Chrysler 300c 3l D Service Manual
Michael answered 5 years ago Teresatn: The Sebring is not a great car. As for the convertible, it depends on the year, and which engine you get. The earlier convertibles were based on the Mitsubishi Galant platform.
The later ones were based on the Chrysler sedan platform. The Sebring has always had 2 different platforms under it, one from Chrysler for the sedan, and one from Mitsubishi for the coupe. The trouble is they all have the 3.0 V-6, and that is a torqueless wonder, and an oil burner to boot. The transmissions are the Chrysler Ultradrive. Basically, no, it will not be nearly as good as car as your Crown Victoria. It will break more often and cost 3 times as much to repair. Canalbreath answered 5 years ago I have a 1999 jxi convertible and besides routine maintenance, brakes, bearings, spark plugs and wires.etc, have only needed one major repair which was the cranksensor I changed it myself for under $250.
In about an hour and a half( I'm not a mechanic). I have the 2.7 mitsubishi engine. Prior to 2004 they were made in Mexico.

The Chrysler 300 is a rear-wheel-drive, front-engine, full-sized luxury car manufactured and. In Europe and Australia, the 300C was available with a Mercedes-Benz 3.0 L diesel V6 engine.

2004 to present in Sterling Heights Michigan. I woukd at the factory where they are made and have not heard of any major recurring problems. Samuel answered 5 years ago Is it as reliable as a Crown Vic? Is it a good car? Depends on the year. The convertibles had the 2.7L Chrysler V6 from 01-06. It did have oil problems due to sludge build up (not oil burning problems) but those began to be fixed in 02 and were completely gone by 04.
The Sebring does not use the Ultradrive transmission. It uses the successor, the 41TE. A lot of failures reported in these transmissions resulted from people using Dexron instead of the ATF+4 it was designed to use. Another problem with it was that when the computer would throw an engine code, the transmission would go into 'Limp Home Mode' and only utilize 2nd gear. The coupe was the only one to get the 3.0L Mitsubishi V6 from 01-06, and it was a torqueless piece of import garbage. Sparky222 answered 5 years ago Teresa you have to trust your instincts. There is much misinformation about autos, and using a consumer publication like consumer reports is probably the best route, also providing price guidelines as well.
That said, I have owned a 2000 JXI and currently a 2006 Touring Sebring. Seven years in each with NO problems. Just the usual brakes and tires. Samuel mentioned maintenance, and I agree completely. Following regular oil changes and the heavy duty maintenance schedule works wonders.
Neglect and abuse are the demons, whether you purchase a new or used. I agree the early 2,7L engines were prone to sludge, and using synthetic oil (I do), regardless of year will help here. IMV, the years worth avoiding were 2007-11 when the Daimler design was prone to electrical, mechanical, and body problems, which the new Fiat liason corrected. Comparison of crashworthyness is important what ever convertible you choose as well, as even though the 2006 and earlier models had only 2 airbags, the weight and design were favorable for insurance claims.

BTW I had several full size Ford and Mercs before the Sebrings, and although comfortable, were not nearly as fun, reliable and practical. (you can carry ladders, mattresses, and microhoods with the top down) Did I mention 27mpg? Kimberly answered 4 years ago I have a 2006 sebring convertible. I love this car plain and simple. I bought it used in 2009 with 62,000 miles on it.
Knock on wood and pray to whatever deity that's up there I have had minimal problems with it. All I have replaced is the battery, alternator, water pump and timing belt.
My big repair was when my timing belt snapped. However and a big however, this is my fault because I never replaced it at 90,000 like I should have.
It broke on the highway and thank god my valves didn't get bent as usually when this happens its pretty huge. She's got 128,000 on it now and is showing no sign of slowing down. Its not a fast car but I didn't buy it for its pedal to the medal power.

It is mechanically sound and looks good with the top up and down. I would get another and another and another. LarryTX answered 4 years ago I had a 1997 Sebring convertible. The only weak point was the lousy Mitsubishi engine. I got rear-ended (while stopped) by an F-150, and knocked over 50 feet with both feet on the brake pedal.
Then I bought a 2006. It has the Chrysler engine, and runs great. Zero problems, easy to carry on a conversation even with the top down. I will buy another. Regarding 'Toyota' comment above - my son-in-law is a police accident investigator. He got rid of my daughter's Toyota the moment they got married, and put her in a Dodge. He drives F-150, BTW.
He calls most Japanese cars 'death on wheels', as he sees them and their occupants crushed when they strike an American car or any solid object. Recent accident: Honda Odysee crossed CL and went full head-on into F-150. It literally flattened the Honda, and wrapped it around the F-150. Honda driver dead at scene.
F-150 driver was able to walk away with relatively minor injuries. Sparky222 answered 4 years ago Replacing components before failure can certainly prevent inconvenience, but can also create new issues. I suggest following the severe duty service schedule in your manual. Timing chains normally last until rebuild.
Timing belts on japanese engines often are replaced earlier than 90k. Here are links to purchase service manuals if yours is misplaced. Owners/manuals/ or www.techauthority.com under manuals and catalogs, and through your dealer service department. Sorry about your bumper cover.
