STEERING

i own a 2007 chrysler sebring bought new in oct 2007. i have been having a constant vibrating problem with the braking system and/or tires since may 2008 and i did not know my brake system was covered under warranty up to 18,000 miles so i took it a firestone dealer. at the time i had 15,000 on my sebring and they told me that my brakes were wearing down due to my rotors eating my brad pads and i would need them to be resurfaced. so i paid out of pocket $120 to have them resurfaced and continued to have the same problem then when i had time i took my vehicle to the dealer in august 2008 and they informed me that i would need new rotors and brakes because firestone did not properly put the brakes back on or something with the braker slider bridge. well come to find out from the manager at firestone, that my rotors should not have to be replaced at such low mileage and it is a manufacturers defect from the chrysler corporation. well i had to have them replaced because i work an hour away from my home and depend on my vehicles liability. i could not stand driving 2 hours everyday with constant vibration. so i paid $288.00 to have my rotors replaced and firestone was kind enough to throw in the brakes for free. well here it is october 18, 2008 and i am still having the same exact problem. i called chrysler corporation and informed them of my problems and they just do not seem to care. i have been the route of the dealer and i keep getting the run around. well when i step on my brake my vehicle sounds like it is revving up as in acceleration but still slows down, when i make left had turns i hear a clunk in the steering column and that has not been addressed because apparently there is nothing wrong with it. i am afraid that one day my brakes may fail when i am driving and i have 2 small children to be concerned about. i need this constant problem resolved.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

when braking moderately, the front wheels shimmy and cause the steering wheel to vibrate so badly that you can not hold on to it. could cause loss of control and an accident. it does not happen when braking lightly or hard unless you had already been braking moderately. took vehicle to dealer and was told it was caused by warped rotors and since this was a component of the brake system, it was only covered by warranty for 12 months/12,000 miles. the vehicle had been in service for 17 months and had 19,000 miles on it. this could be a real safety hazard. i would think the warranty would cover the rotors, calipers, and brake lines but not the disk pads or shoes. rotors should not warp in 17 months or 19,000 miles.

(this condition causes a much higher chance of a collision with another stopped car, pedestrian in a crosswalk or a stationary object - like a light post in a parking lot.) sometimes the engine will stop after this and require restarting. one time i observed the "service engine soon" lamp come on for about 5 seconds after the "surge". i had the car in to the dealership (toyota) where i purchased the vehicle concerning the "surging" problem. they checked for service codes (including soft codes) and found none. they were unable to proceed from there and suggested to take the vehicle to a chrysler dealer to continue diagnosis. this will be done at the earliest available time.

the vehicle stalls or runs rough whenever it is raining or high humidity. also the remote starting system acts up by not starting correctly or shutting off at different intervals after it starts. shutting off the engine sometimes after a minute and could stall after several minutes. it is never seems to have a pattern when these symptoms occur with starting with the remote or stalling when driving. the plugs have been replaced as well as the coils being checked on the plugs. the vehicle uses no spark plug wires so these would not apply or be an issue with these problems. this vehicle has done this since it was purchased new and only has 30,000 miles currently on it. it is a 2007 chrysler sebring with a 4 cylinder 2.4 l engine. i has been back to three different dealerships and all of them say it was not included in the recall h07. i do not understand this because according to the letters i copied off your website "all vehicles" had 100% defect that were manufactured from 3/7/06 - 1/24/08. i was never issued a recall letter from chrysler but the car has the same symptoms described in this recall. it now stalls very frequently whenever it is raining or damp outside. is there any way we can get chrysler to look into repairing this issue?

EXTERIOR LIGHTING

highway safety there are millions of autos on the u.s. highways (and around the world), with headlight lenses that are foggy – that is, no longer clear. the result is that the light from the headlights is dispersed more widely and not focused forward, for the driver to see the road ahead. for drivers going in the opposite direction, it results in blinding them. all of this can contribute to increased traffic accidents and deaths. the auto manufacturers have been allowed to get away with this terrible car design far too long. they must be required to use materials for the headlight lenses, that will not pit and abrade over time, thus retaining the clarity of original manufacture. just look around at vehicles on the road. the process of deterioration begins when the vehicle hits the road for the first time. the plastic materials used gradually abrade due to wind, mud, salt, etc., etc. while there are processes that auto owners can use or have performed, to polish the lenses and reasonably restore the original clarity. few do it because they either don’t recognize the problem or do not want to spend the time/money to correct it. if the government can require such safety items as seat belts and air bags, it can require better materials for headlight lenses and save lives. go back to glass – this condition did not develop with the old sealed-beam headlights. glass can be molded to any shape desired. the matter should have been addressed years ago. the nhtsa has been negligent in not doing something about this issue. don’t wait!! while i cannot specify a specific date of an accident or vehicle related to this problem, i have entered below, in order to get this message delivered. as i said just look at cars in your parking lot, even you own vehicle (unless it is only a couple of years old) and you will see what i mean.

