I am on board with about my 07 Sebring . I bought the car back in Aug. and it has been back to the dealership for a number of issues (recalls etc). I have had the following problems. Current mileage around 6500 miles
 
1. Electrical system failure. I had no interior lights, headlights etc.
2. I am currently waiting for a new gear shift plate, the current does not illuminate so at night you have to rely on the dash to determine what gear you are in. (The part has been on back order since November 07)
3. Passenger side door latch keeps sticking and the door won't close. (Going into dealer next week for that problem)
4. The car has stalled on me twice since I have owned it for no apparenet reason.
5. The icing on the cake occurred today (currently at the dealership), both the traction control light and ESP Bas light is on and staying on. I read the manual and it kept occurring after I started the car three times.
 
I promise you.... I will never buy a Chrysler, Dodge or Jeep ever again and I have been sharing this sentiment with many others.
 
What gets me is the attitude you get from the dealership, and the fact they speak down to me like I am a stupid woman.
 
Let me know what you find out.

My 2008 just stalls outright. No warning. Everything goes. I can't get out of harms way because the steering is lost and I can't ge to the side of the road. It will start back up when I throw it into neutral and restart. I have been driving it now for about three weeks with no incidents. I'm not reassured, however, as it might just cut out again at any time. I am waiting to have a computer installed in it so that if and when the problem happens again, I can push a button and that is supposed to help the mechanics diagnose the problem. In the meantime I continue to drive with apprehension. I guess the next step in the Lemon Law. Has anyone filed for the Lemon Law? What was the result.

I have a 1996 Sebring Convertible Jxi 2.5L. I want all of you to know that I had this stalling problem, and it was very scary. I stalled on the freeway and thought I was going to get crushed by a semi truck, I also stalled at stops and on normal streets. I thought I probably would die in my car because of this. My mechanics kept scratching there heads and changing parts and I kept paying. They even suggested I take it to the dealership to see if they could figure out the problem. I took it to the dealership and they could not figure out the problem and still charged me $150.00 for nothing. Then my mechanic saw an article that came out in (winter 2006 Tech Magazine) that said the problem looked like other things, but was actually the MAP SENSOR, and the stalling quit. Chrysler has to know about this problem and chooses to play dumb. I love my car, but I will never buy another Chrysler.
I hope this helps some of you with your problem. This is an inexpensive problem that I have at least $1500.00 into for other parts that did not fix the problem.
 
Hope this helps

I did the same thing. It was the MAP SENSOR!

Kim,
 
Tell the service tech to take a close look at the MAP sensor. I recently heard that it can be the source of some frustrating stalling problems.
 
Thanks for taking the time to alert everyone and possibly saving them a lot of money.

Chrysler Sebring recall due to stalling by mmcargrl

I just read online that Chrysler has sent out a recall on Sebrings due to an electrical problem that might cause stalling or other issues. "Chrysler will seal the wires for the tire pressure monitoring system" at no cost. However--according to the story I read it is on 2007-08 models only. As we know, this problem occurs in Sebrings from 1998-2008. Mine is a 1999 and after the 4th repair recently, I hope it is ok now. I had the CAM Sensor replaced. I loved by Sebring until the past few months, and unfortunately I cannot financially afford to replace by car right now. I am self employed and the economy has kicked me hard. I will pray the CAM Sensor did the job, and will enjoy my car as long as I can, until I can afford to buy another car that is NOT a Chrysler.

Sebring recalls by tbirdrus

As many others here, I have the same stalling problem with my Sebring JXI '97. I found a website that lists all Sebring recalls and it looks like this problem (at least for '97) falls under one of them. I am going to contact Chrysler tomorrow and try to make them fix it for free. Any advice on how to handle it in the best way?
