| The converible roof is unravelling at the seams, making it unsightly and dangerous. i had water in my foor in the back seats and an upholstery shop discover a defect in the manufacture of the body causing the leak. it has been successfully fixed. but the soft top roof to be replaced would cost $1250-. it is my observation that there are a lot of convertibles during the model years of 1997 (mine) and other years (1998- ?). i called chrysler and they noted my complaint but haven't addressed the problem to my knowledge. i think this should be a recall as i see it on many converibles. what if one of these tops were to tear loose? that's my concern!! | |||

| This car is garbage! i have had water leaks, had to replace complete fabric interior! the battery light now refuses to go off along with the engine light. i have gone through 4 batteries in a year, have replace the alternator and i still have problems. not one shop, along with a dealer, can understand why this car will not run properly. the dealer who sold me the car told me it was too late for him to do anything about it. i also have the same problem as everyone else with the seat belt, drivers side. it no longer connects together. dealer who sold me car stated the car was a 6 cylinder as does my title, found out recently that car is only 4 cylinder. *nlm | |||
