When my husband drives my car, he moves the seat back. When I drive my car, I move the seat forward. This action causes the airbag light on the dash to come on. When I move the electronically controlled seat forward/backward, the airbag light will "sometimes" go off. The federal safety agency ref 07v240000 references a recall for the front seat track position sensor. I contacted chrysler to see if my car is one that has been recalled. I'm told that it is not. I think it should be.
2007 Chrysler Sebring electrical complaints

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 chrysler sebring. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact took the vehicle to a mechanic where it was determined that the wiring harness was exposed and could have been corroded. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer. The contact referenced the federal safety agency campaign id number: 08v152000 (electrical system) but was advised by the manufacturer that the vehicle was not included in the recall. The failure mileage was 88,000 and the current mileage was 114,928.
The dash lights started blinking like a strobe light now they will just be off completely and randomly come back on. When they are off at night I cannot see my speed gas or temp.
I purchased the vehicle listed above in 2011 at city auto plaza while under warranty. The vehicle served my purpose as it was for work and now school only fuel efficient. About 6 or 7 months ago I began to experience an intermittent problem with vehicle it would crank but not start. I would have the vehicle towed to my local mechanic and not faulty codes were discovered. This happened about three or four times until frustrated I parked the vehicle around the first of february 2013 and used my other vehicle for school. The other day I decided to have the vehicle looked at by another local dealership near my home not the chrysler dealership were purchased my dealing with the dealership folks are not positive or beneficial to me. The mechanic at buddy rays auto care in canon city checked the vehicle and traced the problem to a connection wiring system that was attached to the fuel pump. From their explanation the vehicle was in danger of catching fire if this problem persisted. I contacted my local dealership in an attempt to report this matter and they have not assisted telling me instead that the car had to be in their shop. Because of the danger posed by this problem I have had the vehicle repaired at a cost of 765.00 dollars to replace the fuel pump, and wiring connectors plus labor. My concern for this car having less than 100,000 miles in my opinion should not have face this type of malfunction in the fuel and electrical system.
First two complaints have been recalled and serviced. Said recalls were for # 1 engine stalling and # 2 driver airbag under seat sensor illuminating on and off on dash. Even after the service was performed for the recalls, I still have engine stalling during stops and on deceleration the vehicle threatens to stall. I need to keep giving gas and on humid days that is indicative of possible rain the threat is more often. The second recall complaint that I am still experiencing is the air bag illuminator on dash for the drivers side goes on and off and the wires under the drivers seat are involved when driver seat moves front or back. Stalling is a safety issue that can cause personal injury or death to occupants in this car or nearby cars sharing the road. Also the air bag sensor problem keeps me in fear that the airbag will not deploy when necessary or will deploy accidentally on its own while the vehicle is in motion. I also have a complaint that the car when braking for a stop continued to rev causing me to use the emergency break and I had to shut off the car to stop the car totally.I have noticed that this issue is common with other peoples complaint and an inquiry would seem imminent for safety reasons. The dealership knowing the recalls have not secured the proper handling of my vehicle's safety wants to charge a diagnostic fee or a service fee when it is clear that the proper service was not rendered causing recall malfunctions to this date. For the two complaints that have recalls that I am inquiring about need to be addressed to the dealership asap for service and I would appreciate the outcome of this complaint in writing. As for the accelerator problem I would like to be kept abreast if a safety issue is mandated for the repair of that complaint. Thank you.
While traveling in virginia on int.64 the electronic throttle control warning light came on and the car lost power. I turned the car off waited a minute and the car was fine. This has happened three times in the past. Dealer claimed it was fixed and it keeps happening periodically. Normally on trips.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 chrysler sebring. The contact started the ignition and the instrument panel cluster displayed a dim lighting and then suddenly failed to illuminate. The failure occurred sporadically and also when the vehicle was in operation. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who replaced the instrument panel cluster. The failure recurred after the repair. The vehicle had not been repaired for the second failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 65,000.
