Consumer Description

2004 CHRYSLER SEBRING CONVERTIBLE WITH 2.7L, 6 CYL ENGINE. ENGINE SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY IN MICHIGAN; WHEN I OPENED THE HOOD, THE RADIATOR WAS STEAMING/BOILING. NO WARNING, NO "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHTS, NO OIL PRESSURE OR TEMPERATURE WARNINGS. HAD CAR TOWED TO MICHIGAN DEALER, THEY COULDN'T GET THE ENGINE TO MOVE; SAID I NEEDED ENGINE REPLACEMENT. CHRYSLER WOULDN'T HONOR ANY WARRANTIES BECAUSE CAR WAS JUST OVER 70K MILES (WARRANTY TO 70K). ALSO, DEALER I TOWED THE CAR TO HAD JUST LOST THEIR CHRYSLER FRANCHISE 3 DAYS EARLIER AS DID THE DEALER I HAD PURCHASED THE CAR FROM; CHRYSLER SAID THEY WOULDN'T EVEN TALK TO THESE DEALERS ANYMORE ABOUT THE CAR, I WAS ON MY OWN. I FOUND NUMEROUS WEBSITES SHOWING COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ENGINE THAT WERE EXACTLY LIKE MINE. THERE'S BEEN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FILED IN NJ REGARDING THIS ENGINE FAILURE BUT I HAVEN'T FOUND ONE THAT I CAN PARTICIPATE IN YET. I SURRENDERED THE CAR TO CHRYSLER AS I WASN'T READY TO PAY OVER $8000 FOR A NEW ENGINE (MORE THAN THE CAR WAS WORTH). *TR
