24 hours of purchasing from original- sole owner of whom kept it very well, low mileage 28,000m & garaged. I drove it for the first gas fill-up and proceeded to restart, shift from p to drive. Locked up. Referred to manual in which I followed instructions for hidden reset button. To no avail, called local chrysler dealership. Their response "you get it here & we'll fix it!" totally frustrated~I did. Broken shifter has 2 little pink plastic guards holding it all together- really? One has broken but the whole shifter has to be replaced!! 3 1/2 hours later + $377.00 I drove away in hopes of being reimbursed by manufacturers to repay my friend footing this bill!!

I have a 2008 sebring convertible.. While driving.. The car's electronic throttle control light comes on and starts to lose power and will almost shut down.. I am hearing about others with similar problems.. Pg 181 on owners' manual.. This makes it for a real dangerous situation if the engine shuts down.. I lose all steering and braking while driving at high speeds.. Especially on curvy roads..

My wife drove her 2008 chrysler sebring to work yesterday, everything seemed to work fine. When she tried to drive home the car was stuck in park. After researching the problem online I took the trim ring off of the shifter area and found the pink piece of plastic on the left side of the shifter. With a long screw driver I was able to push the pink piece of plastic backward and could then move the shifter out of park.
