I realize that the heater draws the airflow from where the engine sits. But,me and my mechanic freinds can't detect any leaks,but I do smell gasoline near the lines. Anyone have that problem?

To reset your check engine light disconnect the NEGATIVE battery cable. Leave it off for about 5 to 10 minutes then reconnect the cable. It may take a couple of trys for the car to start and it may run a little rough for a minute or two while the computer resets but your light will be off.

If you mean the windshield gasket, that's pretty easy---just try some LATEX black caulk. It washes off with water (before it sets) and you can apply it neatly with your wet finger. If you mean the "squeegee" gasket on the side windows--that could be trickier. Generally they slide off and shouldn't cost very much to replace.

2001 Chrysler Sebring A/C Problem
Written by: kybondgirl on Aug 17, 2005 10:14:17 AM
Just wondering if anyone had any ideas of what could be causing my A/C to not work. I had my boyfriend check the freon and it seems to be full. He also checked my coolant level and while it wasn't full, he said it wasn't low enough to be causing the A/C to not work. The blower works fine, but it is blowing warm air instead of cold. It sometimes works ... Read More

2001 Chrysler Sebring LXi ... brake light?
Written by: kvetchingedito on Aug 3, 2005 9:19:12 PM
I purchased this car in late March, and it had only had one owner -- a late-middle aged couple. There was about 62,000 miles on it and I bought the extended warranty and will probably be paying it off for ages. I did buy it from a dealership, though. During the initial checkup for the used-car inspection, they failed to fix the clicking in the steering wheel. It was something I'd ... Read More

Greetings, I have the same problems with my air bag light and the blower motor resistor. I got the fan thing fixed, cost about $65 for labor and the part. Does anyone know that if I am involved in an accident, will my air bag go off while the light is on? I am wondering if the airbag will function properly. Also I am worried about the air bag going off ... Read More
P1400 code on Chyrsler Sebring
Written by: bigdogvt on Jul 6, 2005 8:18:58 AM
I have a 2001 Chrysler Sebring and a couple of weeks ago my service engine soon light came on. I went to Advance Auto and they scanned it for me and got a P1400 code to show up. I had a friend at Goodyear look that code up and it said it could be a Manifold Differential Pressure Sensor failure or Engine Control Module/Powertrain Control Module failure. The other day the ...

2001 Chrysler Sebring LXi Engine Light
Written by: trac82 on May 15, 2005 6:53:07 PM
Hi - My service engine light is on and I didn't get a manual with my car. Could someone please tell me how to reset this? Thanks!
I have had the same leaking problem as you described. I own a 2004 Sebring convertible purchased at the end of August last year and garage kept during the winter months. Not too much use there. I saw a little dampness in the October timeframe but thought that may have been from not having the top secure enough so brushed it off. However we hada storm the other day that I ... Read More
I'm about to trade in my 2001 Sebring LX sedan for a new car and thought that the group might benefit from hearing the history of the car. I have put 148,000 miles on the car in 3.5 yrs. It has the 2.6 liter engine. 95% of the miles driven were highway miles. MPG on the highway rarely drops below 30mpg and sometimes runs up to the mid 30's. The engine ... Read More
We are having the exact same issue with our 2001 Sebring lxi. Have you tried talking to Chrysler yet about it? We have heard that this is a known issue, so perhaps we could get them to replace it. please advise thanks
Went through this with a 2001 Sebring. Solution - I called the Chrysler hot line and arranged for dealer to get his fanny chewed. Then, I took the car to a local Dodge dealer, and, they managed to fix all the problems that the Chrysler dealer couldn't. Regards: Oldengineer
jcach, the wind screen most definitely stops the wind. Its the best accessory I bought for my 2002 Chrysler Sebring GTC. However I bargained with the dealer and got the screen for $150.00 (I don't think these screens are big sellers). Go get one and be careful installing.
New Touring Sapphire Blue over Sandlewood w/ Sandlewood Cloth Top
Written by: kenitzer on Jun 27, 2004 7:02:20 PM
Purchased a new 2004 Sapphire Blue over Sandlewood Sebring Conv. Touring model, loaded with everything except ABS Traction Control. I have been looking at convertibles for a while, with my short list being the Sebring, 2004 Toyota Solara Conv. and 2001 Saab 9-3 Conv. So far I am quite happy with my choice. We have had good luck with Chrysler/Dodge products in the past, which was certainly a factor that influenced ... Read More
I've had my Sebring into the local dealer numerous times starting early in the warranty. The vehicle now has only about 30,000 KM on it. It started with a clunking noise in the right front end as I passed over sewer holes. They said it was a control arm bushing which they changed. Little better but still there. Took it back and they replaced another bushing. Still there and I took ... Read More
I have at 2001 Chrysler Sebring LXi sedan. I have had water leak in 7 times. I have lost my lemon law arbitration because the 4th problem was not within the specified mileage. However, I do have a 3 year and 36,000 mile warranty that the dealer and Chrysler must honor. I am taking it in again next week. The 5 Star Dealers Master Mechanic who has looked at it 4 ...

2001 Chrysler Sebring sedan problems
Written by: dianall on Aug 28, 2002 10:11:06 AM
I bought a brand new (leftover) 2001 Chrysler Sebring in Nov. 2001. It was a quiet ride...for about 2000 miles. Dealt with a rattle under the middle of the car which was remedied after 2 visits by tightening exhaust. Around 4500 miles noticed a loud creaking noise in the front end when turning. Have been back five times since. So far the Five Star Chrysler Dealer service dept has replaced the ... Read More
2001 Sebring Covertible LXI
Written by: mbaesch on Jul 10, 2002 2:03:29 PM
I own a 2001 LXI. I previously owned a 97 JXI. The 97 was a dream to own. The 2001 is a different story. I like the new body/interior design but the shifting of the automatic transmission with the 2.7 is not as smooth as the 97 / 2.5 V-6. Anyone noticing the same with theirs? I have spoken to the dealership and they state it is operating normally. I beg ... Read More

Great interior space for a sports luxury coupe (esp. in the rear seats) I keep looking at this car after I ... Read More

This is Steve from New Jersey. My company ended its fleet car program this spring, and all us employees have been forced to use our own cars. After 20 years driving company cars (and dreaming of convertibles), I was forced to buy a car for the first time in my life. After test driving a 2001 Chrysler Sebring LXi convertible, there really was no other car worth considering. Ive had my ... Read More
