2008 Chrysler Sebring Conv

TAKATA RECALL, THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR SOME TIME NOW AND AS RECENTLY AS LAST MONTH MY SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON REQUIRING ME TO CHANGE THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. LAST WEEK MY STEREO WAS SHORTED OUT AND MY CRUISE CONTROL NO LONGER WORKS AND ONLY MY HIGH BEAMS ARE WORKING. TODAY MY CAR WOULD NOT START AND I TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP BECAUSE WHEN I TRIED TO START IT THE DASH FLASHED AS IF IT SHORTED OUT AND COME TO FIND OUT MY BATTERY WAS DEAD DRAINED FOR SOME REASON. THERE HAS ALSO BEEN A COUPLE OCCASIONS WHEN MY CONVERTIBLE TOP GOT STUCK IN OPEN POSITION AND WOULD NOT GO DOWN. I HAD TO WAIT ABOUT 5 MINUTES BEFORE RESTARTING CAR TO GET TOP TO CLOSE ALL THE WAY DOWN. THE CAR WAS PARKED WHEN OPENING AND CLOSING TOP. THE TIRE PRESSURE ICON IS STILL SHOWING ON DASH BOARD.

I WAS DRIVING AND WITH OUT WARNING A LOUD NOISE STARTED. THE CAR STOPPED ON THE CITY STREET AND COULD NOT BE MOVED. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. THIS WAS AN UNSAFE CONDITION. THE CAR WAS PUSHED TO THE CURVE OUT OF THE TRAFFIC..WITHOUT WARNING THE ENGINE PARTS BROKE DOWN. I HAD THE CAR TOLLED TO A STATION TO GET IT FIXED. I HAD TO REPLACED THE TIMING BELT, TIMING BELT TENSIONER, WATER PUMP, ANTI-FREEZE, SERPENTINE BELT, THIS COST $1,822.28.THAT WAS 09/28/2016. I HAD ONLY 74,708 MILES ON THE CAR, NOT 100,00. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEPT COMING ON. ON 11/07/16, AT A CHRYSLER DEALER, I HAD A DIAGNOSED TEST DONE. THE TECH FOUND THAT THE RIGHT CYLINDER HEAD NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE CAR HAD ONLY 75,209 MILES. NOT 100,00 MILES. IS THIS TO SOON FOR THOSE PARTS TO BREAK DOWN AND NEED TO BE REPLACED? I ALWAYS HAD MY CAR CHECK AT THE CHRYSLER DEALER FOR THE CHECK UPS AT THE RECORMENDED TIME. I RECEIVED NO WARNING THAT ANY OF THESE PARTS NEEDED TO BE CHANGED. NO WARNING. THE CAR JUST STOPPED. THIS IS DANGEROUS. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS CAR. I HAD JUST GOT OFF THE BELTWAY. I COULD HAD BEEN KILLED. THE REPLACEMENT OF THE RIGHT REAR CYLINDER HEAD IS GOING TO COST AROUND $5,000 DOLLARS. I DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY. THIS CAR SHOULD BE RECALLED THAT WITHOUT WARNING THESE PARTS WILL BRECK AND STOP THE CAR FROM RUNNING. I BROUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW, NOT USED, AND I ALWAYS TOOK MY CAR TO CHRYSLER COMPANY FOR THE REGULAR CHECK UP I HAVE THE REPAIR INVOICE AND THE DIAGNOIS REPORT, BUT I CAN'T SCAN THEM. I CAN FAX OR MAIL YOU A COPY. UPDATED 03/15/17*LJ *CN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING CONVERTIBLE. WHEN THE SEAT BELT WAS BUCKLED, THE WARNING LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED AND THE ENGINE FAILED WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED BECAUSE THE BATTERY CONTINUED TO DRAIN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 97,000.

I WAS DRIVING ONE MORNING AND IT WAS RAINING. THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR WOULDN'T ACCELERATE OVER 20 MPH. I CUT THE CAR OFF AND STARTED IT BACK UP AND IT DIDN'T DO IT ANYMORE. UNTIL THE OTHER DAY WHEN EXITING OFF THE INTERSTATE THE CAR LOST SPEED AND THE SAME LIGHT CAME ON. THE RESTARTING TRICK DIDN'T WORK. THE CAR RUNS SHAKY AND IS IDLED UP HIGH WHEN STARTED. THE CAR STILL WON'T ACCELERATE OVER 20MPH. HAD IT DIAGNOSED AND DISCOVERED THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AS WELL AS THE INTAKE MANIFOLD RUNNER VALVE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT OWN THIS CAR 2007/2008 HAVE THIS PROBLEM. WHICH CAN POTENTIALLY BE DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE!

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

WHILE DRIVING THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, LOSS SPEED OCCURRED, CAR FELT LIKE IN WAS GOING TO DYE ON THE FREEWAY. NO ACCELERATION POWER. ENGINE LIGHT FLASHING, THROTTLE LIGHT FLASHING IN RED. CAR HAS NO PICK UP. I HAVE CALLED CHRYSLER AND WAS TOLD NO RECALL. I HAD IT CHECKED AT LOCAL AUTO SHOP AND CODE WAS P0035. CRANK SHAFT SENSOR. MANY CUSTOMERS HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE AND NO ONE NOT EVEN CHRYSLER CAN FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. *TR

I WAS RIDING SLOW THROUGH MY NEIGHBORHOOD ABOUT 15-20 MILES PER HOUR AND THE CAR JUST SHUT OFF,THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME! IT HAD HAPPENED MANY TIMES SINCE THEN AND ALSO JUST LIKE MANY OTHERS ON HERE HAVE STATED,THE CAR SEEM LIKE IT IS ABOUT TO SHUT OFF WHILE IM SITTING AT A LIGHT THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT JUMPS FORWARD ALMOST CAUSING ME TO REAR END SOMEONE,THAT HAPPENS QUITE A BIT OR IT SHUTS OFF WHILE IDLING. ODDLY NO ONE KNOWS WHY?? THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BEFORE PEOPLE START GETTING SERIOUSLY HURT OR DIE. *TR
