Engine Burning Oil Problems of Chrysler Sebring

Oil light comes on a lot, especially when stopped, car smells badly of oil burning and smokes a lot, scary when driving, also air and heat only work on high very annoying I would never buy a Chrysler again.

This was a properly maintained vehicle which had sudden engine failure at just over 55,000 miles. The oil pressure light flashed on and within seconds, the engine began to lose power. Like many other registered complaints (on this site and other sites), investigation revealed oil sludge and excess oil burnoff which led to catastrophic engine failure. I was quoted a minimum of $3500 for engine replacement, though research suggests that the engine for the vehicle is flawed (though Chrysler has apparently refused to address ongoing issues with oil sludge and engine failure).

Smoking (oil burning everywhere) oil pressure switch failed Apr. 07. Had major tune up done in Aug. 07. Then had battery trouble car died had towed to shop, mec. Checked battery and recharged it said to replace it soon, then the next day heard a ticking noise and a big clunk on my way to work but went to the shop instead they found intermix through-out, head gasket failure.

Approximately 2 years ago, I had my oil pan gasket replaced (at the advice of the Chrysler dealership in fredericksburg, va). When the oil pan was removed, there was sludge at the bottom of it (which was cleaned out). The new gasket and pan were replaced (which seemed to fix any problems my car was having). Now, my car is burning oil and coolant and stalls when I slow down. My spark plugs were replaced yesterday and everything seemed okay as it sat idling in the driveway; however, this morning, my car stalled while I was turning through a busy intersection! I have the 2. 7l engine and am concerned that my car falls into the same category as the rest of the 2. 7l engines (that have sludge build-up from coolant getting into the engine oil). I don't want my engine to seize up before I can afford to purchase a replacement (which will not be another Chrysler) since I can blatantly read that no one is getting any satisfaction out of Chrysler in replacing their faulty engines. I'm sending this as a preventable measure.

While driving, consumer smelled oil burning which seemed to be coming from the engine, vehicle was serviced and technician noticed that engine head gasket needed to be replaced. . Consumer stated oil was leaking from the head gasket.
