I have a 1999 Chyrsler Sebring Convertible. I resolved the flooding problems by reading other posts. My car randomly stalls out while driving 60mph or while idling in traffic. I will take up to one hour or that day to restart. It has been on every diagnostic machine and nothing shows up. It will cut off in the morning, the evening or not at all for a day or so. My mechanic tells me that they can't fix what they can't find. I have a new distributor, harmonic balance, fuel pump, My car in now just sitting in my driveway because I'm afraid to drive it. You just don't know when it will cut off. Has this happened to anyone else? How did you fix the problem?

Sounds like a nightmare...I would look for another mechanic. I can't believe they cannot find out what the problem is. That makes no sense to me.

Check out this website http://autorepair.about.com/library/faqs/bl086i.htm I had this happen to mine a few years back and this was the problem. You have to remove the steering wheel and airbag to replace it. Not too difficult if you have worked on cars before. I think the part was about $150.00 from the dealer.

Thank you 2001_sebring, I printed out that information from the website and will bring it to my friend who works on my car. I hope this will do it. Thank again!

I have a 08 and today I experienced the same thing no wipers or turn signal and the radio kept scanning on it's own. Kinda freaked me out. Jumped out of the car and stared at it for like 20 mins. Came here looking for answers.

Did you ever find out what was wrong with your car? My 2001 Sebring convertible is now doing the same thing. I just replaced the battery and if it sits more than 1 day the battery is dead. I had a local garage keep it for a week trying to find something but no luck.

Yes - it turned out to be one of those "parasitic drains" you might have read about. In my case it was the fuse that controls the radio and interior lights. I'm sure there is a better way to fix it, but I just installed a switch that controls that fuse. I only turn it on when I'm using the car. Otherwise, the fuse is cut off from the battery. My friend had to go through the fuse box one by one and pull them while measuring the battery charge to figure out where the problem was coming from. Hope this helps.

If you read my problem it is that the airbag light is constantly on, the cruise control does not work and I have no horn. This all began with a crack noise that I heard which seemed to come from the steering column which it did. My mechanic said that it is some kind of coil that went within the steering column and he has the part on order for me but said it may take six months to get it. I am still driving the car okay without it, It just means if I get into an accident the airbag won't go off. It has nothing to do with the battery. I have not had any problems with my battery at all. I recently had my timing chain tensioner go and had to replace it, which cost me $500. I don't know yet what the replacement of this coil will cost. My Sebring is a 2001.

A few months ago I had the same thing with the horn, cruise control and air bag. My mechanic had a part for it in 3 days. He replaced something called the coil spring. I think it may have cost about $180 to fix.
At this same time the car radio had started only working on occastion. Within a month or two I started having the rest of the electrical problems.
