Three problems related to crankcase (pcv) have been reported for the 2001 Chrysler Sebring. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The 2001 Chrysler Sebring with the 2. 7l engine burnt out. It has 55,000 miles on it. The first problem was with the oil light coming on. I took it to kasing Dodge in hermitage PA. And they said that it was a wire and fixed it for almost 200 dollars. A week later the engine made noise that sounded like it would explode. I had to towed to kading Dodge again and they said that the crankcase bearing broke from oil starvation. They said that it would be over 4000 dollars to put a new engine in. What they did instead was a fix of the broken bearing which cost me another 250 dollars and told me that may work for awhile but they would not guarantee that work. Well it did not work. Why did they only do same jobs that cost me money when they all know that Chrysler is having a possible class action lawsuit against them for this very engine?.
Driving on the highway at 55 mph, the engine stop without warning. After the engine stopped the temp indicator went on. Towed to dealership where I was informed that the water pump broke, coolants entered the crankcase and the engine was destroyed. The car had only 59,000 miles on it. Chrysler refused to help or repar. Quoted new engine price at $9500. Chryslers customer service is non existant.
After I received a tune up of my vehicle, it started a problem. After my car has been running for about 20 min, the engine starts to almost die out, then come back to life. This is w/o using ac or heat. However, if I use my a/c or heat, it becomes much worse. In both situations, w/or w/o ac & heat, the problem became so bad my car died out. The dealer doesn't know what's wrong with my car, and claimed it did not do this to them when they had it in their possession. I myself, have changed the air filter, got an oil change, changed my trans fluid, pcv valve, & put in fuel injector cleaner. The problem has not stopped. When I took my car to murrays auto parts, they did a diagnostic test, giving it the code p1391 misfire code. I called the dealer to find out this code, nobody had any idea what it meant. Every time I have spoken with the dealer, they deny they had anything to do with it, and put me off like I don't know what im talking about. I just want my car fixed.
