Have a 2007 chrysler sebring. Yesterday it wouldn't start. I received a jump from another car same thing. The radio and lights come one and it will act like it is starting just to stall. Oh and that lightning bolt is on. Plus the alarm light came on for some reason.

No there were no other drivers. And I did a google search and it said that is the electric throttle signal. I don't know what that is or if that easily fixable. But that is the !St time I saw that bolt.

Your gas pedal has no cable instead it is electric and the throttle body is too. Failure in those components triggers light to come on.

So this is the reason why it won't start? And just one more thing will this cost a lot to fix?

This may be too complex to diagnose over net. These newer cars have complex/quirky issues because of interactive computer controls. You could look for reasonable knowledgeable local mechanic on craigslist to help out.
