2007 Chrysler Sebring electrical complaints
Page 2 of 5: complaints 11 to 40 of 119, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The airbag light has been in for a long time. I know someone that has the same car and their car has the same issue. Also the true gage reader is malfunctioning. Now I have problems with the car stalling on the roadway. I called chrysler about the recalls and the said everything has been taken care of. They couldn't tell me who brought the car in fir repairs. I've had the car for 8 years. I dont think the issues have been resolved. They should at least be able to see who brought the car in fir the repairs. The headlights will sometimes go off when going around turns. I met the previous owner and he told me that these issues are why he got rid of the car. Please help me get the recalls fixed so something bad doesn't happen to us in this car.
My instrument panel has no background lights, they do t turn on at all. I took it into a local shop and they said all the fuse are good and they think it might be a modgular (battery) that needs to be replaced. I have seen a lot of other owners having this same issue with their sebring as well.
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.
Airbag light on, horn and cruise control stopped working, found out its the clock spring, had trouble steering the car at one point, found that a part broke the clock spring and got lodged in the steering components, happened during a turn onto a street
The defective integrated power module (tipm) would cause my vehicle to do strange things. Like loose complete power while driving on the highway or in town. Also effects where starter cranks but wont start. Battery would be drained for no reason. I have the vehicle in the shop right now getting that part replaced. I asked them what did they find out about my vehicle after a couple of days of them working on it and they stated they where unsure still working on it. They gave me a call back a few days later and they stated that the issue is the tipm and that they got that info from chrysler because they eventually had to contact them to see if they knew what the issue was and that they told them that this is a very common issue in chrysler vehicles made from 2007 to 2014. To me this part on chrysler vehicles should be a recall for 0ne it is very dangerous for your vehicle to loose power while driving and also the fact that they know this is an issue.
Dashboard was dim with airbag indicator light always on when purchased. The problems started with dashboard lights going in and out and the wipers not working properly around november of last year. Was told fuses needed to be changed, so they were. Same issue. Then 3 months ago taillight bulb went out, changed it and the taillights have not worked since. Was told it has to be taken to dealer authorized shop for electrical box repair after taking car to three different shops who all said they could not find the issue. Today battery looking light came on and before I could turn around to go back home the car immediately shut off and would not start without a jump. The lightning bolt in parentheses came up and car accelerated without my foot being on gas but would not go above 30 MPH once I made it home it turned off and refuses to start 6 hrs later. The battery light, lightning bolt symbol and airbag lights all show on dash and will not go off.
I am very concerned about my airbag light coming on 1-2 times a month. Does that mean the air bags may suddenly deploy while I am sitting at a light, or not deploy when involved in a crash? My second concern is that my dashboard lights started dimming and eventually went out on their own. I cannot drive at night any more.I took it to a mechanic and thinking it was a simple fuse problem. No, it has to do with the mechanic removing the dashboard and going into the instrument cluster box and replacing simething in there. I have been quoted $350.00-to 375.00 dollars.cannot afford that. My new problem: driving home, getting ready to back up my drive way, the car is running hot, when I went to shift from drive to reverse,the car cut off.had a hard time taking the carout of reverse to park. Like it was stuck or jammed.my neighbors came out to help push it out of the middle of the street and the front wheels were locked. The men eventually got it pushed to the side of the street. The car starts an run s with no problem my mechanis tells me it is the gear shifter cable us broken. I thought tose were made to last in a car. My car is now locked in park until I canget that fixed. As a senior on a fixed income I cannot afford to drive this old car I have sadly paid for.
The car will stop suddenly while driving I've been told its an electrical issue in the transmission, but I see from the recalls that chrysler knows about these issues yet these cars are still been sold and driven even though they can have very dangerous consequences. The doors locks and unlocks on their own, the lights flicker. The car will also while in park jerk and rev as if someone is hitting the gas even though they are not, this also happens when in drive and my foot is on the break
I was driving when my hood pop right up and it has been the second time. Also my cruise control doesn't work and some light inside don't turn on or my mirrors.
Passenger airbag light stays on and dashboard cluster does not light up, both are dangerous and should not be ignored.
Dashboard lights intermittently turn on and off while car is on and driving; especially the'airbag' and 'check engine' and "exclamation point' lights. The 'check engine' light is always on and blinks while in drive. While the check engine is blinking, the car drives slower and does not pick up speed past 20 MPH. All spark plugs have been changed as well as the cranks sensor.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 chrysler sebring. The contact stated that the vehicle would not start and the battery was replaced. After replacing the battery, a warning indicating that the tire pressure monitoring system was faulty appeared. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the electrical wires connected to the tire pressure monitoring system had corroded causing an electrical short. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The contact was informed that the VIN was not included in the federal safety agency campaign number: 08v152000 (electrical system). The failure mileage was 108,000.

