1 Automatic Transmission Control Module problem of the 2009 Chrysler Sebring

Failure Date: 01/03/2020

While drive the car loses power and will stall at random times cause the car to shut off, will restart right away and drive fine again can not idle for a long period of time like at a red light or stop sign cause when you accelerate you will have no power and have to try to get to side of the road so you don't get hit, took to mechanic said pcm problem that it needed a new pcm, looked up pcm problems with this car year and make and model and there is a recall but when I put my VIN in it's not one of them but my car is doing exactly as described for the recall on the 2009 Chrysler Sebring pcm recall not sure why mine is not included! the guy that owned the vehicle had this same exact problem and the car had been park since 2014 only driven if it was an emergency cause of safety concerns as the car will stall on a highway going 60mph.

2 Automatic Transmission Control Module problem of the 2010 Chrysler Sebring

Failure Date: 08/27/2018

Check engine light came on and I started having erractic shifting, codes came back as po755, p0700, p0716, p1607. This vehicle's transmission will not shift. I have taken to numerous shops half of them say it the pcm the other say it needs a transmission replacement. I have had the shift solenoid b replaced by dealership only for them to charge me then tell me it need a transmission replacement. The vehicle will still drive forward and backward but will not shift gears at all. Losses acceleration every so often then harsely goes back into gear while in motion. Rpm is very high but will still drive.

5 Automatic Transmission Control Module problem of the 2010 Chrysler Sebring

Failure Date: 06/02/2014

First time anything happened - hotoil warning, check engine light and a weird temp light came on - but all gauges were fine and car was driving fine. Took it to a couple different places to have a diagnostic run on the car. Codes came back that the ecm and tcm were not communicating. System was reset and car was fine. A few weeks later same thing. My husband was driving and it also quit shifting. At a stoplight we felt a clunk as it slipped into gear lights went out and everything seemed fine. About a week ago - same thing happened, took it to Chrysler garage and for $100. 00 ran a diagnostic and told us that the powertrain control module was defective. They updated the computer and it seemed to work fine. Tonight (only a week since it was updated) all of the lights came back on and it has quit shifting. I am going to have to go back to Chrysler for a $3000. 00 + replacement of the entire pcm (powertrain control module is the main computer system in the car) I have a warranty on the powertrain - but of course this part is not covered - even though it is the powertrain control module. It seems odd to me that the 2009 Sebring had a recall for this exact part and so did the 2011, but not the 2010. Strange -- and I can honestly say I hate Chrysler --- totally rude and unconcerned about the financial burden this will cause my family --- if the pcm is required for the powertrain to function properly - it should be considered part of the powertrain and should be covered under the warranty. Also I would be very interested to know why the 2010 is not being recalled for the same part as the 2009 and 2011.

6 Automatic Transmission Control Module problem of the 2004 Chrysler Sebring

Failure Date: 12/12/2007

I have a 2004 Chrysler Sebring with a 2. 7l v6 engine. The potentially dangerous problem which has come up numerous times is the engine rpm will surge causing the car to lurch forward. The problem occurs when coming to a stop - the engine rpm will drop to the point where the engine will almost stall, then surge excessively causing the car to lurch forward. This surge of rpms has caused me to almost hit cars in front of me and worse, sending me into an intersection with oncoming cars. I have called about this issue and brought my car in to have this issue examined - the only thing that was does was to reprogram the transmission pcm. I do see that this is a fairly common problem with other owners.
