AIR BAG LIGHT HAS COME ON INTERMITTENTLY FOR THE LAST 3 YEARS. TAKEN TO SEVERAL INDEPENDENT MECHANICS WITH NO REASON IDENTIFIED OR RESOLUTION.

THE DEFECTIVE INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM) WOULD CAUSE MY VEHICLE TO DO STRANGE THINGS. LIKE LOOSE COMPLETE POWER WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY OR IN TOWN. ALSO EFFECTS WHERE STARTER CRANKS BUT WONT START. BATTERY WOULD BE DRAINED FOR NO REASON. I HAVE THE VEHICLE IN THE SHOP RIGHT NOW GETTING THAT PART REPLACED. I ASKED THEM WHAT DID THEY FIND OUT ABOUT MY VEHICLE AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS OF THEM WORKING ON IT AND THEY STATED THEY WHERE UNSURE STILL WORKING ON IT. THEY GAVE ME A CALL BACK A FEW DAYS LATER AND THEY STATED THAT THE ISSUE IS THE TIPM AND THAT THEY GOT THAT INFO FROM CHRYSLER BECAUSE THEY EVENTUALLY HAD TO CONTACT THEM TO SEE IF THEY KNEW WHAT THE ISSUE WAS AND THAT THEY TOLD THEM THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE IN CHRYSLER VEHICLES MADE FROM 2007 TO 2014. TO ME THIS PART ON CHRYSLER VEHICLES SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR 0NE IT IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR YOUR VEHICLE TO LOOSE POWER WHILE DRIVING AND ALSO THE FACT THAT THEY KNOW THIS IS AN ISSUE.

I HAVE A 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING AUTOMATIC 4 CYLINDER. WHEN DRIVING THE CAR INTENDS TO STUTTER SOMEWHAT. ESPECIALLY IN THE RAIN.

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 AND I TOLD THE GUY ABOUT ALL THE ISSUES. HE PULLED UP THE HISTORY AND INFORMED ME THE CAR'S FORMER OWNER HAD SAME SHUT OFF ISSUES AT 16K MILES AND HAD A NEW ENGINE INSTALLED AT 20K MILES. CAR IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUES THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RESOLVED WITH NEW ENGINE BEING PUT IN. I'VE ALSO HAD TO HAVE THE BRAKES REPLACED AFTER OWNING THE CAR LESS THAN A YEAR. I'M AFRAID THE CAR SHUTTING OFF ON ME IS GOING TO GET ME KILLED AS I'VE JUST NEARLY MISSED GETTING INTO 2 ACCIDENTS WHEN THE ENGINE HAS SHUT OFF ON ME. *TR

WENT TO A PRIVATE REPAIR SHOP ON MONDAY, BUT HE SAID IF IT IS RUNNING OK, NOT TO DO ANYTHING. AGAIN IT HAPPENED ON 3/16/14 AS I WAS GOING ABOUT 60MPH. THE LIGHT CAME ON AND I COULD NOT GENERATE ANY MORE SPEED. I PULLED INTO A STORE AND TURNED OFF THE CAR. I WAITED ABOUT 5 MINUTES AND IT STARTED AND NO LIGHT. BEEN DRIVING FINE AGAIN.

Mar 27, 2014
WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY I LOST POWER TO MY CAR. IT WOULDN'T GO FASTER THAN 25-30 MPH EVEN WHEN I FLOORED IT. THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT STARTS BLINKING ON THE DASH. HAPPENED A COUPLE TIMES, ABOUT 5-6 MONTHS APART, AND I FOUND OUT THAT IF I TURNED MY CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT WOULD RUN JUST FINE AGAIN. RECENTLY BEGAN HAPPENING WHENEVER I DRIVE FOR MORE THAN ABOUT AN HOUR, REALLY DANGEROUS WHEN IT HAPPENS ON THE INTERSTATE. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED AND THEY SAID THAT THE COMPUTER NEVER REGISTERED ANYTHING AND THEY CAN'T TELL WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT UNLESS IT IS HAPPENING WHEN I BRING IT IN. NEVER HAPPENS WHEN I'M NEAR A REPAIR SHOP THOUGH. LOOKED IT UP ONLINE AND APPARENTLY PLENTY OF OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. FED UP WITH IT. *TR

THROTTLE BODY WENT BAD WHICH WAS VERY DANGEROUS AS MY SON WAS DRIVING CAR AND IT SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND MY SON WAS NEARLY HIT BY ANOTHER CAR. THE PLASTIC GEARS IN THIS PART SHOULD BE RECALLED AND FIXED BEFORE THERE IS A LARGE LAWSUIT AGAINST DODGE/CHRYSLER FOR A POORLY DESIGNED PART THAT SHOULD NOT BE PUT INTO VEHICLES!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START AND WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP WAS DEFECTIVE.

Jan 22, 2014
THE FUEL PUMP WENT ON MY CAR AND WHEN I BROUGHT IT TO THE REPAIR SHOP THEY STATED THAT THE WIRING AND CONNECTORS ON IT HAD BURNED UP, WHICH CAUSED A HOLE TO BE BURNED IN THE FUEL PUMP LINE. I'VE READ SEVERAL OTHER REPORTS OF THIS EXACT SAME THING HAPPENING AND IN SOME OF THOSE REPORTS THEY STATED THAT THIS WAS A FIRE HAZARD. I ALSO HAD TO PURCHASE A NEW HARNESS FOR THE FUEL PUMP SINCE THAT WAS ALL SCREWED UP AS WELL. *TR
Aug 08, 2013
FUEL PUMP CONNECTOR MELTED THOUGH AT THE GAS STATION AFTER A FILL UP. THE CAR STARTED BUT IMMEDIATELY STOPPED. FAILED TO START AFTER THAT. AFTER A TOW THE REAR SEAT WAS REMOVED AND THE FUEL PUMP CONNECTOR REMOVED. THE CONNECTOR WHEN REMOVED STILL CONTAINED THE PIN THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN MOLDED INTO THE FUEL PUMP. FUEL RUSHED OUT OF THE CONNECTOR, FELT VERY LUCKY IT WAS GAS AND NOT FUMES. IF THE TANK HAD NOT BE FULL A FIRE WOULD HAVE BEEN INEVITABLE BASED ON THE MELTED BLACK PLASTIC ON THE FUEL PUMP. *JS
Jul 04, 2012
THE INCIDENT: DURING FILL UP AT GAS STATION, AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF OF THE GAS PUMP OCCURRED WHEN TANK WAS FULL. HOWEVER, GAS OVERFLOWED FROM UNDERNEATH FILL LOCATION (ABOVE WHEEL WELL) AND LEAKED ALL OVER GROUND. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE THE CAR HAD 80,000 ON THE ODOMETER. I HAVE TRIED DIFFERENT WAYS OF PUMPING GAS INTO CAR, ALL WITH SAME RESULT OF OVERFLOW. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. *TR
Mar 07, 2012
I HAVE A 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING. RECENTLY WITHIN THE LAST YEAR THE CAR WOULD STALL AT STOP LIGHTS AND THEN LATER THIS WEEK WOULDN'T START. TOWED TO THE SHOP ONCE AND THE VEHICLE STARTED FOR THE SHOP AND WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. SO I DROVE THIS CAR THROUGHOUT THE WEEKEND AND HAD NO ISSUES WITH IT. MONDAY MORNING MY WIFE GOES TO GET IN THE CAR AND IT WOULDN'T START HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED BACK TO THE SHOP. THIS TIME PROBLEM NEVER WENT AWAY. MY SHOP WHERE I TOOK THE VEHICLE STARTED LOOKING INTO THE PROBLEM AND FOUND OUT THE FUEL PUMP CONNECTOR HAD MELTED CAUSING THE FUEL PUMP TO STOP WORKING. MY CONCERN IS THAT MELTING WIRES AND CONNECTORS RIGHT AROUND A FUEL SOURCE COULD CAUSE A DEADLY FIRE ALL IT NEEDED WAS A SPARK FOR THE CAR TO IGNITE WITH A CHILD IN THE BACK SEAT. I KNOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME STALLING ISSUES AND I FEEL THIS IS SOMETHING THAT POSSIBLY NEEDS INVESTIGATED BEFORE SOMEONE LOSES THEIR LIVES FOR A FAULTY WIRING ISSUE WITH THESE CARS. *TR

