In owners' own words
I have a 2004 Sebring with an intermittent problem with engine surging, dying, reving up while driving at slow speeds. The dealer has tried several fixes without solving the problem, they can't duplicate the concern so they say there is no problem. I have found 19 complaints on this website that share the same concern. If you have one of these problem cars, lets compare notes. [email protected]. Engine and engine cooling

Manufacturer contacted dealership about several other vehicles with same year, make, and model, whereby the same problem existed. *Ak........Vehicle since acknowledged by Chrysler under lemon law, and in process of repurchasing. Two subsequent Chrysler Sebring returne dto dealer for same stalling problem. Engine and engine cooling · reported at 180 miles
