Overview & Reviews

Even though it was revamped last year, the Sebring line receives a number of changes. An Enthusiast package for the sedan debuts, as will a sporty GTC convertible later in the model year. And to put the Sebring ragtop in reach of more buyers, a lower-priced LX version with the 2.4-liter inline four becomes available.

• Good looks and performance, wide range of body styles, exceptional value.

• No manual transmission in the sedan, build quality and resale value not up to Japanese standards.

  Love my Car! - 2002 Chrysler Sebring
  By Cass - August 9 - 12:08 pm

  I bought my LXi January 2007 with 59,000 miles on it right out of a lease. This car was my second car and i wanted something sporty, but reliable. I could not believe i found it. I unfortunately will be parting with is soon because I am 6 tall and there is no back seat space even for a car seat, but I cant complain. I didnt want anyone in my car to ruin it anyway! Such a fun car with the sport shifter. I unfortunately got stuck with a noisy suspension that has never given me any problems! First problem I am dealing with is at 115,000 miles the alternator died. That was my turning moment to say I should probably upgrade now before more happens :*(

  USD 10,000+ in repair and counting - 2002 Chrysler Sebring
  By old timer - August 5 - 8:14 pm

  46,000 Miles, 1 owner. I have replaced: front end (2X, no grease fittings), 2 rear struts, cat converter, both passenger & driver front door panels, air bag electronics, AC compressor (2X), power door locks (2X), trunk pneumatic, wiper motors, headlamps (4X). I repainted to cover skin cancer (Chrysler admitted paint issue). Engine lite comes on and engine stalls intermittently w/o cause. Foam in pass compartment deteriorates and blows black plastic over everything. Plastic trim around doors brittle, cracking. Total out-of-pocket cost for these repairs to date: $10,700 [$4000 this year so far]. Chrysler admits all of these are their fault but none are part of any recall.

  Love my car - 2002 Chrysler Sebring
  By BARBARA - July 15 - 1:37 pm

  Had this car for 8 years and it now has 158,000 miles. Ran fine until now. I guess its because of old age/mileage. Now Im having problems with antifreeze leaking and sometime overheating. I replaced the water pump and thermostat and thermostat housing. All this in a years time. Still having overheating and antifreeze leaking issues. I hope it can be fixed but it is now starting to nickle and dime me. I guess I cant complain since it never gave me a problem until 2007. But hey, look at my mileage. I love this car and enjoyed it. I just hate to part with it.

  Good Car - 2002 Chrysler Sebring
  By Dale - June 26 - 1:54 pm

  After reading about the 2.7 V-6 issues I ran motor flush through the engine and replaced the oil with full synthetic. Purchased in a 5 qt container, the price isnt much more than if I purchased standard oil. The car is quiet, very comfortable to drive, handles curves far better than Chevy Malibu, and gets good fuel mileage. Id recommend this car to anyone looking.

  Very Happy after 8 years - 2002 Chrysler Sebring
  By Joanie - June 10 - 5:45 pm

  I really lucked out with this car. I got it for a wonderful price and nothing major has gone wrong with it at all. I have been so happy with this car. I dont know if I just got really lucky but it has out performed my previous 3 Mazdas.. I couldnt continue with the Mazdas because they got too pricey for me at the time so I went American and boy am I happy I did. Only had to do basic maintenance- brake pads- rotors - new tires etc. But nothing else! I hope a I have as good luck with my next purchase.

  Dangerous In Winter! - 2002 Chrysler Sebring
  By mrs.fonz - June 1 - 12:28 pm

  Have very cold winters here. Bought with less than 20,000 miles on it. Resistor in blower motor broke, REPEATEDLY! Had persistent front axle problems! Once original brakes needed replacement, they were never right. Wiper motor died. Transmission troubles. ALL window motors quit working! Once the extended service warranty ran out, all these were VERY expensive to fix! Brake pedal FROZEN at cold temps! Apparently Im the only one who had this problem? We dont have a garage. Took it back to the dealer over & over. They couldnt fix it! This car was supposed to go with my daughter when she went away to a school farther north. She ended up with the "new" car as I didnt trust this one!

  Great Car Overall - 2002 Chrysler Sebring
  By Dale - May 30 - 6:33 am

  I love the comfort and handling of this car. It does have the 2.7 V-6, which I am familiar with the oil sludge issue, but will take care to prevent clogging with regular oil changes and motor flushes. This car is quick upon acceleration, quiet, offers a soft, stable ride, as well as good gas mileage. Im averaging around 28 miles per gallon in my Sebring.

  Best Convertible I have ever owned - 2002 Chrysler Sebring
  By Convertible Lady - May 24 - 1:18 am

  I have been the only owner of my Sebring 2002 Convertible. I have changed the oil religiously about every 3000 miles, changed the tranny fluid, and done other preventative maintenance as suggested. The only problem I have had with my vehicle is with the seat belt light staying on. I changed out a fuse and had the box reset and that helped for about two weeks. The light came back on. It doesnt bother me to have the light on so I leave it alone. The only other problem I had was with some small piece in the system that cost about $100 (it caused the car to shut down at stop lights). I got that fixed and everything is ok again. It has been a great car..no lemon. I am over 100k mi. now.

  Love my convertible - 2002 Chrysler Sebring
  By Angelizz10 - April 27 - 11:07 pm

  I bought this baby blue convertible new. It gets really outstanding mileage that it automatically checks for you. I am getting around 32 highway. The only problem I have had during my 70,000 miles was at about 50,000 it wouldnt come out of 1st gear! I drove it slowly, to the dealership where I purchased it. It was a small plastic piece that I learned Chrysler had in it that wore out about that mileage. I had extended warranty and they fixed it. Glad I had it. It is a snazzy looking car, and being blonde, I look good in it with the top down and Andre Bocelli playing when I head to the beach. Great fun and would buy it again in a heartbeat.
