PERIODIC LOSS OF THROTTLE CONTROL. THROTTLE LIGHT WILL COME ON USUALLY WHILE IDLING AT A STOP, CAR STARTS SHAKING, WILL NOT ACCELERATE. ALMOST GOT INTO A WRECK. I HAVE TWO KIDS WITH ME IN THE CAR. I THOUGHT IT WAS SAFE BECAUSE THROTTLE BODY WAS REPLACED AND DIDNT HAVE PROBLEMS FOR A COUPLE WEEKS SINCE THEN! MECHANICS CANT EVEN FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM.
CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I STARTED HAVING ERRACTIC SHIFTING, CODES CAME BACK AS PO755, P0700, P0716, P1607. THIS VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION WILL NOT SHIFT. I HAVE TAKEN TO NUMEROUS SHOPS HALF OF THEM SAY IT THE PCM THE OTHER SAY IT NEEDS A TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT. I HAVE HAD THE SHIFT SOLENOID B REPLACED BY DEALERSHIP ONLY FOR THEM TO CHARGE ME THEN TELL ME IT NEED A TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WILL STILL DRIVE FORWARD AND BACKWARD BUT WILL NOT SHIFT GEARS AT ALL. LOSSES ACCELERATION EVERY SO OFTEN THEN HARSELY GOES BACK INTO GEAR WHILE IN MOTION. RPM IS VERY HIGH BUT WILL STILL DRIVE.
CAR KEEPS LOSING POWER WHILE DRIVING AND THE ETC WARNING LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON EVERY OTHER DAY, TAKE IT TO GET A DIAGNOSTIC CODE READING AND NOTHING COMES UP.
ETC LIGHT COMES ON AND VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE IT HAPPENS WHEN I START THE VEHICLE WHEN I DRIVE IT HAPPENS CONSTANTLY I TOOK VEHICLE TO CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT WA THE THROTTLE BODY PAID 800 DOLLARS STILL HAVE THE ETC AND SAME ISSUE HAPPENING. THIS IS A LIBILITY AND ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE A VEHICLE AND HAVE IT LOSE ACCELERATION WHY DRIVING UP HILL OR HIGHWAY.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHRYSLER SEBRING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED TWICE IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS. THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT AND ALL THE OTHER WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT ABLE TO RESTART WITHOUT CHARGING THE BATTERY OVERNIGHT; HOWEVER THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S HOME. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SIX AMP DRAW/ COMPUTER ELECTRIC FAILURE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 99,288.
MY CAR'S ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON WHEN I AM IN MOTION. THE ETC TURNS OFF WHEN THE CAR IS CUT OFF AND RESTARTED. I FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING THE EXPRESSWAY BEING THAT I DRIVE FOR A LIVING.
WHILE DRIVING TO WORK, MY CHRYSLER SEABRINGS WINDSHIELD WIPERS STARTED MOVING ON THEIR OWN. AT FIRST IT WAS MAYBE ONCE . AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS THEY STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY. NOT HAVING WORKING WINDSHIELD WIPERS IN FLORIDA IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT PRETTY MUCH RAINS EVERY DAY. I TOOK MY CAR TO A LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND NOW I AM BEING CHARGED $1100 A SWITCH AND A TIPM. I HAD NO IDEA WHAT A TIPM WAS SO I LOOKED IT UP ON THE INTERNET. SEEMS CHRYSLER HAS A DEFECTIVE PART ON ALMOST ALL OF THEIR VEHICLES WHICH CONTROL ALL ELECTRICAL DEVICES. THIS SITUATION IS SO UNFAIR. THESE TIPM PARTS SHOULD BE REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE.
I WAS DRIVING MY CAR LAST WEEK AND THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON THEN WENT OFF HAPPENED MAYBE 3 OR 4 TIMES BUT NOTHING OF IT... SO TODAY I'M ON MY WAY FROM WORK I MAKE A STOP ON MY WAY HOME GO TO START THE CAR AND LEAVE AND I TURNED THE KEY BUT NOTHING THE RADIO AND LIGHTS ALL WORK BUT IT'S NOT EVEN ATTEMPTING TO START. I THOUGHT MAYBE I NEEDED A JUMP I TRIED THAT AND STILL NOTHING I HAVE ROUGHLY 56000 MILES AND I SERVICE THE CAR REGULARLY I NEED AN EXPLANATION BECAUSE THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A COMMON PROBLEM FROM MULTIPLE THREADS I'VE READ ABOUT THIS CAR. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE!!!! *JS
THE CAR IS LESS THEN 6MO I PURCHASED THE CAR WITH EXTENDED WARRANTY, THEY NOW SAYING THAT THE EXTENDED WARRANT ONLY COVER THE ENGINE AND THE TRANSMISSION, THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL IS FAULTY, THE WHOLE THROTTLE BODY HAS TO BE REPLACE THE SHOP THEN TELLS ME THAT THROTTLE BODY ON THE CAR WAS FROM A JUNK YARD THE SENSOR IS WARPED. J.D BYRYDER HAS BEEN GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND ABOUT FIXING MY CAR THAT I STILL PAY A CAR NOTE ON EVERY TWO WEEKS. AND HAVE NEVER MISSED A PAYMENT. *TR
THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR DECELERATED AND WAS IDLING HIGH/ROUGH. IT WILL NOT PICK UP SPEED BEYOND 25-30 MPH. *TR
Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
