New battery, plugs and wires, new alternator. It will run for 5 seconds after jumping, then lights pop on and it dies. When jumping the negative also throws a spark while trying to start.

To the federal safety agency I just purchase a 2007 chrysler sabring. I took my daughter and myself out to dinner that evening and enjoyed our night as we got back in the car an start heading home just as I got on the freeway I suddenly realize that the interior dashboard light went out and it is not turning on . I was unable to see the speed thermometer. I pulled over and took a uber home. I look online regards to this part it is called instrument cluster. From what I read online this part goes out all the time on this vehicle. Unable to see what speed I'm going.I cannot drive please help to have this part fixed repair or replace the instigate cluster (interior lights) all other interior lights like the radio heater/AC panel lights works. I thank god thatthe traffic on the highway was not happy or busy I was able to pull over to the side of the freeway and then I look at all the panels the button for the lights and no matter what I did interior like did not turn on. There was no accident caused by this because I was safe but it is unsafe for driving on the road not able to see the speed you're going. Can we please figure out how to get this taking care of that is dangerous to drive at night unable to see the speed when but they stream crossing you don't know how fast you're going to estimate when to press on your break. Knowing younger kids think they know how to control the speed and I think not to be put in that position when you cannot see the speed it will take a chance on anything to my heart is not safe to drive on road at all I just wanna thank you from the bottom of my heart to safety committee group for the government I urge you please take care of the situation and issue thank you for taking the time and reading my request .please contact me and inform me on how is this gonna get taken care of.or ever is not either way please inform call or text me..........

I have researched and several of these cars have this issue. I bought my car used august 2018,I love this car...but.. The dash lights have never worked!! So, if you drive my car at dark you have no idea how fast you are driving!! Please won't you fix this? This is a costly repair, that is too well known for these cars and makes it very dangerous!!! Also, the cruise is affected and does not work as well.please fix for me.

We just bought a used car, this chrysler sebring, on 3/28/19. My daughter drove it home in the dark last night and said that there was no lighting in the instrument panel. After doing some research, I see that this often happens. Happens when vehicle is still and moving. I'm assuming this happened to the previous owners.

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.

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.

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.
