Worst car ever!! Had so many issues and spent so much money fixing numerous problems that the last time it broke down, I just called a towing company and let them take it for $100. A year later my newlywed daughter drove up our driveway in another Sebring Convertible! And three months later that's exactly where it is waiting to be taken to the shop for repairs. Horrible car. DO NOT buy.

Nice car until hit 170,000 miles. Had to drop 2000 dollars into it. Wouldn't start. Had timing belt, coolant flush,New muffler, I don't remember what else. After having a bunch of things fixed, I still have problems with car starting. Takes 3-5 tries before car starts. Mechanic cannot figure out what is causing it. Engine light stays on because of cylindar 1 misfire. All cylinders have been cleaned, and still get that code show up when engine light is on. Car doesn't run different. Was suggested o2 sensors but those are impossible to find. I suggest wording parts for that car at amautopart.com. cheaper! Else where parts for that pos car can be expensive.

Still enjoying the ride

I bought this car new in August 2000 and have driven it for 11 years. That's 11 years on the streets of Chicago -- cold winters, hot summers, wheel-chewing potholes -- you name it, we have it. I hit 100,000 miles at the end of 2006, and now it's over 186,000. Took a road-trip to Seattle circa 2008; what a way to travel! The car was totally reliable through about 2008. After that, problems started creeping up, but that's hardly surprising for its age, mileage, and driving conditions. Given a choice, I'd buy this car again in a second. I'll be driving it till it stops.

Great car for the money.

The car now has 159,000 miles on it, it's really been a gem. Still runs great. Isn't really fast off the line, but has plenty of high end torque, which makes passing maneuvers easy. Many people badmouth Chrysler, but I've had really good luck with them, this is my 7th chrysler, and one of 6 to go well past the 100,000 mile mark. The only one that's really been problematic is my PT Cruiser GT, but even when it's transmission went bad, it still didn't leave me stranded. I drove it to the repair shop. I wish the same could be said of the MINI Cooper I purchased brand new. It left me stranded twice in it's first 17,000 miles. Needless to say, I went running back to Chryslers.

Worst Car ever

I have never had more problems with one car in my life. It only had 32,000 miles when I purchased it and now only 73,000 3 years later. Constantly in the shop for tie Rods and ends mostly the right side. Also blew freeze plugs and ac out twice, fuel pump went out and left me stranded. Front passenger seat almost threw my passenger thru the window due to cam not matching for seat. You name it and it has happened. I would never recommend anyone buy this car. I also paid only $10,000 and got 3 years extended warranty. I have only 800 miles till it runs out. It is in the shop as we speak. I have acquired gastritis and ulcers from this car and no health insurance cost thousands for med

I have had nothing but problems with this car since I purchased it. The speed sensor went three times, in addition to other repairs - control arms replacement, door lock attenuator, replaced all the rims (got money back in the Class Action Lawsuit), headlight is foggy (from inside), etc. I have been adamant on keeping up with the maintenance book but have run out of room to write in all the extras that were needed. I am maticulous with the exterior (looks new) but have been battling rust that is coming from the inside of the hood leaching out. Most mechanics do not want to work on Chryslers and the parts (Mopar only) are difficult and expensive. My next car? Something foreign!

The best American car I've had

This car has done great mileage for me. I drive it in the city. I get 20- 23mpg. I'm on my second battery and second set of tires. It has been in the shop only once with something more major -- the starter went and I decided to replace the water pump just in in case. This happens at 85,000 miles. Recently, it has developed a water leak and the AC blower is only working on high, but I'm fixing to trade it, anyways. Otherwise, it hasn't had any problems in 8 years!

