FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE INCIDENT: DURING FILL UP AT GAS STATION, AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF OF THE GAS PUMP OCCURRED WHEN TANK WAS FULL. HOWEVER, GAS OVERFLOWED FROM UNDERNEATH FILL LOCATION (ABOVE WHEEL WELL) AND LEAKED ALL OVER GROUND. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE THE CAR HAD 80,000 ON THE ODOMETER. I HAVE TRIED DIFFERENT WAYS OF PUMPING GAS INTO CAR, ALL WITH SAME RESULT OF OVERFLOW. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. *TR

I AM HAVING ISSUES WHEN FILLING UP MY TANK WITH GAS. THE PUMP SHUTS OFF AND WHEN I PULL IT OUT A COUPLE OF GALLONS WILL SPRAY OUT. THE SHUT OFF IN THE CAR IS NOT WORKING. I HAVE READ WHERE OTHERS ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE TOO. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
AFTER I RECEIVED WORK DONE ON THE ELECTRICAL-RECALL, MY CAR KEEPS ON STALLING. THIS CAN BE VERY SCARY AND HAS ALMOST CAUSED SEVERAL ACCIDENTS. MY CAR SHOULD NOT BE SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING. I DID NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM UNTIL AFTER THE RECALL WAS FIXED ON MY CAR. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHENEVER I SELF FILL OR AN ATTENDANT FILLS MY VEHICLE WITH GASOLINE IT SPITS BACK +/- 2 CUPS OF GAS AFTER THE PUMP SHUTS OFF EVEN ON THE SLOWEST FILL SPEED. GASOLINE SPILLS ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, GROUND AND ANYONE STANDING NEXT TO THE VEHICLE. THIS IS DEFINITELY A TRUE SAFETY HAZARD TO OWNER AND OR GAS STATION ATTENDANTS HAVING GASOLINE ON THEIR HANDS AND CLOTHES, AND THE ENVIRONMENT FROM THE ESCAPED FUMES, AND DEFINITELY A POTENTIAL FOR FIRE FROM POOLED SPILLED GASOLINE ON THE GROUND. I HAVE ALSO HEARD FROM ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL WITH A 2008 SEBRING CONVERTIBLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS:UNDERBODY SHIELDS, SUSPENSION
ON MY 2004 CHRYSLER SEBRING TOURING CONV., WHILE PARKED I OBSERVED THE PASSENGER REAR TIRE LEANING OUT AT THE BOTTOM AND LEANING IN AT THE TOP OF THE TIRE. IT WAS VERY NOTICEABLE THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG. I DROPPED THE CROSSMEMBER FRAME FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE AND FOUND OUT THAT BOTH BOLTS WERE BROKE OFF ON THE PASSENGER REAR UPPER CONTROL ARM. FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO REMOVE THE BROKEN BOLTS PIECES WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY WAS MAKING A LOUD KNOCKING SOUNDS WHILE INCREASING SPEED, THEN SOUND WOULD GO AWAY. TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP AN THEY STATED I DIDN'T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR. JUNE 2011, MY CAR STARTED STALLING WHILE AT STOP LIGHT, NOW MY CAR IS WANTING TO STALL WHILE I'M DRIVING AROUND 50MPH. DASH LIGHTS ALSO FLICKER ON AND OFF. CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP STATES THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR SINCE IT'S NOT GIVING THEM CODES BUT RECOMMEND I REPLACE THE ENGINE. I'VE BEEN READING REVIEWS OF THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR COMPANY AND THERE CARS. HOW ARE THEY NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL THESE MOTORS PEOPLE ARE HAVING TO REPLACE, I THINK THEY SHOULD HAVE TO FIX THESE PROBLEMS AN NOT GET AWAY WITH IT. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:HORN, AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
HORN STARTED GOING OFF BY ITSELF ON MY RIDE TO WORK ON A VERY COLD MORNING. HAS GONE ON SEVERAL OTHER TIMES SINCE WHILE DRIVING. HORN REMAINS ON FOR SEVERAL MINUTES EACH TIME UNTIL I CAN SAFELY PULL TO THE SIDE AND HIT THE HORN AREA OF THE STEARING WHEL WITH A HAMMER TO GET IT TO TURN OFF. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE, THE HORN DOESNT WORK PROPERLY WHEN I NEED IT TO AND IT TURNS ON ON ITS OWN WHEN I DONT NEED IT TO CAUZING A DRIVING HAZARD FOR MYSELF AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. FROM MY RESEARCH I HAVE SEEN THAT PULLING THE FUSE WILL ALSO DISABLE TO AIRBAG CREATING A DOUBLE SAFETY ISSUE. THIS SHOULD ABSOLUTELY BE RECALLED BY CHRYSLER AS THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON SAFETY ISSUE IN MANY OF THEIR MAKES, MODELS AND YEARS. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FILLING THE VEHICLE WITH GAS, THE GAS SPRAYS BACK OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE AFTER THE AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF OF THE GAS STATION PUMP. I WOULD ESTIMATE ONE TO TWO CUPS OF GASOLINE SPRAY OUT ONTO THE PUMP HANDLE, THE SIDE OF THE CAR, MY CLOTHES, AND THE DRIVE. THIS IS A FORCEFUL SPRAY. THIS HAPPENS ON THE INITIAL SHUT-OFF OF THE PUMP, UNRELATED TO TOPPING OFF THE TANK. THIS STARTED AROUND DECEMBER OF 2011 AND HAPPENS AT ALL GAS STATIONS. THERE IS NO NOTICEABLE SLOPE TO THE DRIVES AT THESE GAS STATIONS AND IT DOES NOT MATTER WHICH SPEED I USE ON THE PUMP. IT WILL HAPPEN IF I USE THE SLOWEST SPEED OR IF I SET THE PUMP HANDLE TO FULL SPEED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE! I SEE OTHERS ONLINE WITH THE SAME COMPLAINTS IN CHRYSLER VEHICLES. WHAT CAN I DO? *TR