Air bag warning light intermittently comes on. Moving the seat will sometimes cause it to go off. Recall #07v240000 describes this problem but smith auto plex in american fork, utah (where I purchased the car) refuses to do anything about it.
I bought my 2007 chrysler sebring brand new april 2007. After about a year (or less) and well under 20,000 miles the gas cap light would not go off, windshield wipers went off sporadically even in the "off" position, got stuck in park, fuel tank had to be replaced (which went out while I was driving), air bag light won't go off, etc. Had all these problems fixed only to have many of them recur. They were all fixed under warranty. Now after 36,000 miles and no warranty, the problems I have now are the windshield wipers still won't go off, my electric windows sometimes won't work at all (driver's side specifically), air bag light won't go off but occasionally when driver's seat is moved backward and forward but always returns, car will stall at times when pressing the gas pedal while driving. After the windshield wipers began going off again, took it to chrysler dealership in my town...they contacted chrysler to see if they would replace it again and they refused. All the recalls I read about that appear to pertain to my vehicle, chrysler says my VIN is not a part of the recall (even though it's happening to my car too)! I will never buy another chrysler vehicle for myself, or anyone in my family again! Problems with this car started early and never went away.
Gas cap light has come on at least 10 times--stay on for 2-3 days, then go off for no reason-was at a local mechanic several times--been reset over and over. Radio keeps blowing a fuse-replaced at least 7 times. Headlights are delayed coming on when they are turned on. Now at 91,000 miles-vehicle refuses to start--tries to turn over, but wont. Had at local mechanic for 1 week-no codes will come up. Several components replaced-still refuses to start... Now being towed to chrysler dealer----and VIN#--is not listed on recall.
I have had my vehicle in for service on two different occasions for the same problem, the check engine light won't go off and now my vehicle will not engage out of park.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 chrysler sebring. The contact stated that the vehicle would loose power and stall sporadically and without warning. The dealer was contacted and advised that the VIN was not associated with the federal safety agency campaign id number: 08v152000 (electrical system:wiring). The manufacturer was not contacted and the vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 20,000 and the current mileage was 49,000.
My was making a loud knocking sounds while increasing speed, then sound would go away. Took it to dealership an they stated I didn't have any problems with my car. June 2011, my car started stalling while at stop light, now my car is wanting to stall while I'm driving around 50mph. Dash lights also flicker on and off. Chrysler dealership states they can't find anything wrong with my car since it's not giving them codes but recommend I replace the engine. I've been reading reviews of the same problems with this car company and there cars. How are they not responsible for all these motors people are having to replace, I think they should have to fix these problems an not get away with it.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 chrysler sebring. While parked, the contact noticed that the tire pressure warning light was illuminated as the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was towed to the dealer for diagnostic testing where the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The manufacturer stated to the contact that there was a recall for the failure under the federal safety agency campaign id number: 08v152000 (electrical system:wiring), but the recall had already been performed. The contact inspected the tire pressure monitoring system and noticed that the wiring was melted. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 76,000.
2007 chrysler sebring electronic throttle control light comes on and car cannot accelerate stalls almost to almost to a complete stop... Only turning off the car resets this light for who knows how long it just happens and is very dangerous...this problem needs to be addressed before somebody gets seriously hurt...
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 chrysler sebring. While driving at various speeds, the contact stated that the vehicle would stall and lose all power. The failure recurred intermittently and the contact was able to successfully restart the vehicle after the failures. In addition, the contact noticed that the tire pressure monitoring system light was illuminated. The dealer informed the contact that the VIN was not included in the recall associated with the federal safety agency campaign id number 08v152000 (electrical system:wiring). The contact was awaiting a response from the manufacturer. A private mechanic made several attempts to duplicate the failure, but the vehicle had not been repaired. The failure mileage was unknown and the current mileage was 75,000.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 chrysler sebring. The contact stated the vehicle stalled numerous times without warning while driving at any speed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who performed a diagnostic test that was unable to locate a failure code. The dealer cleaned the fuel system and replaced the engine spark plugs, but the failure was not corrected. The vehicle continued to stall. The manufacturer stated the VIN was not included in the federal safety agency recall campaign id number: 08v152000 electrical system: wiring, and denied assistance with the repair. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 60,000 and the current mileage was 65,000.
