general problems of the 2008 Chrysler Sebring

The car loss compression in the middle of driving. Try to crank it but it drains the battery. Also, I bought the car a year the buy here pay here company ripped out the lemon law page for tennessee but kept the other pages in.

I was on my way to work. All the warning light appeared on my dash. Then all the warning light, radio, speedometer gage and all head light and tail lights went out. I was driving in the dark. My engine bogged down no power. I was barley moving. I replaced the battery no difference. I replaced the alternator worked for 3 minutes and then the car was back to the same as before. I contacted a nearby mechanic facility they told me that it was most definitely the fuse panel under the hood. That's its not a recall but a lawsuit replacement. I notified the manufacturer and they told me my VIN number was not under recall. I'm confused on what to do not. I'm in no way able to purchase a new vehicle at this time. Nor spend hundreds or thousands in repairs. Please help.

Purchased may 15th. And now car sits in my apartment parking lot as a roadblock for all tenants since may 27th. 2008sebring started fine. Drove 2 miles roundtrip, vehicle ride was rough upon turning into residence thankfully I was not on the street in traffic when the car decided to stop ,the windows were down I still have not been able to get them rolled up . Lights instrument panel lights went haywire flashing,ding chime sound continuous. The backdash illuminate light has never worked. Wont accept jump from cables,has power in areas under hood, charged to 12v on charger able to get code (dtc-u1403 implausible fuel level signal. Just like the recall of the wiring issue it's similar. The week this happened the tire pressure indicator in the lower left corner of dash was lit up and the cruise control light would come on but when engaged it would not drive at the limit set only reduce is speed the stereo cd changer didn't work I thought it was just because it was old the cigarette lighter which I used for my power source the light on that device would flicker in and out showing it wasn't getting a good connection the key would get stuck in the ignition or do a continuous storage where you it would not spring back as it should you'd have to turn it off and then try to restart it the battery in the fob work just fine before all of this took place now the battery is dead in the fob as well. It won't hold a charge I want to know how it's going to get fixed and with whose money?? $95 for diagnostic. While covering windows later that night,I was able to see a dim red light where the tire pressure indicator was lit up at the fuses are fine the battery is 6 months old but it is constantly draining I it won't stay charged I can't get it out of gear it to put it in neutral to move it anywhere. Main purpose was to get me to my doctor appointments now I can't even do that& I haven't been able to do that. . I think this recall has revisited. Its unsafe.

Engine frequently stalls while driving. I've had my car shut off while I'm driving many times, the steering wheel and brakes lock up and it makes it hard to get off the street to safety. This happens a lot. It is very dangerous and scary. I get anxiety everytime I drive because I'm scared of it happening again. My car once turned off in the middle of a busy intersection while trying to turn. It came on after about 45 seconds but it was terrifying. Battery often dies (just replaced it). Horn would go off randomly without stopping for a long time. I had to disconnect the horn (on both sides) because it would keep randomly going off with no way to stop it. Cruise control stopped working one day. Sometimes it comes up when I press cruise control but it turns off when I try setting a speed. Drivers window broke inside, I think something snapped inside the door. I've had it replaced 3 times but it keeps breaking. A/c makes an awful grinding noise sometimes, but it goes away if I turn the a/c off then back on. Also with the a/c, a door or something inside the dash will get stuck every so often and it makes a loud clicking like noise but it goes away after about 20 seconds (something to do with the actuator?). Brake light will come on sometimes when I stop. It goes away shortly after I start driving again. Abs light has been on my dash for a few months now. Most of these issues have been happening for over a year now. Most of this shows up under a recall from 2008, electrical system: wiring. It doesn't show up under my VIN number but I'm having the same exact problems.

The contact owns a 2008 Chrysler Sebring convertible. The contact stated that while at a stop light, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact was able to restart the vehicle. The contact called the local dealer and was referred to another dealer for assistance. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The contact stated the failure was related to the NHTSA campaign number: 07v473000 (engine and engine cooling). The approximate failure mileage was 106,000.

In February 2021 my car wouldn’t stop, tried to give it a jump and it still wouldn’t start. Replaced the battery and it started working again. In April 2021 my engine light came on. I got a diagnostic and the error code read: p2016 intake manifold runner position sensor/switch circuit low bank 1. I didn’t get it fixed. Shortly after, I began hearing a faint crackling noise and noticed when I would drive on turn pikes my a red brake symbol would briefly pop up on my dash board and then go away. In may 2021 my horn stopped working and front right turn signal light stopped working. I tried to get a new one installed it wouldn’t work. I was told it could be an electrical issue. In July 2021 my right low beam head light stopped working. I tried to get a new bulb installed and it still wouldn’t work. At this time I was told the same thing, that it seems like there may be an electrical issue. This month, November 2021, a few days ago on Monday November 1st, I began noticing an acceleration issue in the morning. I would press the accelerator and it wouldn’t pick up until a few seconds later, it was like a delay. Later that day while I was driving on the free way a red flash symbol with lines between it began flashing on my car and my car wouldn’t drive over 20 mph. I pulled over. Shortly after I turned my car back on and it began driving semi normal and I was able to get home. I tried out my car the next day and in the morning the same thing happened again. The red flash symbol with 2 lines on the side of it began flashing on my dashboard and my car wouldn’t go over 20 mph. I’m not sure what the issue is but when I looked up what the red flashing symbol, I noticed a few others who had a similar experience with their 2008 Chrysler Sebring which made me want to look up whether there was a recall and I found out there was but when I searched whether my car was eligible through my VIN number it said there was none unrepaired.

