IN THE PAST 3 YEARS THAT I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE EACH TIME IS RAINS AND/OR HUMID MY CAR WOULD STALL. I TOOK IT TO 6 DIFFERENT MECHANIC SHOPS AS WELL AS TO CHRYSLER DEALER NEAR PARMA, OH (THIS WAS DONE IN THE SPAN OF THREE YEARS). UNFORTUNATELY NO ONE WAS ABLE TO FIND OR TO FIX THE PROBLEM. IT SEEMS QUITE DANGEROUS AS MY CAR WOULD STALL AS IT IS RUNNING, WHILE I AM DRIVING (TALK ABOUT UNSAFE). I NOTICED THAT THE ISSUE WOULD SURFACE WHEN IT IS RAINING AND/OR VERY HUMID OUTSIDE. MY CAR WOULD START TO LOOSE POWER, A BIT OF A ENGINE HICCUP, AND THEN AS I APPROACH A STOP OR RED LIGHT, THE CAR WOULD STALL COMPLETELY. WHICH MEANS I NEED TO PUT IT IN PARK, AND RESTART THE ENGINE. CHRYSLER DEALER CHECKED IT AND SAID THERE IS "NO ISSUES" BUT ANY TIME IT RAINS I HAVE THIS PROBLEM. ALSO THEY CHECKED THE COMPUTER AND REPLACED SOME OTHER RECALLED ITEM, AND COMPUTER DOES NOT SHOW ANY ERRORS. HOW CAN ONE DRIVE A CAR THAT UNPREDICTABLY STALLS AND NO ONE, EVEN THE DEALER, IS ABLE TO LOCATE AND FIX THE PROBLEM?

INTERIOR DASH LIGHTS FLICKER ON AND OFF AT NIGHT, SOMETIMES REMAING OFF. AS SUCH, SPEEDOMETER ISN'T ILLUMINATED, AS WELL AS OTHER GUAGES. I GOOGLED THIS CONDITION AND BY THE RESPONSES I SAW, THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM IN THE CHRYSLER SEBRING AND THERE SHOULD BE AN IMMEDIATE RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT FROM DIVERTING ATTENTION FROM THE ROAD TO THE DASH SITUATION. THIS HAPPENS IF THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED, MOVING, TURNING, ON A CITY STREET AND IN HIGHWAY CONDITIONS. IT HAPPENS WHEN TRAVELING ON SMOOTH PAVEMENT OR ROUGHER CONDITIONS.

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.
