Chrysler’s last for a long time.
My car is a used car. I barely got it back in February and it has not given me problems. My car is a Chrysler from 2009 and it still works good. I recommend for people who need a car but do not have that much money. Chrysler’s are not expensive if they’re from 2009. They're about 2000-3000.

It is dependable in all types of weather.
This vehicle is highly dependable in all weather as I live in northeast pa. Comfortable to ride in and easy to get in and out of. I only need to do regular maintenance on it.
accountCircle Paula T
It is a great, reliable vehicle and I enjoy driving it!
I have had my car for 4 years and haven't had any problems except to replace the thermostat! It is a comfortable ride and very reliable. It gets good gas mileage and I have the oil changed every 3000 miles or so. I have 126000 miles on it. The only problem is that the gas cover does not close all the way.
accountCircle Lynn B
It has good gas mileage and large trunk space.
No complaints. I like the compact size and the power it has for a small car. Also, the gas mileage is good.
accountCircle Sherry B
I love the way it handles on the road, whether I am driving in rain or snow.
The Chrysler Sebring that I drive has not had any problems. I do regular oil changes, no noises, drives and controls really well. I drive 35 miles to work even in the winter and it handles the roads very good. A lot of trunk space and is a comfortable ride.

My car is extremely reliable
It runs really well and I like how my car looks. I don't enjoy that the dash light has been out since 100,000 miles but that's honestly my only complaint about it. My car is extremely reliable and has kept me safe in so many situations. It was a well made car.

Electrical Issues are coming. Be ready to put lots of money into it down the line...
It was a good car at the start but over the last 2 to 3 years, the electrical system has been junk. I have had to replace with new batteries, new fuses, a new wiring harness, & a new alternator, all at different times. Now the drive train is starting to have problems (transmission & catalytic converter). It was good on gas mileage but not as good anymore.

The car I own is a very big car and I am very satisfied with the performance it has a great mileage and I just love driving it I can drive it all day long and my family also loves the car I hope you are understanding what I mean to say.

2009 Sebring, still hanging on.
It is a reliable car and is comfortable but I have had to put a lot of work into it, replacing old parts, cleaning corroded metal, etc. It is driven me across the country in 150, 000 miles though so clearly it is still performing well. I love the AUX cord feature for playing music over my phone and the seats are comfy.
accountCircle Antoinette M
Trunk space is large, room for 4 persons comfortably, engine is good.
Interior overhead is coming down, paint on doors and dash wears off easily, scratches over, wipers do not work properly stops and start, rear defogger/ defroster does not work anymore, mileage is over 100, 000 miles, rusting in several small areas, power windows on drivers side makes creaking sound when closing.
accountCircle Deborah C
Friends who have driven my SUV says it's easy to handle and very nice to drive.
Love it most of time comfort good mileage but a low ride to ground. Winter time in ct a little difficult driving on hills.

2009 Chrysler Sebring good economy vehicle.
I have a 2009 Chrysler Sebring. It's a luxury vehicle. We have a daughter so the four doors is nice. The trunk is definitely bigger than the average car. We went with this vehicle not only because it was in our price range but also the inside is extremely roomy. My husband is six foot three so we need a vehicle that is good on gas and comfortable for him to drive. The tank I think is 18 gallons so filling up once last quite some time!

This car was built by Mercedes. 2009 was the last year of Mercedes ownership of Chrysler
This is a great automobile. It is outdated in the technology field.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Megan S.

The Chrysler Sebring Touring is great on gas and well made. It runs great with proper maintenance. With the proper care, it lasts a while with minimal repairs. I bought mine used, with one owner and had it for approximately 4 years now. It has over 200,000 (mostly highway miles) and is just now having a few mechanical issues.

likeFilled Ellie T.

The size is nice as passengers can fit comfortably. The tank is large so I can drive a very long distance between filling up. It gets fairly good gas mileage. The car drive smoothly. It is a great size car for everyday driving.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Megan S.

The biggest problem I had with my Chrysler Sebring Touring is the cost of minor parts. There are some that can only be purchased through Chrysler and the price is ridiculous. The location of the battery is odd and fuses seem to go quickly.

dislikeFilled Ellie T.

The dashboard has needed to be replaced twice due to electric issues. It has an analog clock on the dashboard and does not automatically show a digital time on the radio display. The car also rusts easily especially in the Michigan winters.

How Reliable Is The 2009 Chrysler Sebring?

It sometime needs to have oil added and the power steering fluid check. And sometimes I have to add some.
Sherry L.
No problems whatsoever. Starts every morning and takes me everywhere. Just normal maintenance and replacement of wear items is all that is needed.
Dave A.
The only issue I've had is tie rods. The right front side tends to need changing every few years mainly because there are no specific parts only universal.
Paula A.
My Sebring is the most reliable car I have owned. I have had minimal problems since purchasing and would absolutely recommend this vehicle to friends and family.

Is The 2009 Chrysler Sebring A Good Value?

The value is great for the car. It was used when I bought it and it only had 88000. Miles and only cost 6995.
Sherry L.
I have no idea what it costs new. I paid $6500 for it 5 years ago, and felt it was a good price because of ours condition and low mileage.
Dave A.
It cost me used 16000 in 2011 and I payed 226a month until paid off in 2016. I believe it was well worth the money.
Paula A.
I paid $6,000 for my Sebring with 50,000 miles. For the amount of time I plan to keep this vehicle, the amount of time I spend driving it, and the minimal amount I have paid for repairs I think it is... Read More
