Question 1
Would a 2001 chrysler sebring 6 cylinder be a bad purchase or are they ok cars?...  

Answers
1)   I have been a chrysler tech for about 7 years and have just about seen it all my advice would be hell no but im sure there are plenty of happy sebring owners out there that would disargee I now work for Toyota and I would have to say that is the better choice it may cost more but in the long run your better off with a Camry or a Corrola maybe a Honda Accord or Civic Nissan Altima or Sentra. I know its bad to trash American cars like that and I hate to do it but those are the facts not all American cars are bad like that the sebring that year has a Mitsubishi engine if it has a 2.5L V6 witch had many problems like oil leaks from every point it had a oil seal and distributer electrical problems the 4cyl engine is the better way to go if you are set on buying a Chrysler car - Dennis

2)   they suck check out this website - chris

3)   not at all. Chrysler's are bad vehicles. check out consumer reports and look at their best used cars. - Ed Bermeo

4)   Ive had a Sebring for almost 6 months now, and i havent had one problem with it. Ive hit shit and been hit and there still isnt one dent on the body, its pretty durable. Its not exactly fast, well its not fast at all but i guess if you luck out like i did its a good choice - Matt Chionchio

5)   It would depend on how high the mileage is . Look at the oils to see if they are burnt. Does it smell inside the car? AC could be leaking. Get a compression test all should be fairly even and over 110, Look in the glove box for old maintenance records . If you can get a buyers kit from the DOT this will tell you the last three owners. If one of them owners is a wrecking yard , walk away , no run away. Because it has been totalled and has been patched up. - Donny

Question 2
Why does my Plymouth starts to shake at 50-55 MPH?...  I bought this Plymouth Acclaim for 400 dollars and we registered it and put a new muffler on to pass inspection etc.. The car runs great but once we go 50-55 MPH the car starts to shake horribly like a flat tire. Funny thing is under 50 it does not shake and it is smooth and it drives straight and when it is above 60 it is still smooth and it drives great. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you very much :)
No I don't see any oil leaks.

1)   Most likley the wheels need to be balanced or rotated. It could also be just old tires I had problems with my alignment and it was solved with a new set of tires and a balance which is usually standard with purchase. - Zeke1r

2)   Check the balance on all four wheels before doing anything else, and get them balanced if necessary. Also check the shocks, and if any are worn, replace them. Zeke is right about having the alignment checked, front and back, as well. Those three areas are responsible for almost all speed-sensitive vibration. - TitoBob

3)   You should probably get your tires balanced because sometimes a little bit of weight difference can only be noticed at higher speeds, other than that I can only think of an bad wheel alignment but I would probably check your tire balance first. Hope this helps. Thanks, Peace.

4)   I agree with titobob check the balance and the tires for flat spots shocks will cause that too maybe a bent wheel or a bent cv axle a bad bearing in the diff part of the transmission are you leaking any trans fluid? mud in the wheels,maybe some body put a used tire on the car and didnt get the water out of it check the simple things first - Dennis

5)   You might have a wheel weight missing from one of the wheels. Is the shaking mostly in the steering wheel or is it more noticeable in your seat? If in the steering your front wheels are out of balance and if you can feel it in your seat the rear wheels are out of balance or the problem is in the rear area. I would also think that if a CV boot is ripped all the grease will be gone, you can count on the CV bearings bad. - Donny

Question 3
Wanting to change halogen bulbs?...  I have a 2007 Chrysler Sebring with the 2.4L. I want to change the current halogen bulbs to LED. What I want to know is if I would be taking a risk of damaging a controller if there is one or wasting my time cause of a logic issue with the controller detecting the low amperage and shutting down the circuit? I have read that some cars have the CAN running the lighting system and I attempted the change with the high beam bulbs and the car would shut the circuit down while the car is in control.

The reason for the change is I wanted to utilize the LED bulbs in conjunction with my emergency lighting. I was going to put diodes in place to prevent backfeed to the car system.
Thank you for the input as far as the light not being legal but I'm seeking to replace 3157 & 921 bulbs with LED versions. Like I stated early my concern is the car systems (CAN) if it controls the lights in any way to damage the electronics of the car.

1)   The LED version of the 9004/9007 lamp is for fog light or daytime running lamp use only. Does not put out enough light power to be used as headlamps. - Mike B

2)   Mm... It maybe help. http://inhut.info/427915/emergency-light - kuczma leshko

Answers
1)   Most likely the trans is in "limp home" mode. Time to have the trans checked.

Any MIL codes on the odometer? Follow instructions at the site. - Mike B

2)   its in fail safe which is second gear can have one of several problems as in trans controller,input or output speed sensor or solenoid assembly if a check engine light on will help narrow it down but trans shop will help you out if it is indeed in first gear then only internal problem which means rebuilt - bo

3)   I'm more of an engine man but i had this problem in my 1999 dodge durango which is a Chrysler product but it sounds like a speed sensor you can try to fix it bu unhooking the negative battery for about an hour and putting it back on and taking it for a drive to see if that helped. - Bryce

Question 5
I have a 2003 pt cruiser. I have had the starter replace 4 times. Everyone says that is what the problem is.?...  Sometimes it won't start. Twice I have been driving it and it completely dies. Everything, including brakes and steering completely stops. The whole thing shuts off. It is sitting in my driveway now and won't start. What could this be?

Answers
1)   a starter wouldnt cause the car to die while driving, its sole purpose is to start the car. a bad starter would typically click once when u turn the key and thats it. whatever caused ur car to die while driving is probably related to it not starting. could be a bunch of things though, so i'd have it towed to a mechanic for proper diagnosis - Steven

2)   It could be the ground connection. Follow the wire from the negative (-) terminal on your battery to where it is attached to the body of your car...sometimes they get loose or corroded. - Trashy

3)   I believe that you have a bad ground connection unless you know where all the grounds are at it can get kind of confusing so unless you are confident in working on your own car i would take it it a local mechanic but not the same one you have been taking it to for the starter because they completely ripped you off with 4 starters because any real mechanic would know that a starter can not cause the random dieing the only reason to have a starter replaced is because it ether stops working completely or draws to many amps to work properly. so ya i think that you have a bad ground connection somewhere but i do not know where it is it could be lots of places - Bryce
