My door panel on my sebring fell off already and 75 percent of the time that I see the same car on the road, their door panels are different colors than their car so obviously their door panel fell off also.
I have a 2000 Sebring LXi, and can attest that most of the discussed things are problem areas on these cars. I haven't had a door panel fall off at all, so I suppose I'm lucky there. The brakes on these cars are well documented to be too small for this weight of vehicle (designed for the lighter avenger/eclipse) and do wear quickly. The stock 17" rims are junk, plain and simple. They rash easy, and even mild pot holes bend the rims. I have wheels from a 1996 Talon on my car, and they are much more durable. Chrysler's transaxles are notorious for being poorly built, I've had 3 mopars (2 Daytonas and this Sebring), and all have shown tranny issues. For the users posting that it's user abuse that is the issue on all these cars, while great treatment will help avoid these problems, the Sebring is prone to them, so be careful, and enjoy at least the fact that when it's running, the Sebring is one of the best looking, most comfortable cars on the road in it's price range.
