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.
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.
While driving - electrical issues. Fuel gage does not work. Dashboard display lights go out intermittently, power window issues, tire pressure (tpms) light comes on,.
This car has a faulty totally integrated power module (tipm). This caused several problems including: the car stalling suddenly while driving at about 50 mph on a straight road, the horn going off intermittently and uncontrollably both while the vehicle was stationary and while it was moving, and a check engine light that would not clear. I replaced the faulty tipm at my own expense and it resolved all these problems. Chrysler has issued recalls for tipms, but they have never recalled the 2008 Sebring. I have the original, faulty tipm out of the Chrysler that I can send for testing and verification.
Driving down a slight hill at 35mph using no throttle, the car stalled. No lights, no alarms. Realized it stalled when I had no power steering for corner. No power steering. No power brakes. Muscled car to stop safely, but if my 16yo daughter had been driving. . . . Very scary. Car has stalled once while idling at a stop and stuttered like it was going to stall at a red light twice since the initial stalling incident.
When the outside temp is below 40 degrees and I fill my 2008 Sebring convertible with gas, gasoline gushes and blows out of my car filler tube all over the place. I have talked to the Chrysler dealer and they say there is no recall for this. However my 2008 Dodge nitro had the exact same problem and there was a recall to fix it. I have video of this happening.
My car both in both park/drive will sporadically jump in rpm's for no reason. This has happened on 40+ occasions in which the vehicle will rev from 600 rpm's up over 3500 rpm's within a second. I called Chrysler and Chrysler stated that they have not have any reports from other vehicles and gave me no solutions to this problem. My check engine light is not on. I mentioned to Chrysler that I am afraid that my car is going to one day rev while I am driving and I will not be able to control it. I am afraid that I am going to either injure myself, passengers, other motorist and/or pedestrians. I have been at many stop lights and stop signs where it has revved and moved forward even with my foot firmly on the brake. I want to report this in case something happens, I do not want to be liable for the cars actions since Chrysler does not seem to want to take my issue seriously.
I lost power to my speed, my brakes failed. I was able to stop the car with my emergency brake. Once stopped I turned off my vehicle. Once I restarted the vehicle, the light did not come on however I still did not have the speed. My transmission would not shift from 3rd to overdrive. It would stay at 3000 rpm at 55 mph. My car normally runs @ 2500rpm or less up to 60mph. I do not know what I need to deo to have this issue resolved. This is my second time experiencing this with this vehicle. I also have a 2009 Chrysler pt cruiser and owned a 2006 Chrysler Sebring and never have experienced this.
In August 2010, I bought a 2008 Chrysler Sebring with only 25,000 miles. Now with only 32,000 miles - the throttle part has to be replaced because of stalling and also the computer system has to be replaced. I have read the complaints that the throttle can malfunction and speed up the vehicle! and I have read the complaints that the throttle can stall out the vehicle. Why hasn't the throttle part (code p2107) been recalled? I was told that the throttle part is only guaranteed for 1 year. This should be a manufacture defect and Chrysler is putting defective throttles on this model of Sebring and not taking responsiblity for this defect. How many others have had this problem? why doesn't Chrysler have a warranty in effect for this problem before more drivers get killed or injured? please respond.
