Wiring problems of the 1997 Chrysler Sebring

Four problems related to wiring have been reported for the 1997 Chrysler Sebring. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Wiring problem

Failure Date: 07/13/2010

My 1997 Sebring convertible oil light came on when I was driving in a heavy rain during rush hour. After stopping at a red light at a major highway intersection, my car died midway through the intersection. My oil pressure sensor wiring is the cause for my fuel pump to cut off as a safety measure for the cars protection but almost cost me my life. After seeing the dealer and looking at online forums, I have found this is common for the 2. 7l engine in my car and many other autos made by damlier Chrysler. If the 18 wheeler would have not changed lanes I would have died. I am waiting to replace the wiring because this is several hundreds of dollars of work.
