MY CHRYSLER SEBRING'S ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT GOES ON FOR A SECOND OR 2 AND THEN GOES BACK OFF RANDOMLY. THE CAR IDLES HIGH AND SEEM TO WANT TO STALL OUT. THE VEHICLE WILL GO INTO LIMP MODE WHEN THE ETC LIGHT IS SOLID AND WON'T GO MORE THAN 10-15MPH. THERE IS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND MECHANIC FOUND NO CODES TO TELL WHAT WAS WRONG. I HAVE BEEN ON THE FREEWAY OR CITY STREETS WHEN IT WILL RANDOMLY GO INTO LIMP MODE AND HAVE TO SAFELY MANEUVER AWAY FROM TRAFFIC AS VEHICLE SLOWS WITH NO RESPONSE FROM THE GAS PEDDLE. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS SAFETY PROBLEM AND NO ONE SEEMS TO BE ABLE TO FIX IT OR FIND THE SOURCE. I OBSERVED MANY OTHERS SPENDING HUNDREDS, IF NOT THOUSANDS, OF DOLLARS ON DIFFERENT SPECULATED PARTS THAT "MAY" CAUSE THIS TO HAPPEN. THE BEST SCENARIO AFTER PEOPLE REPLACED DIFFERENT PARTS WAS THAT THE VEHICLE WAS FINE FOR MAYBE A WEEK OR TWO BUT THE PROBLEMS CAME RIGHT BACK. I HOPE WITH YOUR HELP WE CAN PUT AN END TO THIS UNSAFE CONDITION OF THIS VEHICLE AND PROTECT THE CONSUMERS. THANK YOU FOR READING THIS AND TAKING MY EXPERIENCE AND MANY OTHERS INTO CONSIDERATION. *TR

1AQ10001 · Fleet Vehicle Recall Completion Audit
Opened Nov 18, 2010 · Closed Dec 28, 2015
Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Unknown Or Other
On November 18, 2010, NHTSA's Recall Management Division (RMD) opened an audit query (AQ10-001) to investigate recall remedy completion by rental car companies on safety recall campaigns.It was expected to provide the agency an indication of how completely and how quickly rental car fleets perform necessary recall-related remedies on the vehicles owned and then rented/leased for use on the roadways.RMD queried three (3) major motor vehicle manufacturers (Ford, Chrysler, and General Motors) and requested data regarding completion figures for fifteen (15) discreet safety recalls.Analysis of this data demonstrated that rental car recalls completion was neither complete nor consistent.The rental car companies representing the largest market share in the industry were then queried as to their respective policies for the rental, lease, and sale of vehicles with open recalls.The data and responses from the manufacturers and the rental car companies can be found in the document repository by accessing the ?Associated Documents link above.In December 2015, Congress enacted the Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST) Act.One section of the Act prohibits rental car companies from renting, leasing, or selling motor vehicles subject to open safety recalls.With the passage of the FAST Act and its prohibition, there is no continuing need for the agency to investigate rental car recall completions.Accordingly, this investigation is closed.The agency reserves the right to open any future investigations, including audits of individual recalls, or groups of recalls, or rental car companies, to examine more closely safety recalls performance and completion issues in this area.
