2008 Chrysler Sebring Complaint Log

On December 15, 2025, while driving my 2008 Chrysler Sebring in Indianapolis, Indiana, I noticed smoke coming from the driver’s side near the battery. Shortly afterward, the car completely stopped responding — the brakes and steering were unresponsive — and the vehicle caught fire in that area. I exited the car safely, and the fire department responded and extinguished the fire. The exact cause of the fire is unknown, but I suspect a battery or electrical component failure. No warning lights appeared prior to the incident, except for the smoke I noticed. The incident has not yet been inspected by a dealer, manufacturer, or insurance representative. If inspection is needed, the affected parts can be examined in the tow lot, but much of the vehicle has been destroyed, and there is very little left of the car due to the fire. The safety of myself and others was at risk due to the sudden loss of braking and steering control, as well as the vehicle catching fire while on the road. The problem has not been reproduced, and I am reporting it to ensure the incident is recorded for safety monitoring and potential investigation.

The contact owns a 2008 Chrysler Sebring. The contact stated that while parking the vehicle, the transmission was shifted to park(P), but after releasing the brake pedal, the vehicle rolled forward. The contact then noticed that the instrument panel indicated that the transmission was in drive(D). The contact depressed the brake pedal again, but after releasing the brake pedal, the failure recurred. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact applied the parking brake to prevent the vehicle from rolling and was able to park the vehicle; however, the transmission later became stuck in park (P). The contact used a code reader and retrieved DTC: P2004, P0700, and P0562. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, but informed the contact that there was no recall associated with the VIN. The failure mileage was approximately 90,000.

I have a 2008 Chrysler Sebring Sedan. The radiator is leaking fluid that splashes all over the wires causing a burning smell. I later found out that this is caused by an electrical issue with the sensors. Similarly my tire pressure sensors are fried. These issues have eroded wires causing my A/C and Cruise Control systems to malfunction. My power windows have issues sometimes I can't get them to roll up or down. My internal lights in my car flickering on and off. The mess from the radiator is also causing my engine to overheat. I am now having issues with oil pan leaks as a result of too much pressure from the engine. I see that only certain VINS were added to the recall list. I strongly suggest that NHTSA add other VINS to the recall list, especially mine, since I'm having those exact same issues. I see that there are complaints about this year make and model as recent as last year. Why hasn't the recall list been updated? Please update the recall list. Please and thank you!!

The car loss compression in the middle of driving. Try to crank it but it drains the battery. Also, I bought the car a year the buy here pay here company ripped out the lemon law page for Tennessee but kept the other pages in.

See attached document for complaint.

I was on my way to work. All the warning light appeared on my dash. Then all the warning light, radio, speedometer gage and all head light and tail lights went out. I was driving in the dark. My engine bogged down no power. I was barley moving. I replaced the battery no difference. I replaced the alternator worked for 3 minutes and then the car was back to the same as before. I contacted a nearby mechanic facility they told me that it was most definitely the fuse panel under the hood. That's its not a recall but a lawsuit replacement. I notified the manufacturer and they told me my Vin number was not under recall. I'm confused on what to do not. I'm in no way able to purchase a new vehicle at this time. Nor spend hundreds or thousands in repairs. Please help.

Brakes stopped working while in drive

purchased may 15th.and now car sits in my apartment parking lot as a roadblock for all tenants since May 27th. 2008sebring started fine.drove 2 miles roundtrip, vehicle ride was rough upon turning into residence thankfully I was not on the street in traffic when the car decided to stop ,the windows were down I still have not been able to get them rolled up .lights instrument panel lights went haywire flashing,ding chime sound continuous. the backdash illuminate light has never worked. wont accept jump from cables,has power in areas under hood, charged to 12v on charger able to get code (DTC-U1403 implausible fuel level signal. Just like the recall of the wiring issue it's similar. The week this happened the tire pressure indicator in the lower left corner of Dash was lit up and the cruise control light would come on but when engaged it would not drive at the limit set only reduce is speed the stereo CD changer didn't work I thought it was just because it was old the cigarette lighter which I used for my power source the light on that device would flicker in and out showing it wasn't getting a good connection the key would get stuck in the ignition or do a continuous storage where you it would not spring back as it should you'd have to turn it off and then try to restart it the battery in the fob work just fine before all of this took place now the battery is dead in the fob as well. it won't hold a charge I want to know how it's going to get fixed and with whose money?? $95 for Diagnostic.while covering windows later that night,I was able to see a dim red light where the tire pressure indicator was lit up at the fuses are fine the battery is 6 months old but it is constantly draining I it won't stay charged I can't get it out of gear it to put it in neutral to move it anywhere. Main purpose was to get me to my doctor appointments now I can't even do that& I haven't been able to do that.. i think this recall has Revisited. its unsafe

