2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING Engine And Engine Cooling Problems

MY 2007 SEBRING STALLS ONLY WHEN RAINING. *TR

WAS REVERSING OUT OF PARKING SPACE AND ENGINE STALLED. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST OCCURRENCE. HAVE PREVIOUSLY BEEN DRIVING ON THE ROAD AT 35 MPH AND THE ENGINE HAS STALLED AND THE VEHICLE HAD TO CRUISE TO A SHOULDER FOR SAFETY, NEEDED TO SHUT OFF THE CAR AND RESTART. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED 2011 I HAD OWNED THE CAR FOR 6 MONTHS I WAS GOING APPROX 60MPH ON A HIGHWAY AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF, THE CAR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WAS FINE BUT THE ENGINE CUT OFF. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE SITUATION AND IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE. LAST WEEK THE DEALER REPLACED THE BATTERY BECAUSE THEY WERE CERTAIN THIS WAS BEING CAUSED BY THE BATTERY BUT IT IS NOT! LEFT THE CAR WITH DEALER AGAIN AS I HAVE A LIFETIME MAINTENANCE PLAN BUT IF THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THEY WONT FIX - RIGHT NOW THIS VEHICLE...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE OPERATED AS NORMAL AFTER RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE A FAILURE. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

MY WAS MAKING A LOUD KNOCKING SOUNDS WHILE INCREASING SPEED, THEN SOUND WOULD GO AWAY. TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP AN THEY STATED I DIDN'T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR. JUNE 2011, MY CAR STARTED STALLING WHILE AT STOP LIGHT, NOW MY CAR IS WANTING TO STALL WHILE I'M DRIVING AROUND 50MPH. DASH LIGHTS ALSO FLICKER ON AND OFF. CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP STATES THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR SINCE IT'S NOT GIVING THEM CODES BUT RECOMMEND I REPLACE THE ENGINE. I'VE BEEN READING REVIEWS OF THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR COMPANY AND THERE CARS. HOW ARE THEY NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL THESE MOTORS PEOPLE ARE HAVING TO REPLACE, I THINK THEY SHOULD HAVE TO FIX THESE PROBLEMS AN NOT GET AWAY WITH IT. *TR

2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON AND CAR CANNOT ACCELERATE STALLS ALMOST TO ALMOST TO A COMPLETE STOP... ONLY TURNING OFF THE CAR RESETS THIS LIGHT FOR WHO KNOWS HOW LONG IT JUST HAPPENS AND IS VERY DANGEROUS...THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEBODY GETS SERIOUSLY HURT... *TR

I HAVE A 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING TOURING. I BOUGHT IT USED IN JUNE 2010. STARTING IN SEP 2010 IT STARTED HAVING ISSUES, (I.E., ENGINE SHUT OFF AT LOW SPEED OR WHEN GAS TANK WAS AT 1/4 TANK, ENGINE WOULD ACT AS IF WAS GOING TO STALL WHEN SITTING AT A STOP SIGN/LIGHT THEN WOULD LURCH FORWARD SUDDENLY, AND BRAKE LIGHT KEPT COMING ON). I HAD THE O2 SENSORS REPLACED, ENGINE LIGHT WENT OUT FOR A COUPLE WEEKS AND CAME BACK ON. MECHANIC THEN CHANGED WIRING HARNESS. THIS TIME LIGHT WAS OUT FOR ABOUT A MONTH OR 2 BUT NOW WILL NOT TURN OFF EVEN THOUGH THE MECHANIC COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH EITHER THE SENSORS OR THE WIRING HARNESS. NOW THEY SUGGEST REPLACING THE ENGINE BRAIN WHICH AT THIS TIME IS FINANCIALLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME. I TOOK THE CAR TO A CHRYSLER DEALER SHOP WHEN THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAM ON...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL INTERMITTENTLY WHEN DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS OR WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A COMPLETE STOP. ONCE RESTARTED, THE VEHICLE WOULD PERFORM AS NORMAL. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND THE CONTACT WAS AWAITING A SERVICE APPOINTMENT FOR DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 69,000 AND THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 67,500.

