1996 Chrysler Sebring Convertible JXI review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I bought the car I had a 20A fuse (starter, ignition) blows every now and then. It turned out to be the starter shorting.
Had the timing belt replaced and water pump.
Car would stall every now and then while you would drive it. It would start right back up. It turned out to be the crank shaft sensor.
Had a knocking noise and had front end work down to it. Rocker arm, bushings, and tie rod.
The transmission made a loud clunk when I put it in reverse and know my reverse, drive, and 2nd gear are out. They said it would be a $2,200 repair.
General comments?
My Sebring convert. was a fun fast car.
Over all I enjoyed it for its size and comfort.
Probably the best domestic convertible built in my opinion in the last 8 years.
This car has a lot of mechanical problems and isn't made to be driven hard.
