Two problems related to engine exhaust system have been reported for the 2004 Chrysler Sebring. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I smelled a burning smell the engine light came on so I brought it to my mechanic and he found a lot of stress cracks in the oil pan which is alumimum told me I was lucky the engine didn't seize or ceatch on fire the exhaust pie is under one of the cracks and as the car got hot that crack expanded. There are several more in the pan. This is a safety issue.
Bought a used 2004 Chrysler Sebring touring. Noticed 1000kms later that the engine sounded rough. Saw the oil was black. Took the car for an oil change. Car was fine for awhile. About 1000km later problems arose. Yet another oil change was need for black oil. This continued for months. I was just about to make the switch to synthetic oil when my car gave out on me. Mechanic said he thought exhaust was getting into the engine b/c of poor internals, said his cousin had the same problem. P. S. Car gave out on the 401 thank god it was 1 am!.
