#11 of 40 2.7 Has Oil Distribution Problems by observer22 Sep 28, 2008 (10:43 pm)
Until it was evidently massively improved within the past couple of years or so, the 2.7 needed synthetic motor oil. THe 2.7 had well-known oil distribution problems and any car with that engine should be avoided. Since the Sebring/Avenger sedans are sales flops, it will be interesting to see how quickly the now privately owned Chrysler will redesign and improve them.

#12 of 40 Engine knocking by esw52892 Oct 02, 2008 (4:52 pm)
i have a chrysler sebring, 2000 JXI convertable.160,000 miles. The engine has knocked a little for a couple monthes. but then i tried plus gasoline instead of regular. the engine light came on a day after and the knocking got worse, its now somewhat noticable, especially when i speed up. Do you think that the gas is linked to this?

Replying to: biggypiggy1985 (Feb 07, 2008 4:19 pm) I believe that the transmission flush was due and also the spark plugs, and with the engine, that sounds odd. But those things happen in many cars. my aunt had a lexus and it did the same thing, the engine blew. My siters car also did that before, but it was a toyota. I know that a 2.4 engine is known to be to weak for those cars. Poor maintence from the previouse owners could have cause it also. i have a six cylinder of the same car, but it has 160,000 miles, ive not had the first problem until recently with the engine knocking.
#14 of 40 2.4 woes by 41coupe4me Oct 04, 2008 (2:24 pm)
The 2.4 engines are very weak in the power department but that won't cause mechanical failure. I am unsure if the 2.4s have oiling problems as other Dodge/Chrysler engines have but your situation could be caused by one of these timing belt failure,dropped valve or connecting rod/crankshaft failure from oil pump failure. In any case I would recomend a remanufactured engine from an independant engine rebuilder. Replies to this message: esw52892 (Feb 26, 2009 5:04 pm)

Replying to: biggypiggy1985 (Feb 07, 2008 4:19 pm) i am having the same kind of problems but it is the front main seal that has blown on mine. Same year & engine as yours & no this should not happen. My car has only 42,000 miles on it. I had to have the front of my car painted in 2006 with the car not being 1 year old yet because of rust under the paint. Chrysler should be ashamed of making such poor quality vehicles. The 2.4L 4 cylinder motor has to be one of the poorest made motors with them going out at such low mileage. The 36,000 mile warranties are great for the chrysler dealers when the cars that are breaking down are right above 40,000 miles. I am calling Chrysler Corporate office tomorrow to let them know & advertise what a raw deal everyone is getting on these Friday or Monday made cars. Friday - employees rushing to go home & just might not care about quality of what they are doing thus ends up to be cars like you & I have. Monday - 1st day back on the job after the weekend & careless habits from weekend laziness hasn't worn off yet. I am very mad about the whole situation as well & feel as though I have been taken full advantage of.

Replying to: capt1014 (Aug 05, 2008 11:54 am) I'm with you. I owned a 2001 Chrysler Sebring Convertible V-6 engine. Engine siezed at 91,000 miles in 2005. Chrysler told me it was my problem. Never got a diagnosis because they said it would cost more to take it apart than replace it. Currenly own a Toyota Solara.
#17 of 40 SEBRING RECALLS by peodigy Jan 26, 2009 (10:14 am)
I found this site while researching the MANY problems with my 2007, On Edmonds, as well as several other sites, there are no less than SEVEN recalls listed and all for the same problems I have been experiencing, Chrysler denies ANY, I want to know how these sites can 'site' these problems and recalls and then have the manuf, deny they exist. No one can answer that question - nor have I found any help in getting the electrical and engine problems addressed. ANY HELP WOULD BE WELCOMED!

Replying to: peodigy (Jan 26, 2009 10:14 am) Have you tried printing out the recall notices and bringing them to the dealer? Replies to this message: peodigy (Jan 26, 2009 12:52 pm)

Replying to: claires (Jan 26, 2009 12:43 pm) Yes, I have a folder full of them. The diagnostic(s) show nothing. But car continues to shut off, Also, had problem with radiator and diagnostic showed nothing - until there was a crack in the radiator and whole thing had to be replaced! Just looking for others who have encountered these problems and want to know how can sites this like one list recalls, complete with numbers and Chrysler dispute it. I have contacted an attyl, local TV action news and state senator - all to no avail. Thanks
