2001 CHRYSLER SEBRING 4.7LITER ENGINE. HAD OIL CHANGED TWO WEEKS AGO. THE NEXT MORNING OIL WAS ALL OVER TOP OF ENGINE. RETURNED TO SHOP AND DETERMINED THAT OIL PRESSURE LOW. MAKING LOUD KNOCKING NOISE WHEN IDLE SOUNDS LIKE DIESEL ENGINE! MECHANIC STATED ENGINE FIXING TO GO.IT HAS ONLY 92,000 MILES. UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS A DESIGN ISSUE WITH ENGINE AND HAS STILL NOT BEEN RECALL. CHRYSLER IS WELL AWARE OF THIS CONTINUOUS ISSUE AND ASSUME THEY FEEL ITS THE CONSUMERS PROBLEM NOW SINCE YOU PURCHASED IT. WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER VEHICLE FROM CHRYSLER. *TR

WHILE DRIVING TO ON THE INTERSTATE I HEAR A LOUD KNOCKING SOUND ALSO IT SOUNDS AS IF SOMETHING HAD POPPED A LOSE THE ENGINE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. MY CAR WAS TOWED TO POMOCO CHRYSLER. I WAS TOLD THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. COST: $4,500. *TR

CHRYSLER 2.7 LITER ENGINE COMPLAINT. 2001 SEBRING LXI. 77,000 MILES. DIDN'T PASS INSPECTION. EMISSIONS AND VISIBLE SMOKE COMING FROM THE TAILPIPE. JUST HAD THE CAR CHECKED AND WAS ADVISED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDS A LOT OF WORK. ADVISED THAT THE 2.7 ENGINE HAS HAD MANY PROBLEMS. MANY PEOPLE HAVE FILED COMPLAINTS.
