    The speedodometer stop working and the abs light came on at the same time. I have a Chrysler sebring convertible 2010 2.7 liter engine. Also when driven for an extended period of time the car won't restart . The transmission not shifting properly, the rpms are higher than they should be . The vehicle went to the dealership and they couldn't give me a clear diagnosis of the problem causing these issues. I was told possibly the PCM. Maybe a wiring issue. Either way I would have thought the Chrysler Dealership could give me a more definitive answer on what to replace and where to begin . Can anyone offer some advice on where to begin???

    fine last driven, got in it and it rumbles and not shifting gears when in drive. Trans was replaced a while a back, there is fluid and it's fine. I'm thinking it's a problem with a sensor. Haven't had hoses or anything like that replaced. Chrysler Sebring 2002 convertible LXI 6 cylinder
