Description of the problem	My 2002 chrysler sebring's engine seized up when i was driving down the road one night to take my husband to work. I had it towed to my dealer just to find out that i was 32 miles out of my extended warranty and that i had apparently not changed my oil and that caused my engine to lock up. When my engine locked up i had floored it to go around a slow-moving semi on a little 2 lane highway. The engine started making a terrible knocking sound and i noticed that even though i was pushing down on my gas pedal, the rpms were going down instead of up. I finally got back into the right hand lane and my car sort of wobbled a couple times. It kept losing speed and when we stopped at a stop light the engine died and would not restart. Now i am stuck with a $5500+ repair bill only to find out that this engine was and has been defective since day one. I want chrysler to pay for my engine and all my heartache.
