THIS IS A 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING TOURING SEDAN WITH 2.7 L "FLEX-FUEL" ENGINE PURCHASED USED (ONE PRIOR OWNER IN WI) ON 05-22-09 WITH 31554MI. ACCORDING TO "CARFAX" THE ORIGINAL OWNER HAD REGULAR TIMELY MAINTENANCE DONE. ON 07-11-08 AT 21199MI THE FIRST COMPLAINT WAS MADE AT PURCHASING DEALERSHIP ABOUT ENGINE "STUTTER" OR "JITTER" AT 30MPH PARTICULARLY WHEN ENGINE WAS COLD. NO RECORD AS TO WHAT WAS SERVICED. ON 10-24-08 AT 25276MI THE EGR VALVE WAS REPLACED PER A CHRYSLER SERVICE BULLETIN. THEN ON 01-30-09 AT 27988MI CONCERNING THE SAME SORT OF "STUTTER" OR JITTER" COMPLAINT, A "CO-PILOT" WAS ATTACHED FOR 1 MONTH WHICH RECORDED NO FAULTS. THE VEHICLE WAS OFFERED FOR SALE ON 05-14-09. I HAVE NOTED THE SAME SORT OF PROBLEM SINCE MY PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE ON 05-22-09. WHEN COMING TO A SLOW OR STOP, PARTICULARLY IF THE ENGINE IS COLD (BUT NOT ALWAYS), THE RPM RISES TO OVER 2000, THE CAR "SURGES" AHEAD UNTIL I PRESS THE BRAKE HARDER. (THIS CONDITION CAUSES A MUCH HIGHER CHANCE OF A COLLISION WITH ANOTHER STOPPED CAR, PEDESTRIAN IN A CROSSWALK OR A STATIONARY OBJECT - LIKE A LIGHT POST IN A PARKING LOT.) SOMETIMES THE ENGINE WILL STOP AFTER THIS AND REQUIRE RESTARTING. ONE TIME I OBSERVED THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LAMP COME ON FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS AFTER THE "SURGE". I HAD THE CAR IN TO THE DEALERSHIP (TOYOTA) WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE CONCERNING THE "SURGING" PROBLEM. THEY CHECKED FOR SERVICE CODES (INCLUDING SOFT CODES) AND FOUND NONE. THEY WERE UNABLE TO PROCEED FROM THERE AND SUGGESTED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A CHRYSLER DEALER TO CONTINUE DIAGNOSIS. THIS WILL BE DONE AT THE EARLIEST AVAILABLE TIME. *TR

I HAVE 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING THAT STALLS ON ME WHILE I AM DRIVING. JUST LAST WEEK I WAS YIELDING ONTO I95 AND THAT CAR SHUT OFF, IT ALMOST CAUSE A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER SHIP AND THEY CLAIM THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. I KNOW THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG BECAUSE I HAVE READ ALOT OF CONSUMER REVIEWS ON THIS CAR AND ALOT OF PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

CHRYSLER SEBRING (2007) STALLS OR LURCHES FORWARDS, GENERALLY WHILE THE CAR IS STOPPED. OCCURS A FEW TIMES PER MONTH (~3) FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP, WHERE PROBLEM WAS OBSERVED; HOWEVER NO FIX WAS AVAILABLE FROM DEALER. SAFETY CONCERN IS THAT WHEN THE CAR LURCHES FORWARDS IT WILL HIT A PEDESTRIAN CROSSING AN INTERSECTION OR HIT THE CAR AHEAD OF IT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO LOSE ACCELERATION POWER. OCCASIONALLY, WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PLACED INTO DRIVE, THE ENGINE REVS AND THE SPEEDOMETER DISPLAYS 50 MPH. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, THE VEHICLE SLOWLY GAINS SPEED UNTIL IT REACHES THE SPEED INDICATED ON THE SPEEDOMETER. OCCASIONALLY, THE SPEEDOMETER WILL ONLY READ 40 MPH; HOWEVER, THE CONTACT FEELS THAT THE VEHICLE IS TRAVELING MUCH FASTER. SHORTLY AFTER THE INCIDENT, THE VEHICLE BEGAN OPERATING NORMALLY. SHE SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER, BUT THEY HAVE YET TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 18,132.

I OWN A 2007 SEBRING. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE IN A FEW TIMES FOR A PARKING BRAKE LIGHT THAT WOULD COME ON AND FOR THE AIRBAG LIGHT THAT WOULD COME ON. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO FIND THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM. WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, I HIT A DEER. ALTHOUGH THE IMPACT OCCURRED WHILE GOING 60 MPH, THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. FLAMES WERE COMING OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND ONTO MY WINDSHIELD BEFORE I EVEN GOT TO THE SHOULDER. I WAS FORCED TO JUMP FROM THE VEHICLE WHILE IT WAS STILL IN MOTION, TO ESCAPE THE BURNING CAR. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNED A 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING. WHEN THE CONTACT STOPPED AT THE TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN. A FEW MINUTES LATER, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SMOKE UNDER THE HOOD AND BURN. THE MANUFACTURER TOOK A REPORT. THEY SENT AN INVESTIGATOR TO THE TOW YARD, BUT THE CONTACT HAS NOT YET RECEIVED A RESPONSE FROM THE MANUFACTURER CONCERNING THE OUTCOME OF THE INVESTIGATION. CHRYSLER RECENTLY MAILED HER A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 07V473000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM: RADIATOR ASSEMBLY). THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 30,000.

I HAD THE 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING FOR SEVEN MONTHS,AND ON 6/26/2008 THE CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE. THEN I RECEIVED A RECALL THE FOLLOWING WEEK ON A TUESDAY BUT THAT WAS TO LATE. NOW THE CAR WAS A TOTAL LOSS AND I AM OUT OF A CAR. I JUST WANT SOMEONE TO REPLACE THE CAR AND LET ME CONT TO PAY ON IT, SO I WILL HAVE A WAY TO WORK AND DOCTOR APPOINTMENTS. INSTEAD I STILL HAVE THE CAR ON MY CREDIT AND CAN NOT GET ANOTHER ONE. THIS WAS NOT MY FAULT BE THEY ARE TREATING ME LIKE I SET THE CAR ON FIRE BUT IT WAS DUE TO THE RECALL. MY 6 YEAR OLD SON AND I WAS IN THE CAR AT THE TIME BUT LUCKILY WE GOT OUT AND WAS NOT HURT. *TR
