Two problems related to loud engine noise have been reported for the 2004 Chrysler Sebring. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Driving our car in chicago and we live in ohio. Stop at a light and the car starts making this loud noise. Get the car to my sisters (thankfully). Had to rent a trailer to get the car home. Brought it to the mechanic who said the engine failed due to sludge. Oil was changed 3 days before. Engine could not be rebuilt. Contacted Chrysler and they told me there was nothing they could do. This is a faulty engine and Chrysler should stand behind there product.
2004 Chrysler Sebring touring 20000 miles. When car is stopped with foot on brake car jumps forward for no reason like some one had put their foot on the gas this has happen couple times took it to the dealer. He found a service bulletin and was going to do it when I take it back. But after reading it seems like there is a lot of people with this problem there should be recall before some one is killed!!!! also when in traction control it makes a terrible noise like the brakes grinding on the rotors when the wheels are spinning dealer not sure what is wrong and is going to look into it.
