1998 Chrysler Sebring Convertible review from North America
"Love car, just want it to run right"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The engine is missing at low speed and at high speed. I've just had new plugs and wires installed. I had a fuel filter put on. The garage is racking it's brains. So am I. I love it since it is a convertible and looks great. I just don't know where to go from here. Whether distributor or distributor cap and rotor?
One Dodge dealership said they'd had a couple that needed the distributor replaced. The gas pressure runs at about 48 unless you kick it down and then it drops considerably. But I'm not pushing the car when it skips. Someone else suggested it needs the transmission fluid changed. It's bad enough that I don't dare drive it out of town.
It does shudder when it hits a bad bump, but I'm supposing that a convertible is not as well stabilized as other cars. I'd sure like to get this skip or miss dealt with, for I love this little car. RL.
