Used 2001 Chrysler Sebring Sedan Consumer Reviews
If you love sinking money on poor made cars...
It had about 74k miles. Since day one i had problems. Heater went out and windows would freeze up and would only blow cold air, The headlights would flicker on and off, the cd changer when in the cold would make some robotic squeal and change the cds at random. clock would die out. The car would not start half the time and the other half id be driving and the oil temperature would skyrocket into overheating. Twice on the highway my car would almost catch fire. my ball-join broke off the car and had to get towed going 12mph. and last but not least, the 2.7 engine died on me at 80k. all this happend in a span of 8 months. I will never buy a Chrysler again
lemon
At 3000 miles had to have parts of car repainted because paint picking caused by debris in paint. At 12000 miles replaced rear main oil seal and bearing, also fuel line leaking replaced that also. At 12900 miles transmission cooler hose became disconnected while driving on highway draining all transmission fluid which left us stranded. Replaced hose clamps. Clunking noise in front end when taking off from stopped position. Front brakes squeal alot. Dearlership says this is normal.

Very Good Car
Car rides and handles quite well. Comfortable for long trips. Looks pretty good with some decent quality to the interior materials, not full of cheap plastic. Very good stereo. Have had no real problems with it, so very reliable. Much better in that regard than my 2004 Hyundai Accent, or 90's model Ford cars. On the downside the fuel mileage isn't great. The visibility and maneuverability are somewhat lacking but I'm used to compact cars. This is a bit of a boat. Windshield defrost takes forever, very ill conceived big center vent in the dash. Low ground clearance. Only a four speed automatic, should be five or six gears. Overall pretty happy.
Great car since I bought it.
I bought this car new and am still driving it. I have 123K on it now. Problems I have had with it over the years are: At 23K transmission had issues, but they re-built it under warranty and I haven't had an issue since. Wheel bearings went once at around 65K. Air conditioning goes on and off at random which I'm told is a control pannel issue. I have had multiple heat resisters replaced which is a well known issue for this car. I also have chrome wheels which is the most pain as they lose air constantly. The engine light stays on from a bad gas cap sensor. Oil light comes on at stops after long drives, but does not appear to be serious. Despite issues, I still feel it is reliable
Quality of craftmanship
The windshield leaks when it rains and headlight is already getting condensation. This leaves me with concerns of quality of the product. We only have 5500 miles on it so far. It was purchased new.
