The check engine light came on Aug 2016. Garage says it needs a new integrated control module, told them to order one, they said it will take several months because 100's are on back order, they said to go ahead and drive the car. The windshield wipers are not working now (June 2017) and the garage says it is because of the integrated control module. The module is still on back order and we are number 450 or such. This seems to be a common problem the the Sebring (now Chrysler 200). We wonder what will go wrong next, will the engine die or worse maybe it will speed out of control.
While driving to work, my Chrysler seabrings windshield wipers started moving on their own. At first it was maybe once . After a couple of days they stopped working completely. Not having working windshield wipers in florida is dangerous because it pretty much rains every day. I took my car to a local Chrysler dealership and now I am being charged $1100 a switch and a tipm. I had no idea what a tipm was so I looked it up on the internet. Seems Chrysler has a defective part on almost all of their vehicles which control all electrical devices. This situation is so unfair. These tipm parts should be replaced free of charge.
Wipers have a mind of their own. Sometimes they just quit working during a rain storm and other times they change speed on their own and other times they stop right in your field of vision during a rain storm. You can sometimes get them working again by pulling off the road if you can do safely and shut the car off and restart it and things go back to normal. I had a mechanic look at it and there is nothing wrong mechanically wrong with the wiper motor or linkage. The problem is with the intergrated body computer that controls the wiper system. I told my Chrysler dealership about it and they said that there wasn't a recall about it yet and that yes it is the computer that is the problem and other people are having the same problem. This is a serious safety problem that needs fixed before there are fatal accidents.
The contact owns a 2010 Chrysler Sebring convertible. The contact stated that when accessing the driver or passenger interior or exterior doors, the window glass would release either upward or downward within an inch or less. In cold weather temperatures the interior doors would not close securely due to the window glass extending inches beyond the edge of the roof and required the occupant to manually hold the door when the vehicle was in operation. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer six times for the problem. There were several unknown repairs performed to the vehicle but to no avail. The dealer informed the contact that the failure was a manufacturer's defect and there was not a remedy available that would correct the problem. The manufacturer was notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 8,000.
