I was driving down the street and the control arm snapped causing me to lose control of my vehicle. I had it towed to mechanic. The control arms and some other parts were replaced. Using my cars VIN there is not a recall but on this website there is a recall for same year make and model for the same reason. I called chrysler 800‑992‑1997 and spoke with micah and she explained that she does not even see that there is a recall on 2004 chrysler sebrings case# 28647014. But here is the website I found it on: http://www-odi.the federal safety agency.dot.gov/owners/searchresults;jsessionid=k261wqcjkj69rsyytt48wfrrmdtb80yqjlp8jvcgtqrgptdr0mqy!-721696947?prodtype=v&searchtype=prod&targetcategory=a&searchcriteria.model=sebring+sedan&stats=774853%2c1%2c0%2c8%2c0%2csebring+sedan&makestats=&jsonbaseurl=%2fdownloads%2ffolders%2f&searchcriteria.model_yr=2004&searchcriteria.make=chrysler&searchcriteria.prod_ids=774853

Warming the car in the driveway and both airbags deployed. Private driveway, no collision or other possible shock. The air bag indicator had been lit for approx 2 months and I had scheduled repairs but had not had them completed. Car was at idle after approx 10 minutes of idle running.

I was crossing 4 lanes of oncoming traffic and my car stalled and died. This was the first time it had happened so I was unsure what to do. Thank goodness I put my car in p and restarted it in enough time to get out of the way before I was hit. This has again happened many times over the last 10+ years of ownership. Funnily enough, as I pulled up to my bank to make my final car payment, the car also stalled. It was too ironic. I have taken it to the dealership which is such a hassle and of course, they can find nothing wrong. Now, my check engine light comes on and then goes off with no apparent reason. Please issue some sort of recall so no one is hurt because of this issue.

I bought my 2004 chrysler sebring sedan in february of 2014. Two months later in april the ball studs on my tires were popping off while while I was driving and my car started wobbling. I took my car to the place where I got it from and they fixed it. Two months later in june the same thing happened on the same tire. The ball studs flew off while I was driving and the tire was hanging on by one ball stud the others were broken off. I had the car towed to the shop and it was fixed. Now in august my ball joint snapped as I was backing out a parking space, with no warning. The whole car fell to the ground. This car is a safety hazard and there is no reason why the ball studs and ball joint should break so easily. If I was on a residential street or even on the parkway I would've lost control and crashed.

I have a 2004 chrysler sebring. The problem is that it has door handles that have a metal covering on them. I have replaced them several times. The metal covering on the handles start to peel off and it cuts your hands if not careful. My granddaughter required stitches from opening the back door. I have also had serious cuts. After talking to other sebring owners I have found that they have the same problems with the door handles and being cut. I would like to she this changed to different handles, however I am only able to get the same type of handle for my car.

*what happened? Use as much space as you need. We own this 2004 chrysler sebring as we purchased it new in the fall of 2004 from westborn chrysler in dearborn. In the spring of 2005 we took a trip to florida, and as we were getting off the freeway, at the first stop light, the car was jerking to the point that if we did not put it in park it would hit the gar in front, then it stopped. It stopped several times in that trip. We took it to the dealer; they could not diagnose anything wrong with it. We drove the car short distances since, but recently started to drive about 20 miles one way, when it started to have the same symptoms. We experience several cases of sudden stalling, jerking and sudden stops when turning. It happens when have to stop after a highway drive. In one instance it almost hit our house. We took the car to the dealer again and were told that the right downstream o2 sensor, and the harness connector have to be replaced and the fuel injector needs to be serviced. Also the power steering pump is noisy. Chrysler would pay for the parts, but we would have to pick up the labor cost of $1,103, because the car has 47,000 miles, it is so far since the warranty expired. They claim this is not covered by the 70,000 miles or 7 years warranty. It is the engine and/or transmission that are malfunctioning, but they try to find different things to give me the run around and not to cover the expenses. After all, t really thing that this will not fix the problem, this is only the effect of a different cause, that is not even found. 2. Another issue is that once it rains, the carpet on the driver side is always wet. 3. A third issue, we had to replace the blower motor resistor. All common problems with these cars, as I read complaints. Why isn't chrysler stepping up and fixing these problems?
