Problem overview

Some Chrysler Sebring owners report experiencing engine failure immediately after removing jumper cables, even with a new battery and starter. This issue may stem from a bad alternator that fails to charge the battery adequately, leading to a loss of power. Additionally, internal battery degradation due to age can contribute to the battery's inability to hold a charge. Owners have also noted that loose connections within the electrical system can cause the engine to die abruptly after jump-starting. Furthermore, low fuel pressure has been identified as a potential cause, resulting in the engine starting briefly but then stalling due to insufficient fuel for combustion. To address these concerns, it is advisable to check the alternator's functionality, inspect the battery for degradation, ensure all connections are secure, and verify fuel pressure.
