2007 Chrysler Sebring: won't start

Filed Sep 26, 2022 · Airbags, Body · CA

There were 7 recalls on my make, year, model vehicle. Three of which were Brakes, Air Bags, and the TPMS tire monitoring system. Other body parts, doors and hood releases had recalls along with hvac/air conditioning systems. Radiator/fan motor failures. Doors flying open during transit. The ABS control module could cause the brakes to lock-up during braking. Shorts from unused connectors for the computer/TPMS system/brakes and air bags have been causing many unpredictable breakdowns. Some predictable, from past records, state recorded Instances from 180,963 vehicles that just failure of the TPMS monitor system has already caused engine no start, dead battery, Inoperable cruise control, remote start system, engine stalling which could cause a "crash without warning". This was what i read on the www.autoblog site concerning this vehicle. I contacted the Chrysler Recall Center and the site says the dealer's techs would seal the wiring "free of charge", and to replace the front seat track position sensors "free of charge". The recall center said they wouldn't do any repairs at their "free of charge" policy for ME. They said that I would have to pay out-of-pocket, when the site says they already serviced 180,963 vehicles "free of charge". I'm broke and on fixed income. Why are they being so unfair. From what I heard, and I could be wrong, but I was made to believe that there is no expiration date for recalls. If they already state online, some of the recalls could cause a "crash without warning", why would they refuse me? This happened yesterday to me. The Check TPMS System warning notice appeared, along with the Air Bag Red warning light at the top of the speedometer, while I was driving. The tire pressure screen appeared showing the tire pressure of the four tires. They are all fully Inflated. The Air Bag red light came on/off a few times, while driving home and the tire pressure screen remains on all the time. I don't want an accident.

Fuse box completely shorted out and there was a burning smell. Car stalls without warning in traffic and on the highway and will not start. The car will crank but won't start leaving the vehicle disabled in the middle of traffic. The vehicle also can be parked and not start. Cranks but won't start. It has happened on more than 4 occasions 1 of the times my children were in the car and we were on the freeway. Another time I was alone on the freeway and another time I was stopped at a stoplight and it died and would not start leaving me stranded in the middle of the road in rush hour traffic. All other times have been when the car was parked. The date below is the most recent incident.

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 got ready to leave work and my car would not start. It kept turning but would not start. I had it towed from virginia to maryland to the dealership. After a diagnostic test it was discovered that the fuel pump pin melted out of the module. When I asked the dealer what causes the pin to melt, I was told that it was a wiring problem and that it could have possibly caused the car to catch on fire. I had to have it repaired and it was expenses. As I completed a search, I discovered that there were several other complaints regarding this same problem.

I have a 2007 chrysler sebring. Recently within the last year the car would stall at stop lights and then later this week wouldn't start. Towed to the shop once and the vehicle started for the shop and was unable to diagnose the problem. So I drove this car throughout the weekend and had no issues with it. Monday morning my wife goes to get in the car and it wouldn't start had to have the car towed back to the shop. This time problem never went away. My shop where I took the vehicle started looking into the problem and found out the fuel pump connector had melted causing the fuel pump to stop working. My concern is that melting wires and connectors right around a fuel source could cause a deadly fire all it needed was a spark for the car to ignite with a child in the back seat. I know many other people have had the same stalling issues and I feel this is something that possibly needs investigated before someone loses their lives for a faulty wiring issue with these cars.
