1997 Chrysler Sebring Coupe LXi review from North America
"A fast and sleek looking V6 dream"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Car horn stopped working after 100,000km. Defect is caused by positioning of horn which rusts when driven in wet weather. Avoid by reversing horn position. Reduces horn sound, but it won't rust.
17 inch Rims bend easily, and are expensive to replace. Avoid potholes at all costs.
Warning light for engine was on and off for first 60,000 km, then turned off and hasn't come back.
Electrical problems with lighting behind climate control consistent and doesn't go away.
Interior light above drivers seat stopped working at 128,000 km.
Factory tires are poor and wear quickly. Replaced with better low profile hard rubber tires, no problems since.
General comments?
No major problems with a car that looks incredibly hot and handles amazingly.
I've spun out on the highway at very high speeds, and have to say the low profile and aggressive stance saved my life. This car simply doesn't flip.
The cars engine is built by Mitsubishi not Chrysler.
This is a car you'll fall in love with.