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

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 VEHICLES THROUGH THE YEARS AND THIS IS THE FIRST CAR THAT I HAVE PURCHASED THAT I AM ACTUALLY SCARED FOR MY FAMILY AND I TO DRIVE ANYWHERE. I WILL NEVER AGAIN PURCHASE A CHRYSLER, BUT NOT JUST BECAUSE OF THE ABOVE BUT BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOT GAINED MY TRUST. THIS COMPANY SHOULD TRY A NEW CAMPAIGN OF TRYING TO GAIN THE TRUST OF THE CONSUMER, AND THEY COULD START BY ACCEPTING THE FACT THAT THEY HAVE MANY FAULTY VEHICLES THAT NEED TO BE RECALLED AND REPAIRED, THIS IS NOT ONLY GOOD SOUND ADVICE THIS WOULD BE GOOD BUSINESS PRACTICE. *TR

I OWN A 2007 SEBRING (VIN [XXX]) WITH APPROXIMATELY 56,700 MILES. I PURCHASE THE VEHICLE IN NOV. 2008 CONSIDERED NEW WITH 29,000 MILES FROM SATURN OF FREMONT, CA. THE CAR IS DRIVEN PRIMARILY BY MY WIFE TO AND FROM WORK AND TO DROP OFF AND PICK UP THE CHILDREN. AFTER A RECENT OIL CHANGE ON MAY 2, 2010, MY FAMILY AND I NOTICED AN EXTREMELY LOUD ENGINE NOISE. FOR THE FIRST WEEK AFTER THE OIL CHANGE, THE CAR WOULD START FINE BUT THE NOISE BECAME WORSE. THE ENGINE BEGAN TO LOOSE PRESSURE WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND AS OF TODAY, WILL NOT START AT ALL. I VISITED A CHRYSLER AUTOMALL DEALERSHIP ON SOMMERSVILLE ROAD IN ANTIOCH, CA ON SATURDAY MAY 15. I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY A 130.00 DIAGNOSTIC FEE AS THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT THE VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AS I WAS TOLD AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE THAT THE WARRANTY WOULD BE EXTENDED TO 3 YEARS/60,000 MILES. THE TECHNICIAN MENTIONED THAT THE NOISE WAS A RADIATOR OR FAN MOTOR. THEN I CHECKED THE RECALLS FOR 2007 SEBRINGS AND FOUND TWO RECALLS (NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBERS: 08VI52000 AND 07V473000 REGARDING ENGINE AND ELECTRICAL MATTERS, ONE OF WHICH HAS THE SAME CONCERN THAT I HAVE. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND SPOKE TO BRITTANY WHO SAID MY VIN DID NOT HAVE ANY CONCERNS SO THE COMPANY COULD NOT HELP ME. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

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 EASY WAY.

MY INSTRUMENT PANEL HAS NO BACKGROUND LIGHTS, THEY DO T TURN ON AT ALL. I TOOK IT INTO A LOCAL SHOP AND THEY SAID ALL THE FUSE ARE GOOD AND THEY THINK IT MIGHT BE A MODGULAR (BATTERY) THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF OTHER OWNERS HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR SEBRING AS WELL.

I'VE PUT 2 STARTERS ON MY 2007 CHYSLER SEBRING IN THE LAST 3 MONTHS. THE CAR STARTS GREATS THEN WHILE DRIVING IT STARTS TO MAKE THIS LOUD GRINDING NOISE AND ONCE YOU CUT THE CAR OFF IT JUST CLICKS. THIS TIME IT DID THE SAME THING BUT THIS TIME WHEN I CUT THE CAR OFF IT KEPT RUNNING AND I HAD TO GO TURN THE IGNITION SWITCH OFF AGAIN AND OF COURSE IT WON'T START.

INTERIOR DASH LIGHTS FLICKER ON AND OFF AT NIGHT, SOMETIMES REMAING OFF. AS SUCH, SPEEDOMETER ISN'T ILLUMINATED, AS WELL AS OTHER GUAGES. I GOOGLED THIS CONDITION AND BY THE RESPONSES I SAW, THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM IN THE CHRYSLER SEBRING AND THERE SHOULD BE AN IMMEDIATE RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT FROM DIVERTING ATTENTION FROM THE ROAD TO THE DASH SITUATION. THIS HAPPENS IF THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED, MOVING, TURNING, ON A CITY STREET AND IN HIGHWAY CONDITIONS. IT HAPPENS WHEN TRAVELING ON SMOOTH PAVEMENT OR ROUGHER CONDITIONS. THE VEHICLE IS IN LIKE NEW CONDITION AND HAS NEVER BEEN WRECKED.

WE JUST BOUGHT A USED CAR, THIS CHRYSLER SEBRING, ON 3/28/19. MY DAUGHTER DROVE IT HOME IN THE DARK LAST NIGHT AND SAID THAT THERE WAS NO LIGHTING IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, I SEE THAT THIS OFTEN HAPPENS. HAPPENS WHEN VEHICLE IS STILL AND MOVING. I'M ASSUMING THIS HAPPENED TO THE PREVIOUS OWNERS.

