2 Tank Assembly problem

Failure Date: 12/15/2004

I purchased my 2004 Sebring at shellby Chrysler Jeep\eagle dealership. Just a few short months later ,my car started just cutting off. Then it started jumping forward while I had my foot on the brake almost causing me to get hit in several intersections. I took my car in more than 7 times to be told that they could not find a problem because the check engine light did not come on therefore it would not pull a code. Meanwhile, I have to take it back for a leak somewhere. This happened twice. Now 2 years later just as my warranty has ran out, the car starts cutting off and leaving me stranded. I had to have towed to the dealership only for the service department to Smart off at MA and tell me that it was out of gas. I knew this was not true because the first time this happened the first thing I did was try to put gas in it. Also, when I was having trouble only a few months after I bought the car that something was wrong with the gas gauge,but of course,they could not find a problem. The car cut off again and I took it back,asked them to check the gas gauge and then was told the sending unit in the gas tank was bad,now that its out of warranty and I have to pay over 700. 00 for the part to be replaced. Oh yeah,and the paint is peeling off!.