i bought my 2007 chrysler sebring back in october 2007 and have had it ever since. however, after the first year , i started having problem with the electronic throttle control light which will come on sometime and never go off unless you stop the car and restart. the electronic throttle control light always come on when i am in heavy highway traffic of when i am driving in the city . 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.therefore when i drive i always make sure i am close to the curb. 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. many other owners of 2007 chrysler sebring have had the same problem. this problem happened to me already more than 30 times, luckily i am a good driver, and with luck i was able to handle the car. i went to pennsylvania this weekend and almost did not make it home. also last night it happened to me twice at 12 am right at the exit of 295 while there was cars behind me and i almost got into an accidents.

my wife drives a 2007 chrysler sebring and on may 25th 2010 when she got in her car to go home from work, she was unable to shift the car out of park. she immediately called me and i looked for information on the web and discovered this was sort of a common problem for chrysler and it was due to a faulty or defective 'shift interlock control system'. on several forums i saw that several sebrings, pt cruisers, and chrysler 300s have had the same or similar issues. we called our local chrysler/dodge dealership, landmark chrysler dodger in morrow, ga and the service center informed us that they see this issue "all the time" and it not only affects the vehicles mentioned above, but it also includes dodge chargers as well. the went on to state that it would cost us approximately $350 to fix the issue. there is no way to disable the system and circuvent the cost of repair, our only option is to pay to have it fixed .

i own a 2007 sebring (vin [xxx]) with approximately 56,700 miles. i purchase the vehicle in nov. 2008 considered new with 29,000 miles from saturn of fremont, ca. the car is driven primarily by my wife to and from work and to drop off and pick up the children. after a recent oil change on may 2, 2010, my family and i noticed an extremely loud engine noise. for the first week after the oil change, the car would start fine but the noise became worse. the engine began to loose pressure while driving on the highway and as of today, will not start at all. i visited a chrysler automall dealership on sommersville road in antioch, ca on saturday may 15. i was told that i would have to pay a 130.00 diagnostic fee as the vehicle was out of warranty. i was under the impression that the vehicle was still under warranty as i was told at the time of purchase that the warranty would be extended to 3 years/60,000 miles. the technician mentioned that the noise was a radiator or fan motor. then i checked the recalls for 2007 sebrings and found two recalls (nhtsa campaign id numbers: 08vi52000 and 07v473000 regarding engine and electrical matters, one of which has the same concern that i have. i called chrysler and spoke to brittany who said my vin did not have any concerns so the company could not help me. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

i have a 2007 chrysler sebring and the gear shifter stopped working. (shift assembly) the shifter will no longer shift out of park by just pressing the break. we tried to reset it but it would not work and also tried other options in the car manual and they didn't work. we took the cover off and tried to find the problem we found that the only way to move into gear is by pressing down the pink button on the left hand side in the downward position while pressing the break and it will go in and out of gear. went to the dodge dealership and they said this is not the first time they have seen this problem in this year model and make. the issue is about $300 to fix, we had this vehicle for less than a year before it happened and the car itself is in great condition. the issue is the shift assembly we have yet to get it fixed because the car was new and is obviously a defect from the manufacturer. the car showed no signs of anything wrong before it happened just went to start it and wouldn't move from the park position.

i went to start up my car for the first time that day and when i tried to put the car in drive the shifter would not shift. at first i thought it was because the e brake was on but once that was removed the shifter still would not go past the "p" icon. i tried pushing the rear of the car to jar it loose, to no effect. the previous day the car drove fine and i had no issues. i eventually had to call a tow truck to pick the car up and take it to a repair shop. they told me that they would have to replace the entire shifter and it cost me $275. i bought the car this year with under 50,000 miles on it. i haven't had any other problem with the car until now. the repair shop replaced the shifter with the exact same shifter from the chrysler corp. i now find myself wondering if the same thing will happen again?

