1999 Chrysler Cirrus Complaints

I HAVE A 1999 CHRYSLER CIRRUS. MY WIFE TOOK THE CAR FOR THE DAY 10/15/08, SHE CALLED ME AT WORK TO SAY THE BRAKES WERE MAKING A VERY LOUD GRINDING NOISE.

I DROVE AT 10 MPH OR SLOWER THE LAST MILE TO THE DEALER. THEY TOLD ME THE ROTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH THE BRAKES. THIS CAR HAD NO BRAKES. WHAT TROUBLES ME, IS THAT THE BRAKE PADS HAD NO WEAR INDICATORS ON THEM. HAD I HEARD THE SCREECHING OF THE INDICATORS, I WOULD HAVE HAD THE PADS REPLACED SOONER. I HAD NO IDEA THE PADS WAS THAT BAD.

I CURRENTLY OWN A 1999 CHRYSLER CIRRUS V6. AUTO IS EQUIPPED WITH A 41TE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WITH 104,000 MILES ON IT. ACCORDING TO AL WEB SITES I HAVE COME TO FIND THAT THE 41TE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION HAS PROVEN TO BE AN UNRELIABLE UNIT RESULTING IN PREMATURE FAILURE AND BEARING FAILURE. CHRYSLER HAS REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE DEFECT. AS OF THIS WRITING THE PINION BEARINGS HAVE FAILED IN MY VEHICLE AND CHRYSLER HAS REFUSED TO REPAIR AS THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THIS TRANSMISSION FOR WHICH THE MANUFACTURER DENIES AN RESPONSIBILITY. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE LIKE ME OUT THERE WITH NO RECOURSE. ESTIMATED REPAIR COST $2,000.00. 1999 CHRYSLER CIRRUS V6 ANY ASSISTANCE YOU CAN PROVIDE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED AS THERE ARE MANY OTHER PEOPLE LIKE ME OUT THERE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 CHRYSLER CIRRUS. THE CONTACT HAD A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT OF THE VEHICLE, BUT THE LATCH PLATE COULD NOT BE SECURED INTO THE SEAT BELT BUCKLE. TWO WEEKS PRIOR TO THE FAILURE, THE SEAT BELT WAS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. HE CALLED THE MANUFACTURER, NHTSA, AND SPOKE WITH SOMEONE AT CHRYSLER. HE ALSO SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH A LOCAL DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED HIM TO OBTAIN THE COST FOR THE REPAIRS AND HAVE THE DEALER IDENTIFY THE FAILURE COMPONENT. ONCE AT THE DEALER, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELT BUCKLE WAS THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 47,050.
