Sebring

  • 20,000 miles
The contact owns a 2006 Chrysler Sebring. When the contact started the ignition, there was a low power response when the accelerator pedal was depressed. The (mil) malfunction indicator illuminated on the instrument panel, which remained lit until the engine was turned off. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer and they stated that the control sensor wiring was chewed up, possibly by mice or squirrels. The vehicle was repaired; however, the service warranty was expired. The failure recurred on a separate occasion. Through research, the contact discovered that the sensor wiring was made from a soy base product. The manufacturer was notified and the vehicle has not been repaired. The VIN was unknown. The failure and current mileages were 20,000.
