Is Your Chrysler Sebring or Dodge Running Erratically?
If you’re experiencing 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). This component is the brain of your vehicle, managing everything from fuel injection and ignition timing to transmission shifting. When it falters, the entire vehicle’s performance and reliability are compromised. Don’t let a faulty computer keep you off the road. This direct-fit replacement is the reliable solution you need to restore your vehicle’s proper function.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2009 Dodge Avenger come into the shop that had its owner completely stumped. The car would randomly stall at traffic lights and occasionally refuse to start altogether, but there were no consistent trouble codes pointing to a specific sensor. The owner had already replaced the crankshaft and camshaft position sensors with no luck. After hooking up our professional scan tool and monitoring live data, we noticed erratic voltage readings and data packet loss from the ECM itself. We swapped in a known-good, programmed module, and the Avenger ran perfectly. It’s a classic case where the central computer was causing ghost-like problems that are nearly impossible to trace without looking at the source. This is why a quality, correctly programmed 2007-2010 Sebring Engine Computer is so critical.

This ensures that all immobilizer (anti-theft) systems and vehicle-specific options work correctly right out of the box.

It’s a true plug-and-play installation that a competent DIY mechanic or any professional shop can perform quickly and easily.
