Problems with 2007 Chrysler Sebring ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Air bag warning light intermittently comes on. moving the seat will sometimes cause it to go off. recall #07v240000 describes this problem but smith auto plex in american fork, utah (where i purchased the car) refuses to do anything about it. *js

Purchased a 2007 chrysler sebring on september 2007 (used). i was not notified of the two recalls (radiator fan connector and tire pressure connector) both causes fire. on june 21, 2008 my vehicle caught fire. it was totaled. chrysler stated they would give me a rental. however, even after the investigators and engineers stated that the fire was due to the recalls, they still have not given me a rental vehicle as stated. not to mention be very rude. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 chrysler sebring. the contact attempted to release the trunk of the vehicle, but there was a malfunction with the trunk release mechanism. she then attempted to use the keyless device to open the trunk, but it also failed to operate. within two to three minutes, the vehicle began to move. there were no occupants in the vehicle. the driver side door was ajar and was dragged 10 to 15 feet. the vehicle continued to drift and crashed into the porch of a nearby residence. the porch steps were damaged. a police report was filed. the insurance company towed the vehicle and the cause of the failure has not yet been determined. the current and failure mileages were 28,000.

While driving the car will stall either at a stop or while moving. the airbag light on dash continues to come on. the flashers randomly start flashing while driving. 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 had the car in at the dealership service dept at least a dozen times. radio has been replaced but continues to change on its own. airbag switch has been replaced, but continues to appear on dash. service states that computer cannot read errors, and puts car on road test. *tr

I bought my 2007 chrysler sebring brand new april 2007. after about a year (or less) and well under 20,000 miles the gas cap light would not go off, windshield wipers went off sporadically even in the "off" position, got stuck in park, fuel tank had to be replaced (which went out while i was driving), air bag light won't go off, etc. had all these problems fixed only to have many of them recur. they were all fixed under warranty. now after 36,000 miles and no warranty, the problems i have now are the windshield wipers still won't go off, my electric windows sometimes won't work at all (driver's side specifically), air bag light won't go off but occasionally when driver's seat is moved backward and forward but always returns, car will stall at times when pressing the gas pedal while driving. after the windshield wipers began going off again, took it to chrysler dealership in my town...they contacted chrysler to see if they would replace it again and they refused. all the recalls i read about that appear to pertain to my vehicle, chrysler says my vin is not a part of the recall (even though it's happening to my car too)! i will never buy another chrysler vehicle for myself, or anyone in my family again! problems with this car started early and never went away. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 chrysler sebring. whenever the contact starts the vehicle, the main headlights automatically illuminate. in addition, the windshield wipers have stopped working and the instrument panel lights are very dim. the failures occur simultaneously and intermittently. the vehicle was diagnosed by the dealer, but the failures still persist. the current mileage was 18,500 and failure mileage was 14,000.

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 chrysler sebring. whenever the contact drives the vehicle at a speed of 10mph the vehicle will suddenly shut off without warning. the vehicle was taken to the dealership where the contact had the alternator replaced, however the failure is still occurring. the contact has noticed the failure since purchasing the vehicle. the current and failure mileages were 56000. updated 05/07/10.*lj the consumer stated the dashboard lights would flicker. updated 08/26/10*jb

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 chrysler sebring. while stopped at a traffic light, the rpm's decreased to zero and the engine stalled. the gear was shifted into park and the vehicle was restarted. after it was restarted and the contact depressed the accelerator pedal, the vehicle hesitated for 15-20 seconds before accelerating. when it rains, the headlights and instrument panel lights would dim intermittently. the light switch was turned off and then back on. the dealer was unable to duplicate or repair the failures. the powertrain was unknown. the failure mileage was 16,000 and current mileage was 29,000. updated 03-19-08 *bf updated 03/19/08 *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 chrysler sebring. while driving 10 mph, the vehicle hesitated when attempting shift into second gear. the dealer stated that they repaired the failure however they did not informed the contact of the cause or the remedy. the same failure occurred the next day. the dealer was unable to diagnose the failure. the contact stated that she heard a beeping noise. the dealer stated that the seat belt sensor failed. as of october 9, 2007, the dealer had not repaired the failure. the contact stated the signal light blinks too fast. the dealer stated that turning light sensor failed. as of october 9, 2007, the dealer had not repaired the failure. the failure mileage was 42 and the current mileage was 4,300.

The vehicle stalls or runs rough whenever it is raining or high humidity. also the remote starting system acts up by not starting correctly or shutting off at different intervals after it starts. shutting off the engine sometimes after a minute and could stall after several minutes. it is never seems to have a pattern when these symptoms occur with starting with the remote or stalling when driving. the plugs have been replaced as well as the coils being checked on the plugs. the vehicle uses no spark plug wires so these would not apply or be an issue with these problems. this vehicle has done this since it was purchased new and only has 30,000 miles currently on it. it is a 2007 chrysler sebring with a 4 cylinder 2.4 l engine. i has been back to three different dealerships and all of them say it was not included in the recall h07. i do not understand this because according to the letters i copied off your website "all vehicles" had 100% defect that were manufactured from 3/7/06 - 1/24/08. i was never issued a recall letter from chrysler but the car has the same symptoms described in this recall. it now stalls very frequently whenever it is raining or damp outside. is there any way we can get chrysler to look into repairing this issue? *tr

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 service date. the service department diagnosed a faulty sensor with code c1044. they said it was due to rust. first this is a 2007 car, second if rust on a sensor is going to inhibit normal braking then the part is defective and or the design is defective. i was lucky some one else is not going to be. abs is designed to pump the brakes under certain conditions. i'm sure normal driving at 25 mph on a dry normal surface isn't one of them. even if the abs fails the operator should still be able to stop the car by applying manual force to the brake petal. this failure does not allow effective use of the brakes! second issue is the lights (both interior and exterior dimming) with audible surges in the climate control blower. the dealer says this is due to my remote starter even though this issue has been occurring well before the remote starter was involved. third issue is the rear window repeatedly coming out of track there were other issues with the brakes rotors warping and brake light coming on, gas cap light coming on, tire sensors