WHEN TURNING ON THE HEADLIGHTS, THE DASH LIGHT (INSTRUMENT CLUSTER) WILL NOT COME ON RIGHT AWAY. IF/WHEN THE DASH LIGHT DOES TRY TO COME ON, IT FLICKERS AND BLINKS. THIS IS A HAZARD WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT AS YOU CANNOT SEE YOUR SPEED, GAS LIMIT OR ENGINE TEMPERATURE. *TR

HIGHWAY SAFETY THERE ARE MILLIONS OF AUTOS ON THE U.S. HIGHWAYS (AND AROUND THE WORLD), WITH HEADLIGHT LENSES THAT ARE FOGGY THAT IS, NO LONGER CLEAR. THE RESULT IS THAT THE LIGHT FROM THE HEADLIGHTS IS DISPERSED MORE WIDELY AND NOT FOCUSED FORWARD, FOR THE DRIVER TO SEE THE ROAD AHEAD. FOR DRIVERS GOING IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION, IT RESULTS IN BLINDING THEM. ALL OF THIS CAN CONTRIBUTE TO INCREASED TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS AND DEATHS. THE AUTO MANUFACTURERS HAVE BEEN ALLOWED TO GET AWAY WITH THIS TERRIBLE CAR DESIGN FAR TOO LONG. THEY MUST BE REQUIRED TO USE MATERIALS FOR THE HEADLIGHT LENSES, THAT WILL NOT PIT AND ABRADE OVER TIME, THUS RETAINING THE CLARITY OF ORIGINAL MANUFACTURE. JUST LOOK AROUND AT VEHICLES ON THE ROAD. THE PROCESS OF DETERIORATION BEGINS WHEN THE VEHICLE HITS THE ROAD FOR THE FIRST TIME. THE PLASTIC MATERIALS USED GRADUALLY ABRADE DUE TO WIND, MUD, SALT, ETC., ETC. WHILE THERE ARE PROCESSES THAT AUTO OWNERS CAN USE OR HAVE PERFORMED, TO POLISH THE LENSES AND REASONABLY RESTORE THE ORIGINAL CLARITY. FEW DO IT BECAUSE THEY EITHER DONT RECOGNIZE THE PROBLEM OR DO NOT WANT TO SPEND THE TIME/MONEY TO CORRECT IT. IF THE GOVERNMENT CAN REQUIRE SUCH SAFETY ITEMS AS SEAT BELTS AND AIR BAGS, IT CAN REQUIRE BETTER MATERIALS FOR HEADLIGHT LENSES AND SAVE LIVES. GO BACK TO GLASS THIS CONDITION DID NOT DEVELOP WITH THE OLD SEALED-BEAM HEADLIGHTS. GLASS CAN BE MOLDED TO ANY SHAPE DESIRED. THE MATTER SHOULD HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED YEARS AGO. THE NHTSA HAS BEEN NEGLIGENT IN NOT DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE. DONT WAIT!! WHILE I CANNOT SPECIFY A SPECIFIC DATE OF AN ACCIDENT OR VEHICLE RELATED TO THIS PROBLEM, I HAVE ENTERED BELOW, IN ORDER TO GET THIS MESSAGE DELIVERED. AS I SAID JUST LOOK AT CARS IN YOUR PARKING LOT, EVEN YOU OWN VEHICLE (UNLESS IT IS ONLY A COUPLE OF YEARS OLD) AND YOU WILL SEE WHAT I MEAN.

CAR HAS TMPS AND AIRBAG LIGHTS CONSTANTLY COMING ON FOR NO REASON - THEY STAY ON FOR DAYS OR WEEKS AND THEN SHUT OFF. BOTH CHRYLSER AND INDEPENDENT MECHANIC HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO DIAGNOSE. ALSO, ENGINE WILL LOSE ALL POWER WHILE IN OPERATION AT BOTH FREEWAY SPEEDS AND LOW RESIDENTIAL SPEEDS ALONG WITH AUTO-START RANDOMLY NOT WORKING. CHRYSLER AND INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WERE NOT ABLE TO DIAGNOSE. TRIED REPLACING ALTERNATOR AND STILL HAPPENED. REPLACED CRANK SHAFT SENSOR AFTER LOOKING AT ONLINE FORUMS OF SIMILAR STORES FROM OTHER CHRYSLER SEBRING OWNERS AND STILL OCCASIONALLY HAPPENS. AIRBAG LIGHT IS NOW BACK ON FOR NO REASON... AGAIN. I KNOW GM HAS BEEN HAVING NUMEROUS RECALLS YET MINE HAS NEVER BEEN INCLUDED IN RECALLS FOR BOTH MY MODEL AND OTHER MAKES/MODELS HAVING THESE ISSUES. IT IS INCREDIBLY SCARY DRIVING SPEEDS OF 75MPH TO LOSE ALL POWER. I HAVE TO PULL BRAKE, PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND SHUT OFF/RESTART. I AM CONSTANTLY FEARFUL OF IT HAPPENING AND GETTING INTO A CRASH THAT COULD BE FATAL. *TR

FIRST TWO COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN RECALLED AND SERVICED. SAID RECALLS WERE FOR # 1 ENGINE STALLING AND # 2 DRIVER AIRBAG UNDER SEAT SENSOR ILLUMINATING ON AND OFF ON DASH. EVEN AFTER THE SERVICE WAS PERFORMED FOR THE RECALLS, I STILL HAVE ENGINE STALLING DURING STOPS AND ON DECELERATION THE VEHICLE THREATENS TO STALL. I NEED TO KEEP GIVING GAS AND ON HUMID DAYS THAT IS INDICATIVE OF POSSIBLE RAIN THE THREAT IS MORE OFTEN. THE SECOND RECALL COMPLAINT THAT I AM STILL EXPERIENCING IS THE AIR BAG ILLUMINATOR ON DASH FOR THE DRIVERS SIDE GOES ON AND OFF AND THE WIRES UNDER THE DRIVERS SEAT ARE INVOLVED WHEN DRIVER SEAT MOVES FRONT OR BACK. STALLING IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT CAN CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH TO OCCUPANTS IN THIS CAR OR NEARBY CARS SHARING THE ROAD. ALSO THE AIR BAG SENSOR PROBLEM KEEPS ME IN FEAR THAT THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY WHEN NECESSARY OR WILL DEPLOY ACCIDENTALLY ON ITS OWN WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. I ALSO HAVE A COMPLAINT THAT THE CAR WHEN BRAKING FOR A STOP CONTINUED TO REV CAUSING ME TO USE THE EMERGENCY BREAK AND I HAD TO SHUT OFF THE CAR TO STOP THE CAR TOTALLY.I HAVE NOTICED THAT THIS ISSUE IS COMMON WITH OTHER PEOPLES COMPLAINT AND AN INQUIRY WOULD SEEM IMMINENT FOR SAFETY REASONS. THE DEALERSHIP KNOWING THE RECALLS HAVE NOT SECURED THE PROPER HANDLING OF MY VEHICLE'S SAFETY WANTS TO CHARGE A DIAGNOSTIC FEE OR A SERVICE FEE WHEN IT IS CLEAR THAT THE PROPER SERVICE WAS NOT RENDERED CAUSING RECALL MALFUNCTIONS TO THIS DATE. FOR THE TWO COMPLAINTS THAT HAVE RECALLS THAT I AM INQUIRING ABOUT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED TO THE DEALERSHIP ASAP FOR SERVICE AND I WOULD APPRECIATE THE OUTCOME OF THIS COMPLAINT IN WRITING. AS FOR THE ACCELERATOR PROBLEM I WOULD LIKE TO BE KEPT ABREAST IF A SAFETY ISSUE IS MANDATED FOR THE REPAIR OF THAT COMPLAINT. THANK YOU. *TR

