2008 Chrysler SebringElectrical systemLightsEngine & cooling

I was on my way to work. All the warning light appeared on my dash. Then all the warning light, radio, speedometer gage and all head light and tail lights went out. I was driving in the dark. My engine bogged down no power. I was barley moving. I replaced the battery no difference. I replaced the alternator worked for 3 minutes and then the car was back to the same as before. I contacted a nearby mechanic facility they told me that it was most definitely the fuse panel under the hood. That's its not a recall but a...

New battery, plugs and wires, new alternator. It will run for 5 seconds after jumping, then lights pop on and it dies. When jumping the negative also throws a spark while trying to start.

1996 Chrysler SebringElectrical systemLights

I was driving my car & listening to music. All of a sudden my passenger side dash speaker started smoking, then was shooting fire. I had a Bubbler drink & splashed it across the dash onto the speaker. It was scary, as I thought my engine might blow up. I took it to the shop, but they were so busy, it sat for a week, & I finally said forget it(I would have been too costly) & I needed my vehicle to get to work. Many things failed after that; gas gauge; speedometer needle; right turn signal; & radio.Other things but just can't remember at the moment.

The lights went out alot and I would giggle the wire to get them to fully turn on. Then that stopped working. We have tried different routes of trying to get them to work but nothing will. It can only be driven during the day now.

The convertible roof would open with pausing. The trunk was stuck open not closing but you could hear motor. Now trunk closed and stay closed with no motor sound. Convertible top isn't opening but when car drives at 30mph the roof flies open. The dashboard light would go off and on while driving,causing unable to see mph or anything. I can not drive due to fear of being in a accident or causing one since the car is malfunctioning and the roof will fall off on routine driving on highway with speed limits the car can't exceed.

2007 Chrysler SebringElectrical systemLights

I have researched and several of these cars have this issue. I bought my car used august 2018,i love this car...But.. The dash lights have never worked!! So, if you drive my car at dark you have no idea how fast you are driving!! Please won't you fix this? This is a costly repair, that is too well known for these cars and makes it very dangerous!!! Also, the cruise is affected and does not work as well.Please fix for me.

2007 Chrysler SebringLights

We just bought a used car, this chrysler sebring, on 3/28/19. My daughter drove it home in the dark last night and said that there was no lighting in the instrument panel. After doing some research, I see that this often happens. Happens when vehicle is still and moving. I'm assuming this happened to the previous owners.

My instrument panel has no background lights, they do t turn on at all. I took it into a local shop and they said all the fuse are good and they think it might be a modgular (battery) that needs to be replaced. I have seen a lot of other owners having this same issue with their sebring as well.
