I BROUGHT MY CAR IN 2009. MY LIGHTS HAVE BLINKED FROM THE START. ON AUGUST 11, 2015, I DROVE 1 HOUR AND 17 MINUTES 59.5 MILES IN MODERATE TRAFFIC. I ARRIVED AT AGENCY. I EXITED THE CAR. ABOUT 5 MINUTES LATER, I RETURNED TO MY 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING AND ENTERED MY CAR. I STARTED THE CAR AS NORMAL APPLYING THE BRAKES WHILE SHIFTING GEARS AND PUT MY CAR IN REVERSE WITH ACCELERATION. AS MY CAR WAS IN MOTION THE CAR DANGEROUSLY SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BUSY ROAD AND I HAD TO APPLY THE BRAKES QUICKLY WHILE ROLLING AND IN MOTION. MY DAD AND I PUT A DIAGNOSTIC ON THE CAR AND IT READ A CODE. WE CHECKED THE POTENTIAL PROBLEMS. THE ONLY PROBLEM WAS THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. WE REFILLED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. ON MARCH 4, 2016, I DROVE 51 MINUTES 33.4 MILES IN MODERATE TO HEAVY TRAFFIC. I ARRIVED TO A MILITARY LOCATION. I EXITED THE CAR. ABOUT 3 MINUTES LATER, I RETURNED TO MY 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING AND ENTERED MY CAR. I STARTED THE CAR AS NORMAL APPLYING THE BRAKES WHILE SHIFTING GEARS AND PUT MY CAR IN REVERSE WITH ACCELERATION. AS MY CAR WAS IN MOTION THE CAR DANGEROUSLY SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BUSY ROAD AND I HAD TO APPLY THE BRAKES QUICKLY WHILE ROLLING AND IN MOTION. AS MY CAR WAS IN MOTION THE CAR DANGEROUSLY SHUT OFF. MY DAD AND I CHECKED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND THE TRANSMISSION FLUID SEEMED OKAY THIS TIME. THE 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING DANGEROUSLY SHUTS OFF WHILE ROLLING AND IN MOTION. NO LIGHT STAYS ON DURING THE DURATION OF THE TRIPS TO WARN ME OF ANYTHING THAT MAY BE MALFUNCTIONING. THE 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING SHUTS OFF WITH NO WARNING WHILE IN MOTION. AFTER IT SHUTS OFF WHILE IN MOTION THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT COMES ON AND IT GOES OFF. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THAT I HAD BEEN TAKING MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE SINCE I BROUGHT IT. THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP HAS EXPRESSED UNCERTAINTY ABOUT FINDING THE PROBLEM. I SPOKE WITH CORPORATE WITH MY VIN AND THEY DID NOT HELP.

THIS CAR HAS A FAULTY TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM). THIS CAUSED SEVERAL PROBLEMS INCLUDING: THE CAR STALLING SUDDENLY WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 50 MPH ON A STRAIGHT ROAD, THE HORN GOING OFF INTERMITTENTLY AND UNCONTROLLABLY BOTH WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND WHILE IT WAS MOVING, AND A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THAT WOULD NOT CLEAR. I REPLACED THE FAULTY TIPM AT MY OWN EXPENSE AND IT RESOLVED ALL THESE PROBLEMS. CHRYSLER HAS ISSUED RECALLS FOR TIPMS, BUT THEY HAVE NEVER RECALLED THE 2008 SEBRING. I HAVE THE ORIGINAL, FAULTY TIPM OUT OF THE CHRYSLER THAT I CAN SEND FOR TESTING AND VERIFICATION.

ALL WARNING LIGHTS ARE ON. THE HEAD LIGHTS ARE GOING OFF. HAPPENS IN MOTION AND STATIONARY.

