Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2004 CHRYSLER SEBRING WITH A 2.7L V6 ENGINE. THE POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS PROBLEM WHICH HAS COME UP NUMEROUS TIMES IS THE ENGINE RPM WILL SURGE CAUSING THE CAR TO LURCH FORWARD. THE PROBLEM OCCURS WHEN COMING TO A STOP - THE ENGINE RPM WILL DROP TO THE POINT WHERE THE ENGINE WILL ALMOST STALL, THEN SURGE EXCESSIVELY CAUSING THE CAR TO LURCH FORWARD. THIS SURGE OF RPMS HAS CAUSED ME TO ALMOST HIT CARS IN FRONT OF ME AND WORSE, SENDING ME INTO AN INTERSECTION WITH ONCOMING CARS. I HAVE CALLED ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND BROUGHT MY CAR IN TO HAVE THIS ISSUE EXAMINED - THE ONLY THING THAT WAS DOES WAS TO REPROGRAM THE TRANSMISSION PCM. I DO SEE THAT THIS IS A FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM WITH OTHER OWNERS. *TR
