2007 Chrysler Sebring vehicle speed control problems

“I WAS RIDING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY DAUGHTER IN PASSENGER SEAT WHEN SUDDENLY MY ENGINE LIGHT STARTED BLINKING AND THE RPM'S SHOT UP TO ABOUT 7,000 AND CONTINUED IF ACCELERATOR WAS PRESS. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER. CALL AAA TO HAVE CAR TOWED TO MY DESTINATION. THE CAR WAS NOW IN WHAT IS CALLED LIMP MODE AND HAS BEEN FOR 2 MONTHS NOW.”

“VERY MAJOR PROBLEM. ON A COLD START, IF THE CAR WAS OFF FOR AT LEAST 6 HOURS, IT CRANKS AND CRANKS AND CRANKS FOR ABOUT 8 SECONDS BEFORE STARTING, WHEN IT DOES START, IT REVS ALL THE WAY TO 2500 RPMS BY ITSELF AND SLOWLY GOES DOWN. IF I TRY TO PUT IT IN DRIVE BEFORE IT STOPS REVVING, THE RPMS GO UP AND DOWN BY THEMSELVES AND MY ETC LIGHT STARTS FLASHING AND I AM UNABLE TO CONTROL THE RPMS. I THEN HAVE TO TURN OFF THE CAR AND START IT AGAIN TO STOP THE CAR SPASMS. 50% WHEN I START IT AND LET IT STOP REVVING BEFORE SHIFTING TO DRIVE, IT GOES DOWN TO 1000 RPMS AND I'M GOOD TO GO. THE OTHER 50% OF THE TIME, IT FLASHES THE ETC LIGHT AND STUTTERS AND I MUST KEEP RESTARTING THE CAR TO BE ABLE TO SAFELY DRIVE IT. I SEARHED UP THE PROBLEM AND SAW THAT BAD SPARK PLUGS OR A DIRTY INTAKE MANIFOLD COULD BE THE PROBLEMS. I THEN GOT MY SPARK PLUGS CHANGED AND INTAKE MANIFOLD TAKEN OUT MY CAR TO BE CLEANED OUT. THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTED. I THEN SEARCHED MORE AND WENT THROUGH A THREAD OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM, PEOPLE WITH DODGE AVENGERS AND CHRYSLER SEBRINGS ALL AROUND THE YEAR MY CAR MODEL IS. MULTIPLE COMMENTERS IN THE THREAD EXPLAINED THAT THEY PUT THROUGH A…”

“I WAS TOLD IT'S ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AND THE CAR DOESN'T GO OVER 20 MILES AND IT SAYS THAT IT'S THE INTAKE ALSO SAYS IT'S THE MUFFLER AND SENSORS AND OTHER THINGS WHICH I HAVE HAD CHECK AND IT NEITHER.AND SOMETIMES IT PUSHES BACK OR IS STALLS AND JUST TURNS OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION.”

“ANYTIME IS RAINS CAR SEEMS TO NOT BE ABLE TO ACCELERATE AND WANTS TO STALL FROM A STOP OR LOW RPM'S, ESPECIALLY AT TURNS AND STOP SIGNALS AND STOP LIGHTS, HAD CAR LOOKED AT AND WAS UNABLE TO FIX PROBLEM.”

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE IN WET AND HUMID CONDITIONS, THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE INDICATOR WOULD ILLUMINATE AND THE VEHICLE'S SPEED WOULD SUDDENLY REDUCE TO APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH. IN ADDITION, THE BRAKES AND POWER STEERING MALFUNCTIONED. IN ADDITION, THE ENGINE WOULD ERRONEOUSLY REV VERY HIGH AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WOULD LOSE TENSION AND TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SEVERAL UNKNOWN LOCAL DEALERS, BUT THE FAILURES COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. FURTHERMORE, WHEN REFUELING IN COLDER WEATHER CONDITIONS, THE FUEL WOULD SPRAY OUT OF THE FILLER HOLE. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000.”

“I WAS DRIVING WHEN MY HOOD POP RIGHT UP AND IT HAS BEEN THE SECOND TIME. ALSO MY CRUISE CONTROL DOESN'T WORK AND SOME LIGHT INSIDE DON'T TURN ON OR MY MIRRORS. *TR”