MY BACK LIGHTS WORK AS LONG AS THE CAR IS IN PARK. BUT WHEN I SHIFT INTO DRIVE THEY GO OFF. I ONLY KNOW THIS BECAUSE OTHER DRIVERS THAT WAS DRIVING BEHIND ME TOLD ME SO. I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT IS TIPM MODULE. I DO NOT HAVE A $1000 FOR THE REPAIR SO I ONLY DRIVE IT IN THE DAY TIME

I BOUGHT THE CAR 1/02/2016 2 WEEKS LATER I AM IN MOTION I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AT A RED LIGHT IT TAKES OFF ON ITS OWN,CUTS OFF WHEN I MAKE A STOP

OUR CAR WAS RUNNING FINE AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN STARTED TO OVER HEAT. FOR A WHILE IT WAS GOING THROUGH COOLANT THOUGHT IT WAS A LEAK BUT THEY DIDNT FIND ONE BUT THEN IT STOPPED USING COOLANT FROM WHAT WE CAN TELL AND IS OVERHEATING WITHIN A FEW BLOCKS. AIR STOPPED WORKING AND EVEN WITH HEAT ON IT OVER HEATS. I SAW A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE ON THESE CARS STARTING WITH THE 1996 MODEL AND THERE WERE RECALLS ON THIS SAME ISSUE ON 07-08 MODELS I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. WE TRIED THE THERMOSTAT AND THEY CHECKED OTHER THINGS FOUND NOTHING SO I WENT LOOKING TO SEE IF ONE OF THE RECALLS YOU PUT OUT A FEW YEARS AGO WAS MY CAR MAYBE.

I WAS DRIVING ONE MORNING AND IT WAS RAINING. THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR WOULDN'T ACCELERATE OVER 20 MPH. I CUT THE CAR OFF AND STARTED IT BACK UP AND IT DIDN'T DO IT ANYMORE. UNTIL THE OTHER DAY WHEN EXITING OFF THE INTERSTATE THE CAR LOST SPEED AND THE SAME LIGHT CAME ON. THE RESTARTING TRICK DIDN'T WORK. THE CAR RUNS SHAKY AND IS IDLED UP HIGH WHEN STARTED. THE CAR STILL WON'T ACCELERATE OVER 20MPH. HAD IT DIAGNOSED AND DISCOVERED THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AS WELL AS THE INTAKE MANIFOLD RUNNER VALVE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT OWN THIS CAR 2007/2008 HAVE THIS PROBLEM. WHICH CAN POTENTIALLY BE DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE!

AS I WAS DRIVING 70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, THE THROTTLE CONTROL WARNING LIGHT CAME AND THE CAR BEGIN TO LOSS POWER AND HESITATE. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND IT BEGAN TO STALL AND JUMP. THE CAR WAS LOSING POWER AND I COULD NOT GO PAST 45 MPH. ANOTHER PROBLEM I AM HAVING IS THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHT WENT OFF AND I CANNOT SEE THE GAS GAUGE, SPEEDOMETER, ETC. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY SITTING IN THE PARKING LOT UNTIL I CAN GET IT TOWED TO BE CHECKED AND/OR FIXED. IT CURRENTLY RUNS, BUT I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT.

DRIVING DOWN A SLIGHT HILL AT 35MPH USING NO THROTTLE, THE CAR STALLED. NO LIGHTS, NO ALARMS. REALIZED IT STALLED WHEN I HAD NO POWER STEERING FOR CORNER. NO POWER STEERING. NO POWER BRAKES. MUSCLED CAR TO STOP SAFELY, BUT IF MY 16YO DAUGHTER HAD BEEN DRIVING.... VERY SCARY. CAR HAS STALLED ONCE WHILE IDLING AT A STOP AND STUTTERED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL AT A RED LIGHT TWICE SINCE THE INITIAL STALLING INCIDENT.

FIRST I WENT TO START THE CAR, I NOTICED THE BATTERY WASN'T STARTING. I OPEN THE HOOD AND TRIED TO MOVE THE BATTERY POST, THEY WERE TIGHT, BUT THE PLASTIC COVER ON THE POST STARTED SENDING SPARKS OUT WHEN I TOUCHED IT. AFTER A WHILE I TRIED TO START IT AGAIN AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. THEN I NOTICED THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON. I LET IT RUN FOR ABOUT A MINUTE THEN I TURNED IT OFF. I DIDN'T DRIVE IT AT ALL THAT DAY. LATER I CHECKED IT AGAIN. IT DIDN'T START. SO I DID THE SAME THING AGAIN IT STARTED RIGHT UP BUT THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT WAS ON AS WELL. I WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE IT I THOUGHT THE SPARKS MIGHT MAKE IT CATCH ON FIRE. I THINK THERE WERE A RECALL ON THIS CAR A WHILE BACK. I'VE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR. I KNOW THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM ON THEIR CHRYSLER VEHICLES. I READ ABOUT MANY OTHER PROBLEMS AS WELL. WHAT SHOULD I DO NEXT? I'M REALLY NOT INTERESTED IN PAYING ANY DEDUCTIBLES AND CAR REPAIRS AT THIS TIME. HELP!!! IS THIS ANYTHING THAT I NEED TO WORRY ABOUT?

THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED AND IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS THE TIPM WAS NOT WORKING AND THAT IT HAD BEEN SUPPLYING CONTINUOUS POWER TO THE FUEL PUMP AND THE WIRES WERE BURNED! THIS CERTAINLY SOUNDS LIKE A FIRE HAZARD. THIS REPAIR COST OVER $1000 WITH $677.50 BEING FOR PARTS. I SEE THAT JEEPS HAVE BEEN RECALLED AND THERE ARE OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE TIPM FOR VEHICLES. WHY IS THIS NOT A RECALL ITEM?

WHILE DRIVING THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, LOSS SPEED OCCURRED, CAR FELT LIKE IN WAS GOING TO DYE ON THE FREEWAY. NO ACCELERATION POWER. ENGINE LIGHT FLASHING, THROTTLE LIGHT FLASHING IN RED. CAR HAS NO PICK UP. I HAVE CALLED CHRYSLER AND WAS TOLD NO RECALL. I HAD IT CHECKED AT LOCAL AUTO SHOP AND CODE WAS P0035. CRANK SHAFT SENSOR. MANY CUSTOMERS HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE AND NO ONE NOT EVEN CHRYSLER CAN FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT HIGH-SPEED, ALL THE ELECTRICAL INSTRUMENTS BEGAN FLASHING ON/OFF. THE AIRBAG LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING AND A CHIME COULD BE HEARD. THIS OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY (3-5 TIMES PER YEAR) AND CHRYSLER CANNOT PROPERLY DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. WITH THIS LATEST INCIDENT, THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME IT WOULD COST $800 FOR A NEW POWER CONTROL MODULE. I RESEARCHED ONLINE ONLY TO LEARN THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH IDENTICAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THEIR CHRYSLER VEHICLES, WHILE NHTSA REFUSES TO ORDER A RECALL. I REFUSE TO ALLOW CHRYSLER TO PERFORM WORK ON THIS VEHICLE UNLESS THEY CAN GUARANTEE THE REPAIR AND CAP THE COST. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW AND CHRYSLER FAILED TO DISCLOSE TWO AUTO BODY REPAIRS PERFORMED PRIOR TO SALE - I DISCOVERED THIS ON THE CHRYSLER WEBSITE AND SINCE SPENT OVER $1,500 TO REPAIR IT BECAUSE CHRYSLER REFUSED TO ACCEPT ANY RESPONSIBILITY AFTER THE LEMON LAWS EXPIRED. *TR

RPMS SHOT TO 4K AND 5K THEN SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE. TOWED TO DEALER. DEALER REPLACED PCM AND ALTERNATOR. AFTERWHICH, INTAKE MANIFOLD DOOR POSITION SENSOR SETS A CODE - FOR SENSOR (NO RESPONSE) INTERNAL TO INTAKE MANIFOLD. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STILL ON. *TR

I FIRST NOTICED THE LIGHT IN THE ANALOG CLICK GO OUT, THEN THE LIGHT IN THE SHIFTER AND OVERHEAD LAMP. MOST IMPORTANTLY IS MY POWER LOCKS STOPPED WORKING. I PURCHASED A 5 BATTERIES FOR MY REMOTE KEY AND WHEN THAT DIDN'T WORK I PURCHASED A NEW SET OF KEYS. THE HORN AND LIGHTS WOULD SOUND BUT THE LOCKS WOULD NOT LOCK. I HAVE TO MANUALLY LOCK MY DOORS AND I'M UNABLE TO ACCESS MY TRUNK UNLESS I CRAWL IN FROM THE BACK SEAT AND HIT THE RELEASE. I'VE HAD SEVERAL PEOPLE LOOK OVER MY CAR AND I NO ONE CAN FIGURE THIS OUT. I FINALLY STARTED RESEARCHING AND I SEE SEVERAL RECALLS BUT BECAUSE MY CAR WAS NOT BUILT IN A CERTAIN TIME AND LOCATION I'M NOT QUALIFIED FOR THE RECALLS UNLESS I PAY OUT OF MY OWN POCKET. I CAN'T EVEN TRADE IT IN AND GET A GOOD ENOUGH PRICE DUE TO THESE MALFUNCTIONS. I WILL BY NO MEANS TRUST CHRYSLER OR DODGE VEHICLES. *TR