IN THE PAST 3 YEARS THAT I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE EACH TIME IS RAINS AND/OR HUMID MY CAR WOULD STALL. I TOOK IT TO 6 DIFFERENT MECHANIC SHOPS AS WELL AS TO CHRYSLER DEALER NEAR PARMA, OH (THIS WAS DONE IN THE SPAN OF THREE YEARS). UNFORTUNATELY NO ONE WAS ABLE TO FIND OR TO FIX THE PROBLEM. IT SEEMS QUITE DANGEROUS AS MY CAR WOULD STALL AS IT IS RUNNING, WHILE I AM DRIVING (TALK ABOUT UNSAFE). I NOTICED THAT THE ISSUE WOULD SURFACE WHEN IT IS RAINING AND/OR VERY HUMID OUTSIDE. MY CAR WOULD START TO LOOSE POWER, A BIT OF A ENGINE HICCUP, AND THEN AS I APPROACH A STOP OR RED LIGHT, THE CAR WOULD STALL COMPLETELY. WHICH MEANS I NEED TO PUT IT IN PARK, AND RESTART THE ENGINE. CHRYSLER DEALER CHECKED IT AND SAID THERE IS "NO ISSUES" BUT ANY TIME IT RAINS I HAVE THIS PROBLEM. ALSO THEY CHECKED THE COMPUTER AND REPLACED SOME OTHER RECALLED ITEM, AND COMPUTER DOES NOT SHOW ANY ERRORS. HOW CAN ONE DRIVE A CAR THAT UNPREDICTABLY STALLS AND NO ONE, EVEN THE DEALER, IS ABLE TO LOCATE AND FIX THE PROBLEM?

ABOUT 6 OR 7 MONTHS AGO I BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH VEHICLE IT WOULD CRANK BUT NOT START. I WOULD HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC AND NOT FAULTY CODES WERE DISCOVERED. THIS HAPPENED ABOUT THREE OR FOUR TIMES UNTIL FRUSTRATED I PARKED THE VEHICLE AROUND THE FIRST OF FEBRUARY 2013 AND USED MY OTHER VEHICLE FOR SCHOOL. THE OTHER DAY I DECIDED TO HAVE THE VEHICLE LOOKED AT BY ANOTHER LOCAL DEALERSHIP NEAR MY HOME NOT THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP WERE PURCHASED MY DEALING WITH THE DEALERSHIP FOLKS ARE NOT POSITIVE OR BENEFICIAL TO ME. THE MECHANIC AT BUDDY RAYS AUTO CARE IN CANON CITY CHECKED THE VEHICLE AND TRACED THE PROBLEM TO A CONNECTION WIRING SYSTEM THAT WAS ATTACHED TO THE FUEL PUMP. FROM THEIR EXPLANATION THE VEHICLE WAS IN DANGER OF CATCHING FIRE IF THIS PROBLEM PERSISTED. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP IN AN ATTEMPT TO REPORT THIS MATTER AND THEY HAVE NOT ASSISTED TELLING ME INSTEAD THAT THE CAR HAD TO BE IN THEIR SHOP. BECAUSE OF THE DANGER POSED BY THIS PROBLEM I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE REPAIRED AT A COST OF 765.00 DOLLARS TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP, AND WIRING CONNECTORS PLUS LABOR. MY CONCERN FOR THIS CAR HAVING LESS THAN 100,000 MILES IN MY OPINION SHOULD NOT HAVE FACE THIS TYPE OF MALFUNCTION IN THE FUEL AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. *TR

THE CHRYSLER DEALER DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THE ISSUE THEY ONLY WANT YOU TO KEEP COMING BACK PAYING THE OUTRAGEOUS LABOR RATES. ONE REPAIR SHOP ALL BUT TOLD ME TO STOP COMING.

MY CHRYSLER SEBRING'S ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT GOES ON FOR A SECOND OR 2 AND THEN GOES BACK OFF RANDOMLY. THE CAR IDLES HIGH AND SEEM TO WANT TO STALL OUT. THE VEHICLE WILL GO INTO LIMP MODE WHEN THE ETC LIGHT IS SOLID AND WON'T GO MORE THAN 10-15MPH. THERE IS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND MECHANIC FOUND NO CODES TO TELL WHAT WAS WRONG. I HAVE BEEN ON THE FREEWAY OR CITY STREETS WHEN IT WILL RANDOMLY GO INTO LIMP MODE AND HAVE TO SAFELY MANEUVER AWAY FROM TRAFFIC AS VEHICLE SLOWS WITH NO RESPONSE FROM THE GAS PEDDLE. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS SAFETY PROBLEM AND NO ONE SEEMS TO BE ABLE TO FIX IT OR FIND THE SOURCE. I OBSERVED MANY OTHERS SPENDING HUNDREDS, IF NOT THOUSANDS, OF DOLLARS ON DIFFERENT SPECULATED PARTS THAT "MAY" CAUSE THIS TO HAPPEN. THE BEST SCENARIO AFTER PEOPLE REPLACED DIFFERENT PARTS WAS THAT THE VEHICLE WAS FINE FOR MAYBE A WEEK OR TWO BUT THE PROBLEMS CAME RIGHT BACK.

