What should rpm be at 70 mph on a 04 Chrysler sebring?

There's no single answer to what the RPM should be at 70 mph for a 2004 Chrysler Sebring. It depends entirely on the transmission (automatic or manual) and the gear the car is in (for manual transmissions). Even with automatics, different gear ratios exist between different models and engine options.

To find out what your *specific* Sebring's RPM should be at 70 mph, you'll need to:

* Check your vehicle's specifications: Your owner's manual will likely have a chart or graph showing expected RPM at various speeds for different gears (if manual). If automatic, it may provide a general range.

* Observe it yourself: Drive at a steady 70 mph on a safe, level road and check your tachometer. This provides the most accurate reading for your car.

A significant deviation from what others report for similar Sebrings *could* indicate a problem (like a slipping transmission or incorrect tire size), but it's not necessarily indicative of a fault. The best way to know if your RPM is within the normal range is to consult your owner's manual or observe your own car's behavior.
