My convertible top will not go down
Why won't my car go 120mph it cuts out at 105.?
Placing the battery under the headlight has to be one of the most peculiar engineering decisions that I’ve seen.
265,000 miles on my 2009 Chrysler Sebring. One tune up and alternator change along with brakes and tires. Best car I've ever owned!
My sub frame is rotten on my 08
@@Joshbo5H can you upload a video? I have an 08 too
6 cylinder or 4?
Best car I ever had
@@Joshbo5H don’t drive it tell it breaks. My subframe broke on my 2004 Cav and it wasn’t even that bad ;)
You just answered all 5 of my issues that I'm having with my sebring.
Thank you.
Time to make a list and get it fixed.
I have that thumping noise in my dash....I'm so glad I watched this 💖
All these people have great personalities. I don’t even have any of these cars
I have a 2008 Sebring hard top convertible with the 3.5. A few times, this car has had some very violent bucking during acceleration. It's hard to fix what isn't broke at the time, but this experience has made my wife not want to drive it. When it happened to me, I tried different levels of acceleration to see if I could get the car to go. Very light acceleration helped but it was now where near good enough for the wife. This is a rare occurrence but needs to be fixed to be safe.
Perfect my friend that all cronic problems right. But you missed one item thats dashboard light problem
Looking into purchasing one of these. So these are good things to look for when i go to get it.
The problem we keep having is the bushing going bad in the shift linkage. Had to replace it in 2018 (when the car was 8 yrs old) and we're having to replace it again 4 years later. We do have the actuator issue too but don't know if it's worth worrying about. Overall, it's been a decent car (bought it used in 2016). The thing I hate about this car is where the battery is located. What were they thinking?
I must have been pretty lucky. I have a 2010 Chrysler Sebring Touring with the 2.4L VVT engine. I bought it in 2012 with 36k on it, and as right now I have just under 215k. A year and a half ago, I replaced the strut assemblies at all four corners, lower ball joints, and tie rod ends. Besides the typical brake pads and rotors over the years, the only so called breakdown that I’ve had was the top radiator hose blew apart at the plastic junction where the radiator cap sits. Still gets around 30mpg when I’m not in a hurry. I’ve used nothing but full synthetic oil since I bought it, and flushed the trans shortly after hitting 100k. Still drive it to work every day.
One ghost issue that just popped up is my right front turn signal bulb won’t light up. Changed to bulb and it only lights up at half power when the parking lights are on, but goes completely out when I turn on the headlights. New bulbs didn’t fix it, and I even swapped the bulb sockets and bulbs from each side, and the right side still does that. Maybe turn signal switch on the column? Sometimes when I go to bump the lever for a 3 flash right turn, the left turn signal will light flash.
That's when it was under the Mercedes banner Chrysler corporation don't make good cars. But when it was under Mercedes it was pretty good that was before Fiat took control now they just horrible except for the V8 versions of their cars which is the best
@@AnthemBassMan I have the 2007 2.4 base model the I bought a year ago for 2000 and it only had 123k on it now it has a 126k on it
Sooo I have a 3rd gen. Convertible.... I have have had every single problem and I think you just helped me figure out my current problem.... The throttle body
Really helpful!! Throttle body and Blend door Actuators for me haha thanks!!🙏💯
Dude you are so entertaining. Great video
Man, this guy nailed almost all the issues I’m currently having with my Sebring. There’s also that P2004 intake runner stuck open. 😪Great video!!l
+Billy Z Thanks for the feedback!
How did you fix it?
Awesome video, only suffering from issue number 4 lol, engine started knocking, I'm about to pull apart, it's a 2010 2.4..sebring 204,000 miles.. love this car..
I own a 08 convertible softtop sebring with 179k km and it's going strong! Just changed turbo due to it having problems with it's housing and it's breaks. It's a very fun car to drive and not as complicated or chaotic as ppl make it sound
Thank You for the video ❗️I have the A/C condensation problem I thought it was the heater core at first.
+DeVante' Brown Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
God bless you Sir. Spot on❣❣❣
You just described my issue with my wheel bearing on my 08 Grand Caravan last week. Of course I had it replaced.
Now my van doesn't want to consistently start. Just clicks. The starter is 2 years old.
If it’s clicking your starter is not the problem. More than likely a loose electrical cable or battery issue. Clean your batter terminals as well...you want no corrosion.
I’ve got new tires,balanced. Still over 55 car shimmies. Could that mean bad tie rods? Maybe bent shaft? Love my car. I don’t want to trade in my Sebring sedan 2010. One prior owner. Bought it 6 yrs ago. Has always shimmed a little. Otherwise mint condition. Only 80,000 miles still in 2021. I take good care of my car very fussy 😩
I just bought a chrysler sebring 2007 today,I hope it gets from point a to point b with smooth ride
Me to now
Had it for a couple weeks been having problems with it turns on and then turns off
I have a 2009 and bought it in 2011. 149 thousand miles and It’s been running great for 10 years . Very reliable car for me
My 2007 Chrysler Sebring is falling apart.. about a month ago my horn randomly went on and would not turn off until it finally died. At the same time as the horn the windshield wipers started going and then the trunk popped open. I'm not sure what wire I pulled but now the windshield wipers don't work and the heater doesn't even work.. it actually lights up but does not come out the forces of the fan it's been raining and very cold and I'm in my car alot . It's become my home at this point so if you could help me and my dog out that'd would be
amazing
Very interesting, is there a possibility to have a video about Sebring Hardtop convertible drainage system cleaning for leaking tops?
Would like to know where the drains are positioned and how to clean to prevent leakage
Mine is a 2009 Sebring limited convertible hardtop
I got same problem.. water leaking on the side of the passenger front seat..
I had the same exact Sebring, color and all and it also had the same A/C Actuator problem too 😂 I was always banging on the dash and it would sometimes fix the problem 😂😂
Mine doing same thing,want to buy it got 5000 in it 😂
I think more likely the tapping noise stopped on its own, as it does every time, after about 15-20 seconds, and this just coincided with your pointless banging on the dashboard
He is so gorgeous 🤤 I couldn't even focus on the mechanical 🤣💕
Hahaha 😆!
🤢
U have bad taste
WOW!!! YOU’RE GOOD!!!!! Thank you!!!!
My friend has a Chrysler Sebring convertible 2008. It started having a problem with the rear passenger side turn signal burning out quite often and she kept replacing the bulb. Eventually the rear driver side turn signal started doing the same thing. She went to the auto parts store to get a replacement socket and the ones they had were too big. They told her that they stopped making the part for her car. Any suggestions about what can be done to fix this problem?
I have a 2010 Sebring convertible and I noticed the car if I let go the wheel will pull to the right. I have rotated the tires from front to back diagonally at front end alignments it's still does it. What could it be?
I just got a 2010 Chrysler Sebring touring model which is a convertible. Also. The convertible top won't go back. It says malfunction but all the windows and everything else will go down and then they'll go back up when I go to put it back. I do have a problem with the directional air actuator that you just talked about in this episode, so I guess I need to get a new one of those when I turn my blinker on to make a right turn. My dash lights will either brighten up or dim which is for my gauges and all that. Have not a clue what is up with that and I have a rough sounding noise when I go to take off when I let off the throttle a little bit. Then it sounds normal. If you kind of got an idea about what I'm asking and we're talking about, I would appreciate as much advice as you can give me... Thank you for your help in your time and I love watching all your episodes. It is very informative and makes things a little easier on where to start!!!!

