1995 CHRYSLER CIRRUS Complaints

DRIVING AT 45 MPH VEHICLE LOST POWER. TURNED KEY BUT ENGINE WOULD NOT START. MECHANIC STATED THAT CAR COMPUTER WAS DAMAGE DUE TO FAULTY DISTRIBUTOR. A REPLACEMENT COMPUTER WAS PUT INTO VEHICLE BUT IT TOO WAS DAMAGE. AFTER CONFERRING WITH DEALER, IT WAS DETERMINE THAT A FAULTY DISTRIBUTOR CAUSE COMPUTER TO FAIL. I HAD TO PURCHASE A DISTRIBUTOR AND COMPUTER TO FIX PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THAT SUCH A DEFECT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AND BE CLASSIFIED AS A RECALL. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION ON THIS MATTER.*AK

CONSUMER WAS NOT AWARE THAT THE SUPPORT BEAM WAS REPLACED PRIOR TO OWNERSHIP. *MJS

CAR RETURNED TO DEALER FOR 4TH TIME FOR BRAKE FAILURE. IN THE PAST THEY HAVE NOT FOUND ANYTHING WRONG. NOW, MASTER CYLINDER TO BE REPLACED FOR 2ND TIME. BRAKE SHOES AND PADS WERE REPLACED FOR SECOND TIME SINCE 10/97 IN 02/00, AND ALREADY SHOW EXCESSIVE AND UNEVEN WEAR AND NEED REPLACING AGAIN. EVEN THROUGH TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE, THE ABS WARNING LIGHT HAS NEVER COME ON. THIS CAR IS A NIGHTMARE!

WHILE DRIVING AT 35 MPH VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONT END ACCIDENT, AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. DEALER HAS NOT BEEN CONTACTED. *AK

HYDRAULIC NOISE UNDER HOOD AS BRAKES APPLIED, BRAKES FAILED TO STOP CAR, CAUSED MINOR CRASH, LEAKING MASTER CYL REPLACED, BRAKES FAILED AGAIN TWICE, CHRYSLER REPLACING COMPUTER MODULE GOVERNING BRAKE HYDRAULICS, WOULD NOT CONFIRM THIS WOULD CAUSE BRAKES TO FAIL

MY 1995 CHRYSLER CIRRUS, WITH 92,000 MILES, HAS HAD SOME ENGINE DAMAGE IN RESULT IN AN FIRE ERRUPTION. MY CAR SPENT 5 1/2 MONTHS IN AN CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND WHEN I GOT IT BACK IT RAN FOR LESS THAN 30 DAYS. IT HAS HAD MULTIPLE FAILURES INCLUDING ELECTRICAL, ENGINE, AND VIBRATION. I FOUND THAT THIS CAR RUN FINE UNTIL THIS INCIDENT. IT HAS ALSO COME TO MY ATTENTION THAT NHTSA HAS A RECALL 96V006 FOR THE SAME VERY PROBLEM THAT I AM EXPERIENCING. PLEASE HELP ME AND MY ATTORNEY TO RESOLVE THIS MATTER. THANK YOU, CATHY GIFFORD MY ATTORNEY IS MARK STEWART, 300 SOUTH COLLEGE ST., WINCHESTER, TN 37398. ( 931-967-4303)

THE HEADLIGHTS ARE WEAK. DO NOT ILLUMINATE BRIGHTLY, AND ILLUMINATION DOES NOT REACH FAR ENOUGH DOWN THE ROAD. LIGHTS ARE OVERDRIVEN AT 25 MPH. REFLECTORIZED STREET SIGNS AND OTHER VEHICLES ARE NOT VISIBLE UNTIL TOO CLOSE FOR SAFETY. ILLUMINATION LEVEL ON HIGH BEAMS IS BARELY ADEQUATE FOR A LOW BEAM SETTING. *AK

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY HEARD A RUBBING NOISE. PULLED OVER, AND TWO REAR TIRES WERE TURNED IN. CONTACTED DEALER, AND WAS TOLD THAT UPPER CONTROL ARM BROKE BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT PROPERLY LUBRICATED. WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT DESIGNED WHERE CONSUMER COULD REACH TO LUBRICATE. IN ADDITION, VEHICLE WAS MAKING NOISE WHEN PUTTING IT IN REVERSE, AND WAS NOT ABLE TO STEER CAR BECAUSE POWER STEERING PUMP SEAL WENT OUT AND FLUID LEAKED ONTO THE GROUND. *AK

I FEEL THAT IT IS IMPORTANT FOR THE NHTSA TO MAKE AN INVESTIGATION TO THIS MATTER FOR PREVIEWS ATTEMPTS TO CORRECT A KNOWN PROBLEM, THEY REPALCED DEFECTIVE PART NOT GETTING RID OF INICIAL PROBLEM. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT CAN CAUSE REAL DAMAGE IF NOT EVEN POSSIBLE FATALITIES PLEASE I URGE YOU TO TAKE MATTERS INTO YOUR HAND. NO SAFETY DEFECT (S) MENTIONED IN SUMMARY. *AK

SEAT BELT ANCHORAGES DID NOT RETAIN OCCUPANTS DURING A COLLISION. DUAL AIR BAGS DID DEPLOY.*AK
