1995 Chrysler Cirrus Complaints

DT: WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY PLACED CAR INTO CRUISE AT ABOUT 77 OR 78 MPH. WHEN LOOKED AT SPEEDOMETER IT WAS AT ABOUT 60. MPH. ENGINE WAS RUNNING BUT NOT IN GEAR. MOVED SHIFT, BUT FOUND IT WAS STILL IN NEUTRAL. VEHICLE WAS COASTING, WHEN SLOWING TO ABOUT 30 MPH IT WENT IN LOW GEAR. HAVE TO PULL OVER IN EMERGENCY LANE AND SHUT OFF ENGINE AND RESTART TO GET VEHICLE TO DRIVE. SOMETIMES THIS MAY BE HAVE TO BE PERFORMED AS MUCH AS 25 TIMES. WHEN IT DOES GO INTO DRIVE AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND MAY GO AS LITTLE AS 20-25 MILES BEFORE IT GOES INTO NEUTRAL AND WILL HAVE TO REPEAT THIS RITUAL. TOOK TO DEALER 5 TIMES FOR ABOUT 5-6 WEEKS. DEALER REPLACED IGNITION SWITCH AND LOCK. THIS DID NOT HELP EITHER. LAST TIME CHANGED SOP SHIFT SOLENOID. VEHICLE IS NOW WORSE THAN BEFORE AND CONSUMER SPENT $1,000 FOR REPAIRS THAT DID NOT HELP.*AK *TT *NM

THE CONDITION I WILL DESCRIBE HAS EXISTED WITH THIS VEHICLE SINCE WE BOUGHT IT. I HAVE THE WORK ORDERS FROM THE TWO DEALERS I HAVE WORKED WITH TO RESOLVE THE PROBEM. EACH TIME IT HAS COST ABOUT $250.00 TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM AND I DON'T WANT TO SPEND THESE $$$ AGAIN. WHAT HAPPENS IS THAT WHEN I PRESS THE ACCELERATOR THE CAR DOES NOT RESPOND. IT COUGHS, HESITATES AND VERY SLOWLY ACCELERATES. IN TRAFFIC, THIS HAS ALMOST CAUSED SEVERAL ACCIDENTS. IT TAKES ABOUT SEVEN TO TEN SECONDS TO FINALLY REACH TRAFFIC SPEED. FORTUNATELY, WE HAVE ESCAPED ANY COLLISION-- SO FAR, BUT WE HAVE COME VERY CLOSE SEVERAL TIMES. THE CAR WAS GOOD FOR THE LAST FEW MONTHS AND SUDDENLY, THIS PAST WEEK IT STARTED HESITAING AGAIN. THE CAR HAS ABOUT 55,000 MILES, BUT, AS I SAID, THIS CONDITION HAS BEEN WITH THE CAR SINCE IT WAS NEW. I KNOW WHAT THE DEALERS WILL SAY-"WE'LL TAKE A LOOK AT IT", WHICH WILL COST A MINIMUM OF $100.00. THEY WILL KEEP THE CAR A FEW DAYS SAYING THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. WELL, THE PROBL...

THE CONSUMER RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE FOR THE TRANSAXLE FLOOR SHIFTER IGNITION/PARK INTERLOCK AND REPAIRS COULD NOT BE COMPLETED DUE TO LACK OF PARTS. *MR RECALL CAMPAIGN#04V021000. *SC *JB
