2007 Chrysler Sebring Visibility Problems

I've had to replace the battery in this 3 times. Alternator 1. And Throttle Body Position Sensor twice. And now it's all starting to act up again. Car stalls, no reason, all dashboard warning lights flash and it stalls. No dashboard lights at night. Occasionally they flicker. Windshield wipers either won't work or won't shut off. Front windows are unusable, the track broke and back windows don't have power to make them work. Airbag and abs lights always flashing on dash and warning bell goes off all the time. Now my High beam wires have completely crumbled and radio takes 5-10 minutes to come on. Obviously a major electrical issue. I've lost my job thanks to the "reliability" of this money pit. Owned 3 years, problems began then. Today all lights are flashing, the air starts blowing high, wipers go on. I stop at light and it shuts off. Had to push off busy road. Waited half hour and it started, but now check engine, air bag, throttle body and seat belt lights all on. Very slowly, with many breaks, drive home & car smells like burning rubber. Visually can't find source. All fuses are good, and brand new battery last week.

REAR WINDOW IS FULL OF DOTS ABOUT 1 1/2 TO 2 INCHES IN DIAMETER. LOOKS LIKE A DEFAULT IN THE GLASS OR THE TINT. WE HAVE TRIED WASHING BOTH INSIDE AND OUT SIDE OF THE WINDOW BUT IT HAS NO EFFECT. THIS STARTED ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO AND HAS JUST BEEN GETTING WORST. IT IS SO BAD NOW YOU CAN NOT SEE OUT THE BACK WINDOW USING THE REAR VIEW MIRROR.

THE WIPERS WILL COME ON AT ANY TIME. VERY STARTLING WHEN CAR IS MOVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 75 TIMES SINCE WE BOUGHT IT IN 2008. OUR MECHANIC (WHO IS REPUTABLE AND DOES QUALITY WORK) HAS BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL SEVERAL TIMES TRYING TO PIN POINT THE PROBLEM. *TR

I BOUGHT MY 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING BRAND NEW APRIL 2007. AFTER ABOUT A YEAR (OR LESS) AND WELL UNDER 20,000 MILES THE GAS CAP LIGHT WOULD NOT GO OFF, WINDSHIELD WIPERS WENT OFF SPORADICALLY EVEN IN THE "OFF" POSITION, GOT STUCK IN PARK, FUEL TANK HAD TO BE REPLACED (WHICH WENT OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING), AIR BAG LIGHT WON'T GO OFF, ETC. HAD ALL THESE PROBLEMS FIXED ONLY TO HAVE MANY OF THEM RECUR. THEY WERE ALL FIXED UNDER WARRANTY. NOW AFTER 36,000 MILES AND NO WARRANTY, THE PROBLEMS I HAVE NOW ARE THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STILL WON'T GO OFF, MY ELECTRIC WINDOWS SOMETIMES WON'T WORK AT ALL (DRIVER'S SIDE SPECIFICALLY), AIR BAG LIGHT WON'T GO OFF BUT OCCASIONALLY WHEN DRIVER'S SEAT IS MOVED BACKWARD AND FORWARD BUT ALWAYS RETURNS, CAR WILL STALL AT TIMES WHEN PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL WHILE DRIVING. AFTER THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS BEGAN GOING OFF AGAIN, TOOK IT TO CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IN MY TOWN...THEY CONTACTED CHRYSLER TO SEE IF THEY WOULD REPLACE IT AGAIN AND THEY REFUSED. ALL THE RECALLS I READ ABOUT THAT APPEAR TO PERTAIN TO MY VEHICLE, CHRYSLER SAYS MY VIN IS NOT A PART OF THE RECALL (EVEN THOUGH IT'S HAPPENING TO MY CAR TOO)! I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHRYSLER VEHICLE FOR MYSELF, OR ANYONE IN MY FAMILY AGAIN! PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR STARTED EARLY AND NEVER WENT AWAY. *TR

MY AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY. SOMETIMES IT BLINKS OFF AND ON A FEW MINUTES AT A TIME AS I DRIVE FOR AS LONG AS I'M DRIVING. OTHER TIMES, IT WILL STAY ON FOR 30 MINUTES OR SO CONTINUOUSLY, THEN STAY OFF. OR, I CAN GO DAYS WITHOUT IT COMING ON. I'M AFRAID IT'S GOING TO EITHER DEPLOY FOR NO REASON WHILE I'M DRIVING AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, OR NOT DEPLOY IF DO HAVE AN ACCIDENT. MY BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON ALMOST EVERY TIME I STOP AT A LIGHT. I HAVE HAD THE BRAKES CHECKED BY A MECHANIC, AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THEM. MY DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW HAS OCCASIONALLY BEGUN "STICKING". USUALLY IT IS WHEN I HAVE ROLLED IT DOWN, IT DOES NOT WANT TO ROLL BACK UP. MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY, SO I HAVE NOT PAID TO HAVE IT HOOKED UP TO THE COMPUTER AT THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THERE ARE ANY ERROR CODES. THESE HAVE ALL STARTED HAPPENING IN THE LAST THREE MONTHS, AND ARE STEADILY GETTING WORSE. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING IN NOVEMBER OF 2007. ON THE WAY HOME I ENCOUNTERED ISSUES WITH THE HEATING AND DEFROSTING SYSTEM AND SUBSEQUENTLY RECEIVED A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE. SEVERAL MONTHS AFTER THE PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE I BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE PROBLEMS WITH THE ENGINE STALLING UPON COMING TO A NORMAL STOP OR SUDDEN STOP WITH THE ENGINE STALLING WITHOUT NOTICE. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES AND THEY CONTINUALLY TELL ME THEY CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR AND THE COMPUTER INDICATES NO FAULTS OR ERROR CODES. THE STALLING HAS OCCURRED AT LEAST 20-30 TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. THIS TUESDAY THE 19TH OF OCTOBER, IT STALLED YET AGAIN AND HAD TO BE TOWED OFF THE FREEWAY ON A RAINY DAY DURING RUSH HOURS. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER THAT DAY AND AGAIN THEY CHECKED IT AND SAID NOTHING REGISTERED ON THE COMPUTER. I ADVISED THEM OF THE OBVIOUS SAFETY HAZARD WITH THE CAR STALLING AND THEY AGREE BUT STILL INDICATE THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO BECAUSE NOTHING REGISTERS ON THE COMPUTER AND THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR NOR ALLOWING MY DAUGHTER TO DRIVE IT, IT STALLED ON HER ON THE FREEWAY, AND THE CHRYSLER DEALER I HAVE BEEN TAKING IT TO DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE INTERESTED IN DOING MUCH ABOUT IT EVEN TO A POINT ABOUT MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO OBTAIN A RENTAL WHILE THE CAR IS IN SERVICE. I HAVE ALSO CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY HAVE GIVEN ME A CASE NUMBER TO INVESTIGATE THE ISSUE. *TR
