2001 Chrysler Sebring LXI - 89,000 miles Was going down the highway, when my car basically put itself into neutral and I coasted to a stop. The car would then just rev the motor if you hit the gas, no matter what gear it was in. Took it to a repair shop and had the transmission replaced. The transmission worked beautifully, better then it had before. Two weeks(and $2,000.00) later I inadvertantly left my door cracked, which led to a dead battery. I had someone "jump" me, all cables were correctly placed on the batter. Now, the car shifts fine twice, then at about 35-45 mph it lurches forward, then shifts again, and is fine after that point. There is no clunk when I slow down. Took it back to the transmission place, and they hooked it up to computer and it produced no codes. They then told me to drive it around and in 35-40 stops/starts it will fix itself. I have done the 35-40 stops/starts and nothing has changed. Any ideas as to what happened? Or what I can do to fix this?

Replying to: djdrummernick (Jun 18, 2009 11:43 am) I took it to another shop, and they said the same thing. Like I said, it ran great until I left the door open and the battery went dead. So I have no idea why this problem would start occurring right after this. |

I have been reading about the transmission problems with the Sebring Lxi, I have one I just bought for my son, who just graduated from HS. He ended up with my 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT sport shift (125,000 mi) and I with the 2001 Sebring Lxi (71,000mi) fully automatic. I am having trouble with both cars feeling like they are shifting into neutral. Its quite scary when you are on a two lane mountain pass road and you are trying to pass another car. Both cars feel like they go into neutral and both lurch significantly when they finally catch (no noise except sound of you pushing on the gas and going nowhere). Also, the tachometer goes whacky when this happens on both cars. Both cars are doing the same thing. both have the same motor 3.0 V6. I have, as suggested had both cars transmissions flushed and still no help. Other than the paint (both black cars) and the transmission problems, I really like the cars, but I am a single woman with not a lot of money so I can't afford to keep chasing the problem and not have it fixed the first time. Please let me know if you have fixed the problem with your car Sebring or Eclispe, and how much $ I am looking at. |

Replying to: phoenix4480 (Jun 18, 2009 11:37 am) I can't afford $2,000 for each car, and then to not have it fix the problem. The Eclipse would not shift once as well. I stoped at the mailbox on the way home. I had turned off the car and restarted it within two minutes, and the car would not shift, in reverse or drive. I even tried the sport shift and it wouldn't work. I called my mechanic, but the car has not done this since. Both cars have had the transmissions flushed, but it has not helped. Now what? |
