1998 Chrysler Sebring Coupe LX review from North America
"Reliable until 100,000 miles (in 2.5 val V6)"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Where do I BEGIN!!!? I must say first I love this car. Its stylist and sleek, but too much of a hassle.
Like the previous comments from others the brakes squeal no matter if they are new or old. They began to squeal at 65,000 miles and haven't let up since.
My driver door handle is broke and its not cheap to get another one to replace it.
I'm coming up on 100,000 miles and I need a tune up. Now there is an up side to have spark plugs that last 100,000 miles however the tune-up it self is REALLY EXPENSIVE! The average tune-up for this car in MI at Chrysler Dealerships and tune-up company's is around $400.00. No joke. This is only for the 2.5 val because they have to take the cover off the engine to replace the spark plugs. Three of them are not visible.
General comments?
Other than that the car drives so-so. The turning ratio SUCKS! Its not as smooth riding as the 300M. And the seating in the car is hard to get out of because the seats are sooo low. However this car has held to its bargain.
