Service and parts data

Common and chronic problems

• Intake manifold gasket failure (notably on 2.7L V6)
• Timing belt replacement critical at recommended intervals (2.4L engine)
• Electrical issues with instrument cluster and door modules

First checks

• Check intake manifold gasket condition on V6 models
• Verify timing belt service history on 2.4L engines
• Inspect automatic transmission fluid condition and level

Before replacing parts

• Save fault codes and freeze-frame data before clearing anything.
• Check engine oil, coolant and transmission fluid using the correct temperature and service procedure.
• Verify power, ground, connectors, hoses, leaks and live data before replacing expensive parts.

Important notes

• The 2006 Chrysler Sebring concluded the 3rd generation before the full redesign for 2007.
• Technical specifications vary between sedan, coupe, and convertible versions and by market (mainly North America vs. export).
• 2.7L V6 engines were phased out after 2006 in some markets due to emissions regulations.