Cool video ! Ps i have Sebring limited 2009 Convertible Hard Top
I dont have no more heat on passager side! Some tell me Heater core ( if it's was heater core how come it work on driver side??)and some say's Actuators?? Please can you give me your opinion ?
I have a 2007 Sebring. At night when turning right the dash lights will go off temporarily. Also the wipers won't turn off unless I pull wiper control arm down (for the once swipe). Any suggestions? Thank you
Alternator for the dash lights
Having issues with my radio cutting out with no sound coming from the speakers just just crackling noises and this happened after replacing the struts on the car. Wondering if it’s likely the radio or if a ground wire could’ve been effected when replacing struts. Any advice will help! 2007 Sebring touring 2.7L
Can you do a video on wireless control module for Chrysler Sebring 07? Thanks
Can you
Very little heat comes out of the vents on mine. Both hoses to the heater core are warm not hot. The engine temp needle goes up half way when the car gets warm and stays there. Coolant level is within range. The blend doors seem to work. Where is the heater control valve if it has one?
Definitely help me out thanks brother I’ll let you know if I have anymore problems damn you nice
Was this on the 4 cylinder? Or the v6? Or is it all the same with all the motor layouts for these cars
I have a battery light on my dash. I checked the battery voltage and it is the correct voltage. The belt to the alternator is set at the correct tension. All wires to the battery and alternator are secure, clean and in good condition. What other issues may cause the battery light to turn on my 2010 Chrysler Sebring? Thanks in advance!
That means your alternator isn’t charging
This has to be one of the mostly poorly built cars I've ever had the misfortune to own.
I wish I had someone to tell me this cause I bought my First car and it’s this exact car and it has been hard to say the least
I have a 2009 chrysler sebring touring sedan one fog light works the other does not changed the bulb and nothing still and not sure what fuse it would be it does not show for headlights and fog lights
I’ve got a 2007 Sebring 3.5 liter v6. Over heating while driving at 55mph. It also stoped blowing hot air in the cabin. When I stopped and popped the hood open the radiator fans where on. The top radiator hose was hot. That’s all the trouble shooting I did so far. Any suggestions where I should go from here.

