Description of the problem	These are safety/defect issues regarding my 2002 chrysler sebring engine: i have a 2. 7 liter v6 engine and i have recently read about common problems after experiencing a knock in the engine. Just today, i had a mechanic listen to the engine noise and he speculates that it is a rod or rod bearing. This appears to be a symptom of the sludge problem that your web site has documented. I have not yet confronted a chrysler maintenance rep and would be interested in tactics that have been documented as successful. I have been somewhat regular about oil changes, but i am not the original owner, so would have a problem proving the maintenance intervals. Steering: last summer i first experienced a problem with the steering tightening. Basically the general feel of the steering was tight and it would not return to a 'home' position after turning. A mechanic estimated that it would take $1500 to replace the rack assembly and the power steering pump. On a hunch, i had the power steering fluid replaced and within a week the steering returned to normal. Around oct/nov, the symptoms returned and i had another power steering fluid replacement. This time the symptoms have been intermittent and have not completely disappeared. I have read a few complaints on the internet of other sebring owners having similar problems. *jb
