ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE A 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING LIMITED AND WHEN I TAKE MY KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION AND OPEN THE DRIVERS DOOR IT STILL INDICATES ON THE DASH THAT THE KEY IS IN THE IGNITION, THEREFORE CAUSING MY KEY FOBS TO NOT WORK AS WELL. I CANNOT SET MY ALARM ON MY CAR BECAUSE THE KEY FOBS ARE NOT WORKING AND I HAVE TO SIT IN THE CAR FOR 30-60 SECONDS WAITING FOR THE DASH TO STOP INDICATING THE KEY IS STILL IN THE IGNITION SO I CAN LOCK THE CAR DOORS. IT IS A BIG HASSLE AND INCONVENIENCE. *TR

WHEELS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES
I CAN REMEMBER ALL OF THE DATES THAT THESE PROBLEMS OCCURRED BUT, I DID HAVE AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE AND THEY DID HAVE A TOTE TRUCK TO TAKE MY CAR TO A BODY SHOP. THIS BEEN REPAIRED SOME TIME THREE TO FOUR TIME A YEAR. I KEEP GOING TO GET THIS REPAIRED. I BOUGHT TWO CARS SAME MAKE AND MODEL AND EVERYTHING ON BOTH CARS BEEN REPAIRED AND ITS NOT BECAUSE OF AN AUTOMOBILE INCIDENT ITS BECAUSE OF THE BARRON BEEN COMING APARTS. I HAVE BOUGHT A NEW MOTOR ON BOTH CARS. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT. PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH BOTH CARS. I AM SO AFRAID OF THESE CARS BECAUSE I BOUGHT THEM NEW AND I KNOW I BOUGHT A NEW ENGINE. *TR

AIR BAGS
AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AS I WAS PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT. TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL, IT MADE A BIT OF A CRUNCHING SOUND. LIGHT STAYED ON; SOUND HAPPENED WHENEVER STEERTING WHEEL TURNED. CALLED MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AS THE AIR BAG MAY DEPLOY. FURTHER DIAGNOSTIC REVEALED THE NEED FOR A REPLACEMENT CLOCK SPRING FOR THE AIR BAG WHICH IS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR BUT THE CAR WAS DEEMED TOO UNSAFE TO DRIVE AS IT IS. SOME TIME BACK, I WAS HEARING A SQUEAKING WHILE TURNING THE WHEELS VERY SLOWLY AND THOUGHT IT WAS A TIRE ISSUE, BUT NOTHING APPEARED TO BE A PROBLEM THERE. *JS

AIR BAGS
THERE WAS NO INCIDENT, BUT I'M TRYING TO FIND OUT WHY CHRYSLER STOPPED THE RECALL FOR FAULTY AIR BAGS (FRONT SEAT SENSORS?) ON THE 2008. I HAVE A 2009 THAT THE AIR BAG LIGHT KEEPS ILLUMINATING AND BEEPING. I CALLED CHRYSLER, AND THEY WERE VERY RUDE SAYING THAT THE RECALL DOES NOT APPLY TO MY 2009, AND WANTED ALOT OF MONEY FOR ME TO BRING IT IN FOR A DIAGNOSIS. I FEEL THIS IS WRONG. IF THE 2008'S WERE FAULTY, THEN THERE'S A GOOD CHANCE THAT THE 2009'S ARE ALSO. I HAVE ONLY OWNED THIS CAR FOR 3 MONTHS, AND HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT TROUBLE WITH IT! *JS

SUSPENSION
COMING TO A STOP AND TURNING RIGHT. NOISE AND WHEEL JUST FELL FLAT ON ROADWAY. LOWER BALL JOINT DISCONNEDTED AND MADE STEERING IMPOSSIBLE AND CAR UNCONTROLLABLE. AFTER REPAIR ABOUT 6 MONTHS LATER THE SAM WHEEL TOP BALL JOINT DISCONNECTED AND NEARLY RESULTED IN A ACCIDENT ON A BUSY STREET. THE MECHANIC WHO REPAIRED ALSO CHECKED THE DRIVER SIDE BALL JOINTS AND I WAS TOLD THEY WERE WITHIN SPECS. IN MAY OF 2014 WHILE DRIVING AROUND 50 MILES AN HOUR THE BOTTOM BALLJOINT ON THE DRIVER SIDE DISENGAGED AND THE STEERING WAS LOST AND THE TIRE FELL FLAT AND NEARLY CAUSE A HEAD ON CRASH. I HAVE HAD MANY CARS AND DIVEN FOR YEARS AND THIS HAS NEVR HAPPENED IN MY LIFE. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THESE VEHICLES ASAP. SOME RESEARCH INDICATES THAT THE CASTING ON THE BALL JOINT RING WERE HEAT TREATED IMPROPERLY AND CHRYSLER IT AWARE THAT THIS COULD HAVE AND RESULT IN TH WHELL SEPARATION FROM THE CONTROL ARM LEADING TO STEERING LOST TO THE VEHILE AND DANGER TO THE OCCUPANTS.. *TR

