Problem overview

Some Chrysler Sebring owners report experiencing jerking and loud noises during acceleration and deceleration, which may indicate underlying transmission problems. These issues could stem from low or no transmission fluid, a common cause of transmission slipping that leads to jerking. Additionally, strange noises such as grinding, humming, or whining during gear shifts may suggest worn-out gears or damaged bearings. Many owners have noted various transmission issues, particularly with the A604 (41TE) and 6-speed 62TE transmissions. To prevent these problems, regular maintenance of the transmission is essential. It is recommended that owners have their transmission inspected by a qualified mechanic if they encounter these symptoms to accurately diagnose and resolve the issue.
