Re: Chrysler 2.7L Engine Problems

I just bought a 2006 Chrysler Sebring with the 2.7L engine and 134k. I had it for less than two weeks when apparently it overheated with no temp gauge indication or signs whatsoever. I shut it off because it started acting sluggish. Then it wouldn't start- maybe a "too hot" sensor? Turns out there was a hairline crack in the thermostat housing that leaked coolant when it heated up. Now I'm looking at a possible spun bearing and or some other internal repair. Still runs but makes awful noise above 35mph. Mechanic says new engine needed at $6K!! Probably just tear it apart and fix it myself. No regret here
