Takata recall. I am having several issues with the whole braking system, as it is very difficult to pinpoint the exact cause of having no brakes. I have no type of brakes at all. When taken off parking, even with foot on brake, car will begin to move. This seems to be very common in these cars. The fuel pump was also replaced as it was letting less power go through. This happens as the car sits in parking, as well as, when driving. Also, the mechanic that looked at the car said that the pump needed to be replaced due to possible fire hazards. The lights flicker on and off by themselves, sometimes radio works, sometimes, lights get stuck on.

Have a 1999 chrysler sebring convertible. Car went into theft mode and would not start. Car is at the dealership now. Is this a defect of some kind? I've never heard of this before.

My moms fuel pump went out, I had it replaced. The mechanic took the old fuel pump out and discovered that the wiring harness was melted, on both sides. In the fuel tank and outside of it. It is only a wonder that the car did not catch fire. I had a new fuel pump put in.

My trunk falls down with out any warning. Hurts when your head is under it. The fuel light keeps going off and on even when full. The back window came unglued, I was told that I have to purchase a new window and have it installed with a upholstery person, price quotes are 680-780 dollars nothing is wrong with the window seems like such a waste.

I had a family member pickup up my vehicle from the airport parking lot one time I was away. They used my spare key. After the vehicle started it died and would not start. I had it towed to a chrysler dealer. They told me I was using a key that fried a computer chip. It was a key I received from the dealer when I bought the car. I had used that spare key before. Now on occasion the engine will just shut off, not stall or anything. It has happened as I was starting first thing in the morning, at a stop light or as I am traveling down the highway. I have to pull over and try to restart. Sometimes it will start right up and at other times it will start 10 minutes later.
