2001 Chrysler Sebring
My son bought a used Sebring with 100,000 miles three months ago. He tells
me that when he tries to accelerate (25 mph to 35 mph) the engine whines but the car does not gain much speed. The transmission is filled with fluid. Assuming the transmission is failing and we can't afford to buy another car, what are my likely options? Any ideas what a re-built transmission for this car would cost? Thanks! |

2001 Chrysler Sebring
....thanks! I've seen Sebrings and other similar cars do 160,000 miles, so I
too think it is worth fixing. The rest of the car is solid. My other son did over 160,000 on one of his 4 cyl. used cars. I've seen internet posts that say the Sebring transmission is prone to an electrical problem and some transmission control problems. I'll post the final verdict.

No doubt the same input and output sensor failures that occasionally happen (at the rate of about one every 50 to 100k miles) on all the Chrysler electronic trannies. The sensors cost under $20 each and take about 15 minutes to replace. Bill Putney (To reply by e-mail, replace the last letter of the alphabet in my address with the letter 'x') |
