Seven problems related to power train have been reported for the 1999 Chrysler Sebring. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Takata recall my concerns of accidental discharge,the dash light stays on longer than should.
Car will stall at any speed. Will restart after about 15 tries. Happens after filling tank. 1st thought it was bad gas. But tried different stations. Same problem. Sporadic. Often happens when I shut off car and then attempt to start it again a few minutes later. Doesn't seem to be a problem when the car is cold. Very dangerous situation on high speed roadways.
This car is a death trap and needs to be investigated. Car will lose all power, steering, and brakes while traveling at speeds up to 55mph. This is very dangerous and I almost killed myself because of this issue. I have taken the car to 3 mechanics and they cannot diagnose the problem. Chrysler won't even return my calls regarding the issue, which I've researched and found hundreds of others with this same problem. This is a huge safety hazard and Chrysler should take responsibility for whatever it is that is causing this to happen. I'm wondering if I can take legal action against them. This is absolutely unacceptable.
While slowly backing out of our driveway in reverse in our 1999 Chrysler Sebring convertible, the car suddenly accelerated to full throttle, I stepped on the brake, tried to shift to neutral, instead shifted to drive and the car shot forward at full throttle until hitting a golf cart and the end of the garage, despite standing on the brake full force. It only stopped after turning off the ignition.
Gear ratios for first and second gears were damaged by transmission fluid.
The transmission locked up, which also caused the rear tires to lock up.
The vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was inspected by a technician who determined the cause to be the transmission.