Paid 10k, spent 4 k in repairs over 3 yrs Leaking problem-coolant, transmission, oil Brakes problem: Fixed over and over, still squeaky, bad parts A/C Heating: A/C use shuts down engine in summer. Heat won't work unless you put it on level 4 Reliability: Say a prayer everytime you leave your driveway and hope it doesn't shut down. Overall: With regular maintenance, there is always a minimum $600-1000 cost of repairing something. Went broke with this car, all other bills started being paid late because I put all our money into keeping this car on the road

One of the three most enjoyable cars I've had in over 40 years of driving. Looks great. Bought it with about 50,000 miles and now have about 145,000. Has been very reliable. Fun to drive. The only improvement I would make is more comfortable cushions on the front seats. I'm looking for a newer one with low miles.

I bought my 2000 Sebring JXI new. The vehicle is now 6 years old and has 84,000 miles on it. I am very particular, changed the oil and filters religously. The car looks and runs like it just came off the showroom floor. I have changed the brakes and rotors, battery, serviced the trans and cooling system, basic maintenance you expect to keep a car purring. The only problem I had was the sensor on the trans failed which was under warranty. The wires connecting the rear defroster failed several times, so I gave up on that. The sun visor clips broke several times, no big deal inexpensive items to replace and change out easily. The sound system is excellent for stock. Love my car. I recommend.

2000 chysler sebring jxi This car was a program car. It had 17,000 miles on it when I got it. The only thing I have had to do is replace the tires,oil change (synthetic oil), brakes battery a/c and belt. No tune needed yet. I don't think that is too bad for 132,000 miles and getting 33 miles per gallon @ 60 mph / 26.3 miles per gallon @ 79.5 mph and it is running strong. Thank you Chysler

I have 112,000 miles on my Sebring. I have had nothing major go wrong. I do take great care of it and follow all the manufacturers recommendations. When I bought it, I was hesitant to pay the price for a new car but it turns out that the car was worth it. I will probably put on another 100,000 miles

This car has been an absolute joy to own until recently. The car has performed flawlessly until it hit 90k miles. Engine has enough pep to propel me in and out of tight spots including taking my bass boat to the lake. However, when the car hits 90K the durability factor goes out the window. Plan on a trade in of about 4k or spend the same in keeping it running. AC alone will cost me $2K to repair.

Not bad for the price

I had a few bugs that had to be worked out when I first bought the car. Thank goodness it was under warranty. I have had numerous problems with the rear defroster...the wire connectors keep coming undone. The top leaks, but the car is six years old now. I also had a problem with the transmission at 16,000 miles, but it was fixed quickly under warranty. All in all...you can't find a better convertible for the price.

Still love this car!

Was reading some other reviews and thought I'd put my two cents' worth in: Bought my Sebring new in May, 2000, and for the first 3 years only had put about 33,000 miles on it, using it every day but for a mostly local lifestyle. Then I moved about 20 months ago and have been commuting about 100 miles a day since then. My mileage is up to 73000+, and the car is holding up just great! I still love the exterior body style and stance of the car; the original top is in perfect condition; the car never has leaked; and has needed NO repairs beyond routine maintenance except for having to replace the front brake rotors, which warped due to my putting brake dust shields on the wheels.

Great Value for the Money!

This is my first convertible and I am very happy with it. I have 70000 miles on it and it looks as good as when it was new. Very few problems with the car, all were minor. Still no leaks. The trunk is great for a convertible and the back seats actually are comfortable. I keep thinking about a new car, but can't bring myself to get rid of it. On the downside, it could use a few more horses, but the car is very reliable. The top is still in great sheape. It still turns heads!

I have been looking for a convertible for a couple of years now... I'm no fast buyer. After alot of research I found the Sebring to be the best overall value taking into consideration purchase price, fuel costs, and INSURANCE. It is much cheaper than a mustang. So do your homework like I did and Run don't walk to get your sebring.

Hawaii was the perfect place for me to buy this car and I loved every minute of it! Although I live in Washington now and it isnt as fun, I look forward for days to put that top down. I have received compliments on how good it looks since the day I bought it. I will get rid of my SUV way before I get rid of my Sebring! The only problems I have had are changing the battery (behind the front tire) and replacing the alarm.

So far, so good!

