2004 Chrysler Sebring LX 2dr Convertible (2.7L 6cyl 4A)

Living in upstate NY, everyone thought I was crazy for buying a convertible! ... HOW WRONG THEY WERE! This is the best car I've ever owned - a "practical" sized car, powerful V6, smooth handling, great look, fun to drive, reliable, power top ... plus quiet and well-insulated to keep the heat in (even during snowy January days) I love this car!

Great Beach Cruiser

2004 Chrysler Sebring Touring 2dr Convertible (2.7L 6cyl 4A)

Fantastic beach cruiser for retired baby boomers. Great looks! More agressive looks than previous model years. Inferno red with tan top turns heads. Surprising ride with a larger car feel. Ride is quiet and tight. Build quality thus far seems very good. Very little cowl shake. Fuel mileage is very good. If in the market for a convertable, don't pass this one by.

Complete Garbage

2004 Chrysler Sebring 2dr Convertible (2.4L 4cyl 4A)

I bought a 2004 Sebring with 22k miles on it in 2005. I drive it to work and back and now the car has 100k miles on it. Did the 30/60/90 maintenance, regular coolant flushes, regular oil changes, new battery every 3 years, 3 new sets of tires,and here is what has crapped out over the years: 32k - aluminum oil pan stripped. 40k - brake replacement. 50k - washer hose break. 60k - engine oil seal leak. 70k - heater core leak. 75k - some misc electronic fuel regulator part. 80k - worn shocks and towers. 85k - leAking charcoal canister won't pass emissions, AC leak 90k - 2nd heater core leak, exhaust resonator cracked 95k - Rear power window seized up, Power top hydraulics leak. Water pump failure. Timing belt failure. 100k - thermostat failure, radiator overheating, AC compressor leak, belt tightener failure And now it is the shop again because the AC doesn't work after a new compressor. Also there is a minor oil leak. The 2.4 liter engine will run forever- the transmission seems ok, but this car has been a money pit for as little as I driven it. It's a good looking car, but plagued with the most annoying problems. And I have well sunk enough money into it to pay for the original purchase price well over. But I love the car! Such is the love and hate relationship I have with it.

200,000 miles

great car but just hit 200,000 miles and have to replace the power steering belt. can't even get near it. oil leaking as well as coolant but neither quickly. no room in engine bay to work and cant drive it onto a ramp because the bumper is so low. i ended up jacking it up and putting the ramp under it but still can't get to the belts. i wish this American built car wasn't mostly plastic.

2004 Sebring Convertable

I have not had one problem at all with my Sebring since I bought it new in 2004. It has been reliable, fun, and has given me good fuel economy - 28- 30 mpg on the road about 25 mpg around town, using Copper performance tires. I had a leak in the area or the top back window. the dealer fixed it and I took it through the car wash all the time. I put on 148,000 miles on it in Los Angeles, then I moved it to Hawaii and put on a total of 182,000 miles when my son totaled it! The only thing I had to replace was the front left motor mount, which was caused going airborne for about 30 feet on a wavy road outside of Hilo. I just loved this car and am looking for buy another ASAP!
