| 2005 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING | I PURCHASED A 2005 CHRYSLER SEBRING IN 2006 WITH APPROX. 25K MILES ON IT, 1 YR. LATER IT STARTED LEAKING OIL BADLY. IT WAS FOUND THAT THE FRONT SEAL ON THE CRANKSHAFT WAS PUSHED OUT. THE GARAGE THROUGH THERE RESOURCES FOUND FOUND THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE 4 CYL. THAT CHRYSLER KNEW ABOUT AND EVEN KNEW THE SERIAL NUMBERS OF THE BEGINNING AND THE END OF THE DEFECT THAT HAD BEEN MACHINED IN THERE ENGINE BLOCKS. THIS DEFECT ALLOWS THE CRANKSHAFT TO FLOAT BACK AND FORTH LENGTH WISE AND PUSH THE SEAL OUT. THEY HAVE NOT DONE A RECALL FOR THIS AND REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THE FIX FOR THIS DEFECT IS A NEW SHORT BLOCK THAT IS OVER $4K TO BE DONE. THE OIL LEAKS SO BAD THAT IT SOAKS THE UNDERCARRIAGE AND REAR OF THE CAR AND COULD CAUSE A FIRE BY THE EXHAUST BEING COVERED WITH OIL. *TR |
