ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS DRIVING ONE MORNING AND IT WAS RAINING. THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR WOULDN'T ACCELERATE OVER 20 MPH. I CUT THE CAR OFF AND STARTED IT BACK UP AND IT DIDN'T DO IT ANYMORE. UNTIL THE OTHER DAY WHEN EXITING OFF THE INTERSTATE THE CAR LOST SPEED AND THE SAME LIGHT CAME ON. THE RESTARTING TRICK DIDN'T WORK. THE CAR RUNS SHAKY AND IS IDLED UP HIGH WHEN STARTED. THE CAR STILL WON'T ACCELERATE OVER 20MPH. HAD IT DIAGNOSED AND DISCOVERED THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AS WELL AS THE INTAKE MANIFOLD RUNNER VALVE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT OWN THIS CAR 2007/2008 HAVE THIS PROBLEM. WHICH CAN POTENTIALLY BE DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE!

WHEELS
II TOOK MY CAR IN TO HAVE THE TIRES ROTATED AND I WAS TOLD I NEED NEW TIRES. MY TIRES HAVE ONLY 20K MILES AND A 60K MILE WARRANTY. THE TIRE SHOP CALLED FALKEN WAS GIVEN THE RUN AROUND FOR OVER A WEEK BY THE MANUFACTURER. I CONSULTED ONLINE FORUMS AND CHECKED W/ SEVERAL TIRE SHOPS AND WAS TOLD THAT THE FALKEN ZIEX 912'S HAD WEAR PROBLEMS AND THAT FALKEN HAD CUT THE WARRANTY TO 40K MILES AND THEY WOULDN'T SELL THEM. CONSUMER REPORTS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THEM IN 2010 WHICH IS WHY I BOUGHT THEM. MANY PEOPLE ONLINE ONLY HAD THEM LAST A FEW MONTHS AND ONE LADY I RECALL 6 MONTHS AND ALL GOT NO HELD OR RELIEF FROM FALKEN. WHY WEREN'T THESE RECALLED AND PULLED FROM SALE? FALKEN TOLD THE DEALER I WOULD NEED TO BUY NEW TIRES AND THEN THEY'D CONSIDER MAYBE REIMBURSING ME A SMALL AMOUNT. I AM DISABLED ON A FIXED INCOME AND CANNOT DO THIS AND I DO NOT TRUST FALKEN OR THEIR BRAND. I NEED TIRES FOR MY CAR NOW AND DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I AM WRITING TO THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION TO FILE A COMPLAINT AGAINST THE FIAT-CHRYSLER COMPANY. SINCE THE BEGINNING OF FEBRUARY 2015, MY HORN HAS BEEN GOING OFF WHEN MY IS PARKED AT NIGHT TIME, AND THEREFORE MANY COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN REPORTED BY MY NEIGHBORS, WHEN MY HORN AUTOMATICALLY GOES ON DURING THE HOURS OF THE NIGHT, IT IS VERY UPSETTING HAVING TO EXPLAIN MY SITUATION TO THE NEIGHBORS. A TECHNICIAN AT ONE OF THE FIAT-CHRYSLER REPAIR CENTERS DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AND STATED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THE DUE TO A BAD SWITCH THAT CONTROLS THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG AND HORN, AND THAT WOULD COST OVER $1,000 TO REPAIR. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT I WOULD HAVE TO REPAIR IT BECAUSE IT WASN'T RECALL ISSUE. BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT I AM ON PERMANENT DISABILITY AND ON A VERY LOW INCOME, I AM UNABLE TO AFFORD TO REPAIR IT. AFTER REALIZING THAT THERE IS NO LIGHT IN SIGHT, I BEGAN TO RESEARCH AS TO HOW MANY OTHER CONSUMERS/OR CHRYSLER SEBRING OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM AS I AM PRESENTLY EXPERIENCING. I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THERE WERE APPROXIMATELY 52 COMPLAINTS FROM SEBRING CAR OWNERS LISTED IN THE FOLLOWING SITE: HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/CHRYSLER/SEBRING/2006/ACCESSORIES-INTERIOR/HORN_GOES_OFF_BY_ITSELF. SHTML THUS I MUST REQUEST THAT THE NHTSA'S LAUNCH AN INVESTIGATION AGAINST THE FIAT-CHRYSLER COMPANY BY SETTING FORTH A RECALL TO THIS SUBJECT MATTER. I AM REQUESTING A PROMPT REPLY FOR AN IMMEDIATE RESOLUTION TO MY SITUATION, HOPING THE NHTSA CAN TAKE THIS MATTER SERIOUSLY BEFORE FATALITIES DO OCCUR ON MY BEHALF. PLEASE CONTACT ME ON MY EMAIL AT [XXX]@GMAIL.COM OF BY PHONE [XXX]. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).' *JB

