Filed Jan 28, 2019 · Electrical, Lights · 223,132 miles · MI

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.

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.
