1995 CHRYSLER CIRRUS Complaints

WHILE PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY VEHICLE ROLLED BACKWARDS INTO THE STREET. AS A RESULT, AN ONCOMING VEHICLE COLLIDED WITH CONSUMER'S VEHICLE. IT WAS TOTALED. TWO MONTHS LATER CONSUMER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE TRANS AXLE FLOOR SHIFT. *AK

1995 CHRYSLER CIRRUS IS CONTINUALLY DOWNSHIFTING INTO 2ND GEAR AND STAYS THERE. I HAVE TRIED TO HAVE IT FIXED AND TO NO AVAIL. THE SOLENOID PACK WAS REPLACED TWICE AND THIS DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THIS WAS A COSTLY "REPAIR" THAT ACCOMPLISHED NOTHING. I EVEN GOT A SECOND OPINION FROM AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND IT WAS IN ERROR ALSO. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT THAT IS EVIDENTLY BEING EXPERIENCED BY MANY CHRYSLER OWNERS. *AK

WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED THE CAR WILL JUST LOSE POWER, START SLOWING DOWN, THE RPM WILL RISE TO OVER 5000 RPMS. HAVE TO DRIVE AT UNDER 40 MILES/HR JUST TO TRY AND KEEP THE RPM UNDER 4500. THIS IS SCARLY WHEN YOU GOT KIDS IN THE CAR AND ON A HIGHWAY. THIS HAS BECOME AN EVERYDAY PROBLEM I COULD JUST START THE CAR AND THE RPM WILL RISE FASTER THAN THE SPEEDOMETER AND WONT GO DOWN, OR I COULD JUST BE DRIVING AND IT WILL HAPPEN FOR NO REASON AND YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN. I HAVE LOOKED AT NEMEROUS CAR REVIEWS RELATED TO THE THIS MODEL AND YEAR AND IN ALL OF THEM EG HTTP://WWW.CARREVIEW.COM/MIDSIZE-COMPACT/CHRYSLER/PRD_230_1531CRX.ASPX#REVIEWS. JUST TO MENTION ONE AND IN ALL OF THEM SEVERAL PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, I ALSO TOOK TIME TO READ SOME OF THE COMPLAINTS YOU HAVE RECEIVED OVER THE YEARS AND FOUND THE SAME THING. WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THIS ISSUE WAS LOOKED INTO AND WHAT CAN BE DONE TO CORRECT IT. AS ALMOST EVERYTHING HAS BEEN TRIED TO NO SUCCESS FROM CHANGING THE COMPUTERS TO NEW TRANSMISSIONS, STOPPING AT THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND STARTING AGAIN. HOPING TO HEAR FROM YOU SOON. I WOULD BE WILLING TO ALOW YOU PPLE TEST DRIVE MY CAR AND GET A FEEL OF IT FIRST HAND. THANKYOU IN ADVANCE.*AK

WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT CHANGE GEARS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP WHO INFORMED THE CONSUMER THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT WORKING. ALSO, THE VEHICLE WOULD OVERHEAT ON A REGULAR BASIS. THE CONSUMER CLAIMS THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER 9 TIMES FOR COOLANT PROBLEMS. *LA

WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH VEHICLE VIBRATED. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE BODY SHOP FOR INSPECTION, AND MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE REAR RIGHT SIDE BRAKE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, AND REPLACED IT. HOWEVER, PROBLEM RECURRED. *AK

THE TRANSMISSION THROWS ITSELF INTO NEUTRAL AT NO NOTICE, HAVE TO SHUT CAR OFF AND RESTART. WHEN PUT ON COMPUTER SHOWS CAR IS FINE TO DRIVE. BUT REALLY UNSAFE VERY CONCERNED. FOUND THAT OTHER PEOPLE THAT OWN THIS SAME MAKE AND MODEL COMPLAINED AND EVEN AFTER PURCHASING NO TRANSMISSION PROBLEM PERSISTS. *JB

I HAVE A 1995 CHRYSLER CIRRUS, V-6 ENGINE WITH 82,000 MILES. I HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR SINCE AUGUST 2003 AND HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO RESOLVE IT. ANYTIME I DRIVE THE VEHICLE FOR PERIODS LONGER THAN 20 MINUTES IT WILL JUST STALL FOR NO REASON. WHEN THE PROBLEM HAPPENS IT IS AS IF SOMEONE HAS TURNED OFF THE IGNITION. THE CAR WILL RESTART AFTER SEVERAL HOURS BUT NOT BEFORE AND WHEN IT DOES RESTART IT IS AS IF NOTHING WAS EVER WRONG. THIS CAN HAPPEN AT ANY SPEED AND IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN IT HAPPENS ON THE INTERSTATE. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER AND THE RESPONSE WAS " OUR EDUCATED GUESS IS THAT IT IS THE DISTRIBUTOR AND FOR $1,000 WE WILL REPLACE THE DISTRIBUTOR, WE ARE NOT SURE THIS IS THE PROBLEM BUT OUR BEST GUESS IS IT IS". ANYTIME I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED INTO THE DEALER OR ANY OTHER REPAIR CENTER BY TIME THE CAR GETS THERE AND IS EVALUATED THE PROBLEM HAS WENT AWAY JUST TO ARISE A DAY LATER, A WEEK LATER, OR SOME PERIOD OF TIME LATER. NO OTHER REPAIR CENTER WILL AGREE WITH THE DEALER THAT THE PROBLEM IS THE DISTRIBUTOR, AND THEY ADMIT THEY JUST DO NOT KNOW SINCE THE PROBLEM CANNOT BE REPLICATED WHILE THE REPAIR SHOP HAS THE VEHICLE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A PREVALENT PROBLEM WITH THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE AND ENGINE FROM CHRYSLER AND ITS JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED FROM A VEHICLE STALLING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC IN THE MIDDLE LANE ON THE INTERSTATE. *JB

