Hi, my buddy has a 2001 Chrysler Sebring, auto transmission, six cylinder 3 liter engine w/ 58,000 miles. It is well maintained and always serviced according to schedule. YHesterday, 58,000 miles, the auto transmission fails (car stops moving) and it is towed to a Chrysler dealer who tells him the transmission needs to be replaced at a cost of $7,000.00. This a well maintained car w/ 58k miles. The car was never abused or driven hard. What can explain a transmission failure a 58K miles?
Anything the guy can do to save a few bucks on the repair? Is there a transmission recall for this car?
Thanks,
Mike
