I dont see the problems everyone has??? - 1996 Chrysler Sebring
By money1973 - December 11 - 2:00 amI bought my JXi w/ 74K miles on 11/01 and thought I would have the typical "Chrysler" problems. 13 months later has 89,300 and I couldnt be happier. It ALWAYS starts and never left me stranded. Temps can get to -15 in winter and the 2.5 V6 always starts instantly. The only repairs, new wheel bearings and tranny cooler lines. The valance on the bottom of the rear window has separated from the glass, but the its only an appearance item so no water leaks. I do dread the $1300 100,000 mile tune up and timing belt change. I dont baby my cars and this JXi just keeps running. Could I have the only reliable Chrysler Sebring JXi ever built??!! LOL!

I LOVE IT - 1996 Chrysler Sebring
By Miles - October 18 - 2:00 amI have had my 96 jx with four cylinder for a year now and have reached the 100,000 mile mark and stil going. I have had only minimal problems and love the car very much.With preventive maintance as with anything you can keep these cars from reaching into you wallet.I would not listen to heavily to the reviews that are completely negative.The sebrings are roomy convertibles and comfortable to drive.

Can be a good car.... - 1996 Chrysler Sebring
By sjp - July 17 - 2:00 amI am at 107,000 miles and still rolling. I just replaced the timing belt and all the belts. I did have to replace the brakes up front early on but I have been lucky so far. I like the car but I can see where the maintenance issues could be a killer for this vehicle.

Good car, bad Service - 1996 Chrysler Sebring
By xxx - June 12 - 2:00 amI bought it at 40k miles, with extended warranty (excellent idea, as it turned out) and I only had very minor problems with the car. However, all dealerships I dealt with were so incompetent, it took a lot of effort each time to have the car fixed (e.g. 3 visits time 3-4 days each to have the sunroof fixed, 3 visits to have the wheel hubs replaced, 4+ visits for an intermittent no-start problem (they replaced a lot of things, but it was a $12 fuel shut-down relay, etc.) If you know a reliable mechanic, buy this car, its fun to drive. Otherwise, stay away from it.
