I have a 2001 Sebring with 178,000 miles on it. Do I have a timing belt that has to be changed. Or can I leave it alone?????

The 2.7 has a chain. As for replacing it, tough question. That is a lot of miles and they seldom break but can stretch. Hopefully we will get another opinion.
Change it asap. You are almost twice the recommended interval, do the water pump at the same time. Congratulations, keeping the 2.7 serviced as you have will continue it's longevvity!
