Chrysler Recalling Sebring, Avenger

ARTICLE TOOLS        | E-MailPrint

WASHINGTON, D.C. --- Chrysler is recalling more than 212,000 Chrysler Sebring and Dodge Avenger cars to correct an electrical problem that could lead to engine stalling and other issues.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said the recall affects 2007-2008 Sebrings and Avengers with standard tire pressure monitoring systems.

According to the NHTSA, unused electrical connectors for the monitoring system could become corroded and short circuit. This, in turn, could lead to problems starting the engine, a dead battery, a faulty cruise control or engine stalling.

There have been no reported accidents or injuries linked to the problem, though.

However, doing so ignores the other “hidden” costs of personal use, which have also risen.

Fleet Becomes an Epicenter for Interdepartmental Encroachment

By Mike Antich
Interdepartmental conflicts are common in the medical and IT industries, and at most companies between sales and operations. However, for many years, fleet existed as a realm of its own. Management in other departments often didn’t fully understand the nuances of fleet management other than they got a new vehicle every 36 months. Fleet managers of that era (not that long ago) were the “kings” and “queens” of their own realms. However, that reality is rapidly changing.
