Car will start sometimes and then will not. Replaced 20 amp fuse and it will start. Maybe 10-15 times it will start and then it will not. My wife drives the car and is very concerning to her. Have looked at other complaints on your site about this and no one has had it resolved!!!!

I purchased this car new as a christmas gift for my wife in 2004. She had informed me a couple of times prior to the reported date that she'd experienced the car failing to start when she turned the switch. She stated when she turned the ignition to start the car nothing would happen-- the car would just be silent. After returning the key to the start position again and attempting to start it-- the car would start. It has also happened to me on a few occasions. The problem was never located. We just continue to use it as is. Over the years we have experienced other electrical related issues-- none having bee resolved. First the car lighters stopped working. I had them replaced several times but they continued to short out. The fuse (under the dash for the lighters) just blows out (literally tosses out) any fuse you put in it. So it too is no longer in use. We have a problem with a tail light that keeps blowing out. We keep replacing it because it only last about three months at a time. Meanwhile the other tail light has never had to be replaced-- it works just fine! The sun has now now warped the dash board and it has began to buckle. It's a 2004 not a 1954! I've never seen a car with these numerous problems. We have a 1996 honda civic it looks good, runs great, and is all original, and we've cared for it just as we do this sebring. What's the deal with this piece of junk??? That's why most people no longer buy american cars anymore... They are poorly made. We'd like to get a new car; but are nearing our retirement years and do not need the debt.

I bought two cars same make and model and everything on both cars been repaired and its not because of an automobile incident its because of the barron been coming aparts. I have bought a new motor on both cars. I have had nothing but. Problems with this car the same problems with both cars. I am so afraid of these cars because I bought them new and I know I bought a new engine.

My 2004 chrysler sebring lt stalled out on me in the middle of in intersection in a left turn lane. Could not get car restarted immediately and was in heavy traffic. Once I had restarted the vehicle I moved over to the shoulder where it happened again, and this also happened in a parking lot. This is dangerous. If stall would have happened 2 seconds later I would've been t-boned by a pickup truck. Upon stall the car engaged the e-brake and also lit up the following warning lights : engaged ebrake, oil, battery, and engine.

Vehicle failed emission inspection. Vehicle computer will not reset. Dealers insist that the vehicle must be driven over 400 miles for the computer to reset. Vehicle was driven the recommended distances and the computer failed to reset. When the vehicle was taken back to the dealers they ask for the vehicle to be driven for an additional 400 miles. At the cost of fuel, tolls, and time spent on the road, the emission inspection is costing a fortune fro vehicle that is only four years old. The computer is under warranty but it seems like dealers don't want to honor the warranties due to the replacement cost.
