1997 Chrysler Sebring Convertible JXi review from North America
"Funnnnnnnnn"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
OK, in having this car, which I bought from my mom about a year and a half ago, I have put it through a beating... I drive it hard an fast. It is a beautiful car. I never really had any major problems until I reached about 120K miles. My mom bought the car with 81K miles on it and only replaced the brake pads once.. I had to replace them again because of the way I drive it I am hard on them. The drums have yet to be replaced. Now for the problems: Thermostat, vacuum leak, head gasket, tranny is starting to studder when downshifting and is not shifting out of first until about 4K RPMs, and then just basic maintenance.. overall, with the amount of beating I put the car through it is great. Now, I am 18 and already have 3 speeding tickets on my record with this car because I cannot tell how fast I am going because the ride is really smooth.
General comments?
To sum it up, I love this car. Handles great, and easy to work on, only problem is parts are hard to come by because it was not built for mods. If anyone knows where to find HEADERS for this 1997 Chrysler Sebring JXi Conv. 2.5L V-6 please email bugattimillion@yahoo.com with the subject "Headers for Sebring" thanks and my name is Jason.
