My door panel fell off. We had it fixed and about two months later, the buttons fell down in the panel.
My gas-line had to be replaced.
Two speakers went out after getting them replaced before we bought the car.
The driver's door handle broke.
The car shakes really bad at red lights.
The brakes are extremely loud and can't be fixed.
The windows leak in car washes.
The front end is way too low. I've messed it up 3 times already.
The car looks very nice, but it's not a good car.
Wow, with all of those things wrong, you would think you may have noticed something before you bought the car.
You don't understand. After buying a Chrysler, a self-destruct button is activated. The button has never been found, but it's there, believe me.
What is wrong with these darn side panels. Hasn't Chrysler seen a pattern of some kind? I have a 96 Sebring LX and it has been nothing but a waste of my hard earned money. My passenger side door panel fell off a week after purchasing the car from a Chrysler dealership. When I went there to see about getting a new one they told me that it would be $175 for the panel and an additional $150 to have it painted. I also had to replace the brakes 3 times, all the belts under the hood, and the thing bottoms out every time I go up or down a driveway. Do yourself a favor and stick with a Honda.
Sebring LXi Brakes:
Have the technicians check the specs of the ROTORS. They might be TOO thick (so, the are always in contact with the brakes which leads to unnecessary brake wear).
Good luck.
Man I feel sorry for you, but it's not the car or the manufactures fault it's the person you bought it from. I own a 97 sebring lxi (110625 MILES), and after reading your problems the only thing that I side with you is the front end nothing else. I haven't experienced the problems you have and I drive the car everyday.
I bought my Sebring about a month and a half ago and I have already spent a little over $900 fixing random parts and the worst is yet to come. My check engine light has come on and I was told it has something to do with the transmission.
I have had my 1998 Chrysler Sebring Lxi (fire-truck red) for 2 years and I bought it from a used car dealership and the ONLY problem I have had was with how low the front bumper sits. I am a girly girl and RARELY checked my oil and sometimes the "oil stick" was bone dry... then I'd add oil. So what I'm trying to radiate to the public is that the sebring is a good car if you take good care of it (or even if you don't take good care of it... like ME!!!) I wouldn't even trade my sebring for a bentley... OK that was a definite exaggeration.
