1998 Chrysler Sebring Convertible Reviews - Page 3 of 14

Other than the expected things for up-keep, there have been only a few problems. The first was the driver side, rear power window would only close half way. Needed a new window motor.

I took the car in for a 100,000 mile check up because of a ticking noise coming from the engine. The cam shaft had a crack in it and needed replacement. $2,750.00 parts and labor. This was my most expensive repair.

The leather interior has held up very well and after all these years, and looks pretty much like new.

The convertible roof stitching is rotting out in a number of places, though there is no internal water leaking, so far. We plan to keep the car so I will be replacing it soon.

If I could get a newer convertible, 6 cyl, Sebring to give me the same good, dependable service this one has, I would buy it in a second. The gold body and tan soft top is a head turner. It is one sharp looking car, even at 10 years old!

Trunk lid lifts wouldn't hold the lid open, replaced for $30.

Transmission starting to leak, need to add small amount from time to time.

Handles very well, quick acceleration and hugs road.

28+ MPG, very reliable, low maintenance, best car that I've ever had.

Almost 11 years old, never had a car this long before, love it, looks great.

I wish I had researched this site before I purchased my car.

Tie rods went, had to replace those.

Rim/tire problems.

Passenger seat won't go front/back.

Door panels falling apart.

Rear view mirror - can't really explain this, it is a piece of crap putting it lightly.

Window off track on the driver's side.

Tires can come off the rims - special Chrysler design.

Window won't work on passenger side.

Engine light constantly coming on.

Alternator had to be replaced.

Must remove front driver tire to replace battery, etc and so on.

This is the worst car I believe ever made.

I always have taken this car to the dealer for repairs, even the simple ones, and spent top dollar because I believe a car should be taken care of, got oil changes right on schedule. None of that matters with this car, this car is not good for 80k+.If you have one that runs great after that, then that is truly an anomaly, trust me.

Most parts are "special" order, meaning they cost more than every other car, and must be specially ordered. You may think you have a mechanic buddy who can work on this car on the side for cheap... LOL forget about it, it ain't happening. The engine is stacked, not a good thing for any mechanic nor your pocket book.

Chrysler should be ashamed for what they have done. Chrysler designed the front end too low, and stacked engine for aesthetics... not practical for the average driver. To date I have not met one mechanic who has had anything good to say about the functionality of this car, other than it looks good.

This is an absolutely beautiful car, it is sleek, and just sharp, however it's like that porcelain doll grandma has sitting on the cabinet, or that model plane grandpa has on the wall; nice to look at, but you can't play with it, or it will break!

If you seek a reliable car to get you from point A to B on a regular and consistent basis with little maintenance, this is not the car for you.
