Faults:

Seat belt holsters are loose and slip out of the seat. Very ugly looking. The grooves are worn and I see no way of repairing this, other than replacing the entire seat. For now I just have some fancy scarfs tied around them.

At around 135,00 miles my check engine light was on. Upon getting it checked, I ended up having to replace the distributor system. Check engine light has not reappeared.

Now I am experiencing a slow crank start. I've been told by one mechanic it was a bad fuel filter, a $600 dollar job. Two other mechanics said it was a bad battery. So, of course I go with that and change the battery myself. The problem still exists. I was recently told that the new battery was bad. Had that checked, it was not bad so, I don't really know what my next move will be.

My ABS light has been on and my brakes began to wail and the pedal was cranking. I was told it was the rear ABS sensor. I removed that this morning and am going to try and find a used one because it's a $300 dollar part. Hopefully that works, guess I'll get back to you on that.

Overall, I have put a new engine and radiator in. Had brakes done twice, recently wheel cylinder, shoes, pads, and rotors.

General Comments:

This car has been very expensive to maintain. I don't know if it's because it's a Chrysler or if it's because it's an older car.

When I first bought it, a mechanic told me to get rid of it. I wish I had listened.

I did get me to Florida twice, I live in New Jersey...but...

I'm getting rid of it in the spring.

Faults:

Lower ball joints bad. Recall issued in 1998, 2000.

General Comments:

This has been a great car. No leaking or top problems. The previous owner took great care.

We keep all repairs up; good tires etc.

One thing Sebrings need to keep good performance is Seafoam every month. It's cheap, but prevents acceleration problems, and keeps the gas clean.

Don't use cheap parts; they don't like them, it causes other problems. Use OEM as much as possible.

I also have Jeep 94; great, very little problems with 207.000 miles.

Good luck to all.

Resistor blower.

General Comments:

After reading comments and reviews on the net, I got worried about this car. However my previous car, a Rover 75, which I still have, also got very negative critics and I must say that this car has given me 200.000 km trouble free riding...

The Sebring Convertible is a real joy to drive, and so far the car works very well. It's a smooth ride and a real headturner. As I only paid 5000 € complete with a LPG installation, I can't complain. The car uses 12 liters of LPG every 100 km, so here in Belgium this means that it runs cheaper than a small diesel;..

I hope that if this car is driven in the way that it was build for (relaxed cruising) and gets the appropriate maintenance, it will be just fine.
