Used 2002 Chrysler Sebring LXi 4dr Sedan (2.7L 6cyl 4A) Consumer Reviews
Almost put me into pre-term labor
Bought this vehicle in November of '05 with 35k miles. I had it about 2 months when the blower became very loud and annoying. In October of '07, the transmission control module went out, costing about $200. I read some reviews at that point and debated selling it. Since it was paid off I decided to keep it. In March of '08, at 77k, the car died. 4 weeks and $4,400 later, I got my car back after the computer and entire engine had been replaced. Apparently the car has problems with oil sludge, although I had kept up on all routine maintenance. Worst month of my life, all while expecting my first child. I will NEVER EVER buy a Chrysler again. Don't buy this car!
A winner
The Sebring LXi is an all around great car especially so when price is factored in. I got a 2002 LXi sedan loaded with everything except the sun roof and I walked out the door for less than 24K including sales tax. On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being a complete lemon and 10 being impossible to achieve for 23K, I give it an 8.

Still Love It, 5 Years Later
Bought my 02 Chrysler Sebring 4D Sedan brand new for just under $16K. No problems except for a bad battery. Comfy car, great stereo, smooth ride. Only complaint is gas mileage. With stop and go traffic in Atlanta, I only get about 21/22 miles per gallon. But, other than that, I'm a happy customer. Will probably buy a Sebring convertible when (if??) my 02 ever wears out... this is the first non- import car I've ever owned and I have no complaints!
Verrry Disappointed
Car is a great car if you want to pay full price for limited life of the engine.The problem with this car is the unreliabilty issues with the 6.7 liter engine. I had the car checked by a Chrysler center the day before I left on vacation and the service department could find nothing wrong even though a service engine light had come on. 250 miles away from home, the engine light came back on and I was on the interstate on a Saturday with two small kids and nothing open. Rented a car for three days and another week while waiting on a part to come in.A year later at 74k miles just over warranty, the engine went. Repair shop said familiar story on these 6.7L engines. Cost $3,000 for new motor.
Great car for the dough!
I actually traded down from a 300M to my new Sebring LXi Sedan in Inferno Red. Yes I got every possible option, but this car still listed for $6,000 less than the 300M and quite frankly rides better, performs about the same, and gets much better mileage. The thing that amazes me is that this car feels more stable on the highway, is more surefooted in inclement weather and provides ALMOST as many amenities as the 300M at a much lower price. I honestly can't understand why anyone would pay more for an intermediate 4 door sedan. This is really a great car.
