I have a 1999 sebring convertable and it has a defective top. The top is leaking and the glue holding in the back window is deteriorating. I'm afraid the back window may fly out. Chrysler is not owning up to several complaints about the defective tops and two other customers have already had this happen.
1999 Chrysler Sebring Convertible body complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 15 of 15, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Trunk lid in raised position will suddenly drop closed.
Doors and body dent very easily. This is my second sebring convertable, and my last, sad to say, because I don't think the sheet metal is thick enough. This could have been a beautiful car, so fun to drive with the top down but the dings and dents are everywhere! Looks like a washboard! Also, several problems with electrical system. Check engine light comes on all the time and the dealer says there is no problem with it! Try telling that to the person you're selling the car too! Also, for such an expensive car, you'd think they'd make the convertable top to last longer. In both of the sebrings I owned the cloth top had to be replaced within the first 3 years!
Consumer states when the convertible top is down, there is a boot cover that protects the top when it is down and is only held on by 2 small pieces of velcro, the velcro is so small that it does not hold the cover on, while driving, the boot cover blew off and consumer did not realize it until after she was home, the manufacturer was not willing to assist with replacing the cover, consumer later learned there was a recall (99i004000) regarding this issue.
Vehicle has been in the shop 4 times since bought six months ago. First: housing holding electric motor comes loose allowing fan to tear radiator. Second, sensor light comes on. Third; ais motor fails while vehicle travelling 60 MPH. Motor controls idle speed while deaccelerating. Failure cause computer to kill all power to vehicle. Vehicle lost power steering, power brakes, and all electrical including lights and swerved into oncoming traffic at night. Fourth: speedometer will not work and vehicle will not shift gears.through out ownership, there has been black tar dripping out of doors, dealer has addressed this problem 3 times only to have it reoccur.
