Used 2001 Chrysler Sebring Sedan Consumer Reviews
Looks Good, Fun at First, but just wait
At first I was very please with the car (got the lx with 6cyl not lxi). It was stylish and very peppy for a sedan, also handled great, even in rain or snow. But at around 25,000 miles, I found that you could take the key out while it was still in drive. Before I could take it in, I was driving and the engine locked up. Had it towed to a dealer, who asked me if I had my recipts for oil changes before they ever looked at it. Long story short, I only had a couple, and had to have engine rebuilt at 30K miles ($5k)not warrantied. Front end squeaks when you turn, and my timing belt just broke, opened engine to find completely sludged again. Found out that this engine has an oiling problem!
great car, poor reliability
Took car to dealership 3 times at 39,000 miles for stalling/ failing to start ended up having to replace my 2.7 L v6 engine not covered by my extended warranty, air conditioning doesn't work anymore, neither does the stereo or parking brake. Still, it's very comfortable, handles well, gets decent gas mileage, and it's paid for. Guess that's why I still drive it

Review of Sebring
I enjoy my Sebring, and I suggest that anyone that is looking for a sleek, comfortable car with nice features and a roomy ride get a Sebring
Best car I've ever owned (had many).
I bought this Sebring from a dealer as a "Program Car" with 18K miles on it and used it to cover a 9-State sales territory as a consultant until I retired from that a few years ago; hence the high miles. It is currently garaged and seldom driven. I've had zero problems from this car and intend to keep it forever.
The most horrible car I have ever driven
This car is horrible. I had to have the transmission replaced at 111 miles. Since then I have had it back to the dealer 8 times for problems with acceleration associated with the new transmission. I have had to have the multi-function switch (turn signal) replaced, twice. I have also had to have the car checked out for clunking noises when I turn, stop, or am at a red light. Chrysler says that these are all characteristics of the car, therefore they are not responsible to repair them, even though they notice the same sounds and feelings as I do. Why would a car be designed to act this way? I have never driven another car I despise so much.