While driving down the road the Lexus it locks the steering wheel to keep it from moving at all broke almost causing me to have an accident when making the turn it will not pass safety inspection now because of the broken piece inside the steering column that’s where I was going to get it the safety inspection for our state when it broke. I’m not sure exactly what it broke but this is a safety issue. I uploaded a picture but a video would probably be better but I couldn’t send it attach that I can send you one if you would like please respond to me and let me know

Engine frequently stalls while driving. I've had my car shut off while I'm driving many times, the steering wheel and brakes lock up and it makes it hard to get off the street to safety. This happens a LOT. It is very dangerous and scary. I get anxiety everytime I drive because I'm scared of it happening again. My car once turned off in the middle of a busy intersection while trying to turn. It came on after about 45 seconds but it was terrifying. Battery often dies (just replaced it). Horn would go off randomly without stopping for a long time. I had to disconnect the horn (on both sides) because it would keep randomly going off with no way to stop it. Cruise control stopped working one day. Sometimes it comes up when I press cruise control but it turns off when I try setting a speed. Drivers window broke inside, I think something snapped inside the door. I've had it replaced 3 times but it keeps breaking. A/C makes an awful grinding noise sometimes, but it goes away if I turn the A/C off then back on. Also with the A/C, a door or something inside the dash will get stuck every so often and it makes a LOUD clicking like noise but it goes away after about 20 seconds (something to do with the actuator?). Brake light will come on sometimes when I stop. It goes away shortly after I start driving again. ABS light has been on my dash for a few months now. Most of these issues have been happening for over a year now. Most of this shows up under a recall from 2008, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: WIRING. It doesn't show up under my VIN number but I'm having the same exact problems.

Ticking noise coming from passengers compartment glove box seat belt light on and seat moves when come to a stop and driver side door handle just came off on the passenger side can't open the door from outside of vehicle there should be recall for this

No incident as of yet my air bag light on a ND there is ticking from the passenger side of the compartment glove box and the drivers seat moves when coming to a stop

The contact owns a 2008 Chrysler Sebring Convertible. The contact stated that while at a stop light, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact was able to restart the vehicle. The contact called the local dealer and was referred to another dealer for assistance. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The contact stated the failure was related to the NHTSA Campaign Number: 07V473000 (Engine and Engine Cooling). The approximate failure mileage was 106,000.

In February 2021 my car wouldn’t stop, tried to give it a jump and it still wouldn’t start. Replaced the battery and it started working again. In April 2021 my engine light came on. I got a diagnostic and the error code read: P2016 Intake Manifold Runner Position Sensor/Switch Circuit Low Bank 1. I didn’t get it fixed. Shortly after, I began hearing a faint crackling noise and noticed when I would drive on turn pikes my a red brake symbol would briefly pop up on my dash board and then go away. In May 2021 my horn stopped working and front right turn signal light stopped working. I tried to get a new one installed it wouldn’t work. I was told it could be an electrical issue. In July 2021 my right low beam head light stopped working. I tried to get a new bulb installed and it still wouldn’t work. At this time I was told the same thing, that it seems like there may be an electrical issue. This month, November 2021, a few days ago on Monday November 1st, I began noticing an acceleration issue in the morning. I would press the accelerator and it wouldn’t pick up until a few seconds later, it was like a delay. Later that day while I was driving on the free way a red flash symbol with lines between it began flashing on my car and my car wouldn’t drive over 20 mph. I pulled over. Shortly after I turned my car back on and it began driving semi normal and I was able to get home. I tried out my car the next day and in the morning the same thing happened again. The red flash symbol with 2 lines on the side of it began flashing on my dashboard and my car wouldn’t go over 20 mph. I’m not sure what the issue is but when I looked up what the red flashing symbol, I noticed a few others who had a similar experience with their 2008 Chrysler Sebring which made me want to look up whether there was a recall and I found out there was but when I searched whether my car was eligible through my VIN number it said there was none unrepaired.

