Chryslers are known for their terrible transmissions, but this is our second Chrysler Sebring in this year range (same engine/trans models), both with the same issue. When shifting from or thru neutral, (eg. Reverse to drive), the transmission shifts so hard that it can lift the engine and snap a mount. This causes the car to make knocking noises when shifting (any gear), and causes the car to lurch in and out of gear, neutral, and park.
