NHTSA Complaint #10454846 — 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING AT ROUGHLY AROUND 45MPH WHEN THE (ETC) ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT CAME. SHE LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE MOMENTARILY, HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO SLOW THE CAR DOWN. SHE SHUT THE CARE OFF, WENT TO START IT BACK UP AGAIN AND IT WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING, KEEP IN MIND SHE HAD OUR 2 CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE ALSO. AFTER A COUPLE OF TRIES TO START THE VEHICLE, IT FINALLY STARTED AGAIN, NO MORE LIGHT! SHE HAD TOLD ME WHAT THE CAR WAS DOING, SO I DROVE IT FOR A DAY, AND NOTHING HAPPENED AT ALL. LATER THAT NIGHT SHE WENT TO THE STORE, AND IT DID IT AGAIN!! THIS TIME IT STAYED ON AND STARTED BLINKING. I DROVE THE CAR, AND IT WONT GO OVER 20MPH, AND IDLES REALLY ROUGH, ALSO IDLES HIGH, BETWEEN 1500-2100RPM. I AM WRITING THIS BECAUSE AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THIS IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THERE IS MORE THAN A COUPLE THOUSAND VEHICLES THAT HAVE DONE THE SAME THING. (THE 07' TO 08' CHRYSLER SEBRING) IT PUT MY FAMILY IN DANGER, THIS IS WHY I AM POSTING THIS COMPLAINT. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. *TR
