Low-speed traction control now comes on all models equipped with antilock brakes.

  • Garbage - 2004 Chrysler Sebring
    By -

    I bought this car 3 years ago with 160000 km on it it now has 195000 and is ready for the junkyard. Pretty much every part that could fail did, also significant rust issues muffler was completely rusted through, skirts and other parts are rusted from the inside out. Automatic transition doesnt work probably. Driving performance is poor, it is almost impossible to keep the car on the road at higher speeds around 160 km/h. All in all the worst car i have ever driven !!

    I bought a 2004 Sebring with 22k miles on it in 2005. I drive it to work and back and now the car has 100k miles on it. Did the 30/60/90 maintenance, regular coolant flushes, regular oil changes, new battery every 3 years, 3 new sets of tires,and here is what has crapped out over the years: 32k - aluminum oil pan stripped. 40k - brake replacement. 50k - washer hose break. 60k - engine oil seal leak. 70k - heater core leak. 75k - some misc electronic fuel regulator part. 80k - worn shocks and towers. 85k - leAking charcoal canister wont pass emissions, AC leak 90k - 2nd heater core leak, exhaust resonator cracked 95k - Rear power window seized up, Power top hydraulics leak. Water pump failure. Timing belt failure. 100k - thermostat failure, radiator overheating, AC compressor leak, belt tightener failure And now it is the shop again because the AC doesnt work after a new compressor. Also there is a minor oil leak. The 2.4 liter engine will run forever- the transmission seems ok, but this car has been a money pit for as little as I driven it. Its a good looking car, but plagued with the most annoying problems. And I have well sunk enough money into it to pay for the original purchase price well over. But I love the car! Such is the love and hate relationship I have with it.

  • ITS A TICKING TIME BOMB.... KEEP AWAY FROM IT!!!! - 2004 Chrysler Sebring

    Do not buy this car unless you have a GREAT mechanic or a GREAT extended warranty! Engine and computer has BUGS and started acting crazy at 132,300 miles valves are sticking and idle is rough. Not an easy car to work, not worth your time to overhaul and replace engine.

  • BAD DECISION!!!! - 2004 Chrysler Sebring

    Took it through a car wash,water came pouring into the car.Dealer claims you arent supposed to take convertibles through a car was(they stated if I had read my owners manual,I would have known that).I have been in a rain storm 2X and water is still leaking.Front indows off track. Service dept cant ind the problem.They claim it has to do with the motor of the window.Going to get something more reliable(AND from a different dealer).Ive called the owner of the dealership and was advised she doesnt speak to customers(thats why she hires managers).Why does Chrysler have a dealer with such poor customer service.Maybe it reflects the quality of the car!