I HAVE A 1995 CHRYSLER CIRRUS THAT KEEPS STALLING, EVEN WHILE TRAVELING AT SPEEDS OF 60 M.P.H. THE CAR JUST STALLS LIKE THE IGNITION WAS TURNED OFF, BUT IT WILL RESTART RIGHT AWAY. I HAVE HAD IT IN TO THE SHOP SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY KEEP REPLACING PARTS BUT IT DOES NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THEY SAY THAT THE COMPUTER DOES NOT SHOW AN ERROR CODE FOR THEM TO KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. IT IS GETTING EXPENSIVE REPLACING PARTS THAT THEY THINK ARE THE PROBLEM AND THEN THE PROBLEM CONTINUES TO EXIST. *JB

I DON'T HAVE TIME TO GO BACK THROUGH THE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS WORTH OF RECEIPTS FOR THIS LEMON THAT HAS HAD EVERY MAJOR COMPONENT FAIL MULTIPLE TIMES. THE LATEST IS THE 3RD TRANSMISSION FAILURE SINCE 1995.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR 08/12/03. I PAID 8800.00 FOR THE CAR. I BOUGHT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY PLAN FOR 1 YEAR. DUE TO ALL THE PROBLEMS I WAS HAVING I RAN A CARFAX REPORT AND FOUND OUT THIS WAS A RENTAL VEHICLE WHEN PRO CAR BOUGHT IT AT THE AUCTION. THE MANAGER DENIED KNOWING THIS. I TOOK THE CAR IN ON 8/15/03 BECAUSE THE STEERING WAS TIGHTENING UP AND POWER STEERING WAS NONEXISTENT WHEN GOING UNDER 10MPH. SERVICE MAN TOLD ME STEERING RACK BUT THEN THEY TOOK THAT BACK. CAR WAS OVERHEATING, AND SOMETHING WRONG WITH IDLE. THE DEALER COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND SAID THAT OVERHEATING WAS NORMAL UNLESS IT WAS GOING IN THE RED. TOOK IN 08/21..SAME PROBLEMS AS BEFORE BUT NOW TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. CAR WOULD NOT DOWN SHIFT AND WOULD POP OUT OF GEAR TRAVELING DOWN THE HWY DOING 65MPH..CAR WOULD INSTANTLY SLOW DOWN AND HAD TO IMMEDIATELY PULL OVER ALMOST GETTING IN AN ACCIDENT TWICE. NOW WAS OVERHEATING INTO THE RED. CALLED 08/25 ONCE AGAIN THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE PROBLEMS. WENT IN 08/26 DROVE THE CAR WITH SERVICE MANAGER. OVERHEATING OCCURRED AGAIN. THEY SAID A FAN WAS UNPLUGGED...SHOWED THEM IDLE THEY SPRAYED WIRES DOWN WITH WATER. SHOWED STEERING PROBLEM, THEY REPLACED POWER STEERING RACK. TRANSMISSION DID NOT ACT UP AT TIMES BUT NOTHING WAS DONE WITH THAT. 09/18/03 TOOK CARE IN WHILE TRANSMISSION WAS OUT OF GEAR. THEY FIXED A SOLENOID PACK. PICKED UP ON THE 19TH ON THE WAY HOME CAR SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR AGAIN. CALLED THEM AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD SEND TO TRANSMISSION SHOP. 10/14/03 TOOK TO RICKS TRANSMISSION SHOP. REPAIRS DONE ON TRANSMISSION. PICKED UP CAR ON 10/15. 10/17/03 CAR BROKE DOWN IN PARKING LOT. TURNED KEY NOTHING HAPPENED AT ALL. PASSERBY SAID DUE TO WORK ON TRANSMISSION THIS WAS MOST LIKELY A NEUTRAL SWITCH THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE REPLACED. 10/20 TOOK CAR INTO PRO CAR AGAIN. EXPLAINED TRANSMISSION PROBLEM AND LEMON LAW AND THAT I WAS TIRED OF THE CAR AND DID NOT WANT IT. MANAGER NOT WILLING TO DO ANYTHING.
