Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“After accelerating from a stop at a traffic light, the car accelerator or throttle began to stick and accelerate intensely, going up to 80mph with the brake engaged. I pulled off the main road, continuing to brake as hard as I could until I was able to safely shut down the car. I had no control over the car and narrowly avoided a serious accident. Prior to this incident, my car has had every service recommended by the manufacturer manual.”
NHTSA complaint #10486405, filed 2012-11, 80,500 miles“Several months ago I was stopped at a stoplight in my 2004 Chrysler Sebring Convertible, 2.7l automatic. I shifted into neutral as usual at the light. When the light changed I shifted into drive and the engine went wide open. I lurched forward, jammed on brakes and turned ignition off. I paused a minute (in front of starteled onlookers), restarted the engine, and drove on cautiously. Next day I took car to Chrysler dealer and they could find nothing wrong with the car. This could have been disastrous. It has not happened again.”
NHTSA complaint #10303510, filed 2010-02, 25,500 miles“I have a 2004 Chrysler Sebring Convertible v6. The car stalls every once and a while, after stopping or while riding at lower speeds, most often in hot summer days. The main concern is that when it stalls while riding, I lose power to the breaks and the steering wheel, making it very difficult to control. It also has a problem that after running for a while on a highway using the cruise control, when it comes to a stop, it begins to stall, but I guess the fuel injection system kicks-in and that leads to a very rapid acceleration. …”
NHTSA complaint #10306468, filed 2010-02, 30,000 miles“Had fuel pump replaced a couple months ago. Then at gas station wouldnt start at all, had a tow truck take it to a mechanic and that mechanic tapped on gas tank and it started and said fuel pump needs to be replace so I called the dealer where I bought it because the new fuel pump had a warranty. They said they found nothing wrong with fuel pump but found problem wirh #2 selinoid and they replaced it. Two weeks later ths car was driving fine but when I got home and turned off the car for a couple hours it started right up. …”
