ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I PURCHASED THIS CAR NEW AS A CHRISTMAS GIFT FOR MY WIFE IN 2004. SHE HAD INFORMED ME A COUPLE OF TIMES PRIOR TO THE REPORTED DATE THAT SHE'D EXPERIENCED THE CAR FAILING TO START WHEN SHE TURNED THE SWITCH. SHE STATED WHEN SHE TURNED THE IGNITION TO START THE CAR NOTHING WOULD HAPPEN-- THE CAR WOULD JUST BE SILENT. AFTER RETURNING THE KEY TO THE START POSITION AGAIN AND ATTEMPTING TO START IT-- THE CAR WOULD START. IT HAS ALSO HAPPENED TO ME ON A FEW OCCASIONS. THE PROBLEM WAS NEVER LOCATED. WE JUST CONTINUE TO USE IT AS IS. OVER THE YEARS WE HAVE EXPERIENCED OTHER ELECTRICAL RELATED ISSUES-- NONE HAVING BEE RESOLVED. FIRST THE CAR LIGHTERS STOPPED WORKING. I HAD THEM REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES BUT THEY CONTINUED TO SHORT OUT. THE FUSE (UNDER THE DASH FOR THE LIGHTERS) JUST BLOWS OUT (LITERALLY TOSSES OUT) ANY FUSE YOU PUT IN IT. SO IT TOO IS NO LONGER IN USE. WE HAVE A PROBLEM WITH A TAIL LIGHT THAT KEEPS BLOWING OUT. WE KEEP REPLACING IT BECAUSE IT ONLY LAST ABOUT THREE MONTHS AT A TIME. MEANWHILE THE OTHER TAIL LIGHT HAS NEVER HAD TO BE REPLACED-- IT WORKS JUST FINE! THE SUN HAS NOW NOW WARPED THE DASH BOARD AND IT HAS BEGAN TO BUCKLE. IT'S A 2004 NOT A 1954! I'VE NEVER SEEN A CAR WITH THESE NUMEROUS PROBLEMS. WE HAVE A 1996 HONDA CIVIC IT LOOKS GOOD, RUNS GREAT, AND IS ALL ORIGINAL, AND WE'VE CARED FOR IT JUST AS WE DO THIS SEBRING. WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH THIS PIECE OF JUNK??? THAT'S WHY MOST PEOPLE NO LONGER BUY AMERICAN CARS ANYMORE... THEY ARE POORLY MADE. WE'D LIKE TO GET A NEW CAR; BUT ARE NEARING OUR RETIREMENT YEARS AND DO NOT NEED THE DEBT. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE A MECHANIC WAS WORKING ON MY CAR HE NOTICED THAT A WIRING HARNESS WAS FUSED TOGETHER, AND THE FAN WAS NOT WORKING. I GOT ON LINE AND FOUND THAT IN NOVEMBER 2007 THERE WAS A RECALL (G39) AND IT WAS PERFORMED ON MY CAR( I PURCHASED MY CAR NEW IN FEBRUARY 2007). THERE WAS NO INDICATION MY CAR WAS RUNNING HOT, BUT, IT OBVIOUSLY COULD HAVE CAUGHT FIRE . THE WIRES WERE ARCING. I IMMEDIATELY GOT AN APPT WITH A DEALER ON 11/18 AND THIS TIME THE FOLLOWING PARTS WERE REPLACED: JUMPER RA 08015002, MOTOR RAD 08034280 AND SHROUD 07008002 FREE OF CHARGE .THE ORIGINAL RECALL WAS CALLED G39. THE ORIGINAL RECALL ONLY INSTALLED A FAN MOTOR OVERLAY HARNESS. THE ORIGINAL RECALL OBVIOUSLY DID NOT CORRECT THE ORIGINAL PROBLEM. BUT IT TOOK 7 YEARS TO HAPPEN AGAIN. *TR