SUSPENSION, STEERING, WHEELS
ON FEBRUARY 14 2012 SOMETHING ON MY LEFT DRIVER SIDE WHEEL BROKE, I COULD NO LONG STEER AND THE WHEEL LAID OUTWARD TOWARD THE GROUND. THERE IS A LONG ARM LIKE PART, THAT WAS LITERALLY HANGING OFF THE WHEEL. IT IS NOW UNOPERABLE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I AM SO GLAD I WAS ONLY GOING ABOUT 30 MPH DUE TO TRAFFIC, I WAS ABLE TO MOVE TO THE SHOULDER WITHOUT A AUTO ACCIDENT. *TR

VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I PURCHASED MY SEBRING IN MAY OF 2007 & THE REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER CONTACT KEEPS BREAKING OFF FROM THE WINDOW AND THEREFORE DOESN'T HEAT THE REAR WINDOW FOR ICE REMOVAL. I DON'T REMEMBER EXACTLY WHEN THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS BUT IT WAS WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR OF PURCHASE. IT HAS BEEN REPAIRED 3 TIMES BY EITHER SOLDER OR GLUE. THIS WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. ON THE 3RD REPAIR MY REAR WINDOW SHATTERED ON 12/24/10 (I MIGHT ADD IT WAS SNOWING!). I CONTACTED MY INSURANCE COMPANY & WAS ADVISED TO BRING THE CAR TO A CAR REPAIR FACILITY (WHO MY INSURANCE COMPANY DEALS WITH) WHO SPECIALIZED IN THE REPAIRING OF CONVERTIBLE TOPS. A NEW REAR WINDOW WAS ORDERED & THE REPLACED. AGAIN! THE CONTACT HAS BROKEN OFF FROM THE WINDOW & AGAIN! I AM LEFT WITHOUT A WORKING REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER! I FIND THIS TO BE A SOMEWHAT DANGEROUS SITUATION AS CONVERTIBLE TOPS LACK A FULL REAR VIEW & HAVING NO WAY OF DEFOGGING MY REAR WINDOW LEAVES ME AT A DISADVANTAGE. THE PROBLEM TO ME, SEEMS TO BE THAT THE ELECTRICAL WIRING FROM CONTACT TO WINDOW IS TOO SHORT & THEREFORE BREAKS FROM THE CONTACT. I DON'T KNOW IF ANY OTHER SEBRING CONV. OWNERS HAVE THIS PROBLEM AS I HAVE NOT SEEN THIS ON ANY PROBLEM REPORTS BUT I CAN TELL YOU THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING & I WOULD LOVE THE CHRYSLER COMPANY TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. I DON'T FEEL I SHOULD GO THROUGH MY INSURANCE COMPANY FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF A NEW REAR WINDOW AS THIS IS AN INCONVENIENCE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES PEDAL THE CAR WILL COME TO A STOP, BUT THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD SHAKE. TOOK THE CAR TO A CHRYSLER DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN SAID THAT THE FRONT ROTOR WERE WARPED, HE RECOMMEND THAT THEY CUT THE ROTOR AND THAT WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. IT FIX THE PROBLEM, BUT AFTER 6000 MILE LATER THE PROBLEM RETURN. I REPLACE THE FRONT ROTOR AND THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY. IT COST ME $250. 00. THIS PROBLEM WAS NOT COVER BY THE WARRANTY. *TR
