When I first bought the car, it had a leaking transmission gasket, and the oil lines were bad.

I had the transmission oil pan gasket replaced and the lines fixed.

The previous owner had obviously neglected to maintain the car properly, so the front ball joints were acting up as well. I had them lubricated, and the problems were solved.

The ABS light was on when I bought the car, but that was easy to fix. I just had the rear speed sensor replaced.

Other than that, I've had minor issues with the tachometer going on and off at times. Electro-gremlins are bound to infest a car this old.

All in all, I´m very satisfied with my Chrysler. Which, by the way, is called Stratus in Sweden.

I've never taken the rumors, of the Stratus/Cirrus being a poor car, seriously. When it comes down to used cars, the problem is, more often than not, the previous owner (s).

All cars have their issues. Just because a couple of owners have had trouble with theirs, doesn't mean the whole model is crappy.

The same goes for my previous car, a Volvo 480 ES. It has a really bad rep as well, but it was as reliable as any car I've ever had. My father owns it now, and it still runs good.

Take good care of your cars, and they will most likely hold up just fine.

Hello. I am so glad I found this site. I thought maybe I was alone with my Cirrus. I mean I love my car, it's great, has a nice ride, but like all of you said, that stalling problem is killing me, I mean I wanna know why it does it.

I am sitting on 97 Chrysler Cirrus LXI and I love the car. It's fully loaded, candy apple red, tan leather, the works.

I wish I could find out why it does this. Mine lost power going to work one day, and I would put the pedal to the floor and nothing, so I was going to replace the whole motor for 1200, which includes parts and labor, but now that I've read around, I might just see if I can fix it for cheaper. Hopefully I can cause it is my only ride; right now I am driving my parent's minivan, which is a Dodge, which is the same company, so I am hoping I can fix it real easy.

Now I have been told that maybe the rings could be bad and fouling out the plugs, and that the valve seals could be bad, but after reading the comments here, I am thinking of just selling my car and getting something else.

The car has a great leather inside its really roomy and its perfect for my family.

Another thing that I love about this car is that it has a huge trunk which has 2 12" subs, 1 10" sub and my 3 amps. The nice thing about this car is that it came with a CD changer already built right into the car. So hooking up my new sound system was'nt very hard to do.

When I am done I would have put over $40,000 into the car unless I do all the customizing my self.
