| I purchased the vehicle in may of 2007 and within the first few months the car stopped for no apparent reason while driving on 3 separate occassions. the incidents startled me greatly that i requested to receive a new car. the dealership refused and had someone fly in from los angeles, ca to fix. now after 5 years the car is doing same thing. i presented this safety issue to the manager of the dealership by the name of jason fleming. jason proceeded to tell me that since i did not use him for my servicing that he would not assist me. he flatly told me how could he help me when he didn't make any money off of me. i've been told by other people with this same vehicle that they had the same problem of stopping without any notice. this is dangerous and can cause death or a terrible accident. | |||

| First two complaints have been recalled and serviced. said recalls were for # 1 engine stalling and # 2 driver airbag under seat sensor illuminating on and off on dash. even after the service was performed for the recalls, i still have engine stalling during stops and on deceleration the vehicle threatens to stall. i need to keep giving gas and on humid days that is indicative of possible rain the threat is more often. the second recall complaint that i am still experiencing is the air bag illuminator on dash for the drivers side goes on and off and the wires under the drivers seat are involved when driver seat moves front or back. stalling is a safety issue that can cause personal injury or death to occupants in this car or nearby cars sharing the road. also the air bag sensor problem keeps me in fear that the airbag will not deploy when necessary or will deploy accidentally on its own while the vehicle is in motion. i also have a complaint that the car when braking for a stop continued to rev causing me to use the emergency break and i had to shut off the car to stop the car totally.i have noticed that this issue is common with other peoples complaint and an inquiry would seem imminent for safety reasons. the dealership knowing the recalls have not secured the proper handling of my vehicle's safety wants to charge a diagnostic fee or a service fee when it is clear that the proper service was not rendered causing recall malfunctions to this date. for the two complaints that have recalls that i am inquiring about need to be addressed to the dealership asap for service and i would appreciate the outcome of this complaint in writing. as for the accelerator problem i would like to be kept abreast if a safety issue is mandated for the repair of that complaint. thank you. *tr | |||

| My airbag light comes on frequently and remains on most of the time. i took it to goldstein chrysler jeep dodge in latham ny. i was charged $120 for diagnostics and i was told it was an airbag sensor that would cost upward of an additional $450 to repair. i found there was a recall issued by the national highway traffic safety association for this problem with the 2007 chrysler sebring back in june of 2007. the recall campaign # is nhtsa-07v240000. i called diamler chrysler at 1-800-853-1403 to get the problem resolved and to recover the $120 i paid to the goldstein dealership for an issue that was covered in a recall. diamler chrysler said they had no recall for an airbag sensor on the 2007 sebring. i called back the nhtsa at 1-888-327-4236 and confirmed the recall was in fact issued. i filed a case with the nhtsa, and they referred me to the federal trade commission at 1-877-382-4357 where i also filed a report. the ftc also referred me to the nys consumer protection board. complaints to them must be filed in writing. i requested a complaint form. i called diamler chrysler back and filed a case. i contacted the dealer customer service management back, where i sensed there wasn't the least bit of sympathy or concern for my family's safety. *tr | |||

| I bought my 2007 chrysler sebring brand new april 2007. after about a year (or less) and well under 20,000 miles the gas cap light would not go off, windshield wipers went off sporadically even in the off position, got stuck in park, fuel tank had to be replaced (which went out while i was driving), air bag light won't go off, etc. had all these problems fixed only to have many of them recur. they were all fixed under warranty. now after 36,000 miles and no warranty, the problems i have now are the windshield wipers still won't go off, my electric windows sometimes won't work at all (driver's side specifically), air bag light won't go off but occasionally when driver's seat is moved backward and forward but always returns, car will stall at times when pressing the gas pedal while driving. after the windshield wipers began going off again, took it to chrysler dealership in my town...they contacted chrysler to see if they would replace it again and they refused. all the recalls i read about that appear to pertain to my vehicle, chrysler says my vin is not a part of the recall (even though it's happening to my car too)! i will never buy another chrysler vehicle for myself, or anyone in my family again! problems with this car started early and never went away. | |||

| My airbag light comes on intermittently. sometimes it blinks off and on a few minutes at a time as i drive for as long as i'm driving. other times, it will stay on for 30 minutes or so continuously, then stay off. or, i can go days without it coming on. i'm afraid it's going to either deploy for no reason while i'm driving and cause an accident, or not deploy if do have an accident. my brake lights come on almost every time i stop at a light. i have had the brakes checked by a mechanic, and they couldn't find anything wrong with them. my driver's side window has occasionally begun sticking. usually it is when i have rolled it down, it does not want to roll back up. my car is out of warranty, so i have not paid to have it hooked up to the computer at the dealership to see if there are any error codes. these have all started happening in the last three months, and are steadily getting worse. | |||
