1996 Chrysler Sebring Convertible LX review from North America
"A fun car to drive, but not reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My horn and cruise control stoped working at 75,000 miles.
Had to replace the top at 103,000 miles.
General comments?
Considering this car has so many problems and faults, it is a fun car to drive when it is not being fixed.
I have another problem with the brakes. When you are on the highway and you have to apply the brakes quickly, the brake pedal gets stiff and it doesn't want to go down. If you keep the pressure on the pedal, the brakes work, but it throws the steering off a little bit. Only when you slow down to around 25 miles per hour does the brake pedal go down to its normal operating position, and the brakes work fine after that.
Has any one else experienced this problem on their car? Please reply.
