We’ve had a Chrysler T and C van for two years now and like most everything about it. Despite all the bells and whistles, nothing has gone wrong yet, but just to be safe, we bought an extended warranty.
Only thing that bugs us to death is the clunky transmission. It was a recall computer issue which was supposedly fixed, but it keeps popping up on occasion. Unless/until they make improvements with the transmission, we probably wouldn’t buy another one.
Chrysler gets beat up on reliability, but the one I had, a 1996 Chrysler Sebring Convertible JXi that I bought used in 2000 ran like a champ until I got rid of it in 2009. had over 170,000 miles on it when it finally was time for it to go and the only repair I had to do to it beyond routine maintenance was replace the head gasket at about 120k.
And that was a first model year car. I can’t speak for every car they built, but my experience was a relatively positive one. I replaced it with a used 2004 model and that car was indeed junkier and far poorer designed, rattled constantly, engine was notorious for coolant leaking etc.
I was disappointed to hear that they will no longer make a convertible version of the 200 (what replaced the sebring). I was planning on looking into a hardtop convertible of that model in a few years.
