Model years to avoid

Chrysler Sebring

What it says about you

Opinion

A rental-counter default for a decade. Yours got somewhere and asked for nothing.

Not measured, not from the data, and offered in fun. Everything below this is not.

7 model years on record, 1,063 complaints filed.

The years to look at closely: 2008 (convertible), 2007 (stall). Everything else drew a normal number of complaints for this model.

What owners report, and when

Faults that dominated the complaints of more than one model year. Not the same question as which year to avoid — a car can have an ordinary number of complaints every year and have most of them be about the same thing.

  • electrical 2007, 2008 peak 18.2% of that year's complaints
  • convertible 2008, 2010 peak 17.9% of that year's complaints

Every year

  1. 2011 1 recall 3 complaints
  2. 2010 3 recalls 104 complaints
  3. 2009 2 recalls 45 complaints
  4. 2008 convertible 352 complaints
  5. 2007 stall 339 complaints
  6. 2006 2 recalls 138 complaints
  7. 2005 6 recalls 82 complaints
