2007 Chrysler Sebring

WHEN MY HUSBAND DRIVES MY CAR, HE MOVES THE SEAT TO THE VERY BACK POSITION. WHEN I DRIVE MY CAR, I MOVE THE SEAT FORWARD. THIS ACTION CAUSES THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE DASH TO COME ON. WHEN I MOVE THE ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED SEAT FORWARD/BACKWARD, THE AIRBAG LIGHT WILL GO OFF. THE NHTSA REF 07V240000 REFERENCES A RECALL FOR THE FRONT SEAT TRACK POSITION SENSOR. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER TO HAVE THE REPAIR INITIATED; HOWEVER, THEY SAID MY CAR (ALTHOUGH SAME YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL) IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY I LOST POWER TO MY CAR. IT WOULDN'T GO FASTER THAN 25-30 MPH EVEN WHEN I FLOORED IT. THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT STARTS BLINKING ON THE DASH. HAPPENED A COUPLE TIMES, ABOUT 5-6 MONTHS APART, AND I FOUND OUT THAT IF I TURNED MY CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT WOULD RUN JUST FINE AGAIN. RECENTLY BEGAN HAPPENING WHENEVER I DRIVE FOR MORE THAN ABOUT AN HOUR, REALLY DANGEROUS WHEN IT HAPPENS ON THE INTERSTATE. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED AND THEY SAID THAT THE COMPUTER NEVER REGISTERED ANYTHING AND THEY CAN'T TELL WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT UNLESS IT IS HAPPENING WHEN I BRING IT IN. NEVER HAPPENS WHEN I'M NEAR A REPAIR SHOP THOUGH. LOOKED IT UP ONLINE AND APPARENTLY PLENTY OF OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. FED UP WITH IT. *TR

WHEN FILLING TANK, AFTER GAS PUMP CLICKS OFF, AND NOZZLE IS REMOVED, THE GAS IN THE TANK CHURNS VIOLENTLY UP, AND OUT, LIKE A WHIRLWIND, COVERING ME, AND THE GROUND WITH GAS. THIS HAPPENS EVEN IF I DON'T 'FILL'. DEALER CHARGED ME $444.00 TO SUPPOSEDLY 'FIX' BY REPLACING THE CHARCOAL FILTER, ETC., BUT FIX DIDN'T WORK, AND SAME THING HAPPENED NEXT FILL. NOW WAITING FOR PART TO COME IN AND WHOLE TANK TO BE REPLACED... *TR

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE LISTED ABOVE IN 2011 AT CITY AUTO PLAZA WHILE UNDER WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE SERVED MY PURPOSE AS IT WAS FOR WORK AND NOW SCHOOL ONLY FUEL EFFICIENT. ABOUT 6 OR 7 MONTHS AGO I BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH VEHICLE IT WOULD CRANK BUT NOT START. I WOULD HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC AND NOT FAULTY CODES WERE DISCOVERED. THIS HAPPENED ABOUT THREE OR FOUR TIMES UNTIL FRUSTRATED I PARKED THE VEHICLE AROUND THE FIRST OF FEBRUARY 2013 AND USED MY OTHER VEHICLE FOR SCHOOL. THE OTHER DAY I DECIDED TO HAVE THE VEHICLE LOOKED AT BY ANOTHER LOCAL DEALERSHIP NEAR MY HOME NOT THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP WERE PURCHASED MY DEALING WITH THE DEALERSHIP FOLKS ARE NOT POSITIVE OR BENEFICIAL TO ME. THE MECHANIC AT BUDDY RAYS AUTO CARE IN CANON CITY CHECKED THE VEHICLE AND TRACED THE PROBLEM TO A CONNECTION WIRING SYSTEM THAT WAS ATTACHED TO THE FUEL PUMP. FROM THEIR EXPLANATION THE VEHICLE WAS IN DANGER OF CATCHING FIRE IF THIS PROBLEM PERSISTED. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP IN AN ATTEMPT TO REPORT THIS MATTER AND THEY HAVE NOT ASSISTED TELLING ME INSTEAD THAT THE CAR HAD TO BE IN THEIR SHOP. BECAUSE OF THE DANGER POSED BY THIS PROBLEM I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE REPAIRED AT A COST OF 765.00 DOLLARS TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP, AND WIRING CONNECTORS PLUS LABOR. MY CONCERN FOR THIS CAR HAVING LESS THAN 100,000 MILES IN MY OPINION SHOULD NOT HAVE FACE THIS TYPE OF MALFUNCTION IN THE FUEL AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. *TR

I PRESENTED THIS SAFETY ISSUE TO THE MANAGER OF THE DEALERSHIP BY THE NAME OF [XXX]. [XXX] PROCEEDED TO TELL ME THAT SINCE I DID NOT USE HIM FOR MY SERVICING THAT HE WOULD NOT ASSIST ME. HE FLATLY TOLD ME HOW COULD HE HELP ME WHEN HE DIDN'T MAKE ANY MONEY OFF OF ME. I'VE BEEN TOLD BY OTHER PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME VEHICLE THAT THEY HAD THE SAME PROBLEM OF STOPPING WITHOUT ANY NOTICE.
