Is Your Chrysler Sebring or Dodge Running Rough?
If you’re dealing with frustrating issues like a persistent check engine light, poor fuel economy, stalling, or a complete no-start condition in your 2007-2010 Chrysler Sebring, Dodge Avenger, or Journey, the root cause is often a failing Engine Control Module (ECM). The ECM is the brain of your vehicle’s engine, controlling everything from fuel mixture and ignition timing to transmission shifting and emissions. When it starts to fail, it can create a cascade of problems that are difficult to diagnose and can leave you stranded.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2009 Dodge Journey come into the shop with a complaint of intermittent stalling at stoplights. The customer had already replaced the spark plugs, ignition coils, and even the fuel pump with no success. The check engine light was on, but the codes were erratic, pointing to multiple unrelated sensors. After hours of chasing electrical gremlins, we focused on the ECM. A close inspection revealed no physical damage, but upon connecting our diagnostic tools, we saw the data stream from the module was inconsistent and would drop out randomly. We installed one of our pre-programmed ECMs, and the vehicle immediately started and idled perfectly. The erratic codes vanished. It was a classic case of internal ECM failure that mimicked other problems, costing the owner time and money on unnecessary parts before finding the true solution.
