1996 Chrysler Sebring Convertible Vehicle speed control Problems

“For about a year I have had an intermittent problem with the tachometer and odometer on my jxi. Sometimes they work and sometimes they don't. The dealership said this is a common problem with the 1996 and 1997 's and that I need a new circuit board at a cost of over $700.00. Not replaced yet.”

“Acceleration problem. Going 35-40 in residential area, thought we were slowing down for stop light, acceleration pedal went to floor. Car sped up. Brakes would not stop the car. Emergency brake was pulled and car put into neutral. Stopped before reaching two cars ahead waiting to turn.”

“Well when I bought the car the back window was fully out, also when im driving it seems as tho im going slower than what my speedomiter says. The alarm doesnt work at all. My breaks bont fully break on time so I have to stop earlyer than usual.also one day I was in the car and I put the car in drive and the car started to roll back slowly also the stering wheel locked.also when I put gas in it , it says its half empty fast when I only drive around the corner,but when I turn it off and let it sit for a while the meeter goes up.”

“While driving 65 MPH accelerator stuck and vehicle revved even though consumer had taken his foot of pedal, consumer applied brakes and emergency brake, he had to shut off engine to stop vehicle, the vehicle was towed to mechanic who determined that throttle cable had to be replaced, it was frayed which had caused it to get stuck.”

“Consumer stated the engine would race when traveling at low speeds and at the same time when braking, on one occasion consumer was unable to stop the vehicle even with both feet on the brake, also there was a recall performed on the vehicle regardiing the gas line, however the problem has since reoccured.”