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I AM JOINING THE MANY OTHER OWNERS WHO'S HORNS GO OFF, WITH OUT WARNING CAR OFF OR CAR ON. AT THE SAME TIME THE HORN NOW SEEMS TO HAVE STOPPED WORKING ENTIRELY LEAVING ME NO WAY TO WARN OTHER DRIVERS THAT DO NOT SEE ME. I CAN CONFIRM THE COSTIVE A REPAIR IS ON THE $1100 RANGE AND MY LOCAL CHRYSLER REPORTS THEY DO THIS REPAIR 4 TIMES PER WEEK, NATIONWIDE. THIS REPAIR IS OUT OF MY BUDGET AND I THINK CHRYSLER NEEDS TO RECALL AND REPAIR THESE VEHICLES. THE HORN HAS GONE OFF IN STATIONARY, MOTION, ON A CITY STREET AND HIGHWAY AND TURNING. EVEN WITH THE ENGINE SHUT OFF IN THE WEE HOURS OF THE MORNING. BELOW YOU ASK WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN? AT LEAST 20 TIMES. THE HORN SWITCH INDEED INCLUDES THE AIR BAGS. NO WAY TO TEST THEM BUT I FEAR THEY ARE NOT WORKING AS THIS SWITCH IS BAD. I HOPE I DON'T FIND OUT THE HARD WAY.

ABOUT 4:30 PM (RUSH HOUR) ON 20 OCTOBER 2015 I WAS DRIVING SOUTH ON I-95 SOUTH OF WASHINGTON DC WHEN THE HORN SOUNDED CONTINUOUSLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY, SURPRISING ME AND DRIVERS NEAR ME. I WAS GOING STRAIGHT AT ABOUT 60 MPH. IT STOPPED AFTER I FIRMLY DEPRESSED THE HORN PAD TWICE. AFTER I ARRIVED AT HOME THE HORN SOUNDED AGAIN FOR ABOUT 1 MINUTE. THE CAR WAS PARKED WITH THE WHEEL SLIGHTLY TO THE LEFT. I DISCONNECTED THE HORN AND BEGAN RESEARCHING ON LINE.

SUSPENSION, SERVICE BRAKES
I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE LAST DEC,2014.. IT IS A USED VEHICLE THOUGH, ITS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVE WAY APPROX. 2 WEEKS AFTER I BOUGHT IT & THE RIGHT SIDE PASSENGER SIDE THE SUSPENSION, ARM & BALL JOINT JUST FELL OUT.. THE DAY PRIOR TO THIS I HEARD A DEFINITE KNOCK FROM THAT WHEEL BASE. IN FACT WHEN I WAS BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVE, I WAS ON MY WAY TO THE MECHANIC. WELL, BEING STRANDED, I HAD TO CALL A TOW SERVICE TO HAUL IT IN FOR REPAIR.. THEY SAID THEY COULD REPLACE IT,& THE CHARGE FOR THE ASSEMBLY WOULD COST $112.00 PLUS.. HAVING IT REPLACED & REPAIRED. IT IS NOW 10 MONTHS LATER & THE KNOCKING IS BACK & MY CONCERN IS THAT IT WILL FALL OUT WHEN I'M DRIVING CAUSING AN AWFUL ACCIDENT. THIS IS WEAR I STAND NOW W/ THIS ISSUE THAT IS RECORDED UNDER YOUR RECALL DESCRIPTIONS. THANK YOU.. *TR

VISIBILITY/WIPER
PURCHASED VEHICLE USED IN AUGUST 2015, OWNER TOLD US THE WIPERS DID NOT WORK BUT HE HAD THE MOTOR AND WE INSTALLED THE WIPER MOTOR. THIS DID NOT WORK. SO WE RESEARCHED THIS VECHICLE FOR RECALLS AND WE FOUND THAT CHRYSLER HAS HAD A PROBLEM WITH THIS TIPM PART BUT WAS NOT BEING RESPONSIBLE FOR A RECALL. THIS PART COST US $650.00 AND THE WIPERS NOW DO WORK BUT THERE IS A NOISE THAT IS STILL THERE AND SOME OF THE CAUTION LIGHTS DO NOT GO OUT. THE CAR WORKS BUT DO NOT GO THAT FAR IN IT DUE TO THE REVIEWS WE HAD READ ABOUT THIS TIPM PART AND THE ENGINE MAY STOP WORKING.

WHEN CLOSING THE TOP, I HEARD A POP SOUND AND THE ROOF STOPPED. IT WOULD NO LONGER OPEN OR CLOSE BUT WAS STUCK HALFWAY OPEN. THE DECK LID (A TRIM PIECE WITH PLASTIC HINGES) HAD BROKEN AFFECTING THE TOP OPERATION. IT WAS REPAIRED OUT OF POCKET IN 2013. NOW IN 2015, THE SAME PIECE BROKE AGAIN, AGAIN RENDERING THE TOP INOPERABLE. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER ABOUT THE ISSUE AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I LIVE IN PA AND ONLY USE MY TOP ABOUT 3-4 MONTHS OUT OF A YEAR (AND LIMITED AT THAT SINCE I HAVE SMALL CHILDREN IN THE BACK SEAT DAILY) SO THIS BROKEN PIECE WAS NOT EVEN USED MUCH BEFORE IT BROKE FOR A SECOND TIME.
