ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, STEERING
I PURCHASED MY CAR USED 3 YRS AGO. I PAID IF OFF THIS YEAR. THE ONGOING TROUBLESOME ISSUE IS THAT THE CAR STALLS OUT UNEXPECTEDLY- USUALLY DURING WET WEATHER. IT HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 5 TIMES OR SO. BUT, IT HAS ALMOST HAPPENED MANY MORE TIMES...THE CAR SPUTTERS AND JUST ABOUT STALLS OUT. AGAIN, ALL DURING WET WEATHER. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED CAR AFTER THE 1ST INCIDENT. THEY TOOK THE CAR AND SAID I NEEDED A NEW BATTERY ; THAT IT WAS BEING DRAINED WHEN I HAD WIPERS, HEAT, RADIO ETC ALL ON AT ONCE AND THAT WAS WHY IT STALLED. I WENT WITH IT. WELL, IT HAS STALLED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE. ALL WHILE DRIVING AND VERY SCARY. THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT. ANOTHER THING THAT MAY OR MAY NOT BE RELATED...IS THAT THE DASH LIGHTS FLICKER ON AND OFF; ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE. I WILL BE DRIVING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN CAN'T SEE MY SPEEDOMETER OR ANYTHING. I THINK THERE IS DEFINITELY AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. I SEE THAT THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS RELATED TO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. I THINK THEY SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS. *TR

ENGINE, SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
CAR TURNS OFF AUTOMATICALLY AT LOW SPEED. BRAKES LOCK AT THE SAME TIME THIS HAPPENS. I TOOK IT BACK TO DEALER TO GET SERVICED, AND THEY STATED THAT NOTHING WAS FOUND. THE SERVICEMAN DID TELL ME THAT HE CALLED THE CHRYSLER CORP, AND THEY TOLD HIM THEY NEVER HEARD OF ANYTHING LIKE THIS HAPPENING BUT ON A FORUM ON THE INTERNET, THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS OF THIS OCCURRING. I TOLD THE MAN THAT IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND HOW DANGEROUS IT IS, AND HE AGREED WITH ME. THIS MALFUNCTION OCCURRED TWO TIMES ALREADY SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM THE DEALER. FUCCILLO VW 2242 CENTRAL AVENUE, SCHENECTADY, NY 12304 (518) 374-9161. MY NEXT ISSUE IS THAT I NEED SWAY BARS. I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK YESTERDAY DEC 27, 2014, BECAUSE AS I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT, THE LIGHT CHANGED GREEN, THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED GEARS AT THE SAME TIME I ACCELERATED ON THE GAS TO GO AND I HEARD CLICKING FOR ABOUT A MILE. THE NOISE WENT AWAY. I EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM TO THE SERVICEMAN AND I WAS TOLD THAT I NEED SWAY BARS NOW. I JUST PURCHASED THE CAR IN SEPT OF THIS YEAR, AND I'M SO DISAPPOINTED TO ENCOUNTER ALL THESE PROBLEMS. MY EXTENDED WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER THE WORK. I ALSO SAY THAT THIS HAS BEEN WEARING FROM THE PREVIOUS OWNER AND I AM NOT AT FAULT, NOR SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE WORK. I SERIOUSLY DO NOT EVEN WANT THIS CAR ANYMORE, AND I AM PAYING FOR IT MONTHLY FROM A LOAN THEY GAVE ME FROM CAPITAL ONE FINANCING. THIS IS CHAOS, AND HAS EXACERBATED MY ILLNESS OF HAVING MS. I WAS DUPED. PLEASE HELP. *TR

POWER TRAIN
THE CAR WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. THE FIRST OCCURRENCE WAS SEPT. 2013, TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE REPAIR/REPLACEMENT WAS $400. CALLED THE SAME DEALERSHIP TODAY ( DECEMBER 23, 2014) AND THEY WOULD LIKE ME TO BRING IT IN, BUT I DON'T WANT TO PAY ANOTHER $400 TO HAVE IT REPLACED AGAIN BECAUSE THE ONE-YR WARRANTY IS UP BY 3 MONTHS. SO DISAPPOINTED... WHAT A WAY TO SPEND THE CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
CAR PULLED OUT IN FRONT AND HIT THE HORN, WHICH DID NOT WORK, AND NOW COMES ON ONLY INTERMITTENTLY, OR EVEN ON ITS OWN. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE SEBRINGS AND FROM BLOGS SEEMS TO BE DUE TO A FAULTY SWITCH INSIDE THE AIRBAG COVER ON THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS IS A TERRIBLE SAFETY HAZARD AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED. *TR