I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY. THE ETC LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TURNED CAR OFF, THEN BACK ON AND IT RAN FINE. IT HAS DONE THIS AT LEAST 30 TIMES SINCE. NOW MY ETC LIGHT BLINKS AND CAR WILL ONLY GO 10-20 MPH, SLOWS TO 5MPH GOING UP ANY GRADE. IDLE IS ROUGH AND IDLES BETWEEN 1500 AND 2000. SOMETIMES WHEN I FIRST START THE CAR IT WILL RUN OKAY FOR ABOUT 2-3 MINUTES THEN ETC LIGHT SUDDENLY COME ON, CAR DECELERATES AND I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT SEVERAL TIMES. NOW THE BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF AS DOES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THE DEALER DOES NOT KNOW WHAT IS WRONG. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL VEHICLE. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHRYSLER PRODUCT BECAUSE THEY WILL NOT FIX THIS PROBLEM, ALWAYS SAY THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. *TR

MY 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING (38000 MILES) HAD A COMPLETE BURN THROUGH ON THE FABRIC OF THE FRONT DRIVERS SEAT WHILE THE HEATED SEAT FUNCTION WAS TURNED ON. THE BURN THROUGH WAS ABOUT 12 INCHES LONG ON THE VERTICAL BACK PART OF THE SEAT. THIS COULD HAVE BURNED ME OR (SHOCKED ME?). SHOULDN'T THERE HAVE BEEN A FUSE THAT WOULD HAVE BLOWN OR SOME OTHER SAFETY FEATURE TO KEEP THIS HEATING ELEMENT FROM CONTINUING TO BURN THROUGH? I CALLED MY LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND SINCE MY WARRANTY RAN OUT IN APRIL, THEY WOULDN'T EVEN LOOK AT THE CAR UNLESS I GAVE THEM $89.00. THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED ON 12/23/10. THIS WHOLE BURN THROUGH ON THE SEAT HAPPENED WHILE THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF! *TR

I PURCHASED A 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING IN NOVEMBER OF 2007. ON THE WAY HOME I ENCOUNTERED ISSUES WITH THE HEATING AND DEFROSTING SYSTEM AND SUBSEQUENTLY RECEIVED A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE. SEVERAL MONTHS AFTER THE PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE I BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE PROBLEMS WITH THE ENGINE STALLING UPON COMING TO A NORMAL STOP OR SUDDEN STOP WITH THE ENGINE STALLING WITHOUT NOTICE. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES AND THEY CONTINUALLY TELL ME THEY CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR AND THE COMPUTER INDICATES NO FAULTS OR ERROR CODES. THE STALLING HAS OCCURRED AT LEAST 20-30 TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. THIS TUESDAY THE 19TH OF OCTOBER, IT STALLED YET AGAIN AND HAD TO BE TOWED OFF THE FREEWAY ON A RAINY DAY DURING RUSH HOURS. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER THAT DAY AND AGAIN THEY CHECKED IT AND SAID NOTHING REGISTERED ON THE COMPUTER. I ADVISED THEM OF THE OBVIOUS SAFETY HAZARD WITH THE CAR STALLING AND THEY AGREE BUT STILL INDICATE THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO BECAUSE NOTHING REGISTERS ON THE COMPUTER AND THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR NOR ALLOWING MY DAUGHTER TO DRIVE IT, IT STALLED ON HER ON THE FREEWAY, AND THE CHRYSLER DEALER I HAVE BEEN TAKING IT TO DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE INTERESTED IN DOING MUCH ABOUT IT EVEN TO A POINT ABOUT MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO OBTAIN A RENTAL WHILE THE CAR IS IN SERVICE. I HAVE ALSO CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY HAVE GIVEN ME A CASE NUMBER TO INVESTIGATE THE ISSUE. *TR

I've had to replace the battery in this 3 times. Alternator 1. And Throttle Body Position Sensor twice. And now it's all starting to act up again. Car stalls, no reason, all dashboard warning lights flash and it stalls. No dashboard lights at night. Occasionally they flicker. Windshield wipers either won't work or won't shut off. Front windows are unusable, the track broke and back windows don't have power to make them work. Airbag and abs lights always flashing on dash and warning bell goes off all the time. Now my High beam wires have completely crumbled and radio takes 5-10 minutes to come on. Obviously a major electrical issue. I've lost my job thanks to the "reliability" of this money pit. Owned 3 years, problems began then. Today all lights are flashing, the air starts blowing high, wipers go on. I stop at light and it shuts off. Had to push off busy road. Waited half hour and it started, but now check engine, air bag, throttle body and seat belt lights all on. Very slowly, with many breaks, drive home & car smells like burning rubber. Visually can't find source. All fuses are good, and brand new battery last week.

There were 7 recalls on my make, year, model vehicle. Three of which were Brakes, Air Bags, and the TPMS tire monitoring system. Other body parts, doors and hood releases had recalls along with hvac/air conditioning systems. Radiator/fan motor failures. Doors flying open during transit. The ABS control module could cause the brakes to lock-up during braking. Shorts from unused connectors for the computer/TPMS system/brakes and air bags have been causing many unpredictable breakdowns. Some predictable, from past records, state recorded Instances from 180,963 vehicles that just failure of the TPMS monitor system has already caused engine no start, dead battery, Inoperable cruise control, remote start system, engine stalling which could cause a "crash without warning". This was what i read on the www.autoblog site concerning this vehicle. I contacted the Chrysler Recall Center and the site says the dealer's techs would seal the wiring "free of charge", and to replace the front seat track position sensors "free of charge". The recall center said they wouldn't do any repairs at their "free of charge" policy for ME. They said that I would have to pay out-of-pocket, when the site says they already serviced 180,963 vehicles "free of charge". I'm broke and on fixed income. Why are they being so unfair. From what I heard, and I could be wrong, but I was made to believe that there is no expiration date for recalls. If they already state online, some of the recalls could cause a "crash without warning", why would they refuse me? This happened yesterday to me. The Check TPMS System warning notice appeared, along with the Air Bag Red warning light at the top of the speedometer, while I was driving. The tire pressure screen appeared showing the tire pressure of the four tires. They are all fully Inflated. The Air Bag red light came on/off a few times, while driving home and the tire pressure screen remains on all the time. I don't want an accident.

