2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING Unknown Or Other Problems

CHRYSLER ISSUED A RECALL BULLETIN ON AUG 30, 2010 "K16 A/T SHIFT INTERLOCK LEVER SPRING"- THE TRANSMISSION GEAR SHIFT LEVER INTERLOCK SPRING RETAINER HOOK MAY BREAK RESULTING IN THE INABILITY TO MOVE THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER OUT OF THE "PARK" POSITION. ALTHOUGH THEY REPLACED THE SHIFTER LOCK SPRING ON MY VEHICLE ON SEPT 2011, THIS REPLACED SPRING IS STILL FRAGILE AND DOES NOT ADDRESS THIS DEFECT RESULTING IN THE REPLACED PART BEING DAMAGED AGAIN IN 2020. REQUESTING NHTSA TO RE-REQUEST CHRYSLER TO REPAIR THIS SPRING FOR VEHICLES THAT WERE REPAIRED BUT ARE NOW RE-AFFECTED AGAIN DUE TO LACK OF DUALITY OF THE REPLACEMENT PART. *TR

MY CAR STALLS WHEN I AM STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. NO LIGHTS OR WARNINGS, JUST STALLS.

VERY MAJOR PROBLEM. ON A COLD START, IF THE CAR WAS OFF FOR AT LEAST 6 HOURS, IT CRANKS AND CRANKS AND CRANKS FOR ABOUT 8 SECONDS BEFORE STARTING, WHEN IT DOES START, IT REVS ALL THE WAY TO 2500 RPMS BY ITSELF AND SLOWLY GOES DOWN. IF I TRY TO PUT IT IN DRIVE BEFORE IT STOPS REVVING, THE RPMS GO UP AND DOWN BY THEMSELVES AND MY ETC LIGHT STARTS FLASHING AND I AM UNABLE TO CONTROL THE RPMS. I THEN HAVE TO TURN OFF THE CAR AND START IT AGAIN TO STOP THE CAR SPASMS. 50% WHEN I START IT AND LET IT STOP REVVING BEFORE SHIFTING TO DRIVE, IT GOES DOWN TO 1000 RPMS AND I'M GOOD TO GO. THE OTHER 50% OF THE TIME, IT FLASHES THE ETC LIGHT AND STUTTERS AND I MUST KEEP RESTARTING THE CAR TO BE ABLE TO SAFELY DRIVE IT....

THE DOOR LOCK . THE PIECE THAT POP'S UP AND DOWN . IF YOU HAVE THE WINDOW DOWN AND GOT YOUR RESTING ON THE DOOR WHEN YOU START DOWN THE ROAD AND THE DOORS LOCK AUTOMATICALLY THE PIECE THAT MOVES UP AND DOWN WHEN IT GOES DOWN IT WILL PINCH YOUR SKIN BAD AS IT TRYS TO PULL YOUR SKIN DOWN IN THE HOLE. ON BOTH SIDES OF THE FRONT DOORS. BAD ENOUGH TO BRING YOUR SKIN. IT REALLY HURTS. I HAVE NEVER HAD A CAR TO DO THAT. ITS NOT JUST ME OTHER PEOPLE HAVE DROVE THE CAR AND SAYS THE SAME THING. AFTER A FEW HUNDRED TIMES I REMEMBER TO WATCH FOR IT. I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING TO GET IT NOT TO DO THAT. THE ONLY WAY I SEE IS CUT THE PIECE OFF BUT THAT WOULD BE UNSAFE. I DON'T THINK THE PIECE COMES OFF IN A...

HEATER ONLY BLOWS HOT ON DRIVERS SIDE. ALL ACTUATORS ARE FUNCTIONING. NO HEAT COMING THROUGH PASSENGER SIDE DEFROST IS DANGEROUS IN COLD WEATHER. HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING OR SITTING STILL.

