My 2008 Chrysler Sebring has been in the shop since November 9, 2019. Defective tipm. The starter has caught fire 3 times. Vehicle stalls out and leaves you in the middle of the road. Battery has been replaced. Ignition switch is getting hot when keys are in and the key gets stuck in ignition. Tipm was replaced. Car is still not running due to dealership not knowing what new parts to try. Have also had several problems with cooling systems/fan not working properly.
Tl the contact owns a 2008 Chrysler Sebring. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled without warning and the tpms warning indicator remained illuminated. An independent mechanic replaced the battery, starter, and alternator; however, the failure continued. In addition, while driving over 60 mph, the vehicle would decelerate when the accelerator pedal was depressed. Steve white motors (3470 us hwy 70 se, newton, nc 28658, (888) 827-3721) was notified. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer and manufacturer indicated that the vehicle was excluded from NHTSA campaign number: 08v152000 (electrical system); although, the vehicle exhibited the same failure. The manufacturer was notified and did not assist. The approximate failure mileage was 180,000.
Tl-the contact owns a 2008 Chrysler Sebring. The contact stated while driving approximately 30 mph, the vehicle stalled without any prior warning. After the engine restarted the horn sounded independently. The vehicle was maneuvered to the side of the road and the contact touched the fuse box lid and then the cruise control, remote starter and horn became inoperable due to a short circuit. The contact also mentioned that the tire pressure monitoring system warning indicator illuminated after the failure occurred. There was a recall related to the failure under NHTSA campaign id number 08v1520000 (electrical system), however the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was notified of the defect. The approximate failure mileage was 67,000. Js.
Car has 50. 000 miles on it. This has been a problem for years. The ignition switch sticks when car is started and you have to manually turn it back to on so starter will disengage. When I heard of recall recently on other models I was surprised this car hadnt been included.
We have a 08 Chrysler Sebring it was taken to Nissan about 2 months ago we were told it was the battery charged 75. For a diag fee. The car itself dies when at a stop sign or red lite it will suddenly rev up the motor and just turn off. It started to stall and not turn on the battery was having to be charged over and over. Finally we changed the starter and bought a new battery that was 2 months ago. Now it is doing the same thing the battery is dying we have just taken it in to get recharged just to find out if it is the alternator. The recall that was done on the Sebring for the tire pressure monitor does not include our car. I don't see how the same vehicle the same year is doing the exact same problems does not get included in the recall.
