Check engine light came on and I started having erractic shifting, codes came back as po755, p0700, p0716, p1607. This vehicle's transmission will not shift. I have taken to numerous shops half of them say it the PCM the other say it needs a transmission replacement. I have had the shift solenoid b replaced by dealership only for them to charge me then tell me it need a transmission replacement. The vehicle will still drive forward and backward but will not shift gears at all. Losses acceleration every so often then harsely goes back into gear while in motion. Rpm is very high but will still drive.

The check engine light came on aug 2016. Garage says it needs a new integrated control module, told them to order one, they said it will take several months because 100's are on back order, they said to go ahead and drive the car. The windshield wipers are not working now (june 2017) and the garage says it is because of the integrated control module. The module is still on back order and we are number 450 or such. This seems to be a common problem the the sebring (now chrysler 200). We wonder what will go wrong next, will the engine die or worse maybe it will speed out of control.

I was getting off the freeway and the car started to slow down and stutter so I turned off the main road and the engine turned off and the power steering went out. Luckily it was a sunday so there wasn't any traffic behind me but if there had been there could have been an accident since I had no control over power steering or the engine shutting off. There was no indication on the dash board that there was a major issue. I tried to start it a few times but had to wait over 5 minutes before it finally started. I took it to the mechanic the next day and after looking it over they said I needed a new engine. It didn't make sense because I change the oil every 3,000 miles and the check engine on the car says there is a gas cap issue. It says nothing about the engine having a problem. I was told the 2.7 engine has alot of problems and mine had built up oil sludge. Once in a while the car would say to change the oil or say there is an issue with the oil pressure but every time I took it in to get checked I was told the oil is fine. Without the dash telling me there is a serious issue a mechanic will not know of the oil sludge problem until they tear apart the engine. This is extremely dangerous the dash warning system is supposed to let you know when there is an issue with the engine. I really think chrysler should stop making cars all together because I have seen so many complaints about the issue and there is not enough media out there letting us know of this. It is a big safety hazard we need to know when the engine is so bad it may shut off in traffic. I just had my safety and emissions done 2 months before and it passed just fine so nothing in the alert system warns of an engine problem.

First time anything happened - hotoil warning, check engine light and a weird temp light came on - but all gauges were fine and car was driving fine. Took it to a couple different places to have a diagnostic run on the car. Codes came back that the ECM and TCM were not communicating. System was reset and car was fine. A few weeks later same thing. My husband was driving and it also quit shifting. At a stoplight we felt a clunk as it slipped into gear lights went out and everything seemed fine. About a week ago - same thing happened, took it to chrysler garage and for $100.00 ran a diagnostic and told us that the powertrain control module was defective. They updated the computer and it seemed to work fine. Tonight (only a week since it was updated) all of the lights came back on and it has quit shifting. I am going to have to go back to chrysler for a $3000.00 + replacement of the entire PCM (powertrain control module is the main computer system in the car) I have a warranty on the powertrain - but of course this part is not covered - even though it is the powertrain control module. It seems odd to me that the 2009 sebring had a recall for this exact part and so did the 2011, but not the 2010. Strange -- and I can honestly say I hate chrysler --- totally rude and unconcerned about the financial burden this will cause my family --- if the PCM is required for the powertrain to function properly - it should be considered part of the powertrain and should be covered under the warranty. Also I would be very interested to know why the 2010 is not being recalled for the same part as the 2009 and 2011.
