Year / Model Reviewed: 1996 sebring convertible JX
Summary: I wanted to buy a convertible for a while, an finaly found the sebring, I liked the way it looked, nice looking car, but I was very sceptical about buying it becouse I had 2 other chrysler vehicles in the past and nothing but problems with them constant machanical problems, I said to myself maybe I get lucky on this one, everything is working fine car rides nice so I bought it, boy was I wrong I just bought another lemmon. two weeks after purchase ball joint snaped off I could have been killed but after a week off caling chrysler headquarters they coverd the repair bill almost $4000.00 since then I had to replace the transmition al kinds of electricale problems horn, crouse control, electric window controls, electic trunk opener, fuel gage sending unit. I am afraid to take this car out on the street becouse somthing else might brake. I try to take good care of my cars, regular servce chage oil every 3000 miles, but this car seames like it is posesed. Chrysler no no no never ever again.
Strengths: good looking car fun to drive with the top down when not in the shop beeing fixed.
Weaknesses: lack of relaiabilaty constant machanical problems.

Summary: This is a great car I have had nothing go wrong with it. All I have done is the regular maintaince. Changed Timing belts, water pump, and all belts at 75,000 miles do oil changes every 3000 miles. I have put over 50,000 miles on this car and only changed the pads and rotors ONCE. So I don't know what all the fuss is about the brakes. I see most of the problems with the Sebrings are with the conv. and sedan models. The coupe models are assembled by Mitsubishi and have a Mitsubishi powertrain. It also has the same instrument cluster and dash as an Eclipse. The tires are a little expensive because they are high peformace low profile tires. The goodyear Tires that came OEM on this car are crap I replaced them with Michelin Pilot Exalto A/S but they were not cheap $245.00 each, but well worth the cash.
Strengths: The engine in the coupe will move I will tell you the speedodometer goes to 150mph and the car will do every bit of it. The car is stylish and all around the best car I have owned.
Weaknesses: None to really complain about. The sideview mirrors are a little small.

Summary: I saw this car on the showroom floor, and just knew i had fallen in love! The car was so new that there had only been 2 other Sebrings sold in our area, and actually didnt even have a sebring on the lot, only the one in the show room floor, but i had to have it, so i bought that one! Biggest mistake ever! I wanted to cry the day i brought it home! I drove the car off the show-room floor and before we got it home, the damn transmission went out. The Horn had two different horn tones (weird i know) If you pressed both buttons on the steering wheel, they were two different tones which together sounded like a freight train! The alarm went off one day and my husband had to disconnect the battery to get the thing to turn off! We kept hearing a rattling noise and the fan fell from the bottom of the car that night! The brakes were a mess, and kept taking it back to Chrysler to get it fixed, and got the run-around. I was adding brake fluid to the car everytime i drove it! So many things happend to it that i cant even remember them all! I know that one time i was driving and everytime i stopped, and tyried to take off, it would cut off between me taking my foot off the brake and onto the accelerator. Sometimes it would not start,i finally just gave up on it and got rid of it 2 years of owning it. Horrible car, never again will i buy a chrysler
Strengths: very attractive car
Weaknesses: Everything about it! Too much to name

Summary: CRAP!Look out folks!! After 100,000.KM.
the 2.7 litre engine will die on you and could leave you stranded anywhere.The oil ports are too small which cover over with sludge and overheat.Eventually the timing chain will break and destroy you engine leaving you with a $9000.00 to $11,000.00 bill to enjoy.The manufacture will not tell you about these problems.
Strengths: NONE
Weaknesses: everything
Similar Products Used: never again
