Rear disc brakes. I had a repair shop and a dealership assess what they both found to be what's called a backplate. It mounts onto both left and right spindles. The backplate on left and right hold or guide the pads in place on both sides of the caliper. The pins show to be almost rusted out. The dealership told me the left and right backplate is unavailable and obsolete. So my options are to find a shop that can fabricate the parts or modify the rear brake system. Truly a poor design. A prototype that slipped through the cracks. I have invested thousands over the years into the vehicle so I would have a problem free efficient ride when I retire. I now had to finance another vehicle because the Chrysler Sebring is no longer driveable. The dealership told me 100. 00 to scrap it. Unacceptable! I will continue to pursue my options. I invested alot of blood money into the vehicle and the help I received to date is park it or junk it. That is not even a remote consideration.

Takata recall. I am having several issues with the whole braking system, as it is very difficult to pinpoint the exact cause of having no brakes. I have no type of brakes at all. When taken off parking, even with foot on brake, car will begin to move. This seems to be very common in these cars. The fuel pump was also replaced as it was letting less power go through. This happens as the car sits in parking, as well as, when driving. Also, the mechanic that looked at the car said that the pump needed to be replaced due to possible fire hazards. The lights flicker on and off by themselves, sometimes radio works, sometimes, lights get stuck on.

The car will stop suddenly while driving I've been told its an electrical issue in the transmission, but I see from the recalls that Chrysler knows about these issues yet these cars are still been sold and driven even though they can have very dangerous consequences. The doors locks and unlocks on their own, the lights flicker. The car will also while in park jerk and rev as if someone is hitting the gas even though they are not, this also happens when in drive and my foot is on the break.

Possible takata recall!!! while coming down and around a corner on a highway there was a car turning and I did not have enough times to stop. Which caused me to rearend the other vehicle. It was a beautiful day so we had my 2006 Chrysler Sebring convertible top down. I was driving while my 15 year old daughter was in the front passenger seat. My12 year old daughter directly behind her and my 7 year old niece behind me. The front air bags deployed. My 15 year old whom was wearing her seatbelt was thrown forward due to her seatbelt locking mechanism not locking. Thankfully the seatbelt eventually caught her by the right thigh saving her from being ejected from the vehicle. She substained what could have easily been a life threatening laceration to left side (but more towards the middle) of her foreheard directly above her left eyebrow. The laceration was 8cm, the shape of a cross, and it was 3 layers deep. My younger daughter whom was directly behind her had a patch of skin on top of her left foot that was cut off. We are in the process of getting someone to come and take a look at the vehicle before the insurance company gets rid of it in the next week. We are not sure if my 15 year old daughter's head was cut from airbag shrapnel flying out since the size, shape, and location of the laseration is the same size, shape and location on one of the bigger trakata air bag injuries that is out there publicly. Or if her injury was due to her hitting her head on something due to the fact that her seatbelt locking mechanism was not working. Either way this needs to be looked into before someone else is injured or worse yet killed. . . Please look into this. . . * the passenger airbag light would go on every once and awhile but would then go off when you moved the passenger chair back or forth. The same problem the 2010 Chrysler Sebring convertibles are just now recalling.

I purchased this vehicle last Dec,2014. . It is a used vehicle though, its in very good condition. I was backing out of my drive way approx. 2 weeks after I bought it & the right side passenger side the suspension, arm & ball joint just fell out. . The day prior to this I heard a definite knock from that wheel base. In fact when I was backing out of the drive, I was on my way to the mechanic. Well, being stranded, I had to call a tow service to haul it in for repair. . They said they could replace it,& the charge for the assembly would cost $112. 00 plus. . Having it replaced & repaired. It is now 10 months later & the knocking is back & my concern is that it will fall out when I'm driving causing an awful accident. This is wear I stand now w/ this issue that is recorded under your recall descriptions. Thank you. .

My throttle control light as well as my check engine light came on in my car. I called the dealership and they told me it was safe to drive and it was due to cold weather. They made an appt. For me to come in a week later. A few days after I called them about the lights being on in my car I was pulling out of a convenient store into on coming traffic with my daughter in the car on a busy road, I was going to turn right when my steering wheel locked up as well as the breaks and cars were coming at us at 40mph. My car kept rolling into the other lane of traffic. I had to pull the e-break to try to stop rolling. I blocked traffic and could not move my car. When I put it in reverse and drive nothing happened. The police had to be called because I was in the middle of traffic. I had my car towed and I was told my battery caused the problem. The lights are now off on the dash but my breaks seem to be pushing up when I press down. Not sure what this means but I don't feel the battery was the problem.