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

multiple issues with this vehicle. the latest one is the most serious. a faulty abs sensor cause the brakes to operate abnormally. the abs light may come on then go off and (periodically goes on and off). regardless of the light status, the abs system randomly engages and does not allow the vehicle to stop in a safe manner. the abs when engaged resists the driver from apply pressure to the brake pedal. the result is the car not stopping. luckily i was going slow and there was no one around other wise there would have been an accident. the abs light came on, resisted my braking force then went off and allow the brakes to engage as anticipated. the roads were normal, dry and free of debris/ loose fill. this happened twice over two days. on the second day i parked the car and let it sit until it's service date. the service department diagnosed a faulty sensor with code c1044. they said it was due to rust. first this is a 2007 car, second if rust on a sensor is going to inhibit normal braking then the part is defective and or the design is defective. i was lucky some one else is not going to be. abs is designed to pump the brakes under certain conditions. i'm sure normal driving at 25 mph on a dry normal surface isn't one of them. even if the abs fails the operator should still be able to stop the car by applying manual force to the brake petal. this failure does not allow effective use of the brakes! second issue is the lights (both interior and exterior dimming) with audible surges in the climate control blower. the dealer says this is due to my remote starter even though this issue has been occurring well before the remote starter was involved. third issue is the rear window repeatedly coming out of track there were other issues with the brakes rotors warping and brake light coming on, gas cap light coming on, tire sensors

the 2007 chrysler sebring touring car was listed in the consumer magazines as having a steering and driving feel issue. it tends to make you over correct left and right. it is very hard to drive and is dangerous to drive on slippery, rain, wet, light snow surfaces. on dry surfaces there is already the issue of trying to go straight without overcorrecting . there a lack of road feel and plenty of body roll like a 1970 or 1980 mercedes . i own a 2007 2.7 touring 6 cylinder chrysler sebring now for 4 years and i have had the same issues from the first day i bought it new. the dealers say they can not find anything wrong with it. why in 2007 the consumer magazine who tested the cars wrote it up as having a bad steering feel that they were uncomfortable with, and they were expert drivers. you can not control this car under safely under normal to light rain and light snow driving conditions. you have to slow down under the highway driving speed of 45mph,which can get you a ticket, on intersection speed of 55-60 mph. i have been driving for over 40 years with a very good driving record. i am surprised that a car like this would be sold to the public using old or outdated technology just for a profit no matter who gets hurt. when the transmission would not come out of park i was sent a recall from chrysler and they fixed no fee. i have had wiring issues bulbs blowing and speedometer lights out so you can not see at night. trouble with fuses and modules to be replaced. i had to at least notify someone on this website . i wasn't aware of this site and i am glad that you guys do the good work that you are doing.

i have a 2007 chrysler sebring touring. i bought it used in june 2010. starting in sep 2010 it started having issues, (i.e., engine shut off at low speed or when gas tank was at 1/4 tank, engine would act as if was going to stall when sitting at a stop sign/light then would lurch forward suddenly, and brake light kept coming on). i had the o2 sensors replaced, engine light went out for a couple weeks and came back on. mechanic then changed wiring harness. this time light was out for about a month or 2 but now will not turn off even though the mechanic couldn't find anything wrong with either the sensors or the wiring harness. now they suggest replacing the engine brain which at this time is financially impossible for me. i took the car to a chrysler dealer shop when the airbag light cam on and i told the guy about all the issues. he pulled up the history and informed me the car's former owner had same shut off issues at 16k miles and had a new engine installed at 20k miles. car is having the same issues that should have been resolved with new engine being put in. i've also had to have the brakes replaced after owning the car less than a year. i'm afraid the car shutting off on me is going to get me killed as i've just nearly missed getting into 2 accidents when the engine has shut off on me.

i have a 2007 chrysler sebring. recently within the last year the car would stall at stop lights and then later this week wouldn't start. towed to the shop once and the vehicle started for the shop and was unable to diagnose the problem. so i drove this car throughout the weekend and had no issues with it. monday morning my wife goes to get in the car and it wouldn't start had to have the car towed back to the shop. this time problem never went away. my shop where i took the vehicle started looking into the problem and found out the fuel pump connector had melted causing the fuel pump to stop working. my concern is that melting wires and connectors right around a fuel source could cause a deadly fire all it needed was a spark for the car to ignite with a child in the back seat. i know many other people have had the same stalling issues and i feel this is something that possibly needs investigated before someone loses their lives for a faulty wiring issue with these cars.

the incident: during fill up at gas station, automatic shut off of the gas pump occurred when tank was full. however, gas overflowed from underneath fill location (above wheel well) and leaked all over ground. this has been happening since the car had 80,000 on the odometer. i have tried different ways of pumping gas into car, all with same result of overflow. this seems to be a common problem.

