2007 Chrysler Sebring

THE ELECTRICAL IN THE DASH STARTED FLICKERING ON AND OFF WITHOUT WARNING. EVENTUALLY IT STOPPED WORKING ALL TOGETHER. I TOOK IT TO A SERVICE DEPT I WORK AT AND THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER BECAUSE THEY WOULD HAVE TO RIP THE WHOLE DASH APART AND REPLACE IT. THAT WOULD COST ME AROUND $600. SEEMS LIKE OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. HAS THIS EVER BEEN A RECALL? *JS

DRIVING DOWN A NORMAL TRAFFIC FILLED STREET, CAR ALL OF A SUDDEN SHAKES AND, WONT GO PASSED 20 MPH AND THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON. ITS HAPPENED BEFORE BUT IF I TURN OFF THE CAR AND RESTART, THE CAR WOULD RETURN TO NORMAL. THIS PARTICULAR DAY IT DIDN'T. TOOK IT TO TIRE PLUS, THEY SAID I NEED A FUEL LINE CLEANING OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. FIXED THE PROBLEM FOR ABOUT A WEEK AND TODAY AS I WAS DRIVING FROM WORK DOING ABOUT 45 MPH THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON AGAIN, 3 TIMES IN UNDER FIVE MINS. EACH TIME HAD TO RESTART MY CAR. ITS DANGEROUS WHEN YOURE IN TRAFFIC AND LATE AT NIGHT, HAVING TO PULL OVER AND RESTART. *TR

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. THE CAR SAT FOR 48 HOURS BEFORE IT WAS TIME FOR ME TO PACK UP AND HEAD BACK TO MY OWN HOME, WHEN I NOTICED WHAT I THOUGHT TO BE A STAIN ON MY SEAT (FROM MY DAUGHTERS DOG THINKING HE WAS GOING WITH ME). AFTER TRYING TO CLEAN IT AND NOTHING HAPPENING, I TOUCHED IT WITH MY FINGER TIP, ONLY TO FIND THAT IT WAS A BURN SPOT. IF THAT WOULD HAVE CAUGHT FIRE WHILE DRIVING, I COULD HAVE CRASHED! I COULD HAVE KILLED MY PREGNANT PASSENGER, HER HUBBY AND HER UNBORN BABY! SINCE TODAY IS A HOLIDAY, YOU CAN BET THAT I WILL BE CALLING THE DEALERSHIP FIRST THING TOMORROW. I AM THE FIRST AND ONLY OWNER OF THIS CAR. *JS

I PURCHASED MY CAR USED 3 YRS AGO. I PAID IF OFF THIS YEAR. THE ONGOING TROUBLESOME ISSUE IS THAT THE CAR STALLS OUT UNEXPECTEDLY- USUALLY DURING WET WEATHER. IT HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 5 TIMES OR SO. BUT, IT HAS ALMOST HAPPENED MANY MORE TIMES...THE CAR SPUTTERS AND JUST ABOUT STALLS OUT. AGAIN, ALL DURING WET WEATHER. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED CAR AFTER THE 1ST INCIDENT. THEY TOOK THE CAR AND SAID I NEEDED A NEW BATTERY ; THAT IT WAS BEING DRAINED WHEN I HAD WIPERS, HEAT, RADIO ETC ALL ON AT ONCE AND THAT WAS WHY IT STALLED. I WENT WITH IT. WELL, IT HAS STALLED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE. ALL WHILE DRIVING AND VERY SCARY. THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT. ANOTHER THING THAT MAY OR MAY NOT BE RELATED...IS THAT THE DASH LIGHTS FLICKER ON AND OFF; ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE. I WILL BE DRIVING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN CAN'T SEE MY SPEEDOMETER OR ANYTHING. I THINK THERE IS DEFINITELY AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. I SEE THAT THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS RELATED TO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. I THINK THEY SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS. *TR

WHILE A MECHANIC WAS WORKING ON MY CAR HE NOTICED THAT A WIRING HARNESS WAS FUSED TOGETHER, AND THE FAN WAS NOT WORKING. I GOT ON LINE AND FOUND THAT IN NOVEMBER 2007 THERE WAS A RECALL (G39) AND IT WAS PERFORMED ON MY CAR( I PURCHASED MY CAR NEW IN FEBRUARY 2007). THERE WAS NO INDICATION MY CAR WAS RUNNING HOT, BUT, IT OBVIOUSLY COULD HAVE CAUGHT FIRE . THE WIRES WERE ARCING. I IMMEDIATELY GOT AN APPT WITH A DEALER ON 11/18 AND THIS TIME THE FOLLOWING PARTS WERE REPLACED: JUMPER RA 08015002, MOTOR RAD 08034280 AND SHROUD 07008002 FREE OF CHARGE .THE ORIGINAL RECALL WAS CALLED G39. THE ORIGINAL RECALL ONLY INSTALLED A FAN MOTOR OVERLAY HARNESS. THE ORIGINAL RECALL OBVIOUSLY DID NOT CORRECT THE ORIGINAL PROBLEM. BUT IT TOOK 7 YEARS TO HAPPEN AGAIN. *TR
