| 2007 | AIR BAGS | WHILE DRIVING THE CAR WILL STALL EITHER AT A STOP OR WHILE MOVING. THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON DASH CONTINUES TO COME ON. THE FLASHERS RANDOMLY START FLASHING WHILE DRIVING. THE RADIO WILL CHANGE STATIONS ON IT OWN. THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN REPLACED OR REPAIRED 3 TIME IN THE FIRST 25,000 MILES. THE SUSPENSION MAKES A GRINDING NOISE UPON TURNING. I HAVE HAD THE CAR IN AT THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPT AT LEAST A DOZEN TIMES. RADIO HAS BEEN REPLACED BUT CONTINUES TO CHANGE ON ITS OWN. AIRBAG SWITCH HAS BEEN REPLACED, BUT CONTINUES TO APPEAR ON DASH. SERVICE STATES THAT COMPUTER CANNOT READ ERRORS, AND PUTS CAR ON ROAD TEST. *TR |
| 2004 | FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER | MY CAR, 2004 SEBRING SEDAN WITH 19,000 HAS HAD A SURGING PROBLEM FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. AS I,M COMING TO A STOP, WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, THE CAR WILL SURGE FORWARD AS IF I WAS GIVING IT GAS. ON 10/28/04, I'VE HAD THE CAR EXAMINED COON RAPIDS CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP MECHANICS AND WAS TOLD THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT OUTSIDE OF MISFIRES IN THREE CYLINDERS. THEY SAID THEY ROAD TESTED THE CAR AND DID NOT EXPERIENCE WHAT I EXPERIENCE EVERY DAY DURING EVERY STOP. I WAS TOLD THEY RESET THE PCM AS THIS IS WHAT MANUFACTURER RECOMENDS. WHEN I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP, I EXPERIENCED THE SAME SURGING FROM THE VERY FIRST STOP AND ALL THE OTHER STOPS DURING THE FIFTEEN MILE DRIVE HOME.NEXTWEEK I'LL TAKE IT TO ANOTHER DEALER AND SEE IF THEY CAN FIX THIS. I'VE NOTICED THAT MYCARSTATS.COM HAS NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS PROBLEM AND THE DEALERS/MANUFACTURER APPEARS TO NOT DEALING WITH IT. I'VE COME VERY CLOSE TO REAR-ENDING CARS DURING MY TRAVELS. I EXPECT THE SURGE AND PREPARE FOR IT BUT THERE HAS TO BE A FIX.*AK |
