“Our car will shift perfectly one day and don't want to shift the next second for np reason, we have replaced the modulator.. Coolant temp sensor.. We have also even recabliorated the shifting pattern and still have this problem.. Is this going to keep happening or is there something I can do to fix it. We did a diagnostic on it and the transmission was good.. I don't know what else to do.?”
NHTSA complaint #10453166, filed 2012-03, 35 miles“I bought a 1995 Chrysler Cirrus lxi and for the first little while it was great, then all of a sudden I was driving down the road at 62 MPH and the car shifted into neutral I slowed down to about 30mph and it dropped into gear but it would not shift from first gear. Now sometimes it will shift fine and other times it will not shift at all. And my A/C quit working and the RPM gauge stopped working at around the same time as the shifting issues started.”
NHTSA complaint #10261432, filed 2009-03, 140,000 miles“I've had my engine checked back in may of 05 by the dealer they said it was engine misfire,the distributor ignition was bad. They charged me $321 just to check it,then I paid $276 to get it fixed. The car has had a drip ever since. In the past 6 to 8 months or longer I've had a drip from the engine that can't be fixed , I recently had my car worked on it was in the shop for a month it cost me $2500 to repair and it still has a leak. …”
NHTSA complaint #10156496, filed 2006-05, 122,150 miles“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.”
NHTSA complaint #10088438, filed 2004-08, 80,000 miles“Rpm's running high, transmission slipping, rough idle, ABS light consistantly on even after inspection, gear slips when placing into park, while driving the car reversed on its own. Have complained and wanted into another car due to having this one on a 24 lease, they denied me and have had to drive it and with 3 children and myself in the car it is not safe, but is the only transportation we have. We need help resolving this problem.”