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. I SEARHED UP THE PROBLEM AND SAW THAT BAD SPARK PLUGS OR A DIRTY INTAKE MANIFOLD COULD BE THE PROBLEMS. I THEN GOT MY SPARK PLUGS CHANGED AND INTAKE MANIFOLD TAKEN OUT MY CAR TO BE CLEANED OUT. THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTED. I THEN SEARCHED MORE AND WENT THROUGH A THREAD OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM, PEOPLE WITH DODGE AVENGERS AND CHRYSLER SEBRINGS ALL AROUND THE YEAR MY CAR MODEL IS. MULTIPLE COMMENTERS IN THE THREAD EXPLAINED THAT THEY PUT THROUGH A COMPLAINT TO THE NHTSA AND A RECALL FOR THEIR CARS WERE MADE. MULTIPLE PEOPLE ALSO SAID THAT THE PART IN THE CAR CAUSING THIS PROBLEM IS THE FAULT OF CHRYSLER AND DODGE. HERE'S A LINK TO THE THREAD: HTTPS://DODGEFORUM.COM/FORUM/2008-CURRENT-DODGE-AVENGER/226963-ELECTRONIC-THROTTLE-CONTROL-LIGHT-HORSE-POWER-LOSS.HTML THIS PROBLEM HAS BOTH HAPPENED WHEN MY CAR IS IN PARK AND IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. IT HAPPENED ONCE WHEN I WAS IN THE SECOND LANE ON A THREE LANE HIGHWAY. THIS WAS THE MOST DANGEROUS SITUATION BECAUSE THE CAR STARTED TO SLOW DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SHOULDER AND TURN OFF THE CAR. IT'S BEEN HAPPENING SINCE 2/3/20 BUT TODAY, (2/15/20) WAS THE HARSHEST SYMPTOMS

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 STUCK OR JAMMED.MY NEIGHBORS CAME OUT TO HELP PUSH IT OUT OF THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET AND THE FRONT WHEELS WERE LOCKED. THE MEN EVENTUALLY GOT IT PUSHED TO THE SIDE OF THE STREET. THE CAR STARTS AN RUN S WITH NO PROBLEM MY MECHANIS TELLS ME IT IS THE GEAR SHIFTER CABLE US BROKEN. I THOUGHT TOSE WERE MADE TO LAST IN A CAR. MY CAR IS NOW LOCKED IN PARK UNTIL I CANGET THAT FIXED.

MOST RECENTLY THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON, THE OWNERS MANUAL INDICATES THAT THE VEHICLE MAY LOOSE CONTROL OF SPEED AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. FURTHER RESEARCH INDICATED THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AND THAT PEOPLE HAVE LOST CONTROL OF THERE VEHICLES AND OR BEEN IN ACCIDENTS AS THEY WERE UNABLE TO SLOW DOWN OR STOP DO TO THIS ISSUE. MANY OF THE COMPLAINANTS ON LINE WERE INDIVIDUALS WITH YOUNG CHILDREN AS I AM AND HAVE SERIOUS CONCERNS FOR INJURY OR DEATH. LOCAL DEALERS HAD ISSUES RESOLVING THE PROBLEM. MY SECOND ISSUE WHICH IS ALSO A COMMON ISSUE FOR CHRYSLER OWNERS IS THAT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER LIGHTS GO OUT AND CEASE TO WORK AND YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SEE ANY OF YOUR INSTRUMENTS AT NIGHT SUCH AS YOUR SPEED, TACHOMETER, GAS GAUGE,ENGINE TEMPERATURE ECT. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY CONCERN AS YOU CAN NOT SEE YOUR SPEED AT NIGHT OR EARLY IN THE MORNING WHEN KIDS ARE GOING TO SCHOOL AND REDUCED SPEEDS ARE IN AFFECT, AS WELL AS BEING ABLE TO KNOW IF YOUR RUNNING OUT OF GAS OR CAR IS OVERHEATING CAUSING FURTHER DAMAGE. I DID ALTHOUGH FIND A RECALL FOR DIFFERENT MODELS WITH GAS GAUGE ISSUES AS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR RUNNING OUT OF GAS. THIS INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ISSUE HAS TO BE FAR WORSE THAN THE GAS GAUGE RECALL AS IT CAUSES THE SAME CONCERNS PLUS SEVERAL MORE IN JUST ONE PROBLEM. WHEN I CALLED THE RECALL LINE THEY SAID THAT ITS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST BUT WAS ABLE TO CONFIRM THE GAS GAUGE ISSUE I ATTACHED BELOW. FUEL GAUGE MAY OVERSTATE FUEL LEVEL MODELS : CHRYSLER SEBRING, DODGE AVENGER ENGINE, MARCH 16, 2009 THE BEGAN MARCH, 2009. THE CHRYSLER RECALL NUMBER IS J02. I WILL BE FORWARDING THIS COMPLAINT AND POSTING TO THE EXECUTIVES OF CHRYSLER AS WELL AS MY LOCAL MEDIA, AND INSURANCE COMPANY FOR VALIDITY OF MY COMPLAINT.

COSMETICALLY, THE CAR IS CRAPPY SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT IT; PAINT FLAKING OFF, TIRE RIMS HAVE PITTED, INSIDE DOOR HANDLES FLAKING OFF PAINT TOO, AMONG A FEW OTHERS. HOWEVER, MY HEATED SEATS BURNING THROUGH IS WHAT HAS ME VERY IRATE! I WAS DRIVING AND HAD TWO ADULT PASSENGERS WITH ME. BOTH OF US IN THE FRONT HAD THE HEATED SEATS TURNED ON RETURNING HOME FROM RUNNING ERRANDS IN THE CITY 45 MILES AWAY. MY PASSENGER IS 8 MONTHS PREGNANT AND I HAVE LOW LUMBAR ISSUES, SO HEATED SEATS ARE ALWAYS USED. WE HAD BOTH COMPLAINED THAT WE FOUND IT WEIRD THAT IF WE MADE QUICK STOPS DURING OUR RUNNING, WHEN WE GOT BACK INTO THE CAR AND TURNED THE HEATED SEATS ON, IT FELT WARMER THAN USUAL. HOWEVER, IF WE WERE SOMEWHERE FOR A LONGER PERIOD OF TIME, THE SEATS DIDN'T GET TERRIBLY HOT RIGHT AWAY. THE CAR SAT FOR 48 HOURS BEFORE IT WAS TIME FOR ME TO PACK UP AND HEAD BACK TO MY OWN HOME, WHEN I NOTICED WHAT I THOUGHT TO BE A STAIN ON MY SEAT (FROM MY DAUGHTERS DOG THINKING HE WAS GOING WITH ME). AFTER TRYING TO CLEAN IT AND NOTHING HAPPENING, I TOUCHED IT WITH MY FINGER TIP, ONLY TO FIND THAT IT WAS A BURN SPOT. IF THAT WOULD HAVE CAUGHT FIRE WHILE DRIVING, I COULD HAVE CRASHED!

