i too own a 2001 Chrysler Sebring and have had nothing but troubles with it.The biggest problem with it is an oil valve clogs and oil sprays out of the oil cap onto the motor.I've had it looked at and was told that it was a manufacture defect and that there was no actual fix and then was told to research my cars motor.I then stumbled onto the complaints about the car that i to own.If my car ends up having a sludge build up and dies on me ,i will be screwed.I thought my problem was a little strange,but come to find out it might just be starting!!!!!!!

I GOT THIS CAR FROM MY DAD THE SECOND DAY I DROVE IT TO CHULA VISTA, (ON MY WAY TO BOWLING) I WAS AT THE LIGHT (A HALF A BLOCK BEFORE THE BOWLING ALLEY) AND I COULD SMELL OIL AND MY EYES WERE WATERING AND I LOOKED OUT THE PASSENGER WINDOW AND I COULD SEE SMOKE FROM THE BOTTOM AND COMING FORM THE HOOD. I WAS SCARED, DROVE REALLY SLOW TO THE PARKING LOT AND CALLED MY DAD. HAD IT TOWED TO A SHOP BY MY HOUSE. WHEN THE CAR WAS ON THE JACKS I COULD SEE OIL WAS CAKED EVERY WHERE UNDER THAT CAR. GOT IT FIXED AND I WAS LOVING IT DRIVING WITH THE TOP DOWN IN THE SUMMER BY THE BEACH UNTIL.....
