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.

While driving the check engine light came on and the engine stalled. When tested the engine code came back as electrical short. The dealership where I purchased the car did not fix the problem but cleared the engine code. A few weeks later the check engine light came back on. While traveling at 50 mph, and coming to a stop, the engine stopped running and the brakes failed to stop the car. After going thru a red light another car broadsided my car.
I was just driving my Chrysler Sebring 2000 this afternoon when the brakes failed completely. I was lucky to be in a parking lot when this happened and I don't want to imagine what would have happened on a highway! there was no warning at all, no light coming on, nothing, and the brake pedal just collapsed completely. I will have to take the car to the garage on Tuesday. I wanted to know what I can do about that to be sure this does not happen again. . . . It's scary to think that you can drive a car 65 miles an hour with suddenly no brakes at all!! I was just very lucky this time!.

Tried to stop approx. 1 month ago and first applied barkes, went to floor. I released them and applied them a second time and they stopped me but to avoid a rearend accident, I veered my car to the shoulder. I contacted the service department of tupelo auto sales they asked me where the car was. I told them that it only failed the one time so I was just cautious as I drove on into work. They told me that it would be hard to find until it messed up more often so they could see the problem. I had no more problems until Dec. 5th on my way home from work. . I started hearing a clanking sound that sounded like I was having a flat tire so I pulled over to check. The tires appeared to be fine. I was only a mile or so from home so I drove on home. Once home, I inspected the underside of the car and the wheels but could not see anything different. The following morning, when I left home, the car seemed ok. Once I arrived at my first stop sign which is at the bottom of a hill, I applied my brakes and again they went to the floor. The second time I applied them, they caught and I stopped. I turned onto the highway and travelled about 150 feet and the front (seeming) locked up similar to the way it does when you place a car in park and cut off the key. I was headed to the right onto the soft shoulder of the road and was fighting the car because I was headed for the ditch and an electrical generator on the side of the road. The steering or brakes (?) broke loose, sending me into an oncoming pickup, the pickup hit the front of my car, then the truck hit a van which was following me. My airbags did not deploy, my steering locked and my brakes failed, all within 1 1/2 miles of my house. Chrysler has sent an investigator to look at the car today, but even he said that it would be difficult to find a problem that only happens periodically. Now, even if the car is repaired, I am afraid that I will have the same problem again. I had no blemish on my driving record.
