Engine Shut Off Without Warning problems of the 2008 Chrysler Sebring

My car shut down completely as I was driving, the steering wasn't working, I couldn't turn the wheels at all. The breaks would not work either, no matter how hard I pressed on the breaks the pedal would not move. Luckily I wasn't going fast or driving on the highway cause that would have killed me.

Tl- the contact owns a 2008 Chrysler Sebring. The contact stated that while driving about 50 mph,the tire and battery lights illuminated and the vehicle shut down when the contact reached his destination. The vehicle was towed to the dealer who diagnosed that the alternator shut the battery down. The dealer also stated that the computer system needed to be checked. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 88,000. Fe.

I was riding slow through my neighborhood about 15-20 miles per hour and the car just shut off,that was the first time!it had happened many times since then and also just like many others on here have stated,the car seem like it is about to shut off while im sitting at a light then all of a sudden it jumps forward almost causing me to rear end someone,that happens quite a bit or it shuts off while idling. Oddly no one knows why??this car needs to be recalled before people start getting seriously hurt or die.

Vehicle shuts off while driving it, 1st. Time I was going about 30mph it shut off without warning. Next time I was reversing in driveway and it just shut off. Both times put in park and restarted. Dealership tried to duplicate problem and put it on computer, but nothing shows up. It was a couple months in between episodes.

The 2008 Chrysler Sebring convertible that I had would just shut off on me when I was driving or if I was at a stop light. I was not hard on the car and I drove it regular. One day I was stopped in the middle of lunch hour traffic and the light was red, I went to push the gas and realized the car had shut off on me. It didn't seem like it stalled because if a car usually stalls it would shake or something. The car just turned off at the red light and when the light went green I couldn't go. I was stuck in the middle of traffic and had to have people go around me. I didn't know if I put the car in park I could go again. I didn't expect it to just shut off on me in the first place it was a newer car. It has happened more than once. I am just thankful one of the other times I was in a parking lot with my kids in the car.

Life threatening safety issue to my 2008 Chrysler Sebring convertible. Approx 2-3 mos ago while driving the engine cut off without any warning what so ever. 3 weeks ago (from 15jan09) this happened while on I-95. When this happens you can not steer or use brakes. The car coasted in the direction that is was steering in. This lead my car half in the grass and half in the middle of the lane. Again, no warning of anykind. This Monday (12jan09) it happened while I had my kids in the car, I was about to turn when the engine shut down again. This was a reality check since my kids could have been injured (luckily no one was coming). I have taken my car to the dealership and twice they have run diagnostics,looked it over thoroughly,and driven the car twice without being able to duplicate the problem. Today they have told me they have talked to the Chrysler engineers who stated they have heard of the problem but have no solution. I have found multiple complaints as mine off the internet dated as far back as April 2008. I have called Chrysler's customer service number twice as well. This has been no help at all. Today,after telling them what was told to me by the technicians,they said they would forward my case on and I would here back from someone in two-four business days. In the meantime, I am to continue to drive my car. I just can not believe that Chrysler would knowingly put someone in a life threatening situation. I don't know what to do but I need your help. In the meantime I am in a rental car that I am paying for and have to turn back in tomorrow (16jan09) when I pickup my Sebring. I can not afford to pay for a rental car and make my car payment as well. Please help me!.