For the past several months my dash lights have been flashing, sometimes going off and staying off, and my remote start will start the car but then it immediately shuts off. I did some research on what could be causing this and discovered the federal safety agency reference # 08v‑152, which describes exactly what I've been experiencing, and my car does have the tire pressure monitoring system. When I contacted chrysler they told me that there have never been any recalls on my particular vehicle. I know this to be untrue because shortly after I purchased the car I received a recall notice for a spring in the gear shift. Chrysler informed me that if I want this corrected it would at my own expense. The problem that initiated the recall can result in the car stalling without warning and causing an accident. My car's VIN does not come up as a vehicle included in this recall, but if the problem is occurring, then why wouldn't chrysler want to take care of it for safety's sake and their reputation? Believe me, I plan on telling anyone I can about this and I will never consider another chrysler product.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 chrysler sebring. While driving at various speeds, the vehicle suddenly shut off. There were no warning indicators illuminated.

The failure mileage was 97,000.
In the past 3 years that I have owned this vehicle each time is rains and/or humid my car would stall. I took it to 2 different mechanic shops (this was done in the span of three years). Unfortunately no one was able to find or to fix the problem. It seems quite dangerous as my car would stall as it is running, while I am driving (talk about unsafe). I noticed that the issue would surface when it is raining and/or very humid outside. My car would start to loose power, a bit of a engine hiccup, and then as I approach a stop or red light, the car would stall completely. Which means I need to put it in park, and restart the engine. Mechanic checked it and said there is "no issues" but any time it rains I have this problem. Also they checked the computer and replaced some other recalled item, and computer does not show any errors. How can one drive a car that unpredictably stalls and no one, even the dealer, is able to locate and fix the problem?

Takata recall my etc light flashes and you cant accelerate the only way to get it to go off is turn car off then back on . I've put new throttle body and ECM on it but still have the problem. Help if you have any advice
Interior dash lights flicker on and off at night, sometimes remaing off. As such, speedometer isn't illuminated, as well as other guages. I googled this condition and by the responses I saw, this is a widespread problem in the chrysler sebring and there should be an immediate recall before someone gets hurt from diverting attention from the road to the dash situation. This happens if the vehicle is stopped, moving, turning, on a city street and in highway conditions. It happens when traveling on smooth pavement or rougher conditions. The vehicle is in like new condition and has never been wrecked.

When it began, the car sometimes would not catch when I turned the ignition. Then one day it was raining and I pulled up to a red light and the car cut off. It eventually progressed to the car randomly slowing down and/or not going over 20 MPH. When it first started I could turn the car off and back on and it would be fine, now the car must sit for hours before it begins to work properly again.
While driving noticed the back of the drivers seat was getting very hot. Found a burn hole in back of seat about 3/8th of an inch. I was using the heated seats at the time.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 chrysler sebring. The contact stated that the air bag warning lamp and the electric throttle control warning lamp illuminated. The contact stated that the vehicle suddenly reduced speed lower than 50 MPH. The vehicle was not diagnosed. The contact was not included in the federal safety agency campaign numbers: 07v240000 (air bags) and 08v152000 (electrical system). The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.
My chrysler sebring's electronic throttle control light goes on for a second or 2 and then goes back off randomly. The car idles high and seem to want to stall out. The vehicle will go into limp mode when the etc light is solid and won't go more than 10-15mph. There is no check engine light and mechanic found no codes to tell what was wrong. I have been on the freeway or city streets when it will randomly go into limp mode and have to safely maneuver away from traffic as vehicle slows with no response from the gas peddle. I have read online that many other people have had this safety problem and no one seems to be able to fix it or find the source. I observed many others spending hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars on different speculated parts that "may" cause this to happen. The best scenario after people replaced different parts was that the vehicle was fine for maybe a week or two but the problems came right back. I hope with your help we can put an end to this unsafe condition of this vehicle and protect the consumers. Thank you for reading this and taking my experience and many others into consideration.
