1996 Chrysler LHS review from North America
"Good handling, comfortable, and "easy" on the wallet operating"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission rebuilt at 97000 miles.
Paint started peeling off roof at approx. 110000 miles.
Moon roof quit at 150000. Did not repair.
A/C evaporator started leaking at 155000. No repair.
Right tie rod needed replaced at 160000.
Tape player quit at 170000.
Had to replace spark plug wires at 185000.
General comments?
Vehicle handled like a dream. Went where you pointed it and acceleration was there for whenever the pedal was pushed. Still there after 197000 miles.
Other than reg. maintenance, the use of synthetic oil has kept the engine in excellent running order and very CHEAP to operate.
Interior of the vehicle is in excellent condition for the age and miles, with only a hole in the carpet where my wife's heels set while driving.
Mileage was always in the low 20mpg and would get as much as 30mpg on the highway.
Only complaint is the typical paint peel.