Change your thermostats....there are 2 in this stupid car
@@eddiewhittington9687 We did that a few months ago. It was fairly easy to replace the entire housing with the two thermostats. If this mom can do it in the dark with the assistance of her 23 yrs old son, anyone can do it.
I have a 2007 Chrysler Sebring touring sedan 2.7 I pressure washed my engine and 2 days later I turn on the wipers and they were barely moving. I replaced the wiper motor and I still have the same problem. Can you tell me what's wrong please
Have a 2010 Sebring seems to hesitate a little about 60 to 70 mph and the other day has a red lighting bolt show up on the dash and the lights seem to dim a little in the cab when say I roll up the window all the way
I have an 2008 chrysler sebring 2 door, and the car stalls almost everytime I go in reverse and try breaking. Is this the throttle body?
Can you do and 3g eclipse 🤔🤔🤔
So is there a recall about the airbag light on that's on my cluster board for 2010 chrysler sebring?
It may fix that. My airbag light never came on, but I had the recall issue fixed shortly after getting the recall notice. No charge for it being done since it was covered by Chrysler. Have the recall taken care of. The only thing you’ll be out is your time without your car. Mine took them a day to get to it. Dropped it off on morning and picked it up the next.
I have a 3rd gen Sebring and I keep replacing the thermostats same code keeps showing up is there anyway to resolve this
I have a 2008 Chrysler Sebring with a low ABS Module voltage fault the fuses has be replace and I am still getting fault. Do you have any suggestion on this problem ( C2116 CODE )
What about window motor/assembly?? My 2007 has had BOTH SIDES front go bad! Replaced the driver side twice already, passengers side once. Now the driver side quit on me again 🤦♀️ Also my buttons on the driver side are not working properly
Hi, My car currently bouncing from side to side when passing over bumps, is it normal?
My coolant light came on I fill up with coolant, if it looses fluid again then what
Only a Top 5? For the Sebring I was expecting a Top 50 😂
Lmao my car and the exact same color
🥰I love it though i just need to learn more about the engine.
Lol SAME
What you need to know?
08 Sebring I have no head lights tail lights blinkers. I have one auto light that come on and a front left blinker and a back right blinker that's all I have working would changing the multi switch fix that issue.
I'm having trouble finding the fuel filter do i have to take the gas tank down
It's under the back seats....
2007 it quit working after a battery replacement, what ca i do?
I've always had a soft spot for these Sebrings, as I am a previous Chrysler 200 owner. If you're going to buy one, please don't get the 2.7. The 2.4 and the 3.5 are great engines and have minimal problems. While this is great information, I still can't figure out why this guy pronounces vehicle with an R in it.
Mine is a 2003 Limited convertible, bought at 72k miles in 2006; 2.7 flex engine. It has been great. From the day I got it, the dash lights only came on when they felt like it. now, at 118k, they almost never come on. I'd like to fix that myself, if my bad back allows. The tranny didn't leak a drop for years - until I had a 'service' done - then it leaked 34 QUARTS in a year (3k miles).
The driver door is rusting badly at the bottom - as I've seen on several other Sebrings. I'm guessing there are clogged drain holes. My new problem is the water outlet box (?) split in half minutes after an oil change. The new housing is $73 and a tech wants $110 to flush & diagnose the system. I'll be doing it myself!
i replaced my fan motor blower but after a couple of weeks wheneva i put my ac on high it doesnt blow. next to high is fine but in this texas heat i like riding in high a/c. what do u think might be the problem. i have a red sebring 2010 like the one in the video, funny thing aint it. awaiting yo reply

Any troubleshooting for a no crank / start ? Checked battery is good and starter and fuses all good . Car is lost power completely doesn't even click or show any lights when key turn like it's lost all power

No you don’t need fresh air from the outside you just open a window, mine broke so I took my whole dash apart in my 2004 Ram 1500 and also pulled the blower motor and made that door permanent so it can’t open or close works great.

