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.

Worst car I have ever owned, even with reg. maintenance - 2004 Chrysler Sebring
By meatballman - May 20 - 11:12 amThis car is a piece of trash. I hate this car so much I will never own another Chrysler or Dodge product, ever. Engine failure at 140000, replaced ball joints and wheel bearings at least 5 times that I can remember in the front, oil sending unit went bad, blower motor resistor went bad, cig lighter wires broke off inside console, sudden surges at red lights and stop signs, sudden stalls at red lights and stop signs. I literally had every single problem people have written about this car. I went to the dealer to look at a used Civic which they sold before we got there, and sales guy got my wife to fall in love with this car. Worst regret ever that I caved.

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.

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.

Junk engine stay away!!! - 2004 Chrysler Sebring
By tag - February 23 - 10:07 amWe purchased this car in 2005 and it started off fine. However, the interior quality is poor and the location of vital parts are located in poor spots. Example: you need to remove the front tire to replace the damn battery. This is so nice! Just 2 weeks ago at 100,120 miles the engine blew. After researching this I found that the 2.7 v6 engine has a major sludge issue and no mechanic will work on them. Just google this for yourself prior to buying this junk car.

Wish I didnt buy - 2004 Chrysler Sebring
By Dr.Arnold - March 17 - 10:00 amLemon. That is how I describe my red sebring convertable. The check engine light came on after one week. Was "fixed" and came on again the following week. They ordered a part, and asid it was safe to drive. In the mean time 3 complete electrical failures. the 3rd one after it was "fixed" again. And a broken RPM gauge to boot. 4th time in the shop and nothing fixed yet. And so far no satisfaction from Chrysler! Dont buy!

Cute but uncomfortable - 2004 Chrysler Sebring
By simon87 - November 11 - 7:38 amI bought this car because of its good looks both interior and exterior, great mileage, and it suited my needs. After driving it about a year and a half, I am ready for something new. It still runs great, however, it is so uncomfortable. My back gets sore after driving an hour or so, its incredibly hard to get in and out of and the road noise on the highway gets pretty annoying. Everything on it is very light and plasticy making it feel like you really are driving a Barbie car on the interstate. It just doesnt feel safe and the very low roof makes me clostrophobic.

Original owner, and family car with low mileage. - 2004 Chrysler Sebring
By Michigan Zegota - September 24 - 10:31 pmWhere it was manufactured, and that some parts will require metric tools. This model does hold up well in Northern environments and handle well in snow with appropriate tires, great A/C and heater. Mileage is above average for model and year, does not require no-lead gasoline, or special formula, if driven in Northern environment where salt is used on roads. You should look for signs of rust in rear wheel area, behind fender, undercarriage and frame holds up well, so does the 2.7 engine if properly maintained. Do not listen to complaints on this engine, however make sure you do check for any major repair work, I did have to replace the complete power steering unit, include the front right wheel assembly due to poor manufacturing. It is one of the reasons that I do ask you to check and make sure that the Sebring was made in America, and not Canada because of metric bolts...etc. I still have this car today after fourteen years, with sixty-seven thousands original miles, just replaced the rear struts last year 2016. Now experiencing the oil indicator warning light on, and staying on after warming up, heating indicator showing ok temperature, no leaks, and oil level is ok. Could be pump, however at this stage and year would not prefer to spend that amount of money for a pump, or repairs, guess will drive until tires fall off. I would not purchase this car new, is I had a chance, way too many issues from date of purchase, I even tried to pursue the lemon law in Michigan within the first two years. No one would listen...got me a brand new Buick 2014 now.
