1999 Chrysler Cirrus LXi review from North America
"Junk defined!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front brakes and rotors needed replaced at 2001 inspection.
One wheel needed replaced due to defect-new one doesn't match.
A/C compressor blew a seal-replaced under warranty.
EGR plugged up around 15K Needed new sensor.
Strut fell out going through intersection-found to be defective.
Trans-axle jumps when coasting to a stop sign or stop light then makes grinding noise.
Grinding noise when engaging reverse or drive.
General comments?
I will NEVER buy another Chrysler product. This car is junk and is almost the color of a lemon(imagine that!). I paid 20K for it put only 23K miles on it and when I went to trade it in they only offered me $4395! That's almost losing six thousand a year! The dealerships haven't been any help and have been quite rude with the repairs-fortunately every one of them has been under warranty. The incident with the strut falling out going through the intersection has made me weary about driving this car at all. I'm stuck with a piece of junk and when the extended warranty expires (soon) I'm going to give it away, but not to anyone I know!
