general problems of the 2007 Chrysler Sebring

Airbag light on, horn and cruise control stopped working, found out its the clock spring, had trouble steering the car at one point, found that a part broke the clock spring and got lodged in the steering components, happened during a turn onto a street.

When driving in the rain and going through puddles of water the steering will go out. Within minutes the battery light will come on. I doubt it is my battery because it is only a year old. The only way I am able to gain the power steering back is by pulling over turning vehicle off and restart. This has been very dangerous at times because it has happened a few times when I actually turning in a curve or a parking spot. I have almost wrecked numerous times scaring me and my teenage boys.

Takata recall I am driving down highway at 70 mph and car just shuts off no warning cant steer it and brakes dont work could of killed me and the kids.

When turning steering-wheel to the left or right there is a knocking noise. The fix is the replacement of "gear-rack" with inner-tie-rods, and front-end realignment at a cost of $1000. 00. This seems to be a chronic problem with this series of the Chrysler Sebring. . Read more...

I purchased my car used 3 yrs ago. I paid if off this year. The ongoing troublesome issue is that the car stalls out unexpectedly- usually during wet weather. It has happened about 5 times or so. But, it has almost happened many more times. . . The car sputters and just about stalls out. Again, all during wet weather. I contacted the dealership where I purchased car after the 1st incident. They took the car and said I needed a new battery ; that it was being drained when I had wipers, heat, radio etc all on at once and that was why it stalled. I went with it. Well, it has stalled several times since. All while driving and very scary. The power steering goes out. Another thing that may or may not be related. . . Is that the dash lights flicker on and off; also a safety issue. I will be driving and all of a sudden can't see my speedometer or anything. I think there is definitely an electrical issue. I see that there have been recalls related to the electrical system. I just don't know what to do. I think they should look into this.

As I approached a stop light and had to stop, the engine stalled, and I had to restart it from the ignition. It happened on three other occasions (once in a left turn at a stop sign). The steering problem is progressively aggravating to the point of loosing power assist when I make a left turn, and occasionally a right turn, also. It started as a small inconvenience, but at this point, if I am not very careful when I make a left turn, the car would go strait instead of turning.

Tl- the contact owns a 2007 Chrysler Sebring. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle in wet and humid conditions the electronic throttle sensor light would illuminate and the vehicles speed would suddenly reduce to approximately 20 mph and the brakes and power steering would malfunction. In addition the engine would erroneously rev very high and the accelerator pedal would loose tension and could be pushed to the floor. The vehicle was taken to several local dealers(unknown) who were unable to duplicate the failures. The vehicle was not repaired. In addition when refueling in colder weather conditions the fuel would spray out of the filler hole. The cause of the failure was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failures. The failure mileage was 10,000. Jft.
