AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. I DROVE IT TO THE DEALER, AND THEY SAID THAT THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH THESE SENSORS. THEY CHECKED MY TIRE PRESSURES AND ALL WERE CORRECT. JUST DRIVE IT SOME MORE MILES AND THE LIGHT WILL GO OFF WAS WHAT WAS SAID TO ME. THIS PROBLEM IS CONSISTENTLY GOING ON AND OFF EVERY WEEK! SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BY SOME OUTSIDE AGENCY TO FORCE CHRYSLER TO REPLACE ALL THESE TIRE SENSORS. EVERY WEEK LIKE CLOCKWORK, THE SAME THING HAPPENS. I AM TIRED OF IT. I AM TIRED OF NOT GETTING HELP FROM CHRYSLER. *TR

I CHECKED THE BOX FOR SEBRING, BUTI HAVE A 2010 PT CRUISER. THEIR WAS NO OPTION FOR PT CRUISER. I PURCHASED THE CAR 2/25/2010. IT HAS A DEFECTIVE DRIVER SEAT. SIDE OF SEAT KEEPS BREAKING. NUMEROUS PATCH REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE BY THE DEALERSHIP FROM MAY TO TODAY--9/17/2010. AT ONE TIME THE SEAT MOVED FORWARD AND MY KNEES WERE LOCKED AGAINST THE STEERING COLUMN AND THE SEAT WOULD NOT MOVE BACK. CAR HAS A POWER SEAT. MOST OF THE PATCH REPAIRS ONLY LASTED FOR 2- 3 WEEKS. SEAT CLIPS, SIDE MOUNTING STAND, SEAT CUSHION, COVER HAVE ALL BEEN REPLACED AT LEAST TWICE. CLIPS HAVE BEEN REPLACED NUMEROUS TIMES. DEALERSHIP SAYS PROBLEM IS A DESIGN FLAW, AND THAT THEY HAVE SEEN SEVERAL PT CRUISERS WITH THE PROBLEM. I ASKED REPEATEDLY FOR A NEW DRIVER SEAT. TWO WEEKS AGO, I TOOK MY COMPLAINT TO CHRYSLER SERVICE AND THEY REFUSED TO AUTHORIZE A NEW SEAT. DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THE SEAT DOES NOT COME AS A SINGLE REPLACEMENT UNIT, AND THAT ALL PARTS WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED TO BUILD ME A NEW SEAT BOTTOM. THE DEALERSHIP FINALLY AGREED TODAY TO DO THIS. IN CALLING CHRYSLER ON A FOLLOW UP TODAY, CHYRSLER INFORMED ME THAT REPAIRS WOULD NOT BE REIMBURSED TO THE DEALERSHIP UNLESS THE DEALERSHIP COULD JUSTIFY ALL THE PARTS WERE BROKEN. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY UNDER WARRANTY...ABOUT 10,500 MILES. I HAVE NOT PAID FOR ANY REPAIRS, BUT IT IS A BIG INCONVENIENCE (AND I THINK A SAFETY HAZARD). DEALERSHIP SAYS CHRYSLER NEEDS TO MAKE A DESIGN MODIFICATION. I HAVE OWNED 5 PT CRUISERS. THIS IS THE ONLY ONE THAT HA
