My engine overheated due to a water pump leak. The temperature gauge remained in the normal operating range during my trip which was about 30 miles of mostly highway driving. I had no indication that anything was wrong with my car until it shut off at a stop light.

2006 chrysler sebring. Consumer writes in regards to oil leak in vehicle engine area. *smd the consumer stated the water pump and timing belt were replaced on january 27, 2015 after which, an oil leak developed. After two crankshaft oil seal replacements the consumer was informed the problem appeared serious enough to contact chrysler about a further diagnosis. The consumer was able to identify a problem which resulted in a technical service bulletin identifying the problem as crankshaft end play resulting in oil seal performance and leakage. The recommended action was to install a second thrust bearing to eliminate crankshaft vibration/movement. *jb updated 09/21/15*lj updated 12/06/2017

On july 21st I was heading home from work and the noise just occurred as soon as I was turning onto the ramp to get to the highway. I instantly took my car to firestone where I always take my car and they did a full inspection and realized that my bushing to my motor mount went out, my motor mount was shot and my motor mount bracket was shot. This issue is very unsafe and I contacted better business bureau, chrysler corporation, chrysler ceo and chairman, governor rick snyder, congressman bill huizenga, and attorney general's office. There should be a recall. This has been a long time without a car and no normal human being can afford spending 600 dollars a month for a rental car when it is not the consumers problem that chrysler doesn't make a part. Their needs to be a recall on this car. A motor mount should never go out on a car. They should be able to be found in a junk yard after a car has lasted its average life time. There needs to be recall nobody should be on a nationwide waiting list for this especially when now I am looking at having possible transmission problems later on down the road. Something needs to be done about this and I won't give up until something is.

I have a 2006 sebring with a 2.4l engine that has had the seals replaced twice and it still kept pouring oil. My original mechanic said there was nothing more he could do and the engine should be replaced. I was referred to anther mechanic by a friend who did a lot more work in trying to fnd out why they could not fix the oil leak. He found out that the 2005 and 2006 engines were missing a thrust bearing and so it kept pushing the crankshaft against the timing belt which pushed out the front seal. Chrysler fixed the design by adding a second thrust bearing with a new revision to the engine. After 8 weeks and $5500 of repair and rental builds, I have a new half block and it seems to be fxed. I think chrysler should have put out a recall on these motors since there was a design flaw fixed in the new version of the 2.4l engine and short block. It is not safe to be driving a car leaking oil nor fair for consumers to eat the cost of the repair when it was an engine design error. I am paying car payments on top of having to pay for a chrysler design flaw. Thanks for any info you can give.

I am having problems with my 2006 chyrsler sebring. It started in 2008 or 2009 when car ran hot on the interstate. I added coolant but it seems to evaporate or leak. I went into landers dodge for an oil change and upon inspecting the vehicle they found a leakage from what they say is called a coolant inlet tube which will cost me over $400 to repair. I feel that with my car being only 2 or 3 years old at the time should not be taking place. I have also found others that have the same vehicle to have the same problem or having to replace the transmission in 2006 chrysler sebrings. I would like to know how the situation can be looked into.