Purchased 2007 sebring base model one month ago. Had dealership complete all recalls before purchase. Tail lights attached to the upper portion of the truck flooded/filled with water anytime there was rain and when you open the trunk it dumps the water on your head. All 3 break light seals were replaced and plugs removed to allow better drainage - issue resolved. Emergency break light intermittently illuminates while driving - emerg break is off and new breaks installed issue still unresolved. Delayed auto off headlights did not shut off. Returned to vehicle 2 hours later with daytime running lights still on and since they are automatic there is no way to turn them off. After cycling the engine they shut off, but now fail to come on at all. In the base model there is no feature to turn them "on" or "off" - issue unresolved. The vehicle also refuses to change the setting to turn the "auto unlock" feature "on" when vehicle is put in park. This feature also refuses to work on "first unlock" on the key fob. The doors just continue to stay locked - issue unresolved. I hope mine does not start shutting off on me like so many other complaints.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 chrysler sebring. The contact stated that the instrument panel warning lights and all of the gauges continued to illuminate constantly. The manufacturer was notified of the failure who advised that there were no recalls for the vehicle and offered no further assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 54,000.
This car shuts off, all the light so on and off and this has been happening since it was less than a year old. We have taken it to chrysler dealership and they have said it didn't happen when they had it. The interior light comes on when you turn on right turn signal. The ABS light goes on and off and the seatbelt light.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 chrysler sebring. The contact stated that when driving 60-70 MPH, the vehicle would exhibit a loud, abnormal grinding. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who advised that the ball bearings in the alternator failed and the alternator would need replacing. The manufacturer was notified of the failure who provided no assistance. The failure mileage was 74,000.
My sebring stalls when I come to a stop or am traveling at low speeds. The car has stalled in the middle of intersections and is obviously very dangerous to drive. The car additionally lunges at low speeds or when I accelerate. The seatbelt light on the dash goes on and off sporadically. I have determined through personal investigation the wire connection for the seatbelt light is under the driver seat and it doesn't always make a good connection. When the connector is touched the light will go off and on so that tells me that the connector has a short and is faulty. A plastic part in the gear shift has broken and made it impossible to shift without manipulation with a screw driver, and there is a loud clicking sound that comes out of the air condition vent/duct when the AC is turned on. I have owned many vehicles through the years and this is the first car that I have purchased that I am actually scared for my family and I to drive anywhere. I will never again purchase a chrysler, but not just because of the above but because they have not gained my trust. This company should try a new campaign of trying to gain the trust of the consumer, and they could start by accepting the fact that they have many faulty vehicles that need to be recalled and repaired, this is not only good sound advice this would be good business practice.
2007 chrysler sebring. Consumer states on numerous occasions the vehicle stalled without reason while driving, slowing down or making a turn.
The car had a new set of spark plugs and a transmission service at 60,000 miles. The car was being driven at freeway speeds when it lost power and then was stuck in second gear. It was towed to a chrysler dealer where they serviced the transmission believing that was the problem, because the obdii system reported no current or stored error codes. They returned the car and stated that it was running rough and should have a tune up. The car was driven about 180 miles at freeway speeds when it again lost power and was stuck in second gear. This time the car was driven along the shoulder to the next off ramp at which time the check engine light came on. The car was towed to another chrysler dealer where the obdii codes showed that the catalytic converter and an oxygen sensor had failed. The dealer replaced these items. Fuel economy dropped from about 30 mpg to about 23 mpg. The local dealer looked into this problem but said that the obdii system is reporting no current or stored codes so there is nothing they can do per the factory, they also have noted that the engine is running roughly. Chrysler was contacted about the problem and agreed to refund the cost of the transmission service because it was not the problem. I mailed all the copies of the requested paperwork to them but they never responded back and have not paid.
