The contact owns a 1996 Chrysler Sebring. While driving at an unknown speed, the engine warning light illuminated on the instrument control panel. The vehicle then immediately stalled. Several minutes later, the vehicle restarted. The dealer replaced the cam shaft sensor and the battery. The vehicle failed an emissions test due to smog. The dealer reprogrammed the PCM. On February 21, 2008, the vehicle had a second emissions test and failed again due to smog. The failure mileage was 167,000 and current mileage was 204,083.

problem #2

Sebring

  • Automatic transmission
  • 28,000 miles
On the engine I had the pulley on the timing belt come apart and just last month I had the head gasket start to leak from the back. Timing belt 28,000 head gasket 37,500. I have had to replace all 4 tires that where on the car. All by 29,000 miles--some earlier and then later. The brakes were replaces at the same time as the timing belt pulley. I knew they needed replacement and had an appointment to get them replaced when the timeing belt went out. It is a 1996 but I only have 37,500 miles.
