Six problems related to engine noise have been reported for the 2001 Chrysler Sebring. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Car started making engine noise so it was pulled over and then would not restart. I was told by my mechanic it needs a new engine.
Light tapping from engine turned into very loud knocking. Vehicle is still running, but engine sounds like it will come apart even at idle speed. Oil and filter changed at a service center the week prior.
I have a 2001 Chrysler Sebring that stopped running on the express way and come to find out it was my motor that had failed. The only thing that happened prior to the engine blowing was a slight noise and then it quit. I changed my oil every 3000 miles like recommended but obviously that didn't matter. I've replaced my whole engine with a rebuilt one but I'm extremely disappointed in Chrysler.
