This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
There were 7 recalls on my make, year, model vehicle. Three of which were Brakes, Air Bags, and the TPMS tire monitoring system. Other body parts, doors and hood releases had recalls along with hvac/air conditioning systems. Radiator/fan motor failures. Doors flying open during transit. The ABS control module could cause the brakes to lock-up during braking. Shorts from unused connectors for the computer/TPMS system/brakes and air bags have been causing many unpredictable breakdowns. Some predictable, from past records, state recorded Instances from 180,963 vehicles that just failure of the TPMS monitor system has already caused engine no start, dead battery, Inoperable cruise control, remote start system, engine stalling which could cause a "crash without warning". This was what i read on the www.autoblog site concerning this vehicle. I contacted the Chrysler Recall Center and the site says the dealer's techs would seal the wiring "free of charge", and to replace the front seat track position sensors "free of charge". The recall center said they wouldn't do any repairs at their "free of charge" policy for ME. They said that I would have to pay out-of-pocket, when the site says they already serviced 180,963 vehicles "free of charge". I'm broke and on fixed income. Why are they being so unfair. From what I heard, and I could be wrong, but I was made to believe that there is no expiration date for recalls. If they already state online, some of the recalls could cause a "crash without warning", why would they refuse me? This happened yesterday to me. The Check TPMS System warning notice appeared, along with the Air Bag Red warning light at the top of the speedometer, while I was driving. The tire pressure screen appeared showing the tire pressure of the four tires. They are all fully Inflated. The Air Bag red light came on/off a few times, while driving home and the tire pressure screen remains on all the time. I don't want an accident.
I was sitting in the driver's seat with seat belt buckle up around myself with nothing else in the car besides myself and the airbag light came on the dash panel. It's stays on everytime I start the car and been that way for maybe little over a year.
2007 Chrysler Sebring. Consumer writes in regard to airbag light switching on and off, brake light under trunk melted holding bulb and connection, and housing melted.
The airbag light has been in for a long time. I know someone that has the same car and their car has the same issue. Also the true gage reader is malfunctioning. Now I have problems with the car stalling on the roadway. I called Chrysler about the recalls and the said everything has been taken care of. They couldn't tell me who brought the car in fir repairs. I've had the car for 8 years. I dont think the issues have been resolved. They should at least be able to see who brought the car in fir the repairs. The headlights will sometimes go off when going around turns. I met the previous owner and he told me that these issues are why he got rid of the car. Please help me get the recalls fixed so something bad doesn't happen to us in this car.

Airbag light on, horn and cruise control stopped working, found out its the clock spring, had trouble steering the car at one point, found that a part broke the clock spring and got lodged in the steering components, happened during a turn onto a street
I am very concerned about my airbag light coming on 1-2 times a month. Does that mean the air bags may suddenly deploy while I am sitting at a light, or not deploy when involved in a crash? my second concern is that my dashboard lights started dimming and eventually went out on their own. I cannot drive at night any more.I took it to a mechanic and thinking it was a simple fuse problem. No, it has to do with the mechanic removing the dashboard and going into the instrument cluster box and replacing simething in there. I have been quoted $350-to $375 dollars.cannot afford that. My new problem: Driving home, getting ready to back up my drive way, the car is running hot, when I went to shift from drive to reverse, the car cut off.had a hard time taking the carout of reverse to park. Like it was stuck or jammed.my neighbors came out to help push it out of the middle of the street and the front wheels were locked. The men eventually got it pushed to the side of the street. The car starts an run S with no problem my mechanis tells me it is the gear shifter cable us broken. I thought tose were made to last in a car. My car is now locked in park until I canget that fixed. As a senior on a fixed income I cannot afford to drive this old car I have sadly paid for.

Air bag light has come on intermittently for the last 3 years. Taken to several independent mechanics with no reason identified or resolution. Well today the light kept illuminating and dinging while running errands. Unusual amount of times so much so it caused some concern. I was in motion approaching a stop sign, almost home and the drivers side side air bag deployed & burst for no reason. Thank god I was uninjured but that was dangerous and scary! now I have a damaged drivers side seat.
Air bag light comes on and goes off when ever it wants. Some times it stays on a long time. Usually happens when I hit breaks or a bump in the road. Seat feels loose some times. And wish I could have fixed by Chrysler. I hope some day they step up and fix this issue before someone gets hurt not knowing if air bag will work sucks.

Takata recall: My air bag light stays on at all times when car is started. It has been doing this for several months (will not go off). When I reported it they said there were no recalls and I had to get it repaired myself. There has not been an accident but dont know why it is on. My vehicle was not on the recall list. Hope nothing happens.
Our car air bag light / sensor goes on for no apparent reason. Our brake light / sensor goes on for no apparent reason both items happen when car is in operation

Air bag indicator light constantly beeps and stays on for periods of time. When I'm on the on-ramp entering a highway and driving in a curve the brake indicator light comes on. Sometimes it comes on while driving on a flat surface. Since I've had this car, the right front tire pressure has never read. It just reads -- where the number should be. I have had to replace my crank position sensor twice. I lost acceleration while driving.the second time I had to replace the electrical throttle something (etc) as well. Now it is out a 3rd time. Luckily I was in my driveway this time! please recall!
