AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
HORN STARED GOING OFF ON ITS OWN, WHILE DRIVING OR JUST SITTING, THEN THE TRANSMISSION STARTED LAGGING, RPMS DROP WHILE I'M DRIVING AND AM UNABLE TO GET BACK UP TO SPEED FOR A MINUTE. I DRIVE ON THE INTERSTATE DAILY FOR WORK AND BOTH OF THESE ARE A HUGE HAZARD FOR ME AND OTHER DRIVERS. I ASSUME THE PROBLEMS ARE RELATED BEING AS THEY BOTH WENT CRAZY AT THE SAME TIME. WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE TO WORK MY CAR JUST SORT OF DIED WITHOUT DIEING THE RPMS DROPPED AND THE CAR TRIED TO DIE BUT DIIDNT. THE GAS PED STOPPED WORKING WHILE THIS WAS OCCURING AND I WAS UNABLE TO GET BACK UP TO SPEED. IT EVENTUALLY KICKED OUT OF IT BUT DID IT AGAIN THE FOLLOWING WEEK, DRIVING OUT OF MY PARKING LOT AT WORK RPMS DROPPED AND WAS UNABLE TO USE MY GAS PED. I GOTIT AGAIN TO GET OUT OF IT BUT ALL ITS GOING TO TAKE IS THIS HAPPENING AND A CAR BEHIND ME AND AND ACCIDENT WILL HAPPEN

I RAN MY VIN TO SEARCH FOR ANY RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE I PURCHASED LAST YEAR AND THE DESCRIPTION FOR MY VIN COMES UP AS A 2008 CHRYSLER 200, BUT MY CAR IS A 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING. IF A VIN IS A UNIQUE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER FOR EACH CAR WHAT DOES TL IT MEAN THAT THE DESCRIPTION DOESN'T MATCH MY CAR?

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.

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.
