Avoid this Sedan!

2001 Chrysler Sebring LXi 4dr Sedan (2.7L 6cyl 4A)

The first three years were fine, not great but managable. We did have to take it in for a few warranty items to a local dealer, CD player, running roughly, etc. Now there are too many major problems to list. We were originally planning on driving it until my son could drive but I don't think this lemon will hold out. I also don't want to put my son in a car that we can't depend on. It's bushings are bad, the interior dash light rarely works, it is leaking oil, the inside "chrome" looking handles is flaking off, the leather on the steering wheel is gone, excessive brake dust on front.You get the picture. Junk! Too bad we bought the loaded version - what a waste of money.

Good Look but poor suspension

I purchased my convertible new and enjoy driving it with the top down but it needs better suspension for bumpy roads. The engine is quiet but having a convertible makes it noisy. I have had some leaking from the top and rear defroster not working. I have 35000 miles and it has been reliable. But I am disappointed of the poor resale value of these vehicles. Chysler has a good visual look but in- town ride is rough.

Outstanding luxury sleeper!

One of the finest cars I've owned. A real head-turner & BMW- surpriser! I got the loaded performance 5-speed with 24-value Mitsu V6. Gorgeous indigo exterior with gray leather, "wood" trimmed, 4-CD blowout sounds interior. At first changes added; K&N filter, Z- Max & 245x45 Toyo's. Been absolutely rock-solid reliable & that's even after hot laps around Sears Point & Laguna Seca! What a rush. Only complaints are a bit too much wind noise, limited rear quarter vision, & power mirrors lost power. Oil, belts, brakes, & tires are only money I've had to put in. At 75,000 miles. No major maintenance until I reach 90,000 miles + 100,000 warranty to boot! Great!

Steer clear of the Sebring

2001 Chrysler Sebring LX 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 4A)
1 of 1 people found this review helpful

I just recently got my lisence last summer and this was my first car. At first glance you would say its a nice looking car but looks don't count for everything. When i got it, it has about 114,000 miles on it. The transmission had been replaced along with a power steering pump. I thought that this car would last me for a few years but after having the car for one day the fuel pump gave out. Shortly after the ac went bad along with the back two windows. When winter hit the car struggled to start and the thermostat went bad making it very difficult to drive. Also because of it's low power and heavy body, it made it slmost impossible to drive in the winter.

Don't count on it . . . or Chrysler

This is my first Chrysler, and it will certainly be my last. Don't get me wrong - I love the looks of the car, but looks sure aren't everything. I have had problems with my Sebring since I purchased it. First it was the engine. No one ever seemed to be able to find the problem when the engine light came on every 4-6 months. Now it's the paint job, which is fading fast on the top and trunk. Don't expect any help from Chrysler either. Under warranty or not, the problems are yours to fix and worry about. For a company that relies on customers, their customer service is anything but. Take my advice (as I wish I had taken from others before I bought this car) - don't buy a Chrysler!
