Overview & Reviews
The Sebring's former trim designations have been replaced with base, Touring and Limited while GTC trim carries over unchanged. Sedan and convertible models receive a restyled front fascia and new wheels, while the coupe gets new dash, door and instrument panel trim. Low-speed traction control now comes on all models equipped with antilock brakes.
- Spacious interiors, solid performance, long list of standard features.
- Lacks refinement, build quality and resale value not comparable to class leaders.

This car is horrible - 2004 Chrysler Sebring
By Rob - August 31 - 10:28 amI bought this car with 20,000 miles on it. I have had nothing but problems with it since. Engine light comes on all the time. I have replaced almost everything on the car but the transmission, but it seems to be slipping and shutting off when you come to a stop. Whatever you do you need to run as far away from this car as you can.

Loving my car! - 2004 Chrysler Sebring
By tiffany - August 29 - 9:48 pmSo we bought my car in 2008 while I was still prego with my daughter. The best ever, only real problem is the get up and go or trying to get battery changed out. i had to get new battery last week which was aug 2010 it was 140 to do that due to the fact that u have to take driver side tire off. its a good car i feel safe in it with my daughter lots of room just wish my windows were tinted. dont let it have hail damage because if its on the roof they will total your car and cant fix it but i love it its slick and nice and easy to maneuver. looks slick and nice keep up on the oil changes your car will be fine. i recommend this car dunno bout other peoples reviews ive had no problems at all dunno

Money pit - 2004 Chrysler Sebring
By Chelsea - May 17 - 11:38 pmI bought my 2004 Sebring in March of 2009 with 44,000 miles on it. Ive had the car in the shop almost a dozen times during the 14 months Ive had it and have put in nearly $1,000 worth of repairs. It only has 52,000 miles on it! I had a transmission leak that was fixed five different times before it was finally solved. I have a very loud rattle coming from somewhere under the drivers side that no auto repair shop can seem to find. My spark plugs blew within months of purchasing the car and now my engine hesitates when I shift from reverse to drive. It is a good looking car, but I would never recommend this car to anyone.

Six years and still going - 2004 Chrysler Sebring
By Milli - May 13 - 10:28 amI bought my car barely used back in 2004, and Im still driving it in 2010. Nary a leak to date, with fairly minor problems...the engines been fine, but its other stuff, like the low front profile - Ive learned to be careful not to pull in too far with nose in parking - the bumper catches and pulls loose), or the comparitively fragile motor mount. My biggest complaint is the front passenger window - its temperamental. It works in cold weather but not in hot...I live in Phoenix. Enough said? All told though, its been a fun six years and Im hoping for at least a few more.

A Fun but Practical Car - 2004 Chrysler Sebring
By Jeannot - April 25 - 5:45 pmThis car has 75,000 miles and still looks and runs like new. We love it. It is not the most sporty convertible, but wasnt meant to be. But I think its the largest, most practical. I have the Limited, which has every amentity available in 2004. Lots of thoughtful touches.

Stay Away From This Car! - 2004 Chrysler Sebring
By Grneyes421 - April 9 - 1:42 pmEverything worked fine for the first 1.5 years. Then noticed leaking when it rained, and I mean front and rear floor flooded. Had to scoop the water out. Then it was a snow ball effect in repairs. Battery,Valve cover gasket, timing belt, and water pump $700 Brakes and Tires $450 Misc stuff $300 New motor for window $100, Catalytic Converter (didnt fix) all in 6 weeks? Then BLAMMO Blew a Freaking Rod! Still owe $4000 on the loan. Now Im left with a heap of scrap metal with moldy carpets on a good set of tires. They want you to buy American, well make it reliable. Looking for a Honda or Toyota now..

HORRIBLE - 2004 Chrysler Sebring
By Kristina - March 25 - 3:26 pmMy sister and I both bought our Sebrings the same day. The worst decision ever. Between the two of us we have had just about every problem listed in this forum. Its awful to save up for months for your upcoming wedding and have your engine blow (happened to both of us). This car should come with a box of Kleenex for all the heart break it causes and a free savings acct. so you can get a little jump on the repair bills.

Dream Car for my son - 2004 Chrysler Sebring
By Matt - March 12 - 2:37 pmWe bought this car for my 16 year old son and he loves the car. It had style, a safe rating, and seemed very dependable. Ive read the mixed reviews and was a little nervous, however reviews can be deceiving. All his friends are now bugging their parents for a convertible and our son is very grateful. We would do it again - in a heartbeat - if another Chrysler Convertible was available.

ENGINE DIED FROM SLUDGE - 2004 Chrysler Sebring
By concetta van patten - February 27 - 1:32 amEngine died w/approx 45,000 mi. Oil changed as recommended. Shocked that Chrysler put the 2.7 Liter engine in some of these 2004 Sebrings when there were hundreds of complaints about these engines.Theres class action lawsuit re this 2.7 L engine which is apparently built in such a way that coolant gets into the engine,oil doesnt filter properly due to structural design and turns to sludge, and the engine holds less oil, thereby requiring more frequent oil changes.Chrysler and extended warranty co.s refuse to cover cost, due to sludge even when customer produces oil change receipts.I still owe $9600 on the loan and new engine will cost half that.
