1996 Chrysler Sebring Convertible JX review from North America
"This car is junk, do not waste your money on it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Odometer quit at 70,000.
Transmission started slipping at 90,000.
Speaker covers on front door got smashed at 50,000.
Windows leak when in heavy rain at 50,000.
Flywheel changed at 80,000.
General comments?
The seats in the front are comfy.
The speaker covers on the front door are positioned in a bad place, feet tend to push the door open all the way from there, resulting in broken speaker covers.
Seat covers? Forget it, way too much work, you have to remove the seat belt from underneath the trim on the side of the seat, and cut the cover for the seatbelt that's in the middle of the seat.
The holes for the pins on the flywheel are supposed to be circles; these were oval instead.
The windows leak right where the top joins the front window under heavy rain, and will soak your lap, not to mention if you smoke, you cannot crack the window without a stream pouring onto your leg.
The transmission started slipping after about 90,000 miles with regular maintenance/fluid changes.
