2007 Chrysler Sebring

I HAVE A 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING AUTOMATIC 4 CYLINDER. WHEN DRIVING THE CAR INTENDS TO STUTTER SOMEWHAT. ESPECIALLY IN THE RAIN. BUT WHENEVER IT ACCELERATES AT LOW SPEEDS IT WOULD JUMP OR HESITATE LIKE IT WANTS TO STALL, I DONT KNOW IF IT COULD BE THE FUEL TYPE. I TALKED IT OVER WITH THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID IT COULD BE ANYTHING. I HAVENT GOTTEN IT CHECKED OUT YET BECAUSE THEIR GOING TO CHARGE ME AND IF THEY CANT FIGURE THE PROBLEM OUT. THEN I WONT BE ABLE TO GET MY MONEY BACK. PLUS WHEN GOING UP A HILL AT A STEADY PACE AND AT USUAL IT WOULD NORMALLY DECREASE IN SPEED, I WOULD HAVE TO SMASH ON THE PEDAL TO JUST KICK IT IN THE NEXT GEAR. *TR

THE CAR HAD A NEW SET OF SPARK PLUGS AND A TRANSMISSION SERVICE AT 60,000 MILES. THE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN AT FREEWAY SPEEDS WHEN IT LOST POWER AND THEN WAS STUCK IN SECOND GEAR. IT WAS TOWED TO A CHRYSLER DEALER WHERE THEY SERVICED THE TRANSMISSION BELIEVING THAT WAS THE PROBLEM, BECAUSE THE OBDII SYSTEM REPORTED NO CURRENT OR STORED ERROR CODES. THEY RETURNED THE CAR AND STATED THAT IT WAS RUNNING ROUGH AND SHOULD HAVE A TUNE UP. THE CAR WAS DRIVEN ABOUT 180 MILES AT FREEWAY SPEEDS WHEN IT AGAIN LOST POWER AND WAS STUCK IN SECOND GEAR. THIS TIME THE CAR WAS DRIVEN ALONG THE SHOULDER TO THE NEXT OFF RAMP AT WHICH TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO ANOTHER CHRYSLER DEALER WHERE THE OBDII CODES SHOWED THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND AN OXYGEN SENSOR HAD FAILED. THE DEALER REPLACED THESE ITEMS. FUEL ECONOMY DROPPED FROM ABOUT 30 MPG TO ABOUT 23 MPG. THE LOCAL DEALER LOOKED INTO THIS PROBLEM BUT SAID THAT THE OBDII SYSTEM IS REPORTING NO CURRENT OR STORED CODES SO THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO PER THE FACTORY, THEY ALSO HAVE NOTED THAT THE ENGINE IS RUNNING ROUGHLY. CHRYSLER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND AGREED TO REFUND THE COST OF THE TRANSMISSION SERVICE BECAUSE IT WAS NOT THE PROBLEM. I MAILED ALL THE COPIES OF THE REQUESTED PAPERWORK TO THEM BUT THEY NEVER RESPONDED BACK AND HAVE NOT PAID.

I OWN A 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING TOURING SEDAN. SOMETIMES WHEN BREAKING OR ACCELERATING, THE VEHICLES ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL SENSOR LIGHT WILL ENGAGE, AND THE CAR MAY FAIL TO BREAK OR ACCELERATE, OR EVEN COMPLETELY TURN OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME ON THE HIGHWAY, AS WELL AS CITY STREETS. THIS HAS BECOME A MORE FREQUENT ISSUE OVER THE PAST 6 MONTHS. THE VEHICLE ALSO SOMETIMES JERKS OR TRANSMISSION WILL SKIP WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I HAVE NOTICED THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS AND RADIO TURN OFF WITH NO REASON WHILE DRIVING. I WAS TOLD NO PROBLEMS COULD BE FOUND WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AS OF THIS MOMENT, AND AM STILL HAVING THESE SAME, DANGEROUS PROBLEMS. *TR

I WAS ON THE EXPRESS WAY GOING TO WORK AND THE CAR IDLED DOWN AND WAS ABOUT TO CUT OFF WHEN THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR GAS PEDAL WOULD NOT WORK I HAD TO CUT IT OFF THEN ON BEFORE IT WOULD GO AND IT TAKE A LONG TIME FOR THE TRANSMISSION TO CHANGE GEAR THIS CAR IS A LEMON AND CHRYSLER KNOW IT. IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED FOR ALL THESE PROBLEMS IT ONLY HAVE 52,000 MILES ON IT. IT'S A MESS THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD FIX NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *TR

2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING, THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM THAT HAS RESULTED IN NUMEROUS TRIPS TO THE MECHANIC. I HAVE A CONSTANT VIBRATION WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE FROM SPEEDS AROUND 50-70+ MPH. WHATEVER THE VIBRATION IS CAN BE FELT THROUGHOUT THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT AS IF YOUR SITTING IN A MASSAGE CHAIR. THIS PROBLEM IS ALSO CAUSING THE BRAKE ROTORS TO WARP AND FAIL (SAFETY SAFETY) ISSUE. I AM ON MY FOURTH SET OF ROTORS, THIRD SET OF BRAKE PADS, AND THIRD SET OF TIRES. IN ADDITION I HAVE REPLACED THE HUB BEARINGS AS WELL. ALL BY THE RECOMMENDATION OF VARIOUS MECHANICS. I AM AFRAID THAT SINCE MOST OF MY TIME IN MY VEHICLE IS ON THE INTERSTATE THAT I WILL HAVE A COMPLETE FAILURE AT HIGH SPEEDS. THE CHRYSLER DEALER DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THE ISSUE THEY ONLY WANT YOU TO KEEP COMING BACK PAYING THE OUTRAGEOUS LABOR RATES. ONE REPAIR SHOP ALL BUT TOLD ME TO STOP COMING. THIS VEHICLE HAS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY CHRYSLER. THIS PROBLEM IS ON GOING AND I HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT EVERYDAY, CAUSE NO ONE CAN FIX IT. WHEN THE ROTORS WARP THE VEHICLE IS HARD TO CONTROL WHILE BRAKING. *TR
