Differential Unit Problems of Chrysler Sebring

Problems with transmission on 1999 Chrysler convertible resulting in vehicle breaking down. The consumer stated the first indication of a problem was a loud mechanical bang from the vehicle, followed by a rapid lost of transmission fluid and smoke when the fluid struck the exhaust system. The vehicle was towed the nearest dealer. After the differential cover was removed, it was determined that the retaining pin for the spider gear had been ejected from its seat with enough force to puncture the adjacent cover of the transmission, which resulted in the fluid lost. The locking pin which held the larger retaining pin in place had sheared off as well.

While driving 60 mph, the consumer heard a thud coming from the vehicle. Two miles down the road the engine stalled on a bridge. The vehicle was towed to a garage and was examined by a mechanic. The mechanic found a hole in the transmission, caused by the differential and the keeper pin separating inside the transmission. The manufacturer and the dealer are aware of the problem.

At brothers graduation in lansing when the problem came up. Called home dealership who said it was too far away to do anything about. Had the car towed to the nearest dealer, where it took a month to get it fixed. Chrysler said they would only fix it and would do nothing else until it happened again. No safety defec tmentioned.
