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. I know, it shocks us too.
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.
