You are in the Chrysler Sebring Forum. Your Host is claires
I have a 2001 Chysler Sebring with 34500 miles on it. Has anybody experienced a loud humming noise coming from what seams like the transmission? Everything else indicates that the car is OK (gas mileage, temperature, ride, indicator lights, etc.)I just can't get over how loud the humming noise is. If anybody else has had the same problem, I sure would like to know what it is.

Replying to: whit4 (Oct 29, 2002 10:17 am) I just bought an '06 Base sedan (4cyl) and it is awfully loud! Seems like a Geo Metro when it starts! I pull up somehwere and people look at me like I drive a pile of junk..the car has 16,000m miles! Any ideas of the LOUD 4 banger on this car? I too have noticed a slight humming.  JH |

I have a 1997 Chrysler Sebring with an automatic transmission. My problem is that it will shift from first gear, but afterwards it seems as if it is stuck or something. It just won't shift anymore. It has a little under 87,000 miles. No-one can seem to pinpoint the problem. Does anyone have that problem? Also, can anyone tell me what is a tramission speed sensor

| I have a dodge stratus that developed the same problem and it was the speed sensor. The mechanic explained that the speed sensor signals the transmission when to shift and at what RPM. It remembers the way a person drives and shifts based on repetitive history. When it ceases to function the main computer puts the car in "limp home mode" which allows the the car to drive in first or second gear but will not allow it to shift into other gears. It should be a relativley cheap part to replace. Mine was around $30 and only took about 30 minutes to replace. | |
| THE PROBLEM WITH MY CHRYSER SEBRING IS THE TRANSMISSINON SPEED SENSOR, I WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE KNOWS WHAT IT IS AND WHERE IS IT LOCATED? | |

Problems with our 2002 Sebring LXi Sedan w/Autostick 4speed & ~18k well maintained miles on it. The dealer's so-called "transmission expert" says the car is in perfect condition... please tell me if this sounds like its in perfect condition: 1. When coming to a stop at a stop sign/light when the car hits 10mph the transmission makes a big clunk sound and the whole car shakes... similarly to slamming on the brakes very quickly. It seems to happen on the 2nd to 1st shift. This happens about %90 of the time. 2. When accelerating from a stop, sometimes the RPM's start climbing but the car doesn't move... then you hear a big CLUNK, and off we go. 3. Probably the most dangerous... when on the freeway, should we decide to pass someone, it is up to our car to decide if it wants to accelerate or not. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes the RPMs go up, but the trans does not downshift. Sometimes it downshifts, but doesn't seem to want to accelerate. Sometimes nothing at all happens... even with the pedal to the floor. Yesterday getting on the freeway, I floored it... nothing happened... just kept rolling. After ~10 seconds, it downshifted and took off the way it is supposed to... 10 seconds? Yep, I counted. Otherwise, this car is very nice. Very comfortable seats. Nice brakes. Anyone else have any similar problems? Im thinking it has something to do with the transmission ECU (perhaps a standard trans computer installed instead of the Autostick?) or a messed up torque converter.... Im not a transmission expert so I dont know... I am getting together the cash to build my own scanner to diagnose the car. -bryan

Replying to: mab8689 (May 11, 2005 9:43 am) My 2001 Limited Conv w/ 6cyl & autostick at 32k does # 1 & # 2 . Did anyone ever find a solution? from #67: Problems with our 2002 Sebring LXi Sedan w/Autostick 4speed & ~18k well maintained miles on it.

Replying to: bryangm (Jun 24, 2003 3:52 pm) I am going thru this now with my dealer. It really sucks. They have had my car for over two weeks. They have replaced the Power train control modules (2 times) and the transmission control module. It was covered under warranty other than a $100 deductible, and 15 days of car rental. I was supposed to pick it up tonight but after two weeks of waiting, they forgot to re-connect the odometer, so back it went. Good Luck |
