2003 Chrysler Sebring Sedan Reviews

From 50,000 to 86,000, I've replaced the cam sensor X3, crank sensor, throttle position sensor, 4 rotors and two pads. Also replaced the evaporate emissions canister.

The car never left me stranded or refused to start. But it's been one dumb, cheap little thing or another, never more than 5,000 miles since the last repair.

I bought this car, because my wife's car, a 2004 PT Cruiser has been a pretty good car. I thought I bought the same 2.4 automatic trans. But this 2.4 has a different head, different piston and crank, and the oil filter goes on horizontally; the Cruiser's is vertical. Same oil filter and ignition system though.

Good styling and comfort, poor quality electronic sensors.

Radiator went bad and car kept overheating, cost over $400 to fix.

Brakes shake when you stop

Had a leak in the transmission, rough shifting, $180 to get fixed

Oil Pressure light problem, had sending unit replaced, didn't work. Need new oil pump, will cost $1200 to fix.

All this in a span of less than two years.

Will never buy another Chrysler again, nothing but problems when it gets over 80000 miles or so.

Steering Wheel Harness became disconnected while turning, cost $200 to fix it.

Brakes always shake.

Loud whistling noise at around 50 MPH.

Power Train Control Module replacement, replacement defective, replaced with a 2nd Power Train Control Module. Did not fix transmission problem. replaced Transmission Control Module next.

Broken Speedometer.

Huge dashboard blinds the driver on sunny days. Bad design.

If you do your research on the internet, you will find that Chrysler is known for faulty transmissions. Another thing I have found both on the internet and by personal experience is that the people at Chrysler will not help you at all. It is impossible to find anyone outside of your dealer to talk to at Chrysler. They do have their "Customer Hotline" but believe me, they are not there to help you. They would not give me the name of the Regional Service Manager, and told me that he does not speak to customers! Imagine that.

SO far only the remote locking system was changed to not-honking one. (it sounded horn every time the door were locked with remote key). no cost.

So far no dealer problems or anything surprising. I have been very happy with it.

2.0 liter is a bit too small engine for this big car, but it is enough for every-day commuter driving.

Handling is good, much better than stratus that had a competition car-chassis.

Cabin is big and so is the trunk.

Trunk opening could have been bigger.

Nothing wrong yet. Still brand new. Not even 5000 km (3000 miles).

Great performance even if it is an automatic transmission. I made 0-100 km/h (0-60 mph) in 7.2 seconds (proof on video).

Handling is not bad, but a stiffer suspension would have been appreciated (even with the sport package).

Very large sunroof with one-touch opening.

Huge trunk! Can contain 2 mountain bikes easily.

Lots of space for people (not only kids) sitting on the rear seat.

Takes obviously more gas than a 4-cylinder engine, but very economic compared to other V6 engines. 36 mpg on highways.
