2007 Chrysler Sebring

WHILE MY 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING WAS UNDER WARRANTY ATT AROUND 20000. MILES I REPORTED A NOISE/VIBRATION ON THE LEFT REAR WHEEL. THE DEALER FIXED SOMETHING BUT I CONTINUED TO HEAR NOISE. SO BEFORE WARRANTY WAS UP IN AUGUST 2008 I TOOK IT BACK AND THEY REPLACE THE LEFT REAR WHEEL BEARINGS. IN MARCH 2009 WHILE I WAS AT THE TIRE STORE TO PURCHASE TIRES THE SALESMAN THERE SAID MY LEFT REAR WHEEL WAS DANGEROUSLY READY TO FALL OFF. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID TO BRING IT RIGHT OVER AND THEY FIXED IT EVEN THOUGH IT WAS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY. NOW, ONE YEAR LATER MY LEFT REAR WHEEL BEARING IS GONE AGAIN. THE DEALER IS APPREHENSIVE ABOUT REPAIRING IT AND THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID WE SHOULD NOT DRIVE IT. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY IT IS GOING OUT ALL THE TIME IT HAS 60000. MILES ON IT AND NEEDS IT'S 4TH LEFT REAR WHEEL BEARING. NONE OF THE OTHER WHEELS ARE AFFECTED. PLEASE HELP NOW. *TR

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

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE PERIODICALLY. SHE WAS ALSO UNABLE TO SHIFT TO ANY GEAR DUE TO TRANSMISSION FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN INSPECTED NOR REPAIRED AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPAIRED. SHE HAD NOT SPOKEN WITH THE MANUFACTURER TO-DATE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 46,500. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 35,000.

THIS IS A 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING TOURING SEDAN WITH 2.7 L "FLEX-FUEL" ENGINE PURCHASED USED (ONE PRIOR OWNER IN WI) ON 05-22-09 WITH 31554MI. ACCORDING TO "CARFAX" THE ORIGINAL OWNER HAD REGULAR TIMELY MAINTENANCE DONE. ON 07-11-08 AT 21199MI THE FIRST COMPLAINT WAS MADE AT PURCHASING DEALERSHIP ABOUT ENGINE "STUTTER" OR "JITTER" AT 30MPH PARTICULARLY WHEN ENGINE WAS COLD. NO RECORD AS TO WHAT WAS SERVICED. ON 10-24-08 AT 25276MI THE EGR VALVE WAS REPLACED PER A CHRYSLER SERVICE BULLETIN. THEN ON 01-30-09 AT 27988MI CONCERNING THE SAME SORT OF "STUTTER" OR JITTER" COMPLAINT, A "CO-PILOT" WAS ATTACHED FOR 1 MONTH WHICH RECORDED NO FAULTS. THE VEHICLE WAS OFFERED FOR SALE ON 05-14-09. I HAVE NOTED THE SAME SORT OF PROBLEM SINCE MY PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE ON 05-22-09. WHEN COMING TO A SLOW OR STOP, PARTICULARLY IF THE ENGINE IS COLD (BUT NOT ALWAYS), THE RPM RISES TO OVER 2000, THE CAR "SURGES" AHEAD UNTIL I PRESS THE BRAKE HARDER. (THIS CONDITION CAUSES A MUCH HIGHER CHANCE OF A COLLISION WITH ANOTHER STOPPED CAR, PEDESTRIAN IN A CROSSWALK OR A STATIONARY OBJECT - LIKE A LIGHT POST IN A PARKING LOT.) SOMETIMES THE ENGINE WILL STOP AFTER THIS AND REQUIRE RESTARTING. ONE TIME I OBSERVED THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LAMP COME ON FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS AFTER THE "SURGE". I HAD THE CAR IN TO THE DEALERSHIP (TOYOTA) WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE CONCERNING THE "SURGING" PROBLEM. THEY CHECKED FOR SERVICE CODES (INCLUDING SOFT CODES) AND FOUND NONE. THEY WERE UNABLE TO PROCEED FROM THERE AND SUGGESTED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A CHRYSLER DEALER TO CONTINUE DIAGNOSIS. THIS WILL BE DONE AT THE EARLIEST AVAILABLE TIME. *TR

MY CAR LOST PRESSURE WITHOUT WARNING DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC ON THE INTERSTATE AND JUST CAME TO A STOP AND THE ENGINE WAS BARELY RUNNING EVENTHOUGH IT NEVER CUT OFF. IT WOULD CRANK FINE BUT WOULD NOT MOVE, NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU MASH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON , THEN BLINKED A FEW TIMES AND WENT BACK OUT. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED AND ABOUT 4 HOURS LATER, I WENT TO CHECK IT AGAIN AND IT STARTED BACK TO DRIVING FINE. I JUST NEW I WOULD GET SLAMMED INTO ON THAT INTERSTATE. PLEASE CHECK INTO THIS MATTER THANK YOU. *TR

WHEN BRAKING MODERATELY, THE FRONT WHEELS SHIMMY AND CAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL TO VIBRATE SO BADLY THAT YOU CAN NOT HOLD ON TO IT. COULD CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL AND AN ACCIDENT. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN WHEN BRAKING LIGHTLY OR HARD UNLESS YOU HAD ALREADY BEEN BRAKING MODERATELY. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WAS CAUSED BY WARPED ROTORS AND SINCE THIS WAS A COMPONENT OF THE BRAKE SYSTEM, IT WAS ONLY COVERED BY WARRANTY FOR 12 MONTHS/12,000 MILES. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN IN SERVICE FOR 17 MONTHS AND HAD 19,000 MILES ON IT. THIS COULD BE A REAL SAFETY HAZARD. I WOULD THINK THE WARRANTY WOULD COVER THE ROTORS, CALIPERS, AND BRAKE LINES BUT NOT THE DISK PADS OR SHOES. ROTORS SHOULD NOT WARP IN 17 MONTHS OR 19,000 MILES. *TR

INTERMITTENT ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATE DURING DRIVE PAVEMENT CONDITIONS. HAVE TAKEN THIS TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAY THIS IS NORMAL. FOUND REAL NOTICE (CAMPAIGN 06V493000). APPARENTLY THEY STILL CAN NOT GET THIS CORRECTED WITH THIS RECALL. THE DEALERSHIP HAS HAD THIS VEHICLE TWICE FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. WHEN THIS HAPPEN THE ABS ENGAGES AND IT ALMOST PULLED ME OFF THE ROAD IT WAS BRAKING SO HARD! *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHAKES. THE BRAKES FAIL TO WORK PROPERLY AND FEEL AS IF THEY ARE TAPPING ON SOMETHING WHEN THE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. WHEN THE CONTACT TURNS THE VEHICLE, THERE IS A RUBBING SENSATION. IN ADDITION, THE CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT WORK. THE CONTACT COULD NOT CONTROL THE VEHICLE BECAUSE IT ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN.

THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY DUE TO THE RECALL THAT WAS ISSUED. THE VEHICLE WILL ONLY BE REPAIRED AT THE CONTACT'S EXPENSE.
