NHTSA Complaint #10170594 — 2004 CHRYSLER SEBRING

I PURCHASED MY 2004 SEBRING AT SHELLBY CHRYSLER JEEP\EAGLE DEALERSHIP. JUST A FEW SHORT MONTHS LATER ,MY CAR STARTED JUST CUTTING OFF. THEN IT STARTED JUMPING FORWARD WHILE I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE ALMOST CAUSING ME TO GET HIT IN SEVERAL INTERSECTIONS. I TOOK MY CAR IN MORE THAN 7 TIMES TO BE TOLD THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM BECAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT COME ON THEREFORE IT WOULD NOT PULL A CODE. MEANWHILE, I HAVE TO TAKE IT BACK FOR A LEAK SOMEWHERE. THIS HAPPENED TWICE. NOW 2 YEARS LATER JUST AS MY WARRANTY HAS RAN OUT, THE CAR STARTS CUTTING OFF AND LEAVING ME STRANDED. I HAD TO HAVE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP ONLY FOR THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO SMART OFF AT MA AND TELL ME THAT IT WAS OUT OF GAS. I KNEW THIS WAS NOT TRUE BECAUSE THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED THE FIRST THING I DID WAS TRY TO PUT GAS IN IT. ALSO, WHEN I WAS HAVING TROUBLE ONLY A FEW MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE GAS GAUGE,BUT OF COURSE,THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. THE CAR CUT OFF AGAIN AND I TOOK IT BACK,ASKED THEM TO CHECK THE GAS GAUGE AND THEN WAS TOLD THE SENDING UNIT IN THE GAS TANK WAS BAD,NOW THAT ITS OUT OF WARRANTY AND I HAVE TO PAY OVER 700.00 FOR THE PART TO BE REPLACED. OH YEAH,AND THE PAINT IS PEELING OFF! *NM
