Consumer Description

I HAVE ALREADY SUBMITTED ONE COMPLAINT AND THIS IS AN EXTENSION OF THAT PLUS A NEW COMPLAINT. ON 7/11/2004 MY VEHICLE SURGED AGAIN WHEN I STARTED TO TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE WHILE SITTING AT A STOP SIGN. WHEN WILL AN INVESTIGATION BEGIN ON THIS PROBLEM? INCLUDING MY PAST COMPLAINT I HAVE FOUND 10 COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE AN INVESTIGATION IS STARTED? THE ODI ID# FOR JUST THE SURGING ISSUE ARE: 10075295, 10079965, 10079969, 10072311, 10063597, 10064593, 10074633, 10065378, 10075041, AND 10080475. I INFORMED THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND THEY LOOKED AT ALL THE SENSORS AND COMPUTERS AND SAID THEY FOUND NO PROBLEM OR RECORD OF A PROBLEM IN THE CAR'S COMPUTER, THIS WAS ON 7/12/2004. ALSO A PROBLEM FROM MONTHS AGO, THE CAR SUDDENLY DIED, LUCKILY MY WIFE WAS CRUISING THROUGH A PARK AND THE SPEED LIMIT WAS 10 MPH, SHE WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT AND IT HASN'T HAPPENED SINCE. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND AGAIN THEY CHECKED EVERYTHING AND FOUND NO PROBLEM. 3RD ISSUE, MY SEBRING HAS BEEN IDLING VERY ROUGH EVERY NOW AND THEN. I DRIVE MY CAR EVERY SINGLE DAY, BUT IT APPEARS TO DO IT MAINLY WHEN IT IS THE FIRST START OF THE DAY BUT IT HAS DONE IT AT OTHER TIMES. THE DEALER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THEY REQUESTED WE LEAVE IT WITH THEM OVER NIGHT SO THEY COULD TEST IT ON THE FIRST START. SERVICE ARRANGEMENTS FOR THIS ISSUE HAVE NOT BEEN MADE YET. I HAVE FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT ALL THREE OF THESE PROBLEMS ON THIS WEBSITE, BUT THERE IS NOT A SINGLE INVESTIGATION OPEN ON THIS MODEL OF CHRYSLER, WHY?*AK
