Loud Engine Noise Problems of Chrysler Sebring

Was driving home from a local store. Was at a traffic light, light turned green, I applied gas, car stalled ( was almost rear-ended). Was able to get the car started, but now a loud noise is coming from the front end, and when I go to apply gas, the car wants to stall out. Was able to coast downhill and pull onto a residential street and drive at 5 mph and get car into my driveway. That week, while waiting for my new extended warranty papers to come in, left car in driveway, tried starting it but noise still there, so let the car sit. Had car towed to dealership, opened engine, was told car needs a new engine. Nothing has been done, because warranty company will not replace engine. Had to pay for a new battery to be installed since when I left car sitting in driveway, the battery died. To open the engine up for the warranty company to show that I maintained engine also cost around 400. 00. Since November, my car with my handicap plates on it sits at the dealership. I see that their is a class action lawsuit going on for the 2. 75 liter v6 engine put in these cars by Chrysler, but this is a serious condition, I was just lucky I wasn't rear-ended and it didn't happen on the highway with my child in the car.

In June of 2005, my 2001 Chrysler Sebring convertible engine start making this loud noise like a rod was going to go. I turned it off had the car taken to a local dealer and they said I had sludge in the engine. When I asked for the service manager to explain sludge to me about me not changing my oil and not properly having the car serviced. It was at that time I had the car towed back to my house, where it has been sitting. On February 6th I went to my attorneys office and he sent Chrysler a letter(certified) that I want them to fix my car and/or we will be filing a class action case in the franklin county of ohio courts against them. I have contacted Chrysler personally and they all but said I caused the problem. After having talked with some mechanics and looking at the inter-net I now know this was not an isolated case.
