  I PURCHASED MY CAR USED 3 YRS AGO. I PAID IF OFF THIS YEAR. THE ONGOING TROUBLESOME ISSUE IS THAT THE CAR STALLS OUT UNEXPECTEDLY- USUALLY DURING WET WEATHER. IT HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 5 TIMES OR SO. BUT, IT HAS ALMOST HAPPENED MANY MORE TIMES...THE CAR SPUTTERS AND JUST ABOUT STALLS OUT. AGAIN, ALL DURING WET WEATHER. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED CAR AFTER THE 1ST INCIDENT. THEY TOOK THE CAR AND SAID I NEEDED A NEW BATTERY ; THAT IT WAS BEING DRAINED WHEN I HAD WIPERS, HEAT, RADIO ETC ALL ON AT ONCE AND THAT WAS WHY IT STALLED. I WENT WITH IT. WELL, IT HAS STALLED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE. ALL WHILE DRIVING AND VERY SCARY. THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT. ANOTHER THING THAT MAY OR MAY NOT BE RELATED...IS THAT THE DASH LIGHTS FLICKER ON AND OFF; ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE. I WILL BE DRIVING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN CAN'T SEE MY SPEEDOMETER OR ANYTHING. I THINK THERE IS DEFINITELY AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. I SEE THAT THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS RELATED TO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. I THINK THEY SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS. *TR

  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. *TR

  MY 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING (38000 MILES) HAD A COMPLETE BURN THROUGH ON THE FABRIC OF THE FRONT DRIVERS SEAT WHILE THE HEATED SEAT FUNCTION WAS TURNED ON. THE BURN THROUGH WAS ABOUT 12 INCHES LONG ON THE VERTICAL BACK PART OF THE SEAT. THIS COULD HAVE BURNED ME OR (SHOCKED ME?). SHOULDN'T THERE HAVE BEEN A FUSE THAT WOULD HAVE BLOWN OR SOME OTHER SAFETY FEATURE TO KEEP THIS HEATING ELEMENT FROM CONTINUING TO BURN THROUGH? I CALLED MY LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND SINCE MY WARRANTY RAN OUT IN APRIL, THEY WOULDN'T EVEN LOOK AT THE CAR UNLESS I GAVE THEM $89.00. THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED ON 12/23/10. THIS WHOLE BURN THROUGH ON THE SEAT HAPPENED WHILE THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF! *TR

  I WAS S/B ON I-75 IN KENTUCKY AT APPROXIMATELY THE 56 MP WHEN I FELL ASLEEP. THE FRONT END STRUCK THE END OF A GUARD RAIL AND THEN THE CAR SWUNG AROUND, SLID SIDEWAYS, AND ROLLED OVER STOPPING ON IT'S LEFT SIDE. NO AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE VEHICLE HAD BOTH FRONT AND SIDE AIR BAGS. THE KENTUCKY STATE POLICE, POST 11, TOOK THE REPORT AND THE MOUNT VERNON, KY FIRE DEPARTMENT GOT US OUT.

  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. *TR

  I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN MAY OF 2007 AND WITHIN THE FIRST FEW MONTHS THE CAR STOPPED FOR NO APPARENT REASON WHILE DRIVING ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE INCIDENTS STARTLED ME GREATLY THAT I REQUESTED TO RECEIVE A NEW CAR. THE DEALERSHIP REFUSED AND HAD SOMEONE FLY IN FROM LOS ANGELES, CA TO FIX. NOW AFTER 5 YEARS THE CAR IS DOING SAME THING. 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.

• 12/04/2011· ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

  I HAVE A 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING TOURING. I BOUGHT IT USED IN JUNE 2010. STARTING IN SEP 2010 IT STARTED HAVING ISSUES, (I.E., ENGINE SHUT OFF AT LOW SPEED OR WHEN GAS TANK WAS AT 1/4 TANK, ENGINE WOULD ACT AS IF WAS GOING TO STALL WHEN SITTING AT A STOP SIGN/LIGHT THEN WOULD LURCH FORWARD SUDDENLY, AND BRAKE LIGHT KEPT COMING ON). I HAD THE O2 SENSORS REPLACED, ENGINE LIGHT WENT OUT FOR A COUPLE WEEKS AND CAME BACK ON. MECHANIC THEN CHANGED WIRING HARNESS. THIS TIME LIGHT WAS OUT FOR ABOUT A MONTH OR 2 BUT NOW WILL NOT TURN OFF EVEN THOUGH THE MECHANIC COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH EITHER THE SENSORS OR THE WIRING HARNESS. NOW THEY SUGGEST REPLACING THE ENGINE BRAIN WHICH AT THIS TIME IS FINANCIALLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME. I TOOK THE CAR TO A CHRYSLER DEALER SHOP WHEN THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAM ON AND I TOLD THE GUY ABOUT ALL THE ISSUES. HE PULLED UP THE HISTORY AND INFORMED ME THE CAR'S FORMER OWNER HAD SAME SHUT OFF ISSUES AT 16K MILES AND HAD A NEW ENGINE INSTALLED AT 20K MILES. CAR IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUES THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RESOLVED WITH NEW ENGINE BEING PUT IN. I'VE ALSO HAD TO HAVE THE BRAKES REPLACED AFTER OWNING THE CAR LESS THAN A YEAR. I'M AFRAID THE CAR SHUTTING OFF ON ME IS GOING TO GET ME KILLED AS I'VE JUST NEARLY MISSED GETTING INTO 2 ACCIDENTS WHEN THE ENGINE HAS SHUT OFF ON ME. *TR

IT HAS DONE THIS AT LEAST 30 TIMES SINCE. NOW MY ETC LIGHT BLINKS AND CAR WILL ONLY GO 10-20 MPH, SLOWS TO 5MPH GOING UP ANY GRADE. IDLE IS ROUGH AND IDLES BETWEEN 1500 AND 2000. SOMETIMES WHEN I FIRST START THE CAR IT WILL RUN OKAY FOR ABOUT 2-3 MINUTES THEN ETC LIGHT SUDDENLY COME ON, CAR DECELERATES AND I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT SEVERAL TIMES. NOW THE BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF AS DOES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THE DEALER DOES NOT KNOW WHAT IS WRONG. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL VEHICLE. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHRYSLER PRODUCT BECAUSE THEY WILL NOT FIX THIS PROBLEM, ALWAYS SAY THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. *TR

  LOVE MY CHRYSLER CARS, YES, I HAVE TWO. THE STEM VALVES/SENSORS HAVE BEEN BREAKING OFF OF OUR 2007 MODEL SEBRING. JUST WANTED TO NOTE THIS IN THE DATABASE. HAD SECOND STEM VALVE/SENSOR BREAK THIS WEEK OF NOVEMBER 9TH, 2014 AND WHILE IT WAS GETTING FIXED, I HAD THE CAR REPAIR SHOP CHECK TIRE PRESSURE ON THE OTHER TIRES AND ANOTHER STEM VALVE/SENSOR SNAPPED OFF. THESE ARE NOT CHEAP TO FIX. THAT'S THREE SO FAR, TWO WITHIN DAYS OF EACH OTHER. I PLAN ON GETTING THE LAST STEM VALVE/SENSOR REPLACED SOON AS WHEN THIS HAPPENS, YOU HAVE ONLY FEET BEFORE YOUR TIRE IS COMPLETELY OUT OF AIR.
