2002 Chrysler Sebring Sedan review from North America
"Good car, tough on tires and brakes"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Have had tires blow out on this car like no other... usually front tires. Rear tires seem to hold up very well but front tires go fast on this car.
Ignition cylinder went bad... could not turn key. Had to replace cylinder.
Brakes! Have had two sets of front brakes this year, going on second set of rear (second set of rear was only caused by brake hoses that collapsed).
Cheap fabric on seats - the fabric rips/tears very easily. I live alone and can count on one hand the number of times people have sat in the back seat. Yet I could be pulling a grocery bag out and I swear the fabric will rip.
General comments?
Despite the faults mentioned above, I do enjoy this car. It is a very smooth ride - my parents have a Pontiac, which I get to drive once in a while if I head home, and I would always rather drive mine - very smooth.
I have never had a complaint from passengers the few times I have had passengers in the back seat. Yet, I have to say I wish the back seat was larger or the trunk was larger and the back seat was smaller. I used to be able to easily haul a bicycle in my old Pontiac - now it's a near impossible feat.
I do enjoy the controls of the car, sensibly laid-out. No other faults that I can find.
