Restore Peak Performance to Your Chrysler or Dodge
Is your 2007-2008 Chrysler Sebring or 2008 Dodge Avenger suffering from frustrating and hard-to-diagnose issues? Symptoms like intermittent stalling, a persistent check engine light, poor fuel mileage, or a complete no-start condition can often be traced back to a failing Engine Control Module (ECM). The ECM is the central computer of your vehicle, responsible for managing everything from fuel injection and ignition timing to transmission shifting. When it fails, it can create a cascade of problems that can be costly and difficult to pinpoint. This direct-fit replacement ECM is the definitive solution to get your vehicle running reliably again.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2008 Sebring with the 2.7L V6 come into the shop with a maddening issue: it would stall without warning at stoplights, but only after it had been driven for over 30 minutes. There were no consistent trouble codes, just a generic U0100 ‘Lost Communication’ code that would pop up occasionally. After exhausting all other possibilities—checking fuel pressure, sensors, and wiring harnesses—we focused on the ECM. Using a thermal camera, we noticed a significant hot spot developing on the module’s circuit board after it warmed up. A failing processor was causing the intermittent shutdown. We replaced it with one of these pre-programmed units, and the customer was thrilled. The stalling issue was gone for good, saving them from potentially thousands in continued diagnostic fees.
Is a Failing 2007-2008 Sebring ECM Causing Your Problems?
A faulty engine computer can manifest in numerous ways, often mimicking other component failures. Before you start replacing expensive sensors or fuel system parts, check if your vehicle is exhibiting any of the classic signs of ECM failure. Getting the diagnosis right is the first step to a lasting repair.
Symptoms of a Bad ECM and Benefits of This Part
- ✔ Check Engine Light: Often illuminated with communication-related fault codes (U-codes) or multiple, unrelated sensor codes.
- ✔ Engine Stalling: The engine may stall unexpectedly while driving or at idle, often becoming more frequent as the engine warms up.
- ✔ No-Start Condition: You may experience a ‘crank, no-start’ situation where the engine turns over but never fires up.
- ✔ Poor Performance: Noticeable loss of power, hesitation during acceleration, and a significant drop in fuel economy.
- ✔ Erratic Transmission Behavior: The ECM plays a role in transmission control, so a failure can lead to harsh shifting, getting stuck in gear, or incorrect shift points.
- ✔ Plug & Play Solution: This module arrives fully programmed to your vehicle’s specific VIN and mileage. No expensive dealer programming is required.
- ✔ Guaranteed Compatibility: This unit is a direct replacement for a wide range of original part numbers, ensuring a perfect fit and function.
The Simple, Reliable Fix
Don’t let a faulty computer keep your car off the road. Our process is designed to be as simple as possible. When you place your order, you provide us with your vehicle’s VIN. Our technicians then flash the module with your car’s exact software, ensuring all factory settings and security information (like the anti-theft system) are correctly configured.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this ECM really ‘Plug and Play’?
Absolutely. We program the unit using the VIN you provide during checkout. This process loads your vehicle’s specific software and security information onto the module, so it’s ready for immediate installation and operation without any need for a trip to the dealership.
Where do I provide my vehicle’s VIN?
You will be prompted to enter your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) during the checkout process. Please double-check it for accuracy, as this is critical for correct programming.
Do I need any special tools to install this part?
No special tools are required. Installation can typically be done with a basic socket set to disconnect the battery and unbolt the old module. The electrical connectors are designed to be removed and installed by hand.
Will this fix my car’s problem for certain?
This part will correct any issues directly caused by a faulty ECM. While the symptoms listed are very common for ECM failure, they can sometimes be caused by other issues like bad wiring or faulty sensors. It is always recommended to have a proper diagnosis performed to confirm the ECM is the root cause of the problem.
Do I need to send my old computer back?
This purchase does not require you to return your original module. There is no core charge or need to send the old part back to us.
