FIRSTLY FOUND THE DRIVER'S SEAT BELT BEEPS WHILE DRIVING WITH THE SEAT BELT ON; ONE WEEK AGO, STOPPED BY THE POLICE AT NIGHT, SAYING ALL THE REAR LIGHTS DIDN'T FUNCTION, INCLUDING THE STOP LIGHTS, TURN SIGNALS; A SELF CHECKING FOUND ALL THE LIGHT BULBS ARE GOOD, BUT THE FRONT LEFT TURN SIGNAL DOESN'T WORK, BOTH FRONT LEFT AND REAR RIGHT LIGHTS ARE ON FOR A LONG TIME AFTER SHUTTING OFF ENGINE AND LIGHT SWITCH. YESTERDAY I TOOK IT TO OLATHE CHRYSLER SHOP/DEALER TO CHECK UP MY CAR. THEY FOUND BOTH THE MULTI FUNCTION SWITCH AND THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE SHOULD BE REPLACED. OTHERWISE THE CAR MAY CATCH A FIRE OR LEAD TO ACCIDENTS. THIS IS 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING CONVERTIBLE. AS FAR AS I KNOW NO ACCIDENT HAS HAPPENED TO IT. I AM SURE THIS MODEL HAS HIDDEN SAFETY ISSUES.
