Sebring LXI 2.7L, V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 36,175 miles

I experienced the same auto locking problem inside the vehicle. I can't lock the doors from the inside lock switch from either the driver's or passenger's door. Nor can I lock the doors with the remote. The frustration is I can't lock the doors when I leave the car unattended unless I lock each door manually, and when I leave the car unlocked, upon opening the doors, the alarm sounds. This condition also prevents the doors from locking automatically above 15 mph per normal system operation.

Sebring LX 2.7L V6

  • Automatic transmission

A module broke on the Sebring which causes the automatic locks not to work. I can unlock the doors but I cannot lock the doors using the keyfab or auto locks inside vehicle. I can, however, manually lock the vehicle.

Sebring LX 2.5L

This is only one of many beefs with Chrysler Sebrings. My driver side door decided its not gonna open anymore all of a sudden, while im still in the car and i just parked. I cant get to a dealership unless i set up an appointment which will be in a few days. so i have to climb in and out the passenger side door. Can u picture somebody doing that in the parking spot next to you. This is my first complaint and i Have one in every category on this thing. DO NOT BUY A CHRYSLER SEBRING. IT'S FUNNY TO PEOPLE WHEN THEY READ OR HEAR IT BUT IT'S SO REAL. DONT BUY THAT PIECE OF SH*T.

The doorlocks only work when they want to. You push the button, or set the alarm, or do anything that is supposed to make the doors lock and the button go down, and you hear the actuator, but the locks don't lock. Its random. A lot of times when we go to the store or whatever, we have to sit there for a minute or two flipping the lever up and down until the doors actually lock. Kind of embarrassing.

We told the dealer about it and they didn't believe us at first, but sure enough when the tech tried it the doors would not fully lock. However, they did not fix it because "they could not get them to fail in the service bay"

I hate Chrysler. Why do people buy these pieces of crap? Everyone I know with a newer Mercedes has it in the shop at least once a month. Why are they allowed to be in business? People risk their lives in these pieces of crap.
