1998 Chrysler Sebring Convertible JX review from North America
"still love it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Ignition/starter fuse keeps blowing out.
Brakes squeak loud.
Low oil censor light stayed on all the time.
General comments?
I love this car and get a lot of comments on it. It handles very well like a sports car. Has a great CD sound system. It is very comfortable.
I read a lot of reviews about the Sebring before I bought this car. Many on all the electrical problems, but I went ahead and bought it anyway. The low oil censor light was taken care of by the dealership at no cost to me. The squeaky breaks I can deal with. However this fuse thing is driving me crazy. The first time there was no power to the ignition I had it towed to the garage. They replaced a fuse and sent me on my way. It ran for 2 days and did the same thing again. I have replaced the fuse 5 times and every time I go to start the car it blows the fuse. I do not want to pay another tow and garage bill for a fuse. Any suggestions? It is still sitting 6days now while I try and figure this out and I am not a mechanic. They want $170 just to locate the problem.
