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. IT'S BACK THERE AGAIN BECAUSE IT NEEDS THAT EXPANSION PLUG AND RETAINING BRACKET THAT ONLY THE DEALER CAN PROVIDE ACCORDING TO EVERY SITE BUT THE PLACE THE CAR COMES FROM. I'M ALSO HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WHICH I'VE HAD SINCE I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE. BECAUSE I NEED A SHIFT MECHANISM AND CABLE FROM THE DEALER ACCORDING TO EVERY SITE BUT WHERE THE CAR COMES FROM. A FEW OF THE PROBLEMS THAT ARE ON THE LIST I'VE EITHER GOT FIXED OR GOT AN ESTIMATE FOR.(ONE ) OF THE PROBLEMS ON THE LIST ,THE DEALER SENT SOMETHING IN THE MAIL AND I GOT IT TAKEN CARE OF BY THE DEALER,IT WAS THE( TRANS. FLOOR SHIFTER). ALSO ON YOUR LIST! I'VE SPENT A LOT OF MONEY TO REPAIR THIS VEHICLE FOR MISTAKES MADE BY THE DEALER AND IT'S NOT FAIR . I WOULD LIKE TO BE REIMBURSED AND THE RECALL PROBLEM FIXED. *NM

DT: THE VEHICLE IS A 1995 CHRYSLER CIRRUS, WHEN THE CONSUMER PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IT DID NOT HAVE A THERMOSTAT. THE FIRST TIME THE VEHICLE RAN HOT SHE TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC WHO TOLD HER THERE WAS NO THERMOSTAT. EVERY TIME SHE MOVED THE VEHICLE SHE WOULD HAVE TO ADD WATER AND ANTIFREEZE. BECAUSE THERE WAS A LEAK IN THE HOSE. ON 7-16-05, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO OVER 50 MPH THEN THE SPEED STARTED DROPPING. CONSUMER PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD .SHE PUT IT IN PARK AND SHUT THE IGNITION OFF. SHE TRIED TO START THE CAR AGAIN THEN IT MADE A WINDING NOISE, THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD CAME ON, BUT IT WOULD NOT START. AFTERWARDS THERE WAS STEAM COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE. SHE CONTACTED THE TOW SERVICE, WHICH TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY REFUSED TO FIX VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY PARKED AT CONSUMER'S HOME BECAUSE SHE COULD NOT GET ANY OF THE MECHANICS TO REPAIR IT. *AK

1995 CHRYSLER CIRRUS, 2.5L 6CYLN ENGINE, BOUGHT FOR OUR TWIN DAUGHTERS 16TH BIRTHDAY AND WITHIN 2 DAYS OF GETTING THE CAR, THEY WERE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY AND THE ENGINE STALLED RESULTING IN THEM LOSING PS/PB CONTROL., THE CAR HAS REPEATEDLY STALLED WHILE THEY HAVE BEEN DRIVING AND THEY CAME VERY CLOSE TO HITTING A MAN AS HE WAS WALKING ALONG THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BECAUSE OF THIS ENGINE FAILURE AND LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. THIS CAR ALSO HAS A PROBLEM STARTING, MY HUSBAND IS A SENIOR AUTOMOTIVE TECHINICIAN AND HE FOUND THAT WHEN TRYING TO START THE CAR THERE IS NO SPARK, HAVE WE SOLVED THE PROBLEM AS TO WHAT TO REPLACE? NO, IT COULD BE A NUMBER OF POSSIBILITIES FROM THE COIL TO THE COMPUTER CHIP. OUR DAUGHTERS DROVE THE CAR FOR 9 DAYS AND NOW IT SITS WAITING TO GET FIXED, DO WE WANT TO GO THROUGH THE EXPENSE OF GUESSING WHAT PART IT NEEDS TO RUN AGAIN? NO!! WHEN REVIEWING THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS CAR IN GENERAL, I HAVE NO IDEA WHY THIS CAR HAS NEVER BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS PROBLEM, IT IS A DISASTER WAITING TO HAPPEN, MAYBE YOUR WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO GET KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED BEFORE YOU WILL TAKE ANY ACTION ON THIS, I THINK IT IS VERY BAD BUSINESS TO NOT EVEN KNOW WHY THIS PROBLEM IS HAPPENING. I HOPE FOR OTHER PEOPLES SAKE THAT NO ONE GETS HURT OVER THIS, UNLIKE YOUR COMPANY THAT ONLY CARES ABOUT THE BIG BUCKS INVOLVED. DO A JOB RIGHT OR DON'T DO IT AT ALL. I WILL NEVER AGAIN BUY A CHRYSLER PRODUCT AND WILL LET ANYONE KNOW WHO IS IN THE MARKETPLACE FOR A CAR.*AK

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.