WHEN THE OUTSIDE TEMP IS BELOW 40 DEGREES AND I FILL MY 2008 SEBRING CONVERTIBLE WITH GAS, GASOLINE GUSHES AND BLOWS OUT OF MY CAR FILLER TUBE ALL OVER THE PLACE. I HAVE TALKED TO THE CHRYSLER DEALER AND THEY SAY THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS. HOWEVER MY 2008 DODGE NITRO HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AND THERE WAS A RECALL TO FIX IT. I HAVE VIDEO OF THIS HAPPENING. *TR

MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS JUST DECIDE WHEN THEY WANT TO STOP LEAVING ME WITH ZERO VISIBILITY DURING A RAINY COMMUTE. *TR

MY FATHER OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING LIMITED. AROUND THE YEAR 2014 AND 70,000 MILES, THE CAR STARTED TO ACT LIKE IT WAS POSSESSED. RADIO, HAZARD LIGHTS, INTERIOR LIGHTS WOULD TURN ON ALL BY THEMSELVES. MY FATHER TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. THEY TOLD HIM THAT THE RADIO STAYED AWAKE WHILE THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF AND THAT THIS WAS CAUSING A DRAW ON THE BATTERY. THEY TOLD HIM HE COULD REPLACE THE RADIO FOR $900 OR JUST PULL THE FUSE. THIS WOULD CURE THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER, THE BATTERY WAS TRASH AND IT COST HIM OVER $300 TO REPLACE. THE KNEW BATTERY DIDN'T LAST A YEAR. THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY B/C IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. HOWEVER, NOW THEY SAID, THAT AFTER THE TEST PERFORMED A DRAW TEST, THERE WAS AN INTERMITTENT DRAW OF 1 AMP OR MORE AT TIMES. THEY COULDN'T ISOLATE THE CIRCUIT AND THAT IT SEEMED TO BE SOMETHING INTERNAL TO TIPM CAUSING ISSUE. THEY SAID THEY COULD REPLACE FOR $765 BUT WOULD HAVE TO RECHECK, AND COULDN'T GUARANTEE THAT WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY RECOMMEND THAT HE SHOULD JUST DRIVE THE CAR TO KEEP THE BATTERY CHARGED. I WOULD LIKE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THIS CLASS ACTION VS. CHRYSLER. YOU CAN CONTACT ME AT THIS EMAIL OR CALL ME AT [XXX] THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I STARTED THE CAR AND GOT A COUPLE MILES UP THE ROAD AND THIS LIGHTNING BOLT CAME ON SO I LOOKED IT UP AND IT SAID IT WAS THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL I HAVE NOTICED THE CAR ACCELERATES AND DECELERATES AT DIFFERENT TIMES AND IT SEEMS TO LOSE POWER WHILE I'M DRIVING IS THERE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE I JUST LOOKED AT ALL THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THERE ARE WAY TOO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME THING AND THE FIX IS COSTLY BUT IT SOUNDS TO ME LIKE CHRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT IT AND IGNORES IT. *TR

AS I SAT WITH FOOT ON BRAKE AT STOP SIGN, MY CAR HAD SUDDEN ACCELERATION AND MOVED FORWARD. IF A VEHICLE WOULD HAVE BEEN IN FRONT OF ME, I WOULD HAVE HIT IT. AFTER THE ACCELERATION, IT STALLED. THIS IS THE SECOND DAY IN A ROW THIS HAS HAPPENED. BOTH WERE WITH IN A 24 HOUR PERIOD. IT HAS HAPPENED IN THE PAST BUT AT THAT TIME THE CAR WAS IN THE PARK POSITION AND IT WOULD ""REV"" UP FOR NO REASON. *TR