So far, I have loved this car. I have only had it for about 3 months now but I could not have asked for more in a car for the price. If you are worried about appearance, this is a super-sexy car. I've read several reviews complaining about the wheels bending easily, but luckily, mine came with after-market wheels off the used car lot. My only complaint is that of the low front end. I find myself braking and cringing at any little dip in the road.

This car looks fast, but doesn't quite perform as advertised. The 170 HP is well under what I had expected. Recently, I replaced a bent rim...and I am constantly swerving from potholes. The transmission shifts in and out of overdrive for some reason, and takes a hell of a lot of time to get into overdrive on cold mornings (the dealership says that both are "normal conditions"). The front end of this car drags on anything, so if you buy one, be sure to keep your distance from parking blocks. My next car will definately not be a Chrysler, unless someone GIVES me one....BUY FROM HONDA!!!

I have had over a dozen flat tires over the past 2 years. All four tires take turns just randomly loosing air. The front end scrapes on the slightest incline. The brakes have been squeaking since day 1. I could never get the dealer to do anything for me. I'd love to trade my car in at the dealer I purchased it from and stick him with it but I can't bring myself to buy another Chrysler product.

Eventhough my '00 sebring conv. is getting older, I cant bring myself to trade it in. I have driven mercedes, BMW's, and camaros...none of them make me as content as my sebring. Everything in the interior is perfectly placed. The outside is eye catching, especially the chrome wheels. The two-toned leather is a very rare feature on any vehicle. The interior looks just as sharp as the exterior when the top is down. While a beamer or benz would be much more impressive, I am going to drive my sebring until it wont run anymore.

My transmission went out at 50,000. There was such a waiting list for chrysler transmission, that I would have had to wait for 10 months to get one. The Dodge dealership even told me there shoudl have been a recall on the transmission. I've had many brake problems, and my tires, which are brand new, already need replaced. Everytime I take it in for an oil change they suggest I flush my transmission fluid...everytime. When I wash my car, the water leaks through the seals TERRIBLY. I take great time to properly take care of my seals too.

This is truly a wonderful car! It's extremely comfortable, reliable, and great looking to boot! It's ride is smooth and controlled. I think the interior materials could look a little better, but they do their job, and that's what counts. It's steering is great, easy to drive. It may not be the most powerful car out there, but it has plenty of power on tap. The interior could be quieter, because even for a convertible it's somewhat noisy. But with the top down, wind buffeting is minimal. Conversation is kept at normal tone, even on the interstate doing 75 mph. Hands down..magnificent car.

I have spent more on rental cars than car payments this year. Kept it 16-17 months and had to eat about 3k in neg. eq. to get out of it. Every part of he computer system has broken down, bad wiring, trans, problems, you name it and not even at 36k yet. Paid for a worthless extended waranty from Chrysler that for some reason never covers a problem it has. DO NOT buy this car if you don't have a second car.

I HATE MY CAR . . . I knew it was cursed when in the first week, I had two flat tires and one bent rim. I had to replace the brakes and roders a month after I had it. Three weeks after that, the whole car had to be rewired, tuned up, and the transmission had to be partially rebuilt... I have my own personalized chair at my mechanics. The car looks nice on the outside but quickly costs you tons and tons of money. Chrysler is the king of accessories but depreciates minutes after it leaves the assembly line. I have two friends with the same vehicle and we all currently owe MUCH MORE money than it is worth... I really wish someone would steal it...

AC Compressor went 1st year, side windows do not seal shut (when closing door when weather is bitter cold). Tires expensive to replace. Front end too low must be careful not to scrape it In the shop now for possible speed sensor problem, transmission stuck in 2nd (the dealer calls it limp mode so you can limp it back to the shop)

With the Sebring, has anybody had a problem with the doors pulling off (falling)? The LeBaron's doors were too heavy for the frame and tended to fall. What about oil seals? The convertible top leaks...pretty much a given, eh? Electonic sensors (transmission)? Steering rack?

