1996 Chrysler Sebring Convertible JX review from North America
"Nice car, but seems to have some flaws in design"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I get a flicker in my headlights and the light on the dashboard that looks like a car battery comes on from time to time. I have replaced the battery and the alternator and the problem still persists.
The top is coming apart at all seams along the edges.
Head gasket blew at 52000 miles.
The rear window defogger electrical connection on the window on the right side broke off, I assume from constant lowering and raising of the top.
Rear window defogger started coming on by itself without engaging the switch. I finally had to remove the fuse to ensure it would no longer come on.
General comments?
Has anyone experienced the problem with the flickering lights and battery warning coming on? I replaced the two major components, battery and alternator and niether has corrected the problem.
