2008 Chrysler Sebring Conv

WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT HIGH-SPEED, ALL THE ELECTRICAL INSTRUMENTS BEGAN FLASHING ON/OFF. THE AIRBAG LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING AND A CHIME COULD BE HEARD. THIS OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY (3-5 TIMES PER YEAR) AND CHRYSLER CANNOT PROPERLY DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN MOST FREQUENTLY WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE WHILE RAINING WITH THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON HIGH. ON ONE OCCASION WHILE TRAVELLING THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS OF WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA ON THE TURNPIKE AT NIGHT IN THE RAIN THE ENTIRE CAR WENT DARK FOR ABOUT 10 SECONDS. IT APPEARED THAT THE SYSTEM REBOOTED. ORIGINAL OWNER.

WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT HIGH-SPEED, ALL THE ELECTRICAL INSTRUMENTS BEGAN FLASHING ON/OFF. THE AIRBAG LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING AND A CHIME COULD BE HEARD. THIS OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY (3-5 TIMES PER YEAR) AND CHRYSLER CANNOT PROPERLY DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. WITH THIS LATEST INCIDENT, THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME IT WOULD COST $800 FOR A NEW POWER CONTROL MODULE. I RESEARCHED ONLINE ONLY TO LEARN THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH IDENTICAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THEIR CHRYSLER VEHICLES, WHILE NHTSA REFUSES TO ORDER A RECALL. I REFUSE TO ALLOW CHRYSLER TO PERFORM WORK ON THIS VEHICLE UNLESS THEY CAN GUARANTEE THE REPAIR AND CAP THE COST. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW AND CHRYSLER FAILED TO DISCLOSE TWO AUTO BODY REPAIRS PERFORMED PRIOR TO SALE - I DISCOVERED THIS ON THE CHRYSLER WEBSITE AND SINCE SPENT OVER $1,500 TO REPAIR IT BECAUSE CHRYSLER REFUSED TO ACCEPT ANY RESPONSIBILITY AFTER THE LEMON LAWS EXPIRED. *TR

MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND THE DEALER WANTS $550 TO FIX IT. I THINK IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD NOT BE SO EXPENSIVE TO FIX. I AM NOW DRIVING WITH NO AIRBAG DUE TO A BAD CLOCKSPRING IN THE STEERING WHEEL. ON MY 1996 IT WAS A RECALL AND THE DEALER HAD TO FIX IT FOR FREE, WHY DON'T THEY DO IT ON THIS NEWER MODEL. THE COST IS WAY TOO HIGH FOR THE PART AND AMOUNT OF TIME IT WOULD TAKE THEM TO REPLACE IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING CONVERTIBLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE DRIVER CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY UPON IMPACT AND THE DRIVER SUSTAINED A SPRAIN TO HER LEFT KNEE CAP. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THEY WOULD SEND SOMEONE OUT TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,000.

I OWN A 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING TOURING CONVERTIBLE AND 1 WEEK AFTER BUYING THIS VEHICLE IN APRIL 2009, THE FABRIC ON THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT "BUSTED" OPEN. THE SEATS HAVE A ZIPPER UP THE BACK OF THEM THAT ARE DESIGNED TO BUST OPEN WHEN THE AIRBAGS DEPLOY. THE DEALER FIXED THIS AT THIS TIME FOR NO COST. NOW, THE PASSENGER SEAT HAS DONE THE SAME THING. MY AIR BAG DEFAULT LIGHT CONTINUES TO STATE A MALFUNCTION AND IT WAS AT THIS TIME THAT I NOTICED THE FABRIC HAS BUSTED OPEN ON THE PASSENGER SEAT INDICATING ANOTHER MALFUNCTION WITH THE AIR BAG WITHIN THAT SEAT. I AM CONCERNED THERE IS A SAFETY CONCERN WITH THE AIRBAGS IN MY CAR AND AM CONCERNED THEY ARE NOT WORKING/WILL NOT WORK IF NEEDED. I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE ANY HELP WITH THIS POTENTIAL SAFETY RISK. THANK YOU. *TR