The contact owns a 2008 Chrysler Sebring. The contact stated that while driving approximately 60 mph, the vehicle suddenly stalled. The contact waited for a while for the vehicle to cool off before being able to operate the vehicle as intended. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact had taken the vehicle to a certified mechanic who replaced the alternator, battery and tipm however, the failure continued. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 23,000.

At any given moment loss of power will occur and motor will shut off. Anytime on the freeway or parked. Occasionally at random intervals car will crank but not turn over until after repeated attempts to start it will turn over appropriately.

My car cranks and starts, then dies about 2 seconds later. After several tries, it usually starts. However, I have had it into a Chrysler dealer twice without them finding anything wrong. It usually decides to run just fine while in the shop. It will often go for a few months, then start repeating this scenario. This has been on-going for about a year.

I took the vehicle after purchase to the shop to look over and seller agreed that he would cover the cost for "sensor" issue as he stated! the car needs a camshaft and due to the age of the vehicle the mechanic stated if that part is replaced it will possibly need a transmission as well as a new engine. Therefore the repairs would exceed the value of the vehicle or not work at all and waste all that money. Car had issues starting from day 1 too.

3 seperate but related events. My horn began honking at random times, eventually I could not turn it off while in my parking garage at work. Ended up removing battery connection to stop the honking. When I arrived home I disconnected the horns. My wipers randomly do not work. I've had to rely on rainx. Sometimes they work and other times I cant turn them off. They sometimes stop in the middle of the window. Last issue was complete loss of power while driving at 70mph. Luckily I was able to pull over. Strange thing was it started right back up. But 10 miles later the same thing happened. Based on these 3 things happening within the last month I think it is part of the tipm module. Many complaints and this item is part of a class action law suit and a voluntary recall for other Chrysler vehicle in the same year range as my vehicle.

When making a left hand turn car quit running and turned off.

This car is a deathtrap , and accelerates at high speeds at any given time without warning !!!! could die or wind up killing someone . Looks like it has been known for years and nothing as come of it! just bought the car, had it shipped to my state & I cannot even drive it! and cannot sell it to anyone as its dangerous. Noone can find a fix for it. Chrysler played dumb and over the years claims they never haerd about this major problem , yet its online . . Many people have been thru hell. Maybe even a death . . . I need help. . Or answers.

My 2008 chyrsler seabring engine stop on highway and steering wheel lock. The reason why is a chyrsler defected part (tipm) which is total intergrated power module. Chyrsler have a lawsuit on them about this problem. My car is at the dealer for repair. Cost $1100. 00 which I have to pay. This problem should be fix for free under recall. Also horn blowing, door window moving , trunk opening,interior light not coming on. It would help I you could contact the dealer concerning my issue.

While driving the engine light came on, loss speed occurred, car felt like in was going to dye on the freeway. No excellaration power. Engine light flashing, throttle light flashing in red. Car has no pick up. I have called Chrysler and was told no recall. I had it checked at local auto shop and code was p0035. Crank shaft sensor. Many customers have had this issue and no one not even Chrysler can figure out the problem.

While driving on a highway at high-speed, all the electrical instruments began flashing on/off. The airbag light began flashing and a chime could be heard. This occurs intermittently (3-5 times per year) and Chrysler cannot properly diagnose the problem. With this latest incident, the dealership told me it would cost $800 for a new power control module. I researched online only to learn there are thousands of people with identical complaints about their Chrysler vehicles, while NHTSA refuses to order a recall. I refuse to allow Chrysler to perform work on this vehicle unless they can guarantee the repair and cap the cost. I purchased this vehicle new and Chrysler failed to disclose two auto body repairs performed prior to sale - I discovered this on the Chrysler website and since spent over $1,500 to repair it because Chrysler refused to accept any responsibility after the lemon laws expired.

This has happened on several different occasions--becoming more frequent and lasting longer duration each time. While traveling various speeds (can and has happened anywhere from 5mph-60mph) if any pressure is applied to accelerator after breaking no matter the speed all power is lost to the car a red lighting bolt light appears on the dash and the rpm's will stay between 4,000-5,000. Each time having to pull off to the side of the road and attempt for it to restart (depends on if it will or not--usually takes it a while). Will get up to speed again and if I have to break for any reason or even slow down just a little without apply the breaks it can completely loose power. Also do not have any dash lights when the head lights are turned on. They appear in the center console but went out in 2009 just after I bought the car, and after several estimates in the thousands of dollars it remains with no lights (so in no way can you see the speed or anything else on the dash after dark. ).

Car engine reeves up and car jumps forward at stops, or car wants to die. Took to pensacola FL. Chrysler dealer spent over $800 to fix. Still does it. Now engine is starting to nock. Frayed to take back. Cannot afford the assessment fees every time you take it in.

The contact owns a 2008 Chrysler Sebring. The contact stated that the engine light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the failure could not be diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure and current mileage was 78,906.

While driving at a steady speed, vehicle will hesitate when climbing an incliine or when I accelerate, this is not a steady happening. I have taken it to two different Chrysler dealerships to have it computer checked but nothing shows up. A younger mechanic at the second dealership stated it sounded to him like possibly the clutches were slipping and causing the problem. Since it doesn't show up on the computer he suggested that I just continue driving until such time as it may stop moving completely and then the problem should be able to be found.

When stopped at a light with my foot on the brake, the engine sometimes races and the car lurches forward. Engine rpms go up to about 4000, and shortly return to idle. This happens about once per month. This is a safety problem. I could hit the car in front of me or a pedestrian in a crosswalk. I will not let my wife drive this car because of this problem. I have had the fuel injectors cleaned but to no avail.

2008 Chrysler Sebring convertible. 3 times,once while in park, twice while at a light, engine revs up all of a sudden. Twice this year (2010), once last year.
