Three problems related to engine oil leaking have been reported for the 2002 Chrysler Sebring. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I regularly maintain the oil in my car, yet the oil seems to disappear. I add oil in between changes and the technicians at the oil change have never seen any leaks. I continued to drive and noticed a knock in the engine. I checked the oil, and it was low. I was not due for a change, so I put oil in the engine. The knock continued until one day it became an awful sound, and shut off. I had the car towed back to my house where it has sat for a month. I had a mechanic diagnose ,y car and he said it was a rod, and that I needed a new engine. I have noticed where several people have had problems with the Chrysler 2. 7 valve engine. I do not feel that this is my problem, especially if Chrysler has a faulty product.
Driving on the morning of August 6, 2007 and my car's oil came on, which it has in the past and nothing could be found wrong. A few miles down the road my car's engine began to knock and smoke. When I opened the engine the car was completely out of oil. And there was no leak. When I got the car to a local dealership I was told that my engine was gone.
The contact owns a 2002 Chrysler Sebring convertible. While driving 50 mph the vehicle suddenly decelerated and shut off. The contact waited five minutes, and was able to restart the vehicle. Approximately ten minutes later the vehicle shut off again without warning. The contact opened the hood, and noticed oil and antifreeze leaking throughout the engine. The mechanic stated that fluids backed up into the engine. The roads were wet due to rain, however there was no water found in the engine. The mechanic stated that the engine needed to be replaced. No additional failures have occurred. The current and failure mileages were 95,000.