BUT, IT HAS ALMOST HAPPENED MANY MORE TIMES...THE CAR SPUTTERS AND JUST ABOUT STALLS OUT. AGAIN, ALL DURING WET WEATHER. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED CAR AFTER THE 1ST INCIDENT. THEY TOOK THE CAR AND SAID I NEEDED A NEW BATTERY ; THAT IT WAS BEING DRAINED WHEN I HAD WIPERS, HEAT, RADIO ETC ALL ON AT ONCE AND THAT WAS WHY IT STALLED. I WENT WITH IT. WELL, IT HAS STALLED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE. ALL WHILE DRIVING AND VERY SCARY. THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT. ANOTHER THING THAT MAY OR MAY NOT BE RELATED...IS THAT THE DASH LIGHTS FLICKER ON AND OFF; ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE. I WILL BE DRIVING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN CAN'T SEE MY SPEEDOMETER OR ANYTHING. I THINK THERE IS DEFINITELY AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. I SEE THAT THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS RELATED TO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. I THINK THEY SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS. *TR

CAR TURNS OFF AUTOMATICALLY AT LOW SPEED. BRAKES LOCK AT THE SAME TIME THIS HAPPENS. I TOOK IT BACK TO DEALER TO GET SERVICED, AND THEY STATED THAT NOTHING WAS FOUND. THE SERVICEMAN DID TELL ME THAT HE CALLED THE CHRYSLER CORP, AND THEY TOLD HIM THEY NEVER HEARD OF ANYTHING LIKE THIS HAPPENING BUT ON A FORUM ON THE INTERNET, THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS OF THIS OCCURRING. I TOLD THE MAN THAT IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND HOW DANGEROUS IT IS, AND HE AGREED WITH ME. THIS MALFUNCTION OCCURRED TWO TIMES ALREADY SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM THE DEALER. FUCCILLO VW 2242 CENTRAL AVENUE, SCHENECTADY, NY 12304 (518) 374-9161. MY NEXT ISSUE IS THAT I NEED SWAY BARS. I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK YESTERDAY DEC 27, 2014, BECAUSE AS I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT, THE LIGHT CHANGED GREEN, THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED GEARS AT THE SAME TIME I ACCELERATED ON THE GAS TO GO AND I HEARD CLICKING FOR ABOUT A MILE. THE NOISE WENT AWAY. I EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM TO THE SERVICEMAN AND I WAS TOLD THAT I NEED SWAY BARS NOW. I JUST PURCHASED THE CAR IN SEPT OF THIS YEAR, AND I'M SO DISAPPOINTED TO ENCOUNTER ALL THESE PROBLEMS. MY EXTENDED WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER THE WORK. I ALSO SAY THAT THIS HAS BEEN WEARING FROM THE PREVIOUS OWNER AND I AM NOT AT FAULT, NOR SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE WORK. I SERIOUSLY DO NOT EVEN WANT THIS CAR ANYMORE, AND I AM PAYING FOR IT MONTHLY FROM A LOAN THEY GAVE ME FROM CAPITAL ONE FINANCING. THIS IS CHAOS, AND HAS EXACERBATED MY ILLNESS OF HAVING MS. I WAS DUPED. PLEASE HELP. *TR

LOVE MY CHRYSLER CARS, YES, I HAVE TWO. THE STEM VALVES/SENSORS HAVE BEEN BREAKING OFF OF OUR 2007 MODEL SEBRING. JUST WANTED TO NOTE THIS IN THE DATABASE. HAD SECOND STEM VALVE/SENSOR BREAK THIS WEEK OF NOVEMBER 9TH, 2014 AND WHILE IT WAS GETTING FIXED, I HAD THE CAR REPAIR SHOP CHECK TIRE PRESSURE ON THE OTHER TIRES AND ANOTHER STEM VALVE/SENSOR SNAPPED OFF. THESE ARE NOT CHEAP TO FIX. THAT'S THREE SO FAR, TWO WITHIN DAYS OF EACH OTHER. I PLAN ON GETTING THE LAST STEM VALVE/SENSOR REPLACED SOON AS WHEN THIS HAPPENS, YOU HAVE ONLY FEET BEFORE YOUR TIRE IS COMPLETELY OUT OF AIR. HOPING CHRYSLER WILL POSSIBLY REPAIR WITH BETTER PARTS OR CHANGE IN HOW THEY'RE MADE. I BELIEVE THIS HAS ALREADY HAPPENED BUT JUST RECENTLY. WOULD LOVE TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THESE PARTS BUT I'M NOT HOLDING MY BREATH. THANK YOU. *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 IS A HAZARD AND DANGER TO DRIVE. *TR

I HAD NO BRAKE LIGHTS AND THE SEAT BELT INDICATOR LIGHT KEPT DINGING AS WELL AS THE TIRE LOW INDICATOR. IT WAS ALL BECAUSE OF THE TOTAL INTERGRATED POWER MODULE. IT WAS ON BACK ORDER FOR FIVE WEEKS. IT COST 750.00 FOR JUST THE PART. I FEEL CHRYSLER DOESN'T RECALL THESE EVEN AFTER 1000S OF COMPLAINTS BECAUSE IT IS TO COSTLY. THEY ARE MAKING MONEY ON THE PART ALONE. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHRYSLER OVER THEM NOT DOING THE RIGHT THING. I COULD'VE BEEN REAR ENDED OVER THIS. IT COST ME 995 JUST TO GET THE TIPM PUT IN. I STILL HAVEN'T FIXED THE SEAT BELT DINGING OR THE LOW TIRE DINGING YET. HATE TO SEE HOW MUCH THAT WILL COST. SOMEBODY NEEDS TO MAKE CHRYSLER DO THE RIGHT THING AND ISSUE A RECALL.

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 PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN MAY OF 2007 AND WITHIN THE FIRST FEW MONTHS THE CAR STOPPED FOR NO APPARENT REASON WHILE DRIVING ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE INCIDENTS STARTLED ME GREATLY THAT I REQUESTED TO RECEIVE A NEW CAR. THE DEALERSHIP REFUSED AND HAD SOMEONE FLY IN FROM LOS ANGELES, CA TO FIX. NOW AFTER 5 YEARS THE CAR IS DOING SAME THING. I PRESENTED THIS SAFETY ISSUE TO THE MANAGER OF THE DEALERSHIP BY THE NAME OF [XXX]. [XXX] PROCEEDED TO TELL ME THAT SINCE I DID NOT USE HIM FOR MY SERVICING THAT HE WOULD NOT ASSIST ME. HE FLATLY TOLD ME HOW COULD HE HELP ME WHEN HE DIDN'T MAKE ANY MONEY OFF OF ME. I'VE BEEN TOLD BY OTHER PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME VEHICLE THAT THEY HAD THE SAME PROBLEM OF STOPPING WITHOUT ANY NOTICE.

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)!