TIRES:VALVE
LOVE MY CHRYSLER CARS, YES, I HAVE TWO. THE STEM VALVES/SENSORS HAVE BEEN BREAKING OFF OF OUR 2007 MODEL SEBRING. JUST WANTED TO NOTE THIS IN THE DATABASE. HAD SECOND STEM VALVE/SENSOR BREAK THIS WEEK OF NOVEMBER 9TH, 2014 AND WHILE IT WAS GETTING FIXED, I HAD THE CAR REPAIR SHOP CHECK TIRE PRESSURE ON THE OTHER TIRES AND ANOTHER STEM VALVE/SENSOR SNAPPED OFF. THESE ARE NOT CHEAP TO FIX. THAT'S THREE SO FAR, TWO WITHIN DAYS OF EACH OTHER. I PLAN ON GETTING THE LAST STEM VALVE/SENSOR REPLACED SOON AS WHEN THIS HAPPENS, YOU HAVE ONLY FEET BEFORE YOUR TIRE IS COMPLETELY OUT OF AIR. HOPING CHRYSLER WILL POSSIBLY REPAIR WITH BETTER PARTS OR CHANGE IN HOW THEY'RE MADE. I BELIEVE THIS HAS ALREADY HAPPENED BUT JUST RECENTLY. WOULD LOVE TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THESE PARTS BUT I'M NOT HOLDING MY BREATH. THANK YOU. *TR

AIR BAGS
I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE FROM A LOCAL DEALER AND SHORTLY AFTER THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON INTERMITTENTLY. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERS NUMEROUS TIMES FOR REPAIR. TO THIS DAY THE AIR LIGHT STILL COMES ON. THE LAST TIME I SPOKE TO THE DEALER ABOUT IT THEY SAID THEY REPAIRED IT AND IT WAS TO LONG AGO TO BE UNDER WARRANTY. I EXPLAINED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS NEVER RESOLVED BECAUSE EVERY TIME THEY ATTEMPTED TO FIX THE PROBLEM THE LIGHT WOULD ALWAYS COME BACK ON. SOMETIMES IT WOULD BE OFF FOR DAYS TO MONTHS BUT IT ALWAYS COMES BACK ON. THEY REFUSED TO LOOK AT IT AGAIN WITHOUT CHARGING ME A DIAGNOSTIC CHARGE. *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THIS CAR SHOULD HAVE HAD A RECALL FOR THE BAD SUSPENSION AND FOR THE HORN. FIRST OF ALL I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN EARLY FEBRUARY 2007 FROM THE DEALER IT WAS A CERTIFIED USED 2006 CHRYSLER SEBRING TOURING. FROM THE START THE HORN WOULD BLOW AT ANY GIVEN TIME. SECONDLY I HAVE REPLACED EVERY SUSPENSION PART FROM BALL JOINTS, LOWER &UPPER CONTROL ARMS, INNER &OUTER TIE RODS AND ON AND ON. I HAVE FRIENDS THAT HAVE THE SAME MODEL CAR AND THEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS. THAT'S NOT INCLUDING THE WHEEL BEARING, WATER FLANGE, OIL PRESSURE SENSOR.

CAR HAS 50,000 MILES ON IT. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR YEARS. THE IGNITION SWITCH STICKS WHEN CAR IS STARTED AND YOU HAVE TO MANUALLY TURN IT BACK TO ON SO STARTER WILL DISENGAGE. WHEN I HEARD OF RECALL RECENTLY ON OTHER MODELS I WAS SURPRISED THIS CAR HADN'T BEEN INCLUDED. *TR

MY AIRBAG LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON DEPENDING ON THE POSITION OF THE PASSENGER SEAT. IT CAME ON THE BEGINNING OF THE MONTH AND I TOOK IT TO THE USED CAR PLACE I BOUGHT IT FROM AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING THERE SO I TOOK IT HOME AND WAS PLAYING WITH THE SEAT AND IF THE SEAT IS PUSHED BACK THE LIGHT GOES ON BUT IF IT IS FORWARD THE LIGHT COMES ON. SOMETIMES IT TAKES A MINUTE OR YOU WILL START DRIVING AND IT POPS ON. WHAT SHOULD I DO? *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF ENTERING A HIGHWAY FROM A DRIVEWAY. I HIT THE GAS PEDAL AND THE CAR TOOK OFF UNCONTROLLABLY ACROSS THE HIGHWAY, ACROSS LANES OF TRAFFIC, WENT UP AN EMBANKMENT AND THEN BACK DOWN WHERE THE CAR SHUT OFF. I HAD NOT DRIVEN THE CAR SINCE THE ACCIDENT, BUT WHEN I PICKED UP THE VEHICLE AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CONVERTIBLE ROOF HAD BEEN WORKED ON, I NOTICED THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE INDICATOR LIGHT WAS "ON". THIS MAY THE REASON IT ACCELERATED UNCONTROLLABLY. *TR
