1996 Chrysler Sebring Convertible JX review from North America
"With all the little problems that come with the car, I absolutely love it and will keep it forever!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My head gasket blew at 68,000 miles.
The remote control for the power mirrors no longer activates the passenger side.
The stitching around the convertible top broke into pieces at 58,000 miles. When the top is raised a lowered it rubs against the belt molding on the drivers side, near the trunk lid causing it to wear through.
The brakes need to be replaced every year.
The shock supports for the trunk lid no longer hold it open.
Wind noise is very bad between the passenger side window and back glass.
None of the replacement moldings fit the windshield post as they should. I was told by the dealership only about one out of ten ever does.
There is a loud rattling noise coming from underneath the car that no one seems to be able to identify. It doesn't seem to affect the performance.
The defroster connection has broken loose from the back glass on the passenger side.
