CarComplaints.com Notes: After a horrific run of complaints and headaches, Chrysler introduced its 3rd generation Sebring starting with the 2007 model year. While there was a bit of complaint carryover, things eventually settled down and in 2009 the Sebring became one of the least complained about cars we have on record that model year.

If you’re shopping for a used car you could do better than a 2009 Sebring. But the fact of the matter is you could also do worse. A lot worse. And for that reason we gave this car our “Seal of Pretty Good.”
This is the third alternator that I have replaced in the last 100k miles I have driven the car. It's about 4 or 5 hours to remove and replace and requires removing a tire, the wheel well and unmounting the AC pump to drop the alternator out the bottom.
I had one alternator go on me and the dealer had replaced it free of charge. The rebuilt alternator went bad on me a few months later. I replaced that one myself with a new alternator I got online. To change out the alternator you have to disconnect a pulley and detach the A/C pump so that it will fit out of the bottom. Also for ease of repair you have to remove the front passenger tire and wheel well guard. About a 4 or 5 hour project.
