Our 2002 Chrysler Sebring's engine failed at an off ramp of a highway. The car had to be towed. The car started to smoke after it was driven from the garage that it was towed to. The engine needs replaced.

2001 v-6 2. 7 engine failure with 37,900 miles. Dealer states the engine failed due to oil sludge buildup dispite oil changes at every 6,000 miles. Their is a design flaw with this engine restricting oil flow to vital engine parts. I have found hundreds of similar claims on the internet. We need your help to force Chrysler to recall or compensate the owners of this defective engine. I tried to get Chrysler to help but all I get is stone wallled and fustrated.

I have a 2001 Chrysler Sebring with the 2. 7 liter v6 engine. It has recently experienced engine problems up to and will probably include complete engine failure from oil sludging in the engine. The oil was changed every 5000 miles and we have documentation of these oil changes. The car only has 29500 miles right now. I contacted Chrysler and they said that they can not warrant the product because it is out of their warranty period. They even went as far as to say that even if it is a manufacturing defect they can't be held responsible because the car is out of warranty. So basically I am just reporting to you my complaint. I know you probably have received hundreds of other complaints regarding this same issue with this engine. Please urge Chrysler to extend their warranties or offer a recall. I have never heard of an engine failing because of oil sludge with only 29500 miles on it. Thanks, joe raguse.

While driving the engine failed without warning. The cause has yet to be determined. Please provide additional information.

2002 Chrysler Sebring engine failed. Diagnosed as excessive oil sludge. Extended warranty and dealer denied claim due to inadequate oil changes. I bought car used in July, 2003. What happened: the car stopped after a loud tapping noise in the engine. I was driving in rush hour traffic when the car stopped in the middle of the street. I sent complaint letter sent to Chrysler's ceo on 9/22/04.

2001 Chrysler Sebring lxi 2. 7l v6. Vehicle purchased April 2002 as certified 8/80. Loud knocking from engine. Engine siezed up on freeway and died. Dealer found timing chains broken, thew a rod, engine failure due to oil sludge build up. Chrysler refused to cover under warranty claiming lack of owner maint. Records. Had engine replaced for $7500. 00.

Premature engine failure due to sludge. While driving, the vehicle just all of a sudden stop running, there were no warning lights.

Oil was changed every 3000 miles. No warning lights or any type of warning when my engine failed after only 43,000 miles. It is a 2001 Chrysler Sebring sedan. After researching I found that these engines 2. 7 liter found in the Sebring and intrepid are prone to sludge and premature failure. My warranty was up at 36,000 miles and I am going back and forth trying to get some help with these repairs consisting of $4988. 45. A new engine should not be needed in a vehicle with 43,000 miles. (and I am not the only one) I have spoken to 5 different mechanics and they are all aware of these engine problems. I was stranded 150 miles from home, it was graduation wk-end so no hotel rooms and no rental cars available. I was outside of kirksville mo. And had to ride with a stranger to get to somewhere that I could phone since my cell phone was out of raduis.

Engine failure due to oil starvation. Oil was changed regularly in the car, but dealer fould excessive oil sludging in engine. The 2. 7l v6 engine had 43,000 miles on it. Search for information on 2. 7l v6 engine indicated that this is a common occurance due to what several engine experts have stated is due to internal oil passages that are too narrow for engine oil to properly circulate causing the oil to "cook" inside the engine. Received reports of this occurring as early as 35,000 miles with the average failure at 50,000 miles. Chrysler failed to respond to problem and denied 8/80 warranty coverage for the engine repairs.

While driving 70 mph, lost power to accelerator and engine died. Had no prior warning. Also, owner's manual states if engine fails there is supposed to be a chime, however there was no chime. Consumer contacted dealer.
