“My car was parked in my driveway, as I was closing the convertible roof, I heard a popping sound two different times. Once I made sure the windows and roof closed I looked to see the back seat arm rest panels had blown away from the frame of the car. I have it at a dealership now waiting to hear there explanation that would cause this to happen.”
NHTSA complaint #11111174, filed 2018-07, 82,000 miles“I was driving down the road and I got a warning on my dashboard that said the convertible top was in operation. I was on the freeway driving 60 MPH (approximately).

NHTSA complaint #10717872, filed 2015-05, 119,614 miles“Horn and passenger side low beam went out on my 4-cyl. 2.4l 2008 Chrysler Sebring sedan about a month ago. I replaced the bulb, which is labor intensive on this car in itself and the low beam still did not work. I tested the new bulb and it worked fine. I moved the bulb to the drivers side headlamp and it worked fine. The harness for the bulb connector carries a 12v current but still the low beam does not work. Every online search points to a faulty tipm(totally integrated power module). I can't afford a new one at $595 and that's if I replace it myself. …”

NHTSA complaint #11112617, filed 2018-07, 177,000 miles“So far my 2008 Sebring has turned off while driving twice. I was slowing down from 30mph for a stop light and it turned off and was luckily able to utilize the brakes if not I would have rear ended the vehicle in front of me, but as for the steering, it was unresponsive. However, I turned my car back on as if nothing happen until the second time it stalled while turning into my street. Same issue occurred (no steering, but brakes were ok.)car stalls once again good thing my car turns back on immediately. …”