POWER TRAIN
FIRST TIME ANYTHING HAPPENED - HOTOIL WARNING, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND A WEIRD TEMP LIGHT CAME ON - BUT ALL GAUGES WERE FINE AND CAR WAS DRIVING FINE. TOOK IT TO A COUPLE DIFFERENT PLACES TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC RUN ON THE CAR. CODES CAME BACK THAT THE ECM AND TCM WERE NOT COMMUNICATING. SYSTEM WAS RESET AND CAR WAS FINE. A FEW WEEKS LATER SAME THING. MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING AND IT ALSO QUIT SHIFTING. AT A STOPLIGHT WE FELT A CLUNK AS IT SLIPPED INTO GEAR LIGHTS WENT OUT AND EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE. ABOUT A WEEK AGO - SAME THING HAPPENED, TOOK IT TO CHRYSLER GARAGE AND FOR $100.00 RAN A DIAGNOSTIC AND TOLD US THAT THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE WAS DEFECTIVE. THEY UPDATED THE COMPUTER AND IT SEEMED TO WORK FINE. TONIGHT (ONLY A WEEK SINCE IT WAS UPDATED) ALL OF THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON AND IT HAS QUIT SHIFTING. I AM GOING TO HAVE TO GO BACK TO CHRYSLER FOR A $3000.00 + REPLACEMENT OF THE ENTIRE PCM (POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE IS THE MAIN COMPUTER SYSTEM IN THE CAR) I HAVE A WARRANTY ON THE POWERTRAIN - BUT OF COURSE THIS PART IS NOT COVERED - EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE. IT SEEMS ODD TO ME THAT THE 2009 SEBRING HAD A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT PART AND SO DID THE 2011, BUT NOT THE 2010. STRANGE -- AND I CAN HONESTLY SAY I HATE CHRYSLER --- TOTALLY RUDE AND UNCONCERNED ABOUT THE FINANCIAL BURDEN THIS WILL CAUSE MY FAMILY --- IF THE PCM IS REQUIRED FOR THE POWERTRAIN TO FUNCTION PROPERLY - IT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED PART OF THE POWERTRAIN AND SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. ALSO I WOULD BE VERY INTERESTED TO KNOW WHY THE 2010 IS NOT BEING RECALLED FOR THE SAME PART AS THE 2009 AND 2011. *TR

AIR BAGS
AIR BAG SENSOR WILL NOT TURN OFF. IT STAYS ON WHILE I AM DRIVING AND WHILE THE CAR IS AT REST. IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR ALMOST TWO WEEKS. I KNOW THAT IT IS NOT THE WEIGHT BECAUSE I DO NOT HAVE ANYONE OR ANYTHING SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. AND EVEN IF SOMEONE IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT IT STILL STAYS ON. *TR

AIR BAGS
I WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT WHERE ANOTHER CAR HIT THE PASSENGER SIDE AND ONLY THE PASSENGER AIR BAG DEPLOYED. THE CRASH WAS BAD ENOUGH WHERE THE OTHER AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. I SUFFERED INJURIES TO MY BACK, NECK AND ARMS. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
WHILE DRIVING MY CAR STALLED AND SUDDENLY, WITHOUT WARNING CUT OFF! NEEDLESS TO SAY, THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK MY CAR TO DEALER AND WAS CHARGED OVER $500 FOR TUNE-UP, OIL CHANGE, AND DIAGNOSTIC CHECK. ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON WITHIN ONE WEEK. I CANNOT AFFORD THE COSTLY REPAIRS WHEN MECHANICS CANNOT DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE. HOWEVER, MORE IMPORTANTLY, I CANNOT AFFORD TO BE HURT IN A CAR ACCIDENT. BACK TO THE MECHANICS SPENDING $146.00 FOR OXYGEN SENSOR ~ ENGINE LIGHT BACK ON WITHIN ONE WEEK! CAR STALLING AND IDOL IS EXTREMELY HIGH ~ CAR CUTOFFS CONTINUES....EMISSIONS TEST TIME ~ FAILED! NOW TOLD NEED NEW POWER CONTROL MONITOR. ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC " CODES ARE BEING SHOWN FOR NO REASON". *TR

ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
TRAVELING AT 60 MPH THE ETC LIGHT BEGINS TO FLASH AND THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE, ALTHOUGH RPMS INCREASE SIGNIFICANTLY. THIS HAPPENS MANY TIMES GOING DOWNHILL. DEALER WAS NEVER ABLE TO REPAIR. RESETS IF CAR IS RESTARTED, BUT THIS IS NOT SAFE TRAVELING AT 60MPH ON THE HIGHWAY IN TRAFFIC. *TR
