My 2004 Chrysler Sebring lt stalled out on me in the middle of in intersection in a left turn lane. Could not get car restarted immediately and was in heavy traffic. Once I had restarted the vehicle I moved over to the shoulder where it happened again, and this also happened in a parking lot. This is dangerous. If stall would have happened 2 seconds later I would've been t-boned by a pickup truck. Upon stall the car engaged the e-brake and also lit up the following warning lights : engaged ebrake, oil, battery, and engine.

*what happened? use as much space as you need. We own this 2004 Chrysler Sebring as we purchased it new in the fall of 2004 from westborn Chrysler in dearborn. In the spring of 2005 we took a trip to florida, and as we were getting off the freeway, at the first stop light, the car was jerking to the point that if we did not put it in park it would hit the gar in front, then it stopped. It stopped several times in that trip. We took it to the dealer; they could not diagnose anything wrong with it. We drove the car short distances since, but recently started to drive about 20 miles one way, when it started to have the same symptoms. We experience several cases of sudden stalling, jerking and sudden stops when turning. It happens when have to stop after a highway drive. In one instance it almost hit our house. We took the car to the dealer again and were told that the right downstream O2 sensor, and the harness connector have to be replaced and the fuel injector needs to be serviced. Also the power steering pump is noisy. Chrysler would pay for the parts, but we would have to pick up the labor cost of $1,103, because the car has 47,000 miles, it is so far since the warranty expired. They claim this is not covered by the 70,000 miles or 7 years warranty. It is the engine and/or transmission that are malfunctioning, but they try to find different things to give me the run around and not to cover the expenses. After all, t really thing that this will not fix the problem, this is only the effect of a different cause, that is not even found. 2. Another issue is that once it rains, the carpet on the driver side is always wet. 3. A third issue, we had to replace the blower motor resistor. All common problems with these cars, as I read complaints. Why isn't Chrysler stepping up and fixing these problems?.
This is my second complaint filed on this website. My car has been placed in the repair shop at least 3 time for the same problem with no resolution. Car stalled again on 2/22/09 and 2/24/09.
Ticking of the engine, no sludge found as of today. Stalling at lights or sitting in traffic.
I bought the car in August of 06'. It's an 04' Chrysler Sebring. The damn car started stalling and stopping when I came to a stop. I dies on me at least once a day now. It finally stopped while driving today in the middle of traffic on a highway. It scares me. I read on auto beef (which is where I found you) of other complaints from many other people with the exact same problem. The dealerships and other mechanics cannot seem to find out what it is. I took my car to the dealership today and they ran a test and found nothing wrong with it. The same problem everyone else is having. I don't get it. I don't know what else to do. . . . Please help!!!.
Since purchasing our 2004 Chrysler Sebring (touring) new off the dealer's lot in the summer of 2004, we have experienced several cases of sudden and unexplained stalling. The problem seems to happen most often when we come to a stop during highway driving. The car usually sputters a few seconds before stalling. I then have to put the car in park, turn off the ignition and then turn the keys back. This has resulted in several near-misses because cars approaching from behind do not realize my vehicle is dead. Over the past two years, we have experienced about 15 to 20 stalling incidents. After the first few cases, we took the car to the Chrysler dealership and they could not replicate the stalling and could not find any fault codes or obvious defects. We have contacted the dealership several times since our visit to see if Chrysler has issued any updates on the apparent manufacturing issue. So far, we have not received any advice on what to do about the problem.
I purchased my car in Nov 2005 and on several occasions the car has stalled on me I started the car back up immediately. On other occasions the engine would rev up while sitting at a red light or either in a drive thru lane at a restaurant. The car was not in park it scared me to death. I don't know the reason for this. The car isn't under warranty any longer and I know the wont fix it problem.

I took it in and reported this to the dealer over 3 times to which they said they found nothing wrong. Once time it stalled in the middle of an intersection while the light was changing. I was in constant fear of it stalling while driving. Another time it stalled while I was going 15 miles per hour. It must have happened at least once a month. It often happened after refueling.