ALL 3 BREAK LIGHT SEALS WERE REPLACED AND PLUGS REMOVED TO ALLOW BETTER DRAINAGE - ISSUE RESOLVED. EMERGENCY BREAK LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY ILLUMINATES WHILE DRIVING - EMERG BREAK IS OFF AND NEW BREAKS INSTALLED ISSUE STILL UNRESOLVED. DELAYED AUTO OFF HEADLIGHTS DID NOT SHUT OFF. RETURNED TO VEHICLE 2 HOURS LATER WITH DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS STILL ON AND SINCE THEY ARE AUTOMATIC THERE IS NO WAY TO TURN THEM OFF. AFTER CYCLING THE ENGINE THEY SHUT OFF, BUT NOW FAIL TO COME ON AT ALL. IN THE BASE MODEL THERE IS NO FEATURE TO TURN THEM "ON" OR "OFF" - ISSUE UNRESOLVED. THE VEHICLE ALSO REFUSES TO CHANGE THE SETTING TO TURN THE "AUTO UNLOCK" FEATURE "ON" WHEN VEHICLE IS PUT IN PARK. THIS FEATURE ALSO REFUSES TO WORK ON "FIRST UNLOCK" ON THE KEY FOB.

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 THESE ITEMS. FUEL ECONOMY DROPPED FROM ABOUT 30 MPG TO ABOUT 23 MPG. THE LOCAL DEALER LOOKED INTO THIS PROBLEM BUT SAID THAT THE OBDII SYSTEM IS REPORTING NO CURRENT OR STORED CODES SO THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO PER THE FACTORY, THEY ALSO HAVE NOTED THAT THE ENGINE IS RUNNING ROUGHLY. CHRYSLER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND AGREED TO REFUND THE COST OF THE TRANSMISSION SERVICE BECAUSE IT WAS NOT THE PROBLEM. I MAILED ALL THE COPIES OF THE REQUESTED PAPERWORK TO THEM BUT THEY NEVER RESPONDED BACK AND HAVE NOT PAID.

1 complaint
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

I OWN A 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING BOUGHT NEW IN OCT 2007. I HAVE BEEN HAVING A CONSTANT VIBRATING PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM AND/OR TIRES SINCE MAY 2008 AND I DID NOT KNOW MY BRAKE SYSTEM WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY UP TO 18,000 MILES SO I TOOK IT A FIRESTONE DEALER. AT THE TIME I HAD 15,000 ON MY SEBRING AND THEY TOLD ME THAT MY BRAKES WERE WEARING DOWN DUE TO MY ROTORS EATING MY BRAD PADS AND I WOULD NEED THEM TO BE RESURFACED. SO I PAID OUT OF POCKET $120 TO HAVE THEM RESURFACED AND CONTINUED TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM THEN WHEN I HAD TIME I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER IN AUGUST 2008 AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT I WOULD NEED NEW ROTORS AND BRAKES BECAUSE FIRESTONE DID NOT PROPERLY PUT THE BRAKES BACK ON OR SOMETHING WITH THE BRAKER SLIDER BRIDGE. WELL COME TO FIND OUT FROM THE MANAGER AT FIRESTONE, THAT MY ROTORS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BE REPLACED AT SUCH LOW MILEAGE AND IT IS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT FROM THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION. WELL I HAD TO HAVE THEM REPLACED BECAUSE I WORK AN HOUR AWAY FROM MY HOME AND DEPEND ON MY VEHICLES LIABILITY. I COULD NOT STAND DRIVING 2 HOURS EVERYDAY WITH CONSTANT VIBRATION. SO I PAID $288.00 TO HAVE MY ROTORS REPLACED AND FIRESTONE WAS KIND ENOUGH TO THROW IN THE BRAKES FOR FREE. WELL HERE IT IS OCTOBER 18, 2008 AND I AM STILL HAVING THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. I CALLED CHRYSLER CORPORATION AND INFORMED THEM OF MY PROBLEMS AND THEY JUST DO NOT SEEM TO CARE. I HAVE BEEN THE ROUTE OF THE DEALER AND I KEEP GETTING THE RUN AROUND. WELL WHEN I STEP ON MY BRAKE MY VEHICLE SOUNDS LIKE IT IS REVVING UP AS IN ACCELERATION BUT STILL SLOWS DOWN, WHEN I MAKE LEFT HAD TURNS I HEAR A CLUNK IN THE STEERING COLUMN AND THAT HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED BECAUSE APPARENTLY THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. I AM AFRAID THAT ONE DAY MY BRAKES MAY FAIL WHEN I AM DRIVING AND I HAVE 2 SMALL CHILDREN TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT. I NEED THIS CONSTANT PROBLEM RESOLVED. *TR

I PURCHASED A NEW 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING FROM A LOCAL DEALERSHIP ON MAY 30, 2007. ON JULY 25, 2007 I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE AND IT WAS SHAKING WHEN I APPLIED MY BRAKES. I IMMEDIATELY RETURNED THE CAR TO MY DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAD TO RESURFACE BOTH ROTORS AND RESURFACED BOTH REAR DRUMS. THE MILEAGE WAS 4108. IN NOVEMBER 15, 2007 I RETURNED MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP DUE TO BRAKE LIGHT COMING ON WHEN COMING DOWN ANY HILL. VIBRATION WAS ALSO NOTED AT THIS TIME. DEALER CHECKED AND STATED THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. ON MARCH 24, 2008 I WAS COMING OFF A HILL FROM MY JOB SITE WHEN MY BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON THE CAR WAS MAKING A GRINDING SOUND AND I WAS UNABLE TO STOP AT THE LIGHT IN THE INTERSECTION DUE TO BRAKE FAILURE. THE DEALERSHIP DID A ROAD TEST AND ADVISED THAT THE BRAKES WERE PULSATING WHEN HOT. PULLED BRAKES AND HAD TO REPLACE BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS DUE TO DETERIORATION. ON JUNE 9, 2008 WHILE DRIVING THE INTERSTATE MY CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE WHEN I WOULD APPLY THE BRAKES. WHILE EXITING FROM THE FREEWAY I WAS UNABLE TO STOP AT THE INTERSECTION. THE BRAKES WERE MAKING A GRINDING SOUND AND DID NOT ALLOW ME TO STOP AT THE STOP SIGN IN THE INTERSECTION. ONCE AGAIN I HAD NO BRAKES. I RETURNED THE CAR TO MY DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY AND THEY CHECKED THE BRAKES. THEY ADVISED ME THAT THEY NEEDED TO RESURFACE THE ROTORS THAT WERE REPLACED BY THEM IN MARCH 2008. THIS VEHICLE IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND I FEAR THAT MYSELF OR MY CHILDREN ARE GOING TO BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WHERE WE WILL EITHER BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. MY SON WHO IS DISABLED WOULD HAVE DIFFICULTY SURVIVING ANY TYPE OF IMPACT CRASH. *TR
