SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
TAKATA RECALL. I AM HAVING SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THE WHOLE BRAKING SYSTEM, AS IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO PINPOINT THE EXACT CAUSE OF HAVING NO BRAKES. I HAVE NO TYPE OF BRAKES AT ALL. WHEN TAKEN OFF PARKING, EVEN WITH FOOT ON BRAKE, CAR WILL BEGIN TO MOVE. THIS SEEMS TO BE VERY COMMON IN THESE CARS. THE FUEL PUMP WAS ALSO REPLACED AS IT WAS LETTING LESS POWER GO THROUGH. THIS HAPPENS AS THE CAR SITS IN PARKING, AS WELL AS, WHEN DRIVING. ALSO, THE MECHANIC THAT LOOKED AT THE CAR SAID THAT THE PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARDS. THE LIGHTS FLICKER ON AND OFF BY THEMSELVES, SOMETIMES RADIO WORKS, SOMETIMES, LIGHTS GET STUCK ON.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
AS I DRIVE MY SEBRING, EVERY DIP, HOLE OR CREVASSE MY CAR HITS(GOING 30 AND UP ITS DANGEROUS) SENDS IT WAY TO THE SIDE, DOESN'T HAVE AN EXACT SIDE EITHER. DOES IT BOTH WAYS. I BELIEVE IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH MY LOWER BALL JOINTS SO POSSIBLY MY CONTROL ARMS AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS POSSIBLE THAT THIS SPECIFIC CAR HAD ISSUES WITH THE CONTROL ARMS. THE WAY THE CAR DRIVES RIGHT NOW IS SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS AND I WAS JUST CURIOUS IF THIS CAR DID ACTUALLY HAVE A RECALL OR A MANUFACTURER DEFECT.

STEERING, SUSPENSION, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
SINCE PURCHASING VEHICLE IN 2006 THE HORN HAS BEEN GOING OFF BY ITSELF.. WHETHER DRIVING OR SITTING STATIONARY. I HAVE HAD TO BANG ON THE HORN PAD AREA TO GET IT TO STOP. AFTER YEARS OF HAVING TO DO THIS TO STOP THE BLARING HORN, IT NOW HAS A SHORT.. RUNS DOWN MY BATTERY BUT WILL NOT BLOW AT ALL. I HAVE HAD TO PULL THE FUSE TO SAVE MY BATTERY, HOWEVER, BECAUSE IT WILL NOT BLOW, I CANNOT GET AN INSPECTION STICKER. THEREFORE, I HAVE HAD TO DRIVE WITH AN EXPIRED STICKER SINCE AUGUST 2016 AS I CANNOT AFFORD THE HUNDREDS IT WOULD COST TO FIX THE HORN ON THIS VEHICLE. THIS IS NOT MY 1ST COMPLAINT ABOUT THE HORN ISSUES ON THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE ALSO DISCOVERED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS HORN ISSUE ON THIS VEHICLE.. HOWEVER, NOTHING HAS EVER BEEN DONE TO RESOLVE IT. RECENTLY, A LADY BACKED INTO MY CAR IN WALMART PARKING LOT, DAMAGING THE BUMPER AND BREAKING THE LIGHT BECAUSE I HAD NO HORN TO BLOW AND WARN HER. THIS IS JUST ONE SERIOUS ISSUE WITH THIS CAR.. THIS THING HAD BEEN A LEMON SINCE DAY ONE.. FROM THE FRONT STEERING SHAKING HORRIBLY WHILE BRAKING TO BOTH REAR STRUTS BREAKING TO RAIN WATER GETTING INSIDE THE DOORS AND FLOODING THE INTERIOR AND SHORTING OUT THE ELECTRIC WINDOWS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE DEFECTIVE INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM) WOULD CAUSE MY VEHICLE TO DO STRANGE THINGS. LIKE LOOSE COMPLETE POWER WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY OR IN TOWN. ALSO EFFECTS WHERE STARTER CRANKS BUT WONT START. BATTERY WOULD BE DRAINED FOR NO REASON. I HAVE THE VEHICLE IN THE SHOP RIGHT NOW GETTING THAT PART REPLACED. I ASKED THEM WHAT DID THEY FIND OUT ABOUT MY VEHICLE AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS OF THEM WORKING ON IT AND THEY STATED THEY WHERE UNSURE STILL WORKING ON IT. THEY GAVE ME A CALL BACK A FEW DAYS LATER AND THEY STATED THAT THE ISSUE IS THE TIPM AND THAT THEY GOT THAT INFO FROM CHRYSLER BECAUSE THEY EVENTUALLY HAD TO CONTACT THEM TO SEE IF THEY KNEW WHAT THE ISSUE WAS AND THAT THEY TOLD THEM THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE IN CHRYSLER VEHICLES MADE FROM 2007 TO 2014. TO ME THIS PART ON CHRYSLER VEHICLES SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR 0NE IT IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR YOUR VEHICLE TO LOOSE POWER WHILE DRIVING AND ALSO THE FACT THAT THEY KNOW THIS IS AN ISSUE.