I’m having a problem with my 2008 Chrysler it cranks then falls dead cranks then falls dead then it cranks and is fine but once driving and the car is off it takes a while for the car to crank again can u tell me what’s the problem it doesn’t have a check engine light on also
None of my electric windows are working. The lock switches on the driver side don’t work, but the passenger lock switch does. Windows don’t work anywhere. Any ideas?
Most reliable car I've ever owned & witnessed personally. BUT. The electric system is weak. A simple dead battery turns into a huge electrical issue.
Not to get off track,i have an 05 Sebring convertible, with the 2.7, and im a stickler on keeping my fluids clean, especially the oil.oil ports are small and can clog if oil is too dirty.the dealership knows i dont put 3000 miles on oil.if i have 50 or 100 miles on the it, it still gets changed in 3 months. Every 2 yrs. For other fluids,even tramission. I only have 22,000 miles on it. Still smells new. I guess sebrings are becoming collectibles. Saw a antique care seller, with 5 different stores, and they had 2 of them on their lots.my dealership is bugging me to death, about selling it. I tell them no not interested. I don't take this out in rain,or snow.the body and underneath stll looks like new,
What do u do after your engine thing come on in the car. PS I have same one same color
Go to a mechanic
Can I check a recall at any time as my car is 2010? My seat belt comes on when driving.
We have a 2010 Chrysler Town And Country and it used to make that thumping noise but my mom got it fixed
Hey man I have 2010 Chrysler Sebring and when I turn it on it almost sounds like rod knock and when it idles the sound goes not away but it quiets down a lot, and when I am driving and stop at a stop sign or red light it starts jerking and try’s to die on me, any ideas ?

I have a 07 sebring base model 2.4 basically the car doesn’t start up first try anymore and when it does it has all its power but when I put it in drive it will limit the power Acting like a limp mode and can’t go past 50mph and the check engine comes back as multiple random misfire but the motor doesn’t sound or feel like it’s missfiring ? Could this be the throttle body having issues or fuel pump needs to be replaced ?
I just brought a 2006 chrysler sebring and when I hit the lock button on my key to activate my alarm system the beep sound low what is the problem
Do you have any videos on how to replace the alternator on a 3.5 liter chrysler sebring 2010?
It's simple take off black plastic motor cover off top of motor,.disconnect negative battery cable!Only a couple bolts and pulley tentioner.check serpentine belt for cracks best to change it there's a belt diagram under hood .youtube or Google it.saves you alot of money!

I had recently purchased a 2005 Chrysler Sebring 4 door sedan 2.4l 4 cylinder I want to say it's the base model. I've replaced the crank shaft position sensor, spark plug wires, new battery, checked my fuses, and relays. I still can't figure out what's going on. the car won't go over 36 mph, it's almost like it's in limp mode. the one time i actually had it above 36 mph, it didnt seem like it wanted to shift, if there is anyone that could help me out, i sure would greatly appreciate it.

Was driving down the HWY, battery light came on. Car seemed to even get more quiet once this happened. Drove approximately 7-10 miles to home. Turned the car off, didn't need to go anywhere for the rest of the evening so the car sat overnight. Next afternoon tried to start, nothing. Tried to jump start, lights came on but still wouldn't start. Mechanic changed battery, still wouldn't turn over. It acted like it wanted to but Mechanic said it was the starter. Mechanic changed starter, at his shop. Now he's saying my motor is locked up. Said he tried to turn crank shift, would only turn 1 full turn and lock up again, front or backwards. It seems there was an odor of possibility something burning electrical after arriving home on 1st day and after battery was changed, tried to start. I am at wits end. Mechanic is trying to tell me to just get new car? WTH, he also says that he hooked it to computer, it is telling him nothing? What do you recommend? 2010 Chrysler Sebring touring.
Did you get your car fixed?
Omg I have the noise when I turn on my ac then turn it off it knocks like your video

+Step-Hen Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Anyone know of oil leak problems on this car?
Yes. These engines run hot, and with a PCV system that barely flows enough air to pull moisture out of the crankcase, it doesn’t take long to create an oil sludging problem. As sludge and varnish build up inside the engine, it can restrict the small oil passages that deliver oil to the crankshaft bearings, increasing the risk of oil starvation and bearing failure.
...I have a 2009 Chrysler Sebring. On the driver's side, the car isn't LEVEL.It drives great,but,it is lower on the driver's side and HIGHER on the passenger side. The front and back on Driver's side than passenger side
I have a 2008 that won’t shift so I can’t go pass 40 to 45 or it will idle to high
Did u fix this problem ?
