Consumer Description

CHRYSLERS ARE KNOWN FOR THEIR TERRIBLE TRANSMISSIONS, BUT THIS IS OUR SECOND CHRYSLER SEBRING IN THIS YEAR RANGE (SAME ENGINE/TRANS MODELS), BOTH WITH THE SAME ISSUE. WHEN SHIFTING FROM OR THRU NEUTRAL, (EG. REVERSE TO DRIVE), THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS SO HARD THAT IT CAN LIFT THE ENGINE AND SNAP A MOUNT. THIS CAUSES THE CAR TO MAKE KNOCKING NOISES WHEN SHIFTING (ANY GEAR), AND CAUSES THE CAR TO LURCH IN AND OUT OF GEAR, NEUTRAL, AND PARK.
