ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I'VE WRITTEN TO YOU PEOPLE BEFORE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND A GIRL CALLED BACK AND SAID SHE'D CALL AGAIN BECAUSE YOU PEOPLE ARE SO BUSY. I NEVER HEARD ANOTHER WORD AND THAT WAS LAST FALL. THE HORN BUTTON IN THE STEERING WHEEL HAS STOPPED WORKING AND IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO NOT HAVE A HORN TO WARN PEOPLE. IT HAS COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING AT ALL TIMES.

SUSPENSION
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AND THE CONTROL ARM SNAPPED CAUSING ME TO LOSE CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE. I HAD IT TOWED TO MECHANIC. THE CONTROL ARMS AND SOME OTHER PARTS WERE REPLACED. USING MY CARS VIN THERE IS NOT A RECALL BUT ON THIS WEBSITE THERE IS A RECALL FOR SAME YEAR MAKE AND MODEL FOR THE SAME REASON. I CALLED CHRYSLER 800-992-1997 AND SPOKE WITH MICAH AND SHE EXPLAINED THAT SHE DOES NOT EVEN SEE THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON 2004 CHRYSLER SEBRINGS CASE# 28647014. BUT HERE IS THE WEBSITE I FOUND IT ON: HTTP://WWW-ODI.NHTSA.DOT.GOV/OWNERS/SEARCHRESULTS;JSESSIONID=K261WQCJKJ69RSYYTT48WFRRMDTB80YQJLP8JVCGTQRGPTDR0MQY!-721696947?PRODTYPE=V&SEARCHTYPE=PROD&TARGETCATEGORY=A&SEARCHCRITERIA.MODEL=SEBRING+SEDAN&STATS=774853%2C1%2C0%2C8%2C0%2CSEBRING+SEDAN&MAKESTATS=&JSONBASEURL=%2FDOWNLOADS%2FFOLDERS%2F&SEARCHCRITERIA.MODEL_YR=2004&SEARCHCRITERIA.MAKE=CHRYSLER&SEARCHCRITERIA.PROD_IDS=774853

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
INTERIOR DASH LIGHTS FLICKER ON AND OFF AT NIGHT, SOMETIMES REMAING OFF. AS SUCH, SPEEDOMETER ISN'T ILLUMINATED, AS WELL AS OTHER GUAGES. I GOOGLED THIS CONDITION AND BY THE RESPONSES I SAW, THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM IN THE CHRYSLER SEBRING AND THERE SHOULD BE AN IMMEDIATE RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT FROM DIVERTING ATTENTION FROM THE ROAD TO THE DASH SITUATION. THIS HAPPENS IF THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED, MOVING, TURNING, ON A CITY STREET AND IN HIGHWAY CONDITIONS. IT HAPPENS WHEN TRAVELING ON SMOOTH PAVEMENT OR ROUGHER CONDITIONS. THE VEHICLE IS IN LIKE NEW CONDITION AND HAS NEVER BEEN WRECKED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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. YOU CAN CONTACT ME AT THIS EMAIL OR CALL ME AT [XXX] THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE HORN GOES OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THE FIRST TIME IS HAPPENED WAS A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO WHILE DRIVING DOWN A CITY STREET AT 6:10AM (TAKING MY CHILD TO SCHOOL). THE HORN WENT OFF A VARIOUS TIMES (WHILE DRIVING DOWN MAJOR CITY STREETS) FOR A FEW DAYS. ON SATURDAY 1/2/16 I STARTED (IN MY DRIVEWAY) THE CAR AND THE HORN WENT OFF. I PUSHED THE STEERING WHEEL THE HORN STAYED ON, NEXT I PUSHED THE PANIC BUTTON, IT STAYED ON UNTIL I PUSHED THE PANIC BUTTON A SECOND TIME ABOUT 2 MINUTES LATER. THEN ON THE SAME DAY WHILE DRIVING ON A (MAIN CITY STREET) THE HORN WENT OFF FOUR TIMES WITHIN FIVE MINUTES. HOWEVER, EACH TIME IT THE HORN TURNED OFF WHEN I PUSHED THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS MORNING 1/4/16 THE HORN WENT OFF SEVERAL TIMES BACK TO BACK FOR ABOUT A MINUTE, ONLY TURNING OFF WHEN I PUSHED THE STEERING WHEEL. DID A GOOGLE SEARCH AND FOUND 57 COMPLAINTS (COMPLAINT.COM) ABOUT THE SAME HORN PROBLEM. SUGGESTED I ADD MY VOICE TO WHAT IS CLEARLY A PROBLEM.
