POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I STARTED HAVING ERRACTIC SHIFTING, CODES CAME BACK AS PO755, P0700, P0716, P1607. THIS VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION WILL NOT SHIFT. I HAVE TAKEN TO NUMEROUS SHOPS HALF OF THEM SAY IT THE PCM THE OTHER SAY IT NEEDS A TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT. I HAVE HAD THE SHIFT SOLENOID B REPLACED BY DEALERSHIP ONLY FOR THEM TO CHARGE ME THEN TELL ME IT NEED A TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WILL STILL DRIVE FORWARD AND BACKWARD BUT WILL NOT SHIFT GEARS AT ALL. LOSSES ACCELERATION EVERY SO OFTEN THEN HARSELY GOES BACK INTO GEAR WHILE IN MOTION. RPM IS VERY HIGH BUT WILL STILL DRIVE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND THE HORN BEGAN CHIRPING RANDOMLY OVER THE COURSE OF ABOUT 30 MINUTES. AFTER 30 MINUTES OF RANDOM "CHIRPS" THE HORN ENGAGED AND DID NOT STOP. THIS WAS WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. THE HORN STILL BLEW. I OPENED UP THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND TAPPED THE FUSE BOX/RELAYS AND THE HORN STOPPED. I'VE READ ONLINE THAT MULTIPLE OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE AND I WOULD LIKE THE NHTSA TO INVESTIGATE. THIS POSES A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY RISK FOR MYSELF AND THOSE AROUND ME. ALSO, THE HORN NO LONGER WORKS FROM THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN DEPRESSED.

POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER SEBRING. WHILE DRIVING HIGHWAYS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND RECOMMENDED THE CONTACT TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 113,000. *TT CONSUMER STATED SHE WAS ON HER WAY HOME FROM WORK, SHE ENTERED I-75 SOUTH BOUND IN BIRCH RUN, MI. I WAS PICKING UP SPEED, THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. I COASTED ALONG UNTIL THE CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. IT WAS SCARY! I HAD NO WARNING TO ALERT ME THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH CAR. I WOULD HOPE THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION WILL HELP TO FIGURE OUT, WHY THIS HAPPENED. UPDATED 10/15/18*JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
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.

DASHBOARD WAS DIM WITH AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT ALWAYS ON WHEN PURCHASED. THE PROBLEMS STARTED WITH DASHBOARD LIGHTS GOING IN AND OUT AND THE WIPERS NOT WORKING PROPERLY AROUND NOVEMBER OF LAST YEAR. WAS TOLD FUSES NEEDED TO BE CHANGED, SO THEY WERE. SAME ISSUE. THEN 3 MONTHS AGO TAILLIGHT BULB WENT OUT, CHANGED IT AND THE TAILLIGHTS HAVE NOT WORKED SINCE. WAS TOLD IT HAS TO BE TAKEN TO DEALER AUTHORIZED SHOP FOR ELECTRICAL BOX REPAIR AFTER TAKING CAR TO THREE DIFFERENT SHOPS WHO ALL SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND THE ISSUE.

THE BATTERY LIGHT, LIGHTNING BOLT SYMBOL AND AIRBAG LIGHTS ALL SHOW ON DASH AND WILL NOT GO OFF.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE AS IS IN FEBRUARY OF THIS YEAR. THE CONVERTIBLE TOP GETS STUCK IN THE UP POSITION AND DOESN'T GO BACK DOWN. I CANNOT SEE OTU OF THE REAR VIEW AND OBVIOUSLY CANNOT OPERATE THE VEHICLE SAFELY. I CONTACTED A DEALERSHIP AND CHRYSLER AND BOTH TOLD ME THE RECALL HAD BEEN ADDRESSED IN 2008 (THEY LLOOKED IT UP BY VIN). HOWEVER, IT OBVIOUSLY WASN'T SINCE THE TOP IS STILL STICKING. THEY BASICALLY TOLD ME TOO BAD. HOWEVER, THEY WERE UNABLE TO TELL ME WHICH DEALERSHIP HAD MARKED IT AS A COMPLETED AND REPAIRED RECALL WHICH IS STRANGE. I WOULD LIKE IT FIXED ASAP SINCE I CANNOT OPERATE THE VEHICLE WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO SEE OUT THE REAR WINDSHIELD! IT WAS IN A PARKING LOT WHEN THIS HAPPENED.
