2008 Chrysler Sebring Problems
Water Leak Due to Plugged AC Drain
A plugged AC evaporator drain tube can cause a water leak inside the car; usually near the front passenger's feet.
No Start/Stalling Issues Due to Internal Distributor Fault
Sensor failure inside the distributor can cause intermittent stalling or a failure to start. In addition, the wires to the distributor are susceptible to internal damage, which can cause the same symptoms.
Odor from HVAC vents
Some vehicles may develop a musty odor coming from the HVAC system, Dodge has issued a cleaner/disinfectant and a coating for the evaporator designed to inhibit bacterial growth.
Software Update for Erroneous Engine Misfire Trouble Code
3.0L V6 (coupe)
Erroneous Check Engine Light illumination for intermittent misfires can be solved with a software update to the powertrain control module (PCM).
Rattle From Rear Shock
A rattle from the rear of the vehicle may indicate that the rear shock absorbers are defective. Updated shocks are available; however, careful inspection of all suspension components should be performed before any parts are replaced.
Radio software update
Squeak in Steering Column Due to Rubber Boot or Seal
A squeak heard while turning the steering wheel may indicate that the rubber boot seal on the steering shaft needs some trimming and lubrication.
Locked up WCM may cause engine cranking problems
If the engine does not crank (or cranks but won't start), the wireless control module (WCM) may have locked up. This is due to static discharge through the ignition key. A revised model should be installed, but simply disconnecting the negative terminal of the battery for thirty seconds will temporarily reset the module so you can start the car.
Knocking From AC Compressor When Outside Temp High
When the outside temperature is above 90° F and the AC is running, a knocking noise from the engine compartment may be heard, especially when the vehicle is stopped or idling. This is commonly caused by a failing AC compressor assembly which will require replacement.
Wet Carpet Due to Plugged Evaporator Drain
The carpet under the right side of the dash may become wet with water. This can be caused by the AC evaporator drain being plugged with debris. Our technicians tell us that once the drain is clear, a cabin air filter should be installed to keep debris out.
Sunroof May Leak in Passenger Area Due to Problem With Rear Drain
Due to a problem with the rear drain, the sunroof may develop a leak into the passenger area. The drain tube can get kinked; tubing can be installed over the drain hose to prevent further problems.
Dodge issues recall on connector for cooling fan motor
To inspect a connector for the cooling fan motor, Dodge issued a safety recall. Coolant may be drawn into the connector, causing a short circuit and potentially an engine fire. Dealers are installing a revised wiring harness and replacing any damaged fan motors.
HVAC module software update to correct whistling noise
If the heating, ventilation and AC (HVAC) system makes a whistling noise, the HVAC module may need a software update.
Front door glass rattle
The front door may make a rattling or fluttering sound when closing the door with the window down. Our technicians tell us the outer belt molding may be causing the noise and if so in should be replaced with an update part.
Clock May Gain Time
The clock may gain time periodically, upgrading the wireless control module (WCM) software should correct this issue.
