1999 CHRYSLER CIRRUS Complaints

PAINT HAS BEGUN TO BLISTER ON HOOD. RUST VISIBLE ON UNDERSIDE OF HOOD, BUT HOOD NOT YET PERFORATED. CHRYSLER SAYS NOT COVERED UNLESS METAL HAS BEEN PERFORATED BY RUST.

THE CONSUMER WAS ABLE REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT IN PARK. THE CAUSE HAD NOT BEEN DETERMINED. THE DEALERSHIP HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED BUT THE PROBLEM HAD NOT BEEN RESOLVED. *PH *SCC *JB

THE TRANSMISSION SHUT DOWN WITHOUT WARNING. THERE WAS NO MOVEMENT AT ALL. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED. DEALERSHIP WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. PLEASE SUBMIT ADDITIONAL INFORMATION CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM. *AK *JB

THE TRUNK LIGHT CAME ON AND REMAINED ON WHEN THE TRUNK LID CLOSED AND LATCHED WHICH CAUSED A FIRE. *DT *JB

THE UPPER HINGE ON THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR HAS SNAPPED AND CAUSING A LOUD POPPING NOISE WHEN OPENED. I AM AFRAID THE DOOR IS GOING TO FALL OFF. THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOT BEEN NOTIFIED AS OF YET. I CANT AFFORD TO TAKE IT IN. I ALOS WANTED TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE FACT THAT I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE ENGINE DECARBED 3-5 TIMES. DEALER STATES THAT IT IS CONSIDERED NORMAL BY CHRYSLER THAT THE ENGINE HAS SEVERE CARBON BUILD UP AND THAT IT MAY SOME DAY CAUSE MY HEADS TO CRACK. I DONT FEEL THAT IS RIGHT AND I SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE IF IT DOES HAPPEN. GENERAL MOTORS OFFERS THEIR CUSTOMERS COMPONENT COVERAGE LETTERS WHEN THEY HAVE A CONCERN LIKE THIS WITH THE ENGINE TO SHOW THIER CUSTOMERS THAT THEY STAMP BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. I THINK THAT CHRYSLER NEEDS SOMETHING LIKE THIS.

CONSUMER STATE THAT TRUCK INTERIOR LIGHT WOULD STAY ON WHILE TRUNK WAS CLOSE RESULTING IN LIGHT BURNING ITEMS IN TRUNK. DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND REPLACE LIGHT. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION. PH

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON HIGHWAY 302 WHEN SUDDENLY THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE MOVED TO ZERO, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, THEN THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED TO FIRST GEAR LOCKING THE WHEELS ALMOST CAUSING A WRECK, ALL OF THIS HAPPENED WITHIN TWO TO THREE SECONDS NOT MUCH TIME TO SLOW DOWN. DODGE/CHRYSLER WOULDN'T COVER THE COST SINCE I BOUGHT A PROGRAM CAR AS IS NO WARRANTY, BUT BEFORE I PURCHASED IT, THEY DID A BUMPER TO BUMPER CHECK AND STATED EVERYTHING CHECKED OUT, THE VERY NEXT DAY AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR, THE REAR POWER WINDOWS FAILED, A YEAR LATER I HAD A FLAT AND THE COMPACT SPARE THEY PUT IN THE TRUNK WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR DIDN'T MATCH THE BOLT PATTERN, ON 12/26/02 THE PIN IN THE DIFFERENTIAL OF THE TRANSAXLE CAME LOOSE AND DESTROYED THE TRANSMISSION AND WILL COST $2,600.00 TO REPLACE. CHRYSLER SURELY OUT DID THEMSELVES WITH THIS LEMON AND LUCKILY FOR ME I AVOIDED TWO MAJOR ACCIDENTS, AND 15 TRANSMISSION SHOPS STATED THIS IS THE MOST COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE. I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU HAVE NOT MADE CHRYSLER RECALL THE DEFECTIVE SPEED SENSOR AND DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION WHICH CAN CAUSE A DEVASTATING WRECK WITHOUT WARNING. SCC ****DIMSII IVOQ ENTRY POSTED AFTER 12/12/02 CUT-OVER TO ARTEMIS****770796

I CONTACTED FIFTEEN TRANSMISSION SERVICE STATIONS INCLUDING COLEMAN TAYLOR THEY STATED THIS IS THE MOST COMMON PROBLEM OF TRANSMISSION FAILURE ON THAT MODEL OF CAR. PREVIOUSLY ON THE FIRST SCREEN I TRIED TO ENTER THE 17 DIGIT VIN, IT WOULDN'T ACCEPT THE NO. # IS [XXX] THE 9 AND 16 DIGIT COULD EITHER BE A O OR 0. *JB ****DIMSII IVOQ POSTED AFTER 12/12/ CUT-OVER TO ARTEMIS****770795 INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TRANSMISSION SLIPS GEARS, AND IT IS MAKING A VERY LOUD SOUND. CONSUMER HAD VEHICLE CHECKED, AND WAS TOLD THAT TRANSMISSION WAS SUPPOSE TO BE MAKING THAT KIND OF NOISE. BUT CONSUMER CAN BE RIDING ALONG AND CAN HEAR A LOUD SOUND. HE KNOWS THAT IS NOT SUPPOSE TO HAPPEN.*AK

PLASTIC PIECE THAT IS ATTACHED TO GAS TANK IS MELTING INSIDE OF GASOLINE PUMP, CAUSING VEHICLE TO STALL. DEALERSHIP IS AWARE OF PROBLEM.*AK