MY SEBRING STALLS WHEN I COME TO A STOP OR AM TRAVELING AT LOW SPEEDS. THE CAR HAS STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS AND IS OBVIOUSLY VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. THE CAR ADDITIONALLY LUNGES AT LOW SPEEDS OR WHEN I ACCELERATE. THE SEATBELT LIGHT ON THE DASH GOES ON AND OFF SPORADICALLY. I HAVE DETERMINED THROUGH PERSONAL INVESTIGATION THE WIRE CONNECTION FOR THE SEATBELT LIGHT IS UNDER THE DRIVER SEAT AND IT DOESN'T ALWAYS MAKE A GOOD CONNECTION. WHEN THE CONNECTOR IS TOUCHED THE LIGHT WILL GO OFF AND ON SO THAT TELLS ME THAT THE CONNECTOR HAS A SHORT AND IS FAULTY. A PLASTIC PART IN THE GEAR SHIFT HAS BROKEN AND MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SHIFT WITHOUT MANIPULATION WITH A SCREW DRIVER, AND THERE IS A LOUD CLICKING SOUND THAT COMES OUT OF THE AIR CONDITION VENT/DUCT WHEN THE AC IS TURNED ON. I HAVE OWNED MANY...

SINCE WE'VE OWNED THE CAR ITS STALLS OUT A FEW TIMES A WEEK AND MORE LIKELY WHEN ITS RAINING, WHENEVER U GO TO STOP OR SIT IT STALLS OUT, THE WORST WAS WE WERE AT A YELLOW LIGHT AND THE CAR STALLED IN THE INTERSECTION,I'VE BEEN READING OTHER COMPLAINTS ONLINE AND IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS NO CLUE HOW TO FIX THE ISSUE. *TR

2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING. CONSUMER STATES ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT REASON WHILE DRIVING, SLOWING DOWN OR MAKING A TURN. *TGW

THE CAR HAD A NEW SET OF SPARK PLUGS AND A TRANSMISSION SERVICE AT 60,000 MILES. THE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN AT FREEWAY SPEEDS WHEN IT LOST POWER AND THEN WAS STUCK IN SECOND GEAR. IT WAS TOWED TO A CHRYSLER DEALER WHERE THEY SERVICED THE TRANSMISSION BELIEVING THAT WAS THE PROBLEM, BECAUSE THE OBDII SYSTEM REPORTED NO CURRENT OR STORED ERROR CODES. THEY RETURNED THE CAR AND STATED THAT IT WAS RUNNING ROUGH AND SHOULD HAVE A TUNE UP. THE CAR WAS DRIVEN ABOUT 180 MILES AT FREEWAY SPEEDS WHEN IT AGAIN LOST POWER AND WAS STUCK IN SECOND GEAR. THIS TIME THE CAR WAS DRIVEN ALONG THE SHOULDER TO THE NEXT OFF RAMP AT WHICH TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO ANOTHER CHRYSLER DEALER WHERE THE OBDII CODES SHOWED THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND AN OXYGEN SENSOR HAD FAILED. THE DEALER REPLACED...

CAR STALLS, ENGINE STUTTERS AND HESITATES WHEN AT A STOP, TURNING OR GOING AROUND A BEND AT 30 MPH. WHEN INITIALLY STEPPING ON THE GAS RPMS WILL DROP THEN SURGE (~2000 RPM). ALMOST HIT A CAR IN A PARKING LOT ON ONE OCCASION BECAUSE OF A SURGE. ALSO, THE CAR STUTTERED AND JERKED ON THE HIGHWAY.

THE RADIO WILL CHANGE STATIONS ON IT OWN. THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN REPLACED OR REPAIRED 3 TIME IN THE FIRST 25,000 MILES. THE SUSPENSION MAKES A GRINDING NOISE UPON TURNING.

I HAVE 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING THAT STALLS ON ME WHILE I AM DRIVING. JUST LAST WEEK I WAS YIELDING ONTO I95 AND THAT CAR SHUT OFF, IT ALMOST CAUSE A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER SHIP AND THEY CLAIM THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. I KNOW THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG BECAUSE I HAVE READ ALOT OF CONSUMER REVIEWS ON THIS CAR AND ALOT OF PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. *TR