The contact owns a 2008 Chrysler Sebring. The contact stated that while driving approximately 60 MPH, the vehicle suddenly stalled. The contact waited for a while for the vehicle to cool off before being able to operate the vehicle as intended. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact had taken the vehicle to a certified mechanic who replaced the alternator, battery, and TIPM however, the failure continued. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 23,000.

AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT LOSS OF POWER WILL OCCUR AND MOTOR WILL SHUT OFF. ANYTIME ON THE FREEWAY OR PARKED. OCCASIONALLY AT RANDOM INTERVALS CAR WILL CRANK BUT NOT TURN OVER UNTIL AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO START IT WILL TURN OVER APPROPRIATELY.

My TPS light has been on for quite some time and after a short time since the first time it appeared my issue worsens everyday. My car STALLS, not only when I am stopped at a light, but even when I am driving at high speeds and the Check Engine light stays on all the time and blinks and dings at times and now the airbag light is on as well and blinks and dings all the time while the car is started. I took the car to get check for error codes, but none come up when the diagnostics is ran.

THE DOOR LOCKING MACHANIZISM HAS FAILED . THE AIR BAG LITE STAYS ON...

THE VEHICLE STALLS AND JERKS BACK FOR UP TO 2 SECONDS. HOWEVER, THESE TWO SECONDS CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS ON A ROADWAY AS DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS IT MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

MY WIN MODULE IS NO GOOD OR MY CARS COMPUTER. WHEN I DRIVE MY CAR SHUTS OFF.

WON'T SHIFT OUT OF PARK

FRONT SUSPENSION CROSS-MEMBER-SUB FRAME TOTALLY RUSTED OUT, CAR HAS 86,000 MILES ON IT, WAS GARAGE KEPT A LOT, CAR IS IN GOOD SHAPE AND SUB FRAME IS ONLY THING RUSTED OUT, PARTS AROUND IT LOOKS NEW, LOOK AT PICTURE, THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL OR CHRYSLER SHOULD PAY FOR IT,NEVER SEEN ANYTHING RUST LIKE THIS,VERY DANGEROUS DRIVING LIKE THIS

GEAR SHIFT PROBLEMS IT'S STUCK IN PARK

MY CAR CRANKS AND STARTS, THEN DIES ABOUT 2 SECONDS LATER. AFTER SEVERAL TRIES, IT USUALLY STARTS. HOWEVER, I HAVE HAD IT INTO A CHRYSLER DEALER TWICE WITHOUT THEM FINDING ANYTHING WRONG. IT USUALLY DECIDES TO RUN JUST FINE WHILE IN THE SHOP. IT WILL OFTEN GO FOR A FEW MONTHS, THEN START REPEATING THIS SCENARIO. THIS HAS BEEN ON-GOING FOR ABOUT A YEAR.

I TOOK THE VEHICLE AFTER PURCHASE TO THE SHOP TO LOOK OVER AND SELLER AGREED THAT HE WOULD COVER THE COST FOR "SENSOR" ISSUE AS HE STATED! THE CAR NEEDS A CAMSHAFT AND DUE TO THE AGE OF THE VEHICLE THE MECHANIC STATED IF THAT PART IS REPLACED IT WILL POSSIBLY NEED A TRANSMISSION AS WELL AS A NEW ENGINE. THEREFORE THE REPAIRS WOULD EXCEED THE VALUE OF THE VEHICLE OR NOT WORK AT ALL AND WASTE ALL THAT MONEY. CAR HAD ISSUES STARTING FROM DAY 1 TOO.

MY HUSBAND AND I ARE EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS RECENTLY WITH THE CAR STAHLING OUT AND OR GETTING STUCK IN LOW GEAR WHILE DRIVING ON THE HWY, IT WAS TERRIFYING! WE ARE CURRENTLY NOT AT HOME AND HAVE A 10 HOUR DRIVE BACK HOME WHILE DRIVING THIS EXTREMELY UNSTABLE CAR AND AM HONESTLY SCARED TO DEATH WE ARE GOING TO GET IN AN ACCIDENT! THIS IS THE 3RD BATTERY SWAP WE'VE DONE IN 3 MONTHS BUT ONLY HAVE LAST 2 RECEIPTS. WE HAVE DONE RESEARCH AND THIS CAR HAS HAD ELECTRICAL RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM HOWEVER APPARENTLY OUR VIN DONT MATCH UP TO THE RECALL. I DONT UNDERSTAND IT, THIS IS EXTREMELY HORRIBLE BUSINESS FROM CHRYSLER AND AS SOON AS WE CAN GET HOME HOPEFULLY SAFELY.. WE WONT BUY ANOTHER. PLEASE HELP FAST!