Car turns off automatically at low speed. Brakes lock at the same time this happens. I took it back to dealer to get serviced, and they stated that nothing was found. The serviceman did tell me that he called the Chrysler corp, and they told him they never heard of anything like this happening but on a forum on the internet, there are many complaints of this occurring. I told the man that it is a safety issue and how dangerous it is, and he agreed with me. This malfunction occurred two times already since I bought the car from the dealer. Fuccillo vw 2242 central avenue, schenectady, NY 12304 (518) 374-9161. My next issue is that I need sway bars. I brought the car back yesterday Dec 27, 2014, because as I was at a stop light, the light changed green, the transmission shifted gears at the same time I accelerated on the gas to go and I heard clicking for about a mile. The noise went away. I explained the problem to the serviceman and I was told that I need sway bars now. I just purchased the car in sept of this year, and I'm so disappointed to encounter all these problems. My extended warranty does not cover the work. I also say that this has been wearing from the previous owner and I am not at fault, nor should I have to pay for the work. I seriously do not even want this car anymore, and I am paying for it monthly from a loan they gave me from capital one financing. This is chaos, and has exacerbated my illness of having ms. I was duped. Please help.

I was pulling out of craft street onto south main st came out wide then straightened out my cumbys chug jug cup was loose in the cup holder on the passenger side. It tipped over under my feet and, it rolled under the brake pedal. We both tried to reach for the cup at the same time. As soon as we looked up we were heading into a parked vol KS wagon. I tried to hit the brakes and, my foot slid off the brake pedal and, hit the gas instead. I turned the wheel as soon as I saw that we were about to hit the car.

On Aug. 8, 2014, with in minutes of exiting the 135 frwy at the lake exit in pasadina, CA. , and slowing to turn into a del taco, the breaks on our car "totally locked up!". The following day we had the car towed to alhambra Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram. I was very detailed in what happened to the service manager. The result was a new computer to monitor and administer braking instructions to the vehicle. I almost left the dealership before I noticed no mention of the incident as I had originaly described. This concerned me and I asked them if the remembered why I had the car towed in. Upon their aknowledgement, they updated my bill description to include the original reason my car was towed to their facility. I feel they were not as attentive to what could have been a terrible accident only minutes before and I have had several discussions as well as e-mail exchanges with Chrysler as a result. My ultimate feeling is they are waiting for more of these incidents to occur before they do anything about it. I am worried not only for my wife and myself, but for anyone else who may find themselves in a similar situation but with the problem of being on a freeway. Thank you.

I can remeber all of the dates that these problems occured but, I did have automobile insurance and they did have a tote truck to take my car to a body shop. This been repaired some time three to four time a year. I keep going to get this repaired. I bought two cars same make and model and everything on both cars been repaired and its not because of an automobile inncdent its because of the barron been coming aparts. I have bought a new motor on both cars. I have had nothing but. Problems with this car the same problems with both cars. I am so afraid of these cars because I bought them new and I know I bought a new engine.

I was driving down the road coming to a stop light when I noticed my car had just turned off without warning. Luckily there was a turn lane and the light was red so I didn't cause any accident. After that I took my car to see why the engine light came on and the mechanic said the code stated it had to do with the oxygen sensor. I replaced the part and the car ran ok until another time I was stopped at a light and the car turned off again. I've noticed the engine light comes on and then goes off after a couple of days. I was told I probably need to replace the intake manifold gasket which I bought but haven't replaced because someone told me about the recall of other Sebrings that had the same problem. The car was running fine and the engine light had gone off and then it happened again with no warning. I looked up and saw there have been other same complaints of the engine stalling as one is driving. The code given was h07. I am disabled and cannot afford to take a risk to drive down the road and this happen again. Please let me know where I should take my car to have the defective part replaced. I am also having problems with the driver side window coming off track and going through the rubber and I am afraid the window will shatter because it won't stop going up. I greatly appreciate any help you can give. Thank you.