I RECENTLY GOT PULLED OVER BECAUSE MY HORN KEEPS GOING OF UNCONTROLLABLY! I HAD TO TAKE THE FUSE OUT AND I'VE BEEN PULLED OVER TWICE BECAUSE THE HORN GOES OFF AND DISTRACTS DRIVERS UNINTENTIONALLY. THEY GET MAD AND CALL THE COPS.. THEN ONCE THIS FUSE IS PULLED THE GAS METER GOES CRAZY AND DUMB. IT SAID ONCE WE HAD HALF TANK AND WE RAN OUT AS SOON AS WE PULLED OUT THE DRIVEWAY! THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD!! THIS NEED TO BE RECALLED!! *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN THE OUTSIDE TEMP IS BELOW 40 DEGREES AND I FILL MY 2008 SEBRING CONVERTIBLE WITH GAS, GASOLINE GUSHES AND BLOWS OUT OF MY CAR FILLER TUBE ALL OVER THE PLACE. I HAVE TALKED TO THE CHRYSLER DEALER AND THEY SAY THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS. HOWEVER MY 2008 DODGE NITRO HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AND THERE WAS A RECALL TO FIX IT. I HAVE VIDEO OF THIS HAPPENING. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
HORN GOES OFF BY ITSELF AND CONTINUES TO SOUND, UNTIL POUNDING ON THE STEERING WHEEL CENTER. DEALER SAYS IT IS A BAD HORN SWITCH WHICH IS INTEGRAL WITH THE AIRBAG ASSEMBLY, WHICH IS NOT A COVERED PART WITH EXTENDED WARRANTY AND COSTS >$750. THIS WOULD BE VERY UNSAFE IN A HIGH TRAFFIC SITUATIONS, OR BAD NEIGHBORHOODS. *TR

AIR BAGS
I HAVE BEEN COMMUNICATING WITH CHRYSLER CS ABOUT THE TAKATA AIR-BAG RECALL. CHRYSLER HAS INFORMED ME THAT THEY ARE PLANNING A RECALL IN 4 STATES, ONE OF WHICH IS FLORIDA FOR "REGISTERED" VEHICLES, NO DEFINITE DATES, ETC. MY VEHICLE IS NOT REGISTERED IN FLORIDA BUT IS THERE ABOUT 6 MONTHS A YEAR. BECAUSE IT IS NOT "REGISTERED" IN FLORIDA, CHRYSLER HAS NO PLANS TO INCLUDE IT IN THEIR RECALL. PLEASE FORCE CHRYSLER TO RECALL ALL VEHICLES IN THE US, OR AT LEAST ALL OF THOSE THAT SPEND TIME IN THE AREAS OF GREATEST RISK. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, AIR BAGS
WITH SOOOO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE HORN ISSUE LOCATED IN THE SAME SPOT AS THE AIRBAG NO ONE HAS PUT THE PIECES TOGETHER ABOUT HOWS THIS MAY BE CAUSED BY THE AIRBAG ISSUE. THE HORN ONLY HAS MAJOR ISSUES WHEN THE HUMIDITY IS HIGH. THIS IS THE SAME REASON THE AIRBAGS ARE HAVING ISSUES AND DEPLOYING WITH SHRAPNEL. CAN SOMEONE FIGHT FOR THE CONSUMER HERE THERE IS OVER 70 COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE HORN WHICH THE COMPONENT IS SHARED WITH THE AIRBAG. THIS IS OCCURRING DURING HIGH HUMIDITY MAYBE AS A WARNING SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE COMPONENT HARNESSING THE HORN AND AIRBAG????? OR THE AIRBAG PRESSURE IS TRIGGERING THE HORN BEFORE THE PRESSURE BUILDS TO DEPLOY FOR NO REASON OTHER THAN HUMID WEATHER. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
I WAS CROSSING 4 LANES OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND MY CAR STALLED AND DIED. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME IT HAD HAPPENED SO I WAS UNSURE WHAT TO DO. THANK GOODNESS I PUT MY CAR IN P AND RESTARTED IT IN ENOUGH TIME TO GET OUT OF THE WAY BEFORE I WAS HIT. THIS HAS AGAIN HAPPENED MANY TIMES OVER THE LAST 10+ YEARS OF OWNERSHIP. FUNNILY ENOUGH, AS I PULLED UP TO MY BANK TO MAKE MY FINAL CAR PAYMENT, THE CAR ALSO STALLED. IT WAS TOO IRONIC. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHICH IS SUCH A HASSLE AND OF COURSE, THEY CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG. NOW, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THEN GOES OFF WITH NO APPARENT REASON. PLEASE ISSUE SOME SORT OF RECALL SO NO ONE IS HURT BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
AS I SAT WITH FOOT ON BRAKE AT STOP SIGN, MY CAR HAD SUDDEN ACCELERATION AND MOVED FORWARD. IF A VEHICLE WOULD HAVE BEEN IN FRONT OF ME, I WOULD HAVE HIT IT. AFTER THE ACCELERATION, IT STALLED. THIS IS THE SECOND DAY IN A ROW THIS HAS HAPPENED. BOTH WERE WITH IN A 24 HOUR PERIOD. IT HAS HAPPENED IN THE PAST BUT AT THAT TIME THE CAR WAS IN THE PARK POSITION AND IT WOULD ""REV"" UP FOR NO REASON. *TR
