NHTSA Complaint #10574841 — 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING

THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT OCCASIONS--BECOMING MORE FREQUENT AND LASTING LONGER DURATION EACH TIME. WHILE TRAVELING VARIOUS SPEEDS (CAN AND HAS HAPPENED ANYWHERE FROM 5MPH-60MPH) IF ANY PRESSURE IS APPLIED TO ACCELERATOR AFTER BREAKING NO MATTER THE SPEED ALL POWER IS LOST TO THE CAR A RED LIGHTING BOLT LIGHT APPEARS ON THE DASH AND THE RPM'S WILL STAY BETWEEN 4,000-5,000. EACH TIME HAVING TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND ATTEMPT FOR IT TO RESTART (DEPENDS ON IF IT WILL OR NOT--USUALLY TAKES IT A WHILE). WILL GET UP TO SPEED AGAIN AND IF I HAVE TO BRAKE FOR ANY REASON OR EVEN SLOW DOWN JUST A LITTLE WITHOUT APPLY THE BRAKES IT CAN COMPLETELY LOOSE POWER. ALSO DO NOT HAVE ANY DASH LIGHTS WHEN THE HEAD LIGHTS ARE TURNED ON. THEY APPEAR IN THE CENTER CONSOLE BUT WENT OUT IN 2009 JUST AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR, AND AFTER SEVERAL ESTIMATES IN THE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IT REMAINS WITH NO LIGHTS (SO IN NO WAY CAN YOU SEE THE SPEED OR ANYTHING ELSE ON THE DASH AFTER DARK.) *TR
