Engine Noise Problems of Chrysler Sebring

Car started making engine noise so it was pulled over and then would not restart. I was told by my mechanic it needs a new engine.

Light tapping from engine turned into very loud knocking. Vehicle is still running, but engine sounds like it will come apart even at idle speed. Oil and filter changed at a service center the week prior.

I have a 2001 Chrysler Sebring that stopped running on the express way and come to find out it was my motor that had failed. The only thing that happened prior to the engine blowing was a slight noise and then it quit. I changed my oil every 3000 miles like recommended but obviously that didn't matter. I've replaced my whole engine with a rebuilt one but I'm extremely disappointed in Chrysler.

- the contact owns a 2001 Chrysler Sebring convertible lxi, when coming to a stop, the oil light would illuminate. When accelerating the oil light turned off. The dealer stated that the failure was due to the sensor. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed the vehicle on 6 occasions due to engine noises. The dealer stated that the vehicle was operating normally. While driving 35 mph under normal road conditions the engine stalled. The contact was able to get the vehicle to the side of the road with without a crash. The contact called the manufacturer, whon stated that there was not a recall related to the failure. The current and failure mileage were 67,892.

Going to town about two miles from home when the engine made a noise and stopped. The engine would not recrank so had the car towed. Find out that the timing chain jumped time and ruin the engine. Have not repaired yet. Finding that the 2. 7 eng has a mutitude of problems.

These are safety/defect issues regarding my 2002 Chrysler Sebring engine: I have a 2. 7 liter v6 engine and I have recently read about common problems after experiencing a knock in the engine. Just today, I had a mechanic listen to the engine noise and he speculates that it is a rod or rod bearing. This appears to be a symptom of the sludge problem that your web site has documented. I have not yet confronted a Chrysler maintenance rep and would be interested in tactics that have been documented as successful. I have been somewhat regular about oil changes, but I am not the original owner, so would have a problem proving the maintenance intervals. Steering: last summer I first experienced a problem with the steering tightening. Basically the general feel of the steering was tight and it would not return to a 'home' position after turning. A mechanic estimated that it would take $1500 to replace the rack assembly and the power steering pump. On a hunch, I had the power steering fluid replaced and within a week the steering returned to normal. Around oct/Nov, the symptoms returned and I had another power steering fluid replacement. This time the symptoms have been intermittent and have not completely disappeared. I have read a few complaints on the internet of other Sebring owners having similar problems.

The contact stated there was an irregular engine snapping sound coming from underneath the hood. The contact first thought it was a nail in the tire, but upon inspection it was determined that there was no nail in the tire. The engine first started with the snapping sound, then vibrated when the vehicle was slowing down. The noise has been the same since it started. A certified mechanic inspected the vehicle, and found there was a service bulletin dealing with this problem. The consumer has contacted the manufacturer; they stated there was no recall.

Blown head gasket after only around 54,000 miles - mechanic said that the car shouldn't suffer from such problems at such a young age. Chrysler corporation notified but refused to help saying the car is out of warranty. In addition, the car suffers from significant engine noise when idling and the air conditioner just went out. While I understand that the car is out of warranty, I am very disapointed in the quality of Chrysler's product and the company's unwillingness to stand by their automobiles.
