Water pump seized the first day I had it.
A/C compressor locked up and blew the clutch.
Carburetor never worked right, even after two rebuilds.
Rusty floors.
Trip computer never worked.
I liked the car itself, very comfortable, and lots of trunk space for a convertible. But the 2.6 Mitsubishi engine is garbage. It's the only engine I ever saw mechanics refuse to touch! I'd recommend looking for one with the Chrysler four (2.2 or 2.5)
I have a 1983 Woody Lebaron with 180000 mile never had to fix anything yet. But wear items, tires, oil changes, ect. What a good car this has been> K cars were some of the better ever built. 28 MPG.
Own a 1983 2.6. (woody convertable). Car had sit some ten years. Had trans rebuilt by trans shop, Chrysler dealer installed new shocks and struts for me no problem and windshield wiper links. Car is GREAT, Drive it every day, What you taking about? One bad car does not them all bad. Try another mechanic. Love mine, its fun to drive and gets 28/29 mpg.
I have a 1982 Dodge 400 Conv with the Mitsubishi engine. Starts right up and gets 28 MPG, runs great. Won't win any drag races but with gas at $4 a gallon who cares? Great car and for 26 years old still looks beautiful. Looks like a 70's Dodge Magnum they shrunk down, love the car!
