“I have a 2005 Chrysler Sebring that has sudden acceleration that happens without warning. On december 30th '13 shortly after I registered the car I was driving off an expressway ramp I felt the car accelerate on it's own - I couldn't stop it. I turned the wheel into a snow bank and shut the car off. The same day on the way home it happened again. I had someone drive it perhaps 50 miles and it didn't happen for him. …”
NHTSA complaint #10629475, filed 2014-08, 120,978 miles“As I stopped at a stop sign the car did a quick shudder. I was able to continue for maybe 500 feet when the car completely lost power and the battery light came on. I knew I was low on gas ,but the fuel light has not come on yet. The gauge was showing less than a quarter tank but was still above the bottom lines. (in fact, I was on my line to fill up when this happened.) luckily I was able to get the car off the busy road. It was towed to the dealership where they discovered it had run out of fuel . The dealership had to replace the fuel sending unit. Updated 10/11/07.”
