1999 Chrysler Sebring Coupe LXI review from North America
"Great"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Overall, I'm very pleased with my car. It has been very dependable and maintenance free.
The previous owner obviously took good care of it, and I try to do the same.
It came with all service records, and has still never had any motor or transmission work, other than fluid changes.
I put a new timing belt and water pump on it at 100,000, just to be safe, but it didn't need them.
Motor runs smooth and strong for a 2.5L, transmission shifts great, brakes work great.
The turning radius does suck, I do agree with that, but that's not a defect.
My lower ball joints are just starting to creak, and I notice that's a recall issue I will have to look into.
Everything works as it should on the car, with the exception of the drivers door mirror, which is no longer powered, but who cares... I'm the only one who drives it, so it never needs to be moved.
Either everyone else doesn't maintain their Sebrings, or I got an unusually good one, as the only issues I have are the low hanging front bumper air dam, and the poor turning radius. I got over the first issue by making myself back into parking spots, instead of pulling into them and bashing the air dam.
