2001 CHRYSLER SEBRING COUPE Engine And Engine Cooling Problems

I HAVE A 2001 CHRYSLER SEBRING COUPE. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE ON 11/15/2008. THE "CHECK ENGINE SOON" LIGHT CAME ON 3 MONTHS LATER, ON 2/15/09 AND I GOT THE VEHICLE SERVICED AT THE SHERIDAN FORD DEALERSHIP. THEY CLAIMED THERE WAS AN OIL LEAK THAT WAS LEAKING INTO MY ENGINE, AND WERE GOING TO FIX THAT. THEN, 4 DAYS LATER (I DROVE THE VEHICLE TWICE), THE CAR BROKE DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF A HIGHWAY AND HAD TO BE TOWED. I WAS TOLD THE TRANSMISSION DIED DUE TO A RING THAT BROKE AND CLOGGED A PIPE WHICH CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION TO FAIL. ALSO, WHEN MY CAR WAS BEING FIXED, ANOTHER OIL LEAK WAS FOUND AND AN ANTIFREEZE LEAK HAD ALSO OCURRED. I HAVE ONLY HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 3 MONTHS AND FOR 1,455 MILES. I HAVE HAD TO BUT OVER $3100 WORTH OF WORK INTO IT ALREADY, GETTING A NEW TRANSMISSION...

THE CONSUMER WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE WHEN THE ENGINE STALLED ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED AND IS NOW AT THE DEALERS. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THERE WAS A SLUG BUILD UP ON THE ROD AND IN THE OIL PAN. THE VEHICLE HAD AN OVERHEATING PROBLEM PRIOR TO THIS OCCURRENCE, WHEN THE CAR WAS IN IDLE THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT WARM, ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING IT WARMED UP. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE'S WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED AS WELL AS THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. *JB