TO NHTSA I JUST PURCHASE A 2007 CHRYSLER SABRING. I TOOK MY DAUGHTER AND MYSELF OUT TO DINNER THAT EVENING AND ENJOYED OUR NIGHT AS WE GOT BACK IN THE CAR AN START HEADING HOME JUST AS I GOT ON THE FREEWAY I SUDDENLY REALIZE THAT THE INTERIOR DASHBOARD LIGHT WENT OUT AND IT IS NOT TURNING ON . I WAS UNABLE TO SEE THE SPEED THERMOMETER. I PULLED OVER AND TOOK A UBER HOME. I LOOK ONLINE REGARDS TO THIS PART IT IS CALLED INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. FROM WHAT I READ ONLINE THIS PART GOES OUT ALL THE TIME ON THIS VEHICLE. UNABLE TO SEE WHAT SPEED I'M GOING.I CANNOT DRIVE PLEASE HELP TO HAVE THIS PART FIXED REPAIR OR REPLACE THE INSTIGATE CLUSTER (INTERIOR LIGHTS) ALL OTHER INTERIOR LIGHTS LIKE THE RADIO HEATER/AC PANEL LIGHTS WORKS. I THANK GOD THATTHE TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY WAS NOT HAPPY OR BUSY...

I HAVE RESEARCHED AND SEVERAL OF THESE CARS HAVE THIS ISSUE. I BOUGHT MY CAR USED AUGUST 2018,I LOVE THIS CAR...BUT.. THE DASH LIGHTS HAVE NEVER WORKED!! SO, IF YOU DRIVE MY CAR AT DARK YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW FAST YOU ARE DRIVING!! PLEASE WON'T YOU FIX THIS? THIS IS A COSTLY REPAIR, THAT IS TOO WELL KNOWN FOR THESE CARS AND MAKES IT VERY DANGEROUS!!! ALSO, THE CRUISE IS AFFECTED AND DOES NOT WORK AS WELL.PLEASE FIX FOR ME.

SHIFTER HAD TO BE REPLACED WITHIN TWO YEARS, THIS IS THE SECOND SHIFTER. STUCK IN PARK

I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT MY AIRBAG LIGHT COMING ON 1-2 TIMES A MONTH. DOES THAT MEAN THE AIR BAGS MAY SUDDENLY DEPLOY WHILE I AM SITTING AT A LIGHT, OR NOT DEPLOY WHEN INVOLVED IN A CRASH? MY SECOND CONCERN IS THAT MY DASHBOARD LIGHTS STARTED DIMMING AND EVENTUALLY WENT OUT ON THEIR OWN. I CANNOT DRIVE AT NIGHT ANY MORE.I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND THINKING IT WAS A SIMPLE FUSE PROBLEM. NO, IT HAS TO DO WITH THE MECHANIC REMOVING THE DASHBOARD AND GOING INTO THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER BOX AND REPLACING SIMETHING IN THERE. I HAVE BEEN QUOTED $350.00-TO 375.00 DOLLARS.CANNOT AFFORD THAT. MY NEW PROBLEM: DRIVING HOME, GETTING READY TO BACK UP MY DRIVE WAY, THE CAR IS RUNNING HOT, WHEN I WENT TO SHIFT FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE,THE CAR CUT OFF.HAD A HARD TIME TAKING THE CAROUT OF REVERSE TO PARK. LIKE IT WAS...

THE CAR WILL STOP SUDDENLY WHILE DRIVING I'VE BEEN TOLD ITS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE IN THE TRANSMISSION, BUT I SEE FROM THE RECALLS THAT CHRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT THESE ISSUES YET THESE CARS ARE STILL BEEN SOLD AND DRIVEN EVEN THOUGH THEY CAN HAVE VERY DANGEROUS CONSEQUENCES. THE DOORS LOCKS AND UNLOCKS ON THEIR OWN, THE LIGHTS FLICKER. THE CAR WILL ALSO WHILE IN PARK JERK AND REV AS IF SOMEONE IS HITTING THE GAS EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE NOT, THIS ALSO HAPPENS WHEN IN DRIVE AND MY FOOT IS ON THE BREAK

IT'S STOPS WHILE DRIVING,BUT THE RADIO STILL IS PLAYING DURING THE MANY TIMES THIS HAD HAPPENED . ON BOTH CITY STREET AND TURNING CORNERS.

TRANSMISSION LOCKED IN PARK AND DASHBOARD SAID NEUTRAL. CHRYSLER STATED I NEED A SHIFTER AND SHIFTER CABLE. PARTS AND LABOR TOTALS $698. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND SEEMS TO BE COMMON WITH CHRYSLER VEHICLES. SHOULD BE RECALL. WHEN PARKING MY VEHICLE.