THE CONVERTIBLE ROOF WOULD OPEN WITH PAUSING. THE TRUNK WAS STUCK OPEN NOT CLOSING BUT YOU COULD HEAR MOTOR. NOW TRUNK CLOSED AND STAY CLOSED WITH NO MOTOR SOUND. CONVERTIBLE TOP ISN'T OPENING BUT WHEN CAR DRIVES AT 30MPH THE ROOF FLIES OPEN. THE DASHBOARD LIGHT WOULD GO OFF AND ON WHILE DRIVING,CAUSING UNABLE TO SEE MPH OR ANYTHING. I CAN NOT DRIVE DUE TO FEAR OF BEING IN A ACCIDENT OR CAUSING ONE SINCE THE CAR IS MALFUNCTIONING AND THE ROOF WILL FALL OFF ON ROUTINE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY WITH SPEED LIMITS THE CAR CAN'T EXCEED.

THE CAR TURNS OFF AFTER DRIVING 30 MINUTES,THE HEADLIGHTS TURN OFF AND ON AT RANDOM TIMES,THE HONK STARTS HONKING RANDOMLY. *TR

SAFETY SPRING BROKE NOT ALLOWING SHIFTER TO MOVE OUT OF PARK WILE TRANSMISSION WAS STILL IN NEUTRAL. *TR

AIR BAG LIGHTS AND DOOR LOCKING MECHANIZISM FAILING

I TOOK OFF FROM STOPPING AT A RED LIGHT MY 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING CONVERTIBLE SHIFTED THE FIRST GEAR AND THEN LOCKED UP IN 2ND GEAR I CAN ONLY CRUISE AT 35 MILES PER HOUR AT 3000 RPM I PULLED OVER TURN THE KEY SWITCH OFF IT STARTED IT BACK UP IT SHIFTED FINE UNTIL I GOT DID THE THIRD RED LIGHT THEN IT LOCKED UP AGAIN THEY'RE CALLING THIS LIMP MODE I HAVE SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT THE SEBRINGS HAVE MAJOR PROBLEMS BUT YET THERE IS NO RECALL SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE MY CAR ONLY HAS 140,000 ORIGINAL MILES ON IT 11 YEAR OLD CARS ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO DO THIS

3 SEPERATE BUT RELATED EVENTS. MY HORN BEGAN HONKING AT RANDOM TIMES, EVENTUALLY I COULD NOT TURN IT OFF WHILE IN MY PARKING GARAGE AT WORK. ENDED UP REMOVING BATTERY CONNECTION TO STOP THE HONKING. WHEN I ARRIVED HOME I DISCONNECTED THE HORNS. MY WIPERS RANDOMLY DO NOT WORK. I'VE HAD TO RELY ON RAINX. SOMETIMES THEY WORK AND OTHER TIMES I CANT TURN THEM OFF. THEY SOMETIMES STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDOW. LAST ISSUE WAS COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER WHILE DRIVING AT 70MPH. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER. STRANGE THING WAS IT STARTED RIGHT BACK UP. BUT 10 MILES LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED. BASED ON THESE 3 THINGS HAPPENING WITHIN THE LAST MONTH I THINK IT IS PART OF THE TIPM MODULE. MANY COMPLAINTS AND THIS ITEM IS PART OF A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT AND A VOLUNTARY RECALL FOR OTHER CHRYSLER VEHICLE IN THE SAME YEAR RANGE AS MY VEHICLE.

MY 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP SINCE NOVEMBER 9, 2019. DEFECTIVE TIPM. THE STARTER HAS CAUGHT FIRE 3 TIMES. VEHICLE STALLS OUT AND LEAVES YOU IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. BATTERY HAS BEEN REPLACED. IGNITION SWITCH IS GETTING HOT WHEN KEYS ARE IN AND THE KEY GETS STUCK IN IGNITION. TIPM WAS REPLACED. CAR IS STILL NOT RUNNING DUE TO DEALERSHIP NOT KNOWING WHAT NEW PARTS TO TRY. HAVE ALSO HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH COOLING SYSTEMS/FAN NOT WORKING PROPERLY.

DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT MECHANISM HAS A SENSOR INSIDE THAT IS LOOSE AND MY CONCERN IS WILL THIS HAVE AN IMPACT ON THE AIRBAGS, IT ALSO BEEPS THE ENTIRE TIME IT IS HOOKED. THE BEEPING OR SENSOR REMAINS TO BEEP WHILE STATIONARY, IN MOTION, ON A CITY STREET AND HIGHWAY, TURNING, BRAKING ETC.

AIRBAG LIGHT ON DASH PANEL STARTING FLASHING ON AND OFF. I WAS DRIVING AT THE TIME. I STOPPED AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE TO SEE WHEN I RESTARTED IF IT WOULD STOP BUT IT DID NOT. STILL FLASHING EVER FEW SECONDS AND THEN GOES OFF. NOT SURE THE REASON OR IT THEIR HAS BEEN A RECALL I WAS UNAWARE OF.

HORN STARED GOING OFF ON ITS OWN, WHILE DRIVING OR JUST SITTING, THEN THE TRANSMISSION STARTED LAGGING, RPMS DROP WHILE I'M DRIVING AND AM UNABLE TO GET BACK UP TO SPEED FOR A MINUTE. I DRIVE ON THE INTERSTATE DAILY FOR WORK AND BOTH OF THESE ARE A HUGE HAZARD FOR ME AND OTHER DRIVERS. I ASSUME THE PROBLEMS ARE RELATED BEING AS THEY BOTH WENT CRAZY AT THE SAME TIME. WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE TO WORK MY CAR JUST SORT OF DIED WITHOUT DIEING THE RPMS DROPPED AND THE CAR TRIED TO DIE BUT DIIDNT. THE GAS PED STOPPED WORKING WHILE THIS WAS OCCURING AND I WAS UNABLE TO GET BACK UP TO SPEED. IT EVENTUALLY KICKED OUT OF IT BUT DID IT AGAIN THE FOLLOWING WEEK, DRIVING OUT OF MY PARKING LOT AT WORK RPMS DROPPED AND WAS UNABLE TO USE MY GAS PED.

WHILE DRIVING - ELECTRICAL ISSUES. FUEL GAGE DOES NOT WORK. DASHBOARD DISPLAY LIGHTS GO OUT INTERMITTENTLY, POWER WINDOW ISSUES, TIRE PRESSURE (TPMS) LIGHT COMES ON,

WHEN I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES REALLY BAD UNTIL I BRING THE STEERING BACK INTO REGULAR POSITION. THE SEAT BELT SIGN GOES OFF CONTINUALLY AFTER I'M BUCKLED UP, CAR ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE CAR IS IDLING AT A RED LIGHT, CAR JUMPS WHILE SITTING AT A RED LIGHT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING AND THE TPMS WARNING INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC REPLACED THE BATTERY, STARTER, AND ALTERNATOR; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE CONTINUED. IN ADDITION, WHILE DRIVING OVER 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE WOULD DECELERATE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. STEVE WHITE MOTORS (3470 US HWY 70 SE, NEWTON, NC 28658, (888) 827-3721) WAS NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EXCLUDED FROM NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 08V152000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM); ALTHOUGH, THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED THE SAME FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 180,000.

MY CAR SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY AS I WAS DRIVING, THE STEERING WASN'T WORKING, I COULDN'T TURN THE WHEELS AT ALL. THE BREAKS WOULD NOT WORK EITHER, NO MATTER HOW HARD I PRESSED ON THE BREAKS THE PEDAL WOULD NOT MOVE. LUCKILY I WASN'T GOING FAST OR DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY CAUSE THAT WOULD HAVE KILLED ME.

I RAN MY VIN TO SEARCH FOR ANY RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE I PURCHASED LAST YEAR AND THE DESCRIPTION FOR MY VIN COMES UP AS A 2008 CHRYSLER 200, BUT MY CAR IS A 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING. IF A VIN IS A UNIQUE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER FOR EACH CAR WHAT DOES TL IT MEAN THAT THE DESCRIPTION DOESN'T MATCH MY CAR?