NOT SAFE DRIVING A CAR WITH SUCH A DANGEROUS PROBLEM. CAR NEEDS TO BE RECALLED . *TR

I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF ENTERING A HIGHWAY FROM A DRIVEWAY. I HIT THE GAS PEDAL AND THE CAR TOOK OFF UNCONTROLLABLY ACROSS THE HIGHWAY, ACROSS LANES OF TRAFFIC, WENT UP AN EMBANKMENT AND THEN BACK DOWN WHERE THE CAR SHUT OFF. I HAD NOT DRIVEN THE CAR SINCE THE ACCIDENT, BUT WHEN I PICKED UP THE VEHICLE AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CONVERTIBLE ROOF HAD BEEN WORKED ON, I NOTICED THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE INDICATOR LIGHT WAS "ON". THIS MAY THE REASON IT ACCELERATED UNCONTROLLABLY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE SENSORS NEEDED TO BE CLEAN AND OR REPLACED UNDER THE SEAT.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND I GOT A WARNING ON MY DASHBOARD THAT SAID THE CONVERTIBLE TOP WAS IN OPERATION. I WAS ON THE FREEWAY DRIVING 60 MPH (APPROXIMATELY). ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE TOP STARTED TO OPEN (IT IS A HARD-TOP CONVERTIBLE) - IT FROZE IN MIDAIR BECAUSE THE TRUNK COMPARTMENT WAS NOT PREPARED FOR THE TOP TO GO INTO IT AND THE TRUNK LID WOULD NOT OPEN BECAUSE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION. WHEN THE TOP FROZE IN THE "UP IN THE AIR" POSITION, IT DID SOMETHING TO THE MOTORS. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP - THEY WERE ABLE TO GET THE TOP BACK DOWN (MANUALLY) AND THEN THEY SET IT SO IT WAS PERMANENTLY CLOSED UNTIL REPAIRS COULD BE MADE. UNFORTUNATELY, I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO GET IT REPAIRED - ABOUT 600 DOLLARS AND I WOULD NOT ANYWAY, BECAUSE IT MALFUNCTIONED - IT WAS NOT USER ERROR. THE EQUIPMENT COMPLETELY FAILED. IS THIS ON ANY TYPE OF A RECALL THAT WOULD ALLOW MY CAR TO BE FIXED AND COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURER?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER SEBRING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TPMS SENSOR FLASHED INTERMITTENTLY.

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

ON AUG. 8, 2014, WITH IN MINUTES OF EXITING THE 135 FRWY AT THE LAKE EXIT IN PASADENA, CA., AND SLOWING TO TURN INTO A DEL TACO, THE BREAKS ON OUR CAR "TOTALLY LOCKED UP!". THE FOLLOWING DAY WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO ALHAMBRA CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM. I WAS VERY DETAILED IN WHAT HAPPENED TO THE SERVICE MANAGER. THE RESULT WAS A NEW COMPUTER TO MONITOR AND ADMINISTER BRAKING INSTRUCTIONS TO THE VEHICLE. I ALMOST LEFT THE DEALERSHIP BEFORE I NOTICED NO MENTION OF THE INCIDENT AS I HAD ORIGINALLY DESCRIBED. THIS CONCERNED ME AND I ASKED THEM IF THE REMEMBERED WHY I HAD THE CAR TOWED IN. UPON THEIR ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, THEY UPDATED MY BILL DESCRIPTION TO INCLUDE THE ORIGINAL REASON MY CAR WAS TOWED TO THEIR FACILITY. I FEEL THEY WERE NOT AS ATTENTIVE TO WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT ONLY MINUTES BEFORE AND I HAVE HAD SEVERAL DISCUSSIONS AS WELL AS E-MAIL EXCHANGES WITH CHRYSLER AS A RESULT. MY ULTIMATE FEELING IS THEY ARE WAITING FOR MORE OF THESE INCIDENTS TO OCCUR BEFORE THEY DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I AM WORRIED NOT ONLY FOR MY WIFE AND MYSELF, BUT FOR ANYONE ELSE WHO MAY FIND THEMSELVES IN A SIMILAR SITUATION BUT WITH THE PROBLEM OF BEING ON A FREEWAY. THANK YOU. *TR