TAKATA RECALL MY ETC LIGHT FLASHES AND YOU CANT ACCELERATE THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT TO GO OFF IS TURN CAR OFF THEN BACK ON . I'VE PUT NEW THROTTLE BODY AND ECM ON IT BUT STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM. HELP IF YOU HAVE ANY ADVICE

AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHT CONSTANTLY BEEPS AND STAYS ON FOR PERIODS OF TIME. WHEN I'M ON THE ON-RAMP ENTERING A HIGHWAY AND DRIVING IN A CURVE THE BRAKE INDICATOR LIGHT COMES ON. SOMETIMES IT COMES ON WHILE DRIVING ON A FLAT SURFACE. SINCE I'VE HAD THIS CAR, THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE PRESSURE HAS NEVER READ. IT JUST READS -- WHERE THE NUMBER SHOULD BE. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY CRANK POSITION SENSOR TWICE. I LOST ACCELERATION WHILE DRIVING.THE SECOND TIME I HAD TO REPLACE THE ELECTRICAL THROTTLE SOMETHING (ETC) AS WELL. NOW IT IS OUT A 3RD TIME. LUCKILY I WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY THIS TIME! PLEASE RECALL!

THE 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING TOURING CAR WAS LISTED IN THE CONSUMER MAGAZINES AS HAVING A STEERING AND DRIVING FEEL ISSUE. IT TENDS TO MAKE YOU OVER CORRECT LEFT AND RIGHT. IT IS VERY HARD TO DRIVE AND IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE ON SLIPPERY, RAIN, WET, LIGHT SNOW SURFACES. ON DRY SURFACES THERE IS ALREADY THE ISSUE OF TRYING TO GO STRAIGHT WITHOUT OVERCORRECTING . THERE A LACK OF ROAD FEEL AND PLENTY OF BODY ROLL LIKE A 1970 OR 1980 MERCEDES . I OWN A 2007 2.7 TOURING 6 CYLINDER CHRYSLER SEBRING NOW FOR 4 YEARS AND I HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUES FROM THE FIRST DAY I BOUGHT IT NEW. THE DEALERS SAY THEY CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. WHY IN 2007 THE CONSUMER MAGAZINE WHO TESTED THE CARS WROTE IT UP AS HAVING A BAD STEERING FEEL THAT THEY WERE UNCOMFORTABLE WITH, AND THEY WERE EXPERT...

I HAVE A 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING. WHILE I WAS DRIVING TO WORK, THE CAR IDLED DOWN AND WAS ABOUT TO CUT OFF, AS WHEN I STOPPED ON A RED LIGHT THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. I HAD TO TURN THE IGNITION KEY TO "OFF" AND TURNED IT BACK ON. ALSO, THE AIRBAG LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON AND OFF. WHAT IS WRONG!? ANY RECALLS ON THESE YET?

MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE. THE LATEST ONE IS THE MOST SERIOUS. A FAULTY ABS SENSOR CAUSE THE BRAKES TO OPERATE ABNORMALLY. THE ABS LIGHT MAY COME ON THEN GO OFF AND (PERIODICALLY GOES ON AND OFF). REGARDLESS OF THE LIGHT STATUS, THE ABS SYSTEM RANDOMLY ENGAGES AND DOES NOT ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO STOP IN A SAFE MANNER. THE ABS WHEN ENGAGED RESISTS THE DRIVER FROM APPLY PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE RESULT IS THE CAR NOT STOPPING. LUCKILY I WAS GOING SLOW AND THERE WAS NO ONE AROUND OTHER WISE THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT. THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON, RESISTED MY BRAKING FORCE THEN WENT OFF AND ALLOW THE BRAKES TO ENGAGE AS ANTICIPATED. THE ROADS WERE NORMAL, DRY AND FREE OF DEBRIS/ LOOSE FILL. THIS HAPPENED TWICE OVER TWO DAYS. ON THE SECOND DAY I PARKED THE CAR AND LET IT SIT UNTIL IT'S...
