2007 Chrysler Sebring

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING. WHEN THE CONTACT APPROACHED A TRAFFIC LIGHT, ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE AND CAUSED IT TO SPIN TWICE. THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED WITHOUT AIR INSIDE OF THE THEM, ALLOWING THE CONTACT'S CHEST TO STRIKE THE STEERING WHEEL AND DRIVER SIDE WINDOW. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL AND SUSTAINED TRAUMA TO THE HEAD, A CONCUSSION, A STRAINED NECK, AND BACK PAIN INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 93,608.

IN DECEMBER OF 2011 I TOOK MY CAR INTO MOSS BROS. CHRYSLER OF SAN BERNARDINO DUE TO THE AIR BAG LIGHT FOR THE DRIVERS SEAT GOING ON AND OFF. THEY CHECKED THE PROBLEM OUT AND DETERMINED THAT WHEN THE DRIVERS SEAT IS ALL THE WAY BACK THAT THE SEAT ADJUSTER SPRING IS BROKE AND DAMAGED WIRING TO THE SEAT TRACK SENSOR. RECOMMENDED TO REPLACE SEAT ADJUSTER AND WIRING. THESE ARE THE WORDS USED BY THE MECHANIC AS TO WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. CHRYSLER WAS CONTACTED WITH A REQUEST TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM AT THEIR COST, AND THAT WAS DENIED. I HAVE MADE CONTACT WITH CHRYSLER CONCERNING THIS MATTER AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING, THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM REPAIRED. OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS THE PROBLEM HAS COME AND GONE. NOW THE PROBLEM HAS COME BACK UP AGAIN. I AM IN FEAR OF THE AIR BAG GOING OFF ON ITS OWN OR NOT OPERATING PROPERLY IF INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. I AM TIRED OF PURSUING THIS MATTER WITH CHRYSLER AND FINALLY JUST GAVE UP. AFTER TALKING TO A MECHANIC FRIEND OF MINE HE TOLD ME TO CONTACT YOUR AGENCY TO SEE IF YOU CAN GET ME SOME SORT OF SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM. RIGHT NOW I AM HAVING THE AIR BAG LIGHT PROBLEM DAILY AND AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY AND OTHERS THAT MAY BE IN MY CAR WITH ME. I DO HOPE THAT YOU ARE ABLE TO HELP ME GET THIS PROBLEM TAKEN CARE OF. I CAN NOT AFFORD TO PAY THE $1000.00 PLUS DOLLARS THAT I WAS QUOTED FOR THE REPAIR. I AM A DISABLED SENIOR CITIZEN LIVING ON JUST MY SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY AND DO HOPE THAT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM FOR ME. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME CONCERNING THIS MATTER AND I DO LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I HAVE A 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING LIMITED AND WHEN I TAKE MY KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION AND OPEN THE DRIVERS DOOR IT STILL INDICATES ON THE DASH THAT THE KEY IS IN THE IGNITION, THEREFORE CAUSING MY KEY FOBS TO NOT WORK AS WELL. I CANNOT SET MY ALARM ON MY CAR BECAUSE THE KEY FOBS ARE NOT WORKING AND I HAVE TO SIT IN THE CAR FOR 30-60 SECONDS WAITING FOR THE DASH TO STOP INDICATING THE KEY IS STILL IN THE IGNITION SO I CAN LOCK THE CAR DOORS. IT IS A BIG HASSLE AND INCONVENIENCE. *TR

DRIVING SOUTH, FROM MICHIGAN, HAD DRIVEN APPROX. 600 MILES OF A 700+ MILE TRIP, VEHICLE STARTED "CHUGGING" AT 70MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, DECELERATING, UNABLE ACCELERATE, THIS WAS NOT IN AN AREA OF DIFFERING ELEVATIONS, IT WOULD ALMOST STALL THEN SURGE, THEN REPEAT. CRUISE CONTROL WAS NOT BEING USED AT THAT TIME DUE TO HEAVY TRAFFIC. PULLED THE VEHICLE OFF THE HIGHWAY, INTO A STORE PARKING LOT, SHUT IT OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES, RESTARTED AND NO FURTHER PROBLEMS UNTIL TODAY WHEN DRIVING FOR LESS THAN 15 MINUTES, ON THE HIGHWAY AT 60MPG, HEAVY TRAFFIC, IT BEGAN AGAIN. AGAIN, IT WAS PULLED OVER SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED WITH NO FURTHER INCIDENTS TODAY. YOU PEOPLE NEED TO DO SOMETHING TO FIX THIS. SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE FATALLY INJURED. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE EXPERIENCING THIS SAME ISSUE. *TR
