What owners wrote
Brand new (2 months old) chrysler sebring convertible caught fire while driving down a residential street. I have now discovered that there is a safety recall that was issued october 2007 for this but I was sold the vehicle in may 2008 and never notified of the safety recall. Car was a total loss.
At any given moment loss of power will occur and motor will shut off. Anytime on the freeway or parked. Occasionally at random intervals car will crank but not turn over until after repeated attempts to start it will turn over appropriately.
