Selected complaints filed with NHTSA by 2007 Chrysler Sebring owners, lightly cleaned up (personal details are redacted by NHTSA).
I've had to replace the battery in this 3 times. Alternator 1. And Throttle Body Position Sensor twice. And now it's all starting to act up again. Car stalls, no reason, all dashboard warning lights flash and it stalls. No dashboard lights at night. Occasionally they flicker. Windshield wipers either won't work or won't shut off. Front windows are unusable, the track broke and back windows don't have power to make them work. Airbag and abs lights always flashing on dash and warning bell goes off all the time. Now my High beam wires have completely crumbled and radio takes 5-10 minutes to come on. Obviously a major electrical issue. I've lost my job thanks to the "reliability" of this money pit. Owned 3 years, problems began then. Today all lights are flashing, the air starts blowing high, wipers go on. I stop at light and it shuts off. Had to push off busy road. …
There were 7 recalls on my make, year, model vehicle. Three of which were Brakes, Air Bags, and the TPMS tire monitoring system. Other body parts, doors and hood releases had recalls along with hvac/air conditioning systems. Radiator/fan motor failures. Doors flying open during transit. The ABS control module could cause the brakes to lock-up during braking. Shorts from unused connectors for the computer/TPMS system/brakes and air bags have been causing many unpredictable breakdowns. Some predictable, from past records, state recorded Instances from 180,963 vehicles that just failure of the TPMS monitor system has already caused engine no start, dead battery, Inoperable cruise control, remote start system, engine stalling which could cause a "crash without warning". This was what i read on the www.autoblog site concerning this vehicle. …
Having continual issues with lights on dash flickering: 2 repairs completed in last 18 months and still broke. Cosmetically, the car is crappy since the day I bought it; paint flaking off, tire rims have pitted, inside door handles flaking off paint too, among a few others. However, my heated seats burning through is what has me very irate! I was driving and had two adult passengers with me. Both of us in the front had the heated seats turned on returning home from running errands in the city 45 miles away. My passenger is 8 months pregnant and I have low lumbar issues, so heated seats are always used. We had both complained that we found it weird that if we made quick stops during our running, when we got back into the car and turned the heated seats on, it felt warmer than usual. However, if we were somewhere for a longer period of time, the seats didn't get terribly hot right away. …
I am very concerned about my airbag light coming on 1-2 times a month. Does that mean the air bags May suddenly deploy while I am sitting at a light, or not deploy when involved in a crash? My second concern is that my dashboard lights started dimming and eventually went out on their own. I cannot drive at night any more.I took it to a mechanic and thinking it was a simple fuse problem. No, it has to do with the mechanic removing the dashboard and going into the instrument cluster box and replacing simething in there. I have been quoted $350.00-to 375.00 dollars.cannot afford that. My new problem: driving home, getting ready to back up my drive way, the car is running hot, when I went to shift from drive to reverse,the car cut off.had a hard time taking the carout of reverse to park. …
My Chrysler Sebring's electronic throttle control light goes on for a second or 2 and then goes back off randomly. The car idles high and seem to want to stall out. The vehicle will go into limp mode when the etc light is solid and won't go more than 10-15mph. There is no check engine light and mechanic found no codes to tell what was wrong. I have been on the freeway or city streets when it will randomly go into limp mode and have to safely maneuver away from traffic as vehicle slows with no response from the gas peddle. I have read online that many other people have had this safety problem and no one seems to be able to fix it or find the source. I observed many others spending hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars on different speculated parts that "May" cause this to happen. …
For the past several months my dash lights have been flashing, sometimes going off and staying off, and my remote start will start the car but then it immediately shuts off. I did some research on what could be causing this and discovered NHTSA reference # 08v-152, which describes exactly what I've been experiencing, and my car does have the tire pressure monitoring system. When I contacted Chrysler they told me that there have never been any recalls on my particular vehicle. I know this to be untrue because shortly after I purchased the car I received a recall notice for a spring in the gear shift. Chrysler informed me that if I want this corrected it would at my own expense. The problem that initiated the recall can result in the car stalling without warning and causing an accident. …
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. …
Dashboard was dim with airbag indicator light always on when purchased. The problems started with dashboard lights going in and out and the wipers not working properly around November of last year. Was told fuses needed to be changed, so they were. Same issue. Then 3 months ago taillight bulb went out, changed it and the taillights have not worked since. Was told it has to be taken to dealer authorized shop for electrical box repair after taking car to three different shops who all said they could not find the issue. Today battery looking light came on and before I could turn around to go back home the car immediately shut off and would not start without a jump. The lightning bolt in parentheses came up and car accelerated without my foot being on gas but would not go above 30 MPH once I made it home it turned off and refuses to start 6 hrs later. …
In the past 3 years that I have owned this vehicle each time is rains and/or humid my car would stall. I took it to 2 different mechanic shops (this was done in the span of three years). Unfortunately no one was able to find or to fix the problem. It seems quite dangerous as my car would stall as it is running, while I am driving (talk about unsafe). I noticed that the issue would surface when it is raining and/or very humid outside. My car would start to loose power, a bit of a engine hiccup, and then as I approach a stop or red light, the car would stall completely. Which means I need to put it in park, and restart the engine. Mechanic checked it and said there is "no issues" but any time it rains I have this problem. Also they checked the computer and replaced some other recalled item, and computer does not show any errors. …
The airbag light has been in for a long time. I know someone that has the same car and their car has the same issue. Also the true gage reader is malfunctioning. Now I have problems with the car stalling on the roadway. I called Chrysler about the recalls and the said everything has been taken care of. They couldn't tell me who brought the car in fir repairs. I've had the car for 8 years. I dont think the issues have been resolved. They should at least be able to see who brought the car in fir the repairs. The headlights will sometimes go off when going around turns. I met the previous owner and he told me that these issues are why he got rid of the car. Please help me get the recalls fixed so something bad doesn't happen to us in this car.
