Engine light on , Engine or electrical Problems - 2005 Chrysler Sebring
By bingonut15 - August 21 - 5:37 pmI had so many problems with this since I bought it 2007 used from a Dealer that I thought I coud trust but I was wrong. He sold me a lemon. Bought hub bearings three times, struts, tie rods, crankshaft, crankshaft sensors, camshaft sensors and much more. Two weeks ago, I was have problems when I drove the car home the check engine came on and the car was jerking when I got up to 60 miles per hour. I went to Advance auto,test it out and they said needed a camshaft, so I bought it .installed it ,was still jerking. Then I took it to Midas to test it and it was the crankshaft sensor,got one, installed it still jerking. Brought to Chrysler test it, said Powertrain Module and

Good Car -- Mixed Reviews - 2005 Chrysler Sebring
By sjt3 - March 12 - 5:55 pmI just traded in my 2005 Sebring Convertible after four years. It was a great car overall but not without its flaws. Very cheaply built & even though the body was mostly plastic, still had the standard Chrysler problem of pealing paint. Interior plastic was cheap as well. Reliable with one exception, brakes!!!! I only put 40,000 miles on it and had to replace the brakes twice. My two previous cars, Chevy and a Ford, I only replaced the brakes once on each with 60,000 to 80,000 miles on it. My only other complaint is road noise. Very noisy!!!

Great car for awhile - 2005 Chrysler Sebring
By Brandy - October 7 - 2:00 amBought my Sebring used in 2007. Only problems until now were with rotors needing turning often and the rear spoiler coming off. Recently the front crank seal blew out causing a severe oil leak. Had it fixed and it happened again within minutes. Discovered that there is a problem with this motor having crank shaft end play which causes the front crank seal to come out. There is a bulletin on this problem, but no recall. Currently awaiting Chryslers response to see if they will take any responsibility since this is obviously a manufacturer defect since it has happened to so many of the 2005 motors.

My Last Chrysler - 2005 Chrysler Sebring
By Oldengineer - December 1 - 11:47 pmAfter 14 Chryslers, this is my last. The only thing this car does well at is get decent fuel economy. In 2 years of ownership, its been in the shop for warranty work a full 3 months in total. Its myriad problems and poor reliability have convinced me to switch brands. Its a beautiful car, but, seems to have been engineered and built by blindfolded kindergarten kids. Tried to get rid of it, but, this model depreciates like a falling brick.

Chrysler 4 dr sebring std - 2005 Chrysler Sebring
By Greg Ploof - November 29 - 7:03 pmIve had problems with this car, engine knock and right hand steering noise, it clicks when you steer to the right. This car had only 26,600 miles when I bought it and I have 35,567 now, this is my first Chrysler product and will be my last! A car with low mileage like this should not knock or make steering noises.

Dissappointed - 2005 Chrysler Sebring
By gwhea38411 - July 30 - 10:55 amBeautiful car however, the build quality is lacking. The car just feels flimsy. Dont know if its the design or the craftmanship. Braking is horrible and do not feel comfortable having to brake at speed. What the car lacks in quality it makes up for in appearance. If you must have a reliable car that will stand the test of time, this aint it but if you have some extra money lying around and want a fine looking car to drive it is. I would not recommend to a friend, just look at all the recalls this model has endured.

Low Quality But Affordable Fun - 2005 Chrysler Sebring
By ARX - May 27 - 2:04 pmNeeds to be built better. Many little annoying part failures. Occational engine noise that no Chrysler Mechanic can find, but all can hear. Poor service as well. The drive train seems sloppy. Had trouble with stereo, which was replaced under warrantee (thank God). Braking is not as good as I would like. I would not buy another one, which is sad, as many people stop me and say how nice it "looks", then I tell them of all the little things that pop up now and then. Get with it US Auto Makers. Stop buying up all the imports and invest your cash in domestic quality up grades.

chrysler sebring limited convertible - 2005 Chrysler Sebring
By mac - May 3 - 4:21 pmwater gets in windows when washed with a wand. Handles very poorly around curves.Much bumpier ride than I expected for the money. Doesnt even compare to my last car in performance or comfort, that was a 2 door grand Prix 97.I have serious buyers remorse.

Second Sebring owner - 2005 Chrysler Sebring
By JayTee - April 29 - 8:40 pmI use the Sebring 4 door 2.7L as a compnay vehicle. It is the second one Ive gotten. The first, a 2002 model, was traded at 75,000 miles. No problems - ever! Why does Edmunds slam the interior? Look inside a Malibu, then look in a Sebring. Ive driven both and I can say that the Malibu is built like a Yugo compared to the Sebring. The interior of the Sebring is very well screwed together and not all all cheap looking - try to say that about any GM car. Brakes are excellent!!! Torque is a bit lacking. Gotta rev it hard, till the engine sounds like its coming apart. Aside from that,Chrysler really has come a long way. I am very pleased. Chrysler, please put a powerful engine in this car