Car stalls, engine stutters and hesitates when at a stop, turning or going around a bend at 30 MPH. When initially stepping on the gas rpms will drop then surge (~2000 RPM). Almost hit a car in a parking lot on one occasion because of a surge. Also, the car stuttered and jerked on the highway. Chrysler dealership reflashed PCM on one visit and ran diagnostics on another visit and found nothing wrong with the car.
Multiple issues with this vehicle. The latest one is the most serious. A faulty ABS sensor cause the brakes to operate abnormally. The ABS light may come on then go off and (periodically goes on and off). Regardless of the light status, the ABS system randomly engages and does not allow the vehicle to stop in a safe manner. The ABS when engaged resists the driver from apply pressure to the brake pedal. The result is the car not stopping. Luckily I was going slow and there was no one around other wise there would have been an accident. The ABS light came on, resisted my braking force then went off and allow the brakes to engage as anticipated. The roads were normal, dry and free of debris/ loose fill. This happened twice over two days. On the second day I parked the car and let it sit until it's service date. The service department diagnosed a faulty sensor with code c1044. They said it was due to rust. First this is a 2007 car, second if rust on a sensor is going to inhibit normal braking then the part is defective and or the design is defective. I was lucky some one else is not going to be. Abs is designed to pump the brakes under certain conditions. I'm sure normal driving at 25 MPH on a dry normal surface isn't one of them. Even if the ABS fails the operator should still be able to stop the car by applying manual force to the brake petal. This failure does not allow effective use of the brakes! Second issue is the lights (both interior and exterior dimming) with audible surges in the climate control blower. The dealer says this is due to my remote starter even though this issue has been occurring well before the remote starter was involved. Third issue is the rear window repeatedly coming out of track there were other issues with the brakes rotors warping and brake light coming on, gas cap light coming on, tire sensors
I drive a 2007 chry. Sebring touring edition, the air bag light keeps coming on, cruise control does not work, and everytime it rains, the entire passengers side inside the veh gets really wet.
My airbag light comes on intermittently. Sometimes it blinks off and on a few minutes at a time as I drive for as long as I'm driving. Other times, it will stay on for 30 minutes or so continuously, then stay off. Or, I can go days without it coming on. I'm afraid it's going to either deploy for no reason while I'm driving and cause an accident, or not deploy if do have an accident. My brake lights come on almost every time I stop at a light. I have had the brakes checked by a mechanic, and they couldn't find anything wrong with them. My driver's side window has occasionally begun "sticking". Usually it is when I have rolled it down, it does not want to roll back up. My car is out of warranty, so I have not paid to have it hooked up to the computer at the dealership to see if there are any error codes. These have all started happening in the last three months, and are steadily getting worse.
I own a 2007 chrysler sebring touring sedan. Sometimes when breaking or accelerating, the vehicles electronic throttle control sensor light will engage, and the car may fail to break or accelerate, or even completely turn off. This has happened to me on the highway, as well as city streets. This has become a more frequent issue over the past 6 months. The vehicle also sometimes jerks or transmission will skip when this happens. I have noticed the dashboard lights and radio turn off with no reason while driving. I was told no problems could be found with the electrical system as of this moment, and am still having these same, dangerous problems.
I was on the express way going to work and the car idled down and was about to cut off when the electronic throttle control light came on and the car gas pedal would not work I had to cut it off then on before it would go and it take a long time for the transmission to change gear this car is a lemon and chrysler know it. It needs to be recalled for all these problems it only have 52,000 miles on it. It's a mess that chrysler should fix now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