I have had a pretty good experience so far with this car. I have over 70000 miles on it and it is still going. The acceleration could be better. When the engine is cold, it takes a while to get going in the morning. I love driving it with the top down. When the top is up, it seems kind of little inside. I am a little clausterphobic anyway. The one thing I don't understandis...where is the ashtray? I don't understand. I have never had a non-smoking car before...ha ha ha.

what was I thinking?????

this is the worst piece of workmanship I have ever driven - and I've driven Edsels!! the front end scrapes on the slightest indentation in the road or driveway, it leaks oil, there is tar leaking from the bottom of the passenger door, the washers are always clogged...... I hate this car!!!!

I love this car!

I've always wanted a Sebring convertible since the first time I test drove one in 2000. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to afford one - till now. I was quite impressed with the deal I got at Gladstone Dodge and I love this car. The LXI Limited convertible is sporty, responsive, stylish and classy. Everyone who sees this car is quite impressed with the interior and exterior.

Bought new 3 Years ago. Good not great car. Great value for the price-fun top down experience. Handling so-so, cowl shake sometimes too pronounced and irritating. Needs more HP for the quick get aways. Cupholders, interior storage could be better. Reliability so far Ok, with some electrical issues and engine surging at around 30 degrees, high humidity. 5 Star service also so-so. Luke warm on another Chrysler purchase.

Don't depend on the car for acceleration. Many rattles and average road noise. Leaks every time it rains ( has been back to the dealer 3 times)

It's a head-turner. Everyone remarks at the good looks. It's a smooth riding, relatively quiet (for a convertible), comfortable car. Air conditioning is a bit weak to start but gains cool as it goes. Nice features, easy ergonomics.

I love this car

This is a great car for someone who wants an affordable ragtop. The 2.5 liter Mitsubishi engine is reliable and spirited. I expect it to last in excess of 200,000 miles. Buying my car one- year old with 27,000 miles, I picked up a former rental for just about half of what it cost new. My only aggrevations with the car are wind noise from the windshield header and a left-side A- piller drip when it rains.

Very poor construction and the quality of parts is bad. Brakes fell apart at 30K. I mean the rotors virtually fell apart. Tranny went at 50K. The car eats tires which is a sign of poor components.

This car has nickel and dimed me to death! I have had electronic problems, ie, the panic alarm goes off for no reason.. It had to be fixed twice in two years. The front end is way too low. It scrapes on parking curbs. I have had the transmission lock in low gear three times in two years. The rims have bent on three ocassions and I am a very cautious driver. It also has a very poor turning radius.

I love this car

This has to be the most fun car I have ever had. It’s stylish & attractive, roomy interior, enough room for 4 full size adults! Great sound system. Top is simple to operate, can be done by 1 female with no problems. Surprisingly quiet ride. Quick and peppy. Great gas mileage. It's very comfortable and fun to drive. We've had a little problem with tire and brake wear and when seemingly small things go wrong, they are quite expensive to repair; seems you can't just fix the broken part, you have to buy the whole assemblies, like the wheel bearing at 50K and A/C at 60K. My dealership service has been EXCELLENT.

The car has been reliable, but, at 36,070 miles,an injector goes bad and the dealer won't even look at it under warranty. Ride and comfort and noise and weather buffering are excellent, Roomy convertible. Small V6 gets you there just fine. My wife looks good in it.

This car is fun to drive and its sleek exterior design was a major deciding factor in purchasing it. The only drawback, which I was fully aware of and I compensate for in operating the vehicle, is the low front end. A strange note: it has a Mitsubishi engine! Nevertheless, I am one very happy Chrysler customer and wouldn't hesitate to purchase another one when the time comes.

Since the day I first got this car I have had nothing but trouble with it . I had a horrible oil leak ,Then blew a seal , I learned later that these cars are know for this to happen because they have cheap gaskets. I now have a horrible Transmission leak and the suspension is now crap. I will never purchase a Chrysler again.

I wish bought a Honda