fuel pump connector melted though at the gas station after a fill up. the car started but immediately stopped. failed to start after that. after a tow the rear seat was removed and the fuel pump connector removed. the connector when removed still contained the pin that should have been molded into the fuel pump. fuel rushed out of the connector, felt very lucky it was gas and not fumes. if the tank had not be full a fire would have been inevitable based on the melted black plastic on the fuel pump. *js

i had been experiencing stalling problems and after ruling out other potential causes, i discovered that the electrical plug connecting on top of the fuel pump was shorted out causing a large hole burned into the sealed plastic top of the pump, when the connection was pulled from it contacts i discovered that it was saturated with fuel. i contacted a mechanic and he stated that this was caused by the fuel pump drawing to many amps therefore causing the small connectors to melt down because of the heat, he advised that this has happened in several sebrings as well as dodge caliber models, at this time chrysler has no recall and the only way to fix this issue is to purchase and install a new fuel pump at a price of nearly 700.00 dollars. the mechanic stated that in time the fuel would have ignited due to the open electrical circuit.

i purchased the vehicle listed above in 2011 at city auto plaza while under warranty. the vehicle served my purpose as it was for work and now school only fuel efficient. about 6 or 7 months ago i began to experience an intermittent problem with vehicle it would crank but not start. i would have the vehicle towed to my local mechanic and not faulty codes were discovered. this happened about three or four times until frustrated i parked the vehicle around the first of february 2013 and used my other vehicle for school. the other day i decided to have the vehicle looked at by another local dealership near my home not the chrysler dealership were purchased my dealing with the dealership folks are not positive or beneficial to me. the mechanic at buddy rays auto care in canon city checked the vehicle and traced the problem to a connection wiring system that was attached to the fuel pump. from their explanation the vehicle was in danger of catching fire if this problem persisted. i contacted my local dealership in an attempt to report this matter and they have not assisted telling me instead that the car had to be in their shop. because of the danger posed by this problem i have had the vehicle repaired at a cost of 765.00 dollars to replace the fuel pump, and wiring connectors plus labor. my concern for this car having less than 100,000 miles in my opinion should not have face this type of malfunction in the fuel and electrical system.

while driving down the highway i lost power to my car. it wouldn't go faster than 25-30 mph even when i floored it. the electronic throttle control light starts blinking on the dash. happened a couple times, about 5-6 months apart, and i found out that if i turned my car off and restarted it would run just fine again. recently began happening whenever i drive for more than about an hour, really dangerous when it happens on the interstate. took it to a mechanic when it first happened and they said that the computer never registered anything and they can't tell what is wrong with it unless it is happening when i bring it in. never happens when i'm near a repair shop though. looked it up online and apparently plenty of other people are having the same problem. fed up with it.

i have a 2007 chrysler sebring limited and when i take my key out of the ignition and open the drivers door it still indicates on the dash that the key is in the ignition, therefore causing my key fobs to not work as well. i cannot set my alarm on my car because the key fobs are not working and i have to sit in the car for 30-60 seconds waiting for the dash to stop indicating the key is still in the ignition so i can lock the car doors. it is a big hassle and inconvenience.

AIR BAGS

in december of 2011 i took my car into moss bros. chrysler of san bernardino due to the air bag light for the drivers seat going on and off. they checked the problem out and determined that when the drivers seat is all the way back that the seat adjuster spring is broke and damaged wiring to the seat track sensor. recommended to replace seat adjuster and wiring. these are the words used by the mechanic as to what the problem is. chrysler was contacted with a request to repair the problem at their cost, and that was denied. i have made contact with chrysler concerning this matter and was told the same thing, that i would have to pay to have this problem repaired. over the last two years the problem has come and gone. now the problem has come back up again. i am in fear of the air bag going off on its own or not operating properly if involved in an accident. i am tired of pursuing this matter with chrysler and finally just gave up. after talking to a mechanic friend of mine he told me to contact your agency to see if you can get me some sort of solution to this problem. right now i am having the air bag light problem daily and am very concerned about my safety and others that may be in my car with me. i do hope that you are able to help me get this problem taken care of. i can not afford to pay the $1000.00 plus dollars that i was quoted for the repair. i am a disabled senior citizen living on just my social security disability and do hope that you will be able to resolve this problem for me. thank you for your time concerning this matter and i do look forward to hearing from you. sincerely, robert rauh

i had no brake lights and the seat belt indicator light kept dinging as well as the tire low indicator. it was all because of the total intergrated power module. it was on back order for five weeks. it cost 750.00 for just the part. i feel chrysler doesn't recall these even after 1000s of complaints because it is to costly. they are making money on the part alone. i will never buy another chrysler over them not doing the right thing. i could've been rear ended over this. it cost me 995 just to get the tipm put in. i still haven't fixed the seat belt dinging or the low tire dinging yet. hate to see how much that will cost. somebody needs to make chrysler do the right thing and issue a recall. safety before anything.
