THE CAR WILL STOP SUDDENLY WHILE DRIVING I'VE BEEN TOLD ITS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE IN THE TRANSMISSION, BUT I SEE FROM THE RECALLS THAT CHRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT THESE ISSUES YET THESE CARS ARE STILL BEEN SOLD AND DRIVEN EVEN THOUGH THEY CAN HAVE VERY DANGEROUS CONSEQUENCES. THE DOORS LOCKS AND UNLOCKS ON THEIR OWN, THE LIGHTS FLICKER.

AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHT CONSTANTLY BEEPS AND STAYS ON FOR PERIODS OF TIME. WHEN I'M ON THE ON-RAMP ENTERING A HIGHWAY AND DRIVING IN A CURVE THE BRAKE INDICATOR LIGHT COMES ON. SOMETIMES IT COMES ON WHILE DRIVING ON A FLAT SURFACE. SINCE I'VE HAD THIS CAR, THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE PRESSURE HAS NEVER READ. IT JUST READS -- WHERE THE NUMBER SHOULD BE. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY CRANK POSITION SENSOR TWICE. I LOST ACCELERATION WHILE DRIVING.THE SECOND TIME I HAD TO REPLACE THE ELECTRICAL THROTTLE SOMETHING (ETC) AS WELL. NOW IT IS OUT A 3RD TIME.

CAR TURNS OFF AUTOMATICALLY AT LOW SPEED. BRAKES LOCK AT THE SAME TIME THIS HAPPENS. I TOOK IT BACK TO DEALER TO GET SERVICED, AND THEY STATED THAT NOTHING WAS FOUND. THE SERVICEMAN DID TELL ME THAT HE CALLED THE CHRYSLER CORP, AND THEY TOLD HIM THEY NEVER HEARD OF ANYTHING LIKE THIS HAPPENING BUT ON A FORUM ON THE INTERNET, THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS OF THIS OCCURRING. I TOLD THE MAN THAT IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND HOW DANGEROUS IT IS, AND HE AGREED WITH ME. THIS MALFUNCTION OCCURRED TWO TIMES ALREADY SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM THE DEALER. FUCCILLO VW 2242 CENTRAL AVENUE, SCHENECTADY, NY 12304 (518) 374-9161. MY NEXT ISSUE IS THAT I NEED SWAY BARS. I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK YESTERDAY DEC 27, 2014, BECAUSE AS I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT, THE LIGHT CHANGED GREEN, THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED GEARS AT THE SAME TIME I ACCELERATED ON THE GAS TO GO AND I HEARD CLICKING FOR ABOUT A MILE. THE NOISE WENT AWAY. I EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM TO THE SERVICEMAN AND I WAS TOLD THAT I NEED SWAY BARS NOW. I JUST PURCHASED THE CAR IN SEPT OF THIS YEAR, AND I'M SO DISAPPOINTED TO ENCOUNTER ALL THESE PROBLEMS. MY EXTENDED WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER THE WORK. I ALSO SAY THAT THIS HAS BEEN WEARING FROM THE PREVIOUS OWNER AND I AM NOT AT FAULT, NOR SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE WORK. I SERIOUSLY DO NOT EVEN WANT THIS CAR ANYMORE, AND I AM PAYING FOR IT MONTHLY FROM A LOAN THEY GAVE ME FROM CAPITAL ONE FINANCING. THIS IS CHAOS, AND HAS EXACERBATED MY ILLNESS OF HAVING MS. I WAS DUPED. PLEASE HELP.

I HAD NO BRAKE LIGHTS AND THE SEAT BELT INDICATOR LIGHT KEPT DINGING AS WELL AS THE TIRE LOW INDICATOR. IT WAS ALL BECAUSE OF THE TOTAL INTERGRATED POWER MODULE. IT WAS ON BACK ORDER FOR FIVE WEEKS. IT COST 750.00 FOR JUST THE PART. I FEEL CHRYSLER DOESN'T RECALL THESE EVEN AFTER 1000S OF COMPLAINTS BECAUSE IT IS TO COSTLY. THEY ARE MAKING MONEY ON THE PART ALONE. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHRYSLER OVER THEM NOT DOING THE RIGHT THING. I COULD'VE BEEN REAR ENDED OVER THIS. IT COST ME 995 JUST TO GET THE TIPM PUT IN. I STILL HAVEN'T FIXED THE SEAT BELT DINGING OR THE LOW TIRE DINGING YET. HATE TO SEE HOW MUCH THAT WILL COST. SOMEBODY NEEDS TO MAKE CHRYSLER DO THE RIGHT THING AND ISSUE A RECALL. SAFETY BEFORE ANYTHING.

MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE. THE LATEST ONE IS THE MOST SERIOUS. A FAULTY ABS SENSOR CAUSE THE BRAKES TO OPERATE ABNORMALLY. THE ABS LIGHT MAY COME ON THEN GO OFF AND (PERIODICALLY GOES ON AND OFF). REGARDLESS OF THE LIGHT STATUS, THE ABS SYSTEM RANDOMLY ENGAGES AND DOES NOT ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO STOP IN A SAFE MANNER. THE ABS WHEN ENGAGED RESISTS THE DRIVER FROM APPLY PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE RESULT IS THE CAR NOT STOPPING. LUCKILY I WAS GOING SLOW AND THERE WAS NO ONE AROUND OTHER WISE THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT. THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON, RESISTED MY BRAKING FORCE THEN WENT OFF AND ALLOW THE BRAKES TO ENGAGE AS ANTICIPATED. THE ROADS WERE NORMAL, DRY AND FREE OF DEBRIS/ LOOSE FILL. THIS HAPPENED TWICE OVER TWO DAYS. ON THE SECOND DAY I PARKED THE CAR AND LET IT SIT UNTIL IT'S SERVICE DATE. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT DIAGNOSED A FAULTY SENSOR WITH CODE C1044. THEY SAID IT WAS DUE TO RUST. FIRST THIS IS A 2007 CAR, SECOND IF RUST ON A SENSOR IS GOING TO INHIBIT NORMAL BRAKING THEN THE PART IS DEFECTIVE AND OR THE DESIGN IS DEFECTIVE. I WAS LUCKY SOME ONE ELSE IS NOT GOING TO BE. ABS IS DESIGNED TO PUMP THE BRAKES UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS. I'M SURE NORMAL DRIVING AT 25 MPH ON A DRY NORMAL SURFACE ISN'T ONE OF THEM. EVEN IF THE ABS FAILS THE OPERATOR SHOULD STILL BE ABLE TO STOP THE CAR BY APPLYING MANUAL FORCE TO THE BRAKE PETAL. THIS FAILURE DOES NOT ALLOW EFFECTIVE USE OF THE BRAKES! SECOND ISSUE IS THE LIGHTS (BOTH INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR DIMMING) WITH AUDIBLE SURGES IN THE CLIMATE CONTROL BLOWER. THE DEALER SAYS THIS IS DUE TO MY REMOTE STARTER EVEN THOUGH THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN OCCURRING WELL BEFORE THE REMOTE STARTER WAS INVOLVED. THIRD ISSUE IS THE REAR WINDOW REPEATEDLY COMING OUT OF TRACK THERE WERE OTHER ISSUES WITH THE BRAKES ROTORS WARPING AND BRAKE LIGHT COMING ON, GAS CAP LIGHT COMING ON, TIRE SENSORS

MY AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY. SOMETIMES IT BLINKS OFF AND ON A FEW MINUTES AT A TIME AS I DRIVE FOR AS LONG AS I'M DRIVING. OTHER TIMES, IT WILL STAY ON FOR 30 MINUTES OR SO CONTINUOUSLY, THEN STAY OFF. OR, I CAN GO DAYS WITHOUT IT COMING ON. I'M AFRAID IT'S GOING TO EITHER DEPLOY FOR NO REASON WHILE I'M DRIVING AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, OR NOT DEPLOY IF DO HAVE AN ACCIDENT. MY BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON ALMOST EVERY TIME I STOP AT A LIGHT. I HAVE HAD THE BRAKES CHECKED BY A MECHANIC, AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THEM. MY DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW HAS OCCASIONALLY BEGUN "STICKING". USUALLY IT IS WHEN I HAVE ROLLED IT DOWN, IT DOES NOT WANT TO ROLL BACK UP. MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY, SO I HAVE NOT PAID TO HAVE IT HOOKED UP TO THE COMPUTER AT THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THERE ARE ANY ERROR CODES. THESE HAVE ALL STARTED HAPPENING IN THE LAST THREE MONTHS, AND ARE STEADILY GETTING WORSE.

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.

WHEN BRAKING MODERATELY, THE FRONT WHEELS SHIMMY AND CAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL TO VIBRATE SO BADLY THAT YOU CAN NOT HOLD ON TO IT. COULD CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL AND AN ACCIDENT. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN WHEN BRAKING LIGHTLY OR HARD UNLESS YOU HAD ALREADY BEEN BRAKING MODERATELY. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WAS CAUSED BY WARPED ROTORS AND SINCE THIS WAS A COMPONENT OF THE BRAKE SYSTEM, IT WAS ONLY COVERED BY WARRANTY FOR 12 MONTHS/12,000 MILES. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN IN SERVICE FOR 17 MONTHS AND HAD 19,000 MILES ON IT. THIS COULD BE A REAL SAFETY HAZARD. I WOULD THINK THE WARRANTY WOULD COVER THE ROTORS, CALIPERS, AND BRAKE LINES BUT NOT THE DISK PADS OR SHOES. ROTORS SHOULD NOT WARP IN 17 MONTHS OR 19,000 MILES.
