  • Automatic transmission

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

I purchased a 08 Chrysler Sebring and it has been the worse decision I have ever made. No one can fix it. It has been consistently in and out of the shop for over a year now. Even the dealership that sold it to me said, they are tired of trying to fix the car. I have easily put out over $2000.00 cash in repairs for the issue I am still having.

I believe it is an electrical issue because there aren't any codes coming back. Everyone has ran test and fixed whatever codes came back and the car still loses power, shuts off and locks up while I'm driving. I am so scared that I am going to be involved in a horrific accident because there is no warning when it happens. I can be going 40 or 80mph and it just does it out of no where. I called corporate and told them no one has been able to fix it they gave me a case number to take to a Chrysler dealership and have it diagnosed. Let's just say that was a nightmare. They continued to milk without resolving the issue.

When I informed Dayton Andrews on gulf to bay in Clearwater Fl that I couldn't afford to keep giving them money without the issue being resolved they refused to work on the car. The service manager lied to my face and harassed and insulted me. I still have the card he handed me when he told me I could bring the car back at anytime and have the issue resolved. I am stuck with a car that I'm still making payments on and it is a dangerous hazard to other civilians on the road.

Keep in my I have a two year old daughter to I have to take to and from daycare every day. I hope someone sues the pants off of Chrysler if this causes to take a life. There are far too many exact cases and known issues of this for them to ignore this issue and to choose not to do the right thing.

I will NEVER purchase another Chrysler as long as I live. Neither will my family because they can't believe themselves. I have had mechanics tell me to let the car go. It is no good.

Sebring 3.5L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 77,000 miles

This car is the worst piece of CRAP I have ever owned. Had a nice Mercedes, but decided we wanted a convertible...so here we are with this horrible piece of tin. Basically since day 1 we have issues. Shifter broke 2 times and had to have the car towed twice. the engine shuts down WHILE DRIVING.

There is now a weird knocking noise coming from what sounds like the A/C and underneath the car it makes a HUGE annoying rattling noise! Just 4 days ago, got into the car and it would nost start. Had to call AAA and get a jump. guy says his reading shows we need new battery. Take car to shop the next day and they did their battery testing also and said the BATTERY is FINE!!! WHAT IS THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THIS PIECE OF CRAP CAR? everyday is something new.

How in the hell can we afford to keep putting $$$$$$ into this piece of crap. Unfortunately, we tried to trade this beauty the other day, but can't because we are TOO UPSIDE DOWN! Terrific. Too bad there aren't cliffs in Florida, because I'd run it right off the cliff. NEVER AGAIN WOULD I BUY A CHRYSLER!

Sebring

  • Automatic transmission

Car will shut off without notice. This is very scary especially when going around corners and in traffic. Have had problems with stalling while at stop lights, stop signs, and now when turning. Recall, this has been happening for a while.

This is the second short problem I have had with this car. The car shuts off while driving, no steering or control. All most hit a neighbor yesterday. Last night the interior lights did not come on when I opened the door. I am stuck for the second time.
