1998 Chrysler Sebring Convertible JXI review from North America
"Job security for Chrysler mechanics"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The numerous problems with this lemon started immediately and never quit. The motor mounts were replaced, the air conditioning compressor and heater coil went out, the electric seat motor went out, the ignition and entire radio had to be replaced. The computer was replaced twice to correct a fuel problem. It still did not work. The car stalled if I took a corner too fast. The dealership suggested I cross state lines to purchase my fuel because the reformulated fuel in my state "just wasn't working for this car". The car was in the shop 22 times in 3 years.
General comments?
If the car would not have been a mechanical nigthmare, I would have kept it forever.
