"A high maintenance beauty"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Air Conditioner went out.

Seat handle broke.

Trunk release broke.

Car dies when coming to a stop.

General comments?

I fell in love with this car the moment I saw it. Didn't have any problems until a few weeks after buying it.

The air conditioner did not work even after recharging it.

The car dies off and on when coming to a stop. Sometimes it doesn't die, but the check engine light comes on and the engine revs on it's own. I have taken it too many shops to fix this and nobody knows what's wrong with it. If anyone knows I would appreciate the help.

I love the comfort level of this car. It is very roomy and easy to get children in and out of the back seats.

You purchased this car with 84k miles. You don't know how the previous owner maintained the car. When you buy a brand new car you are the only person that knows how the car is maintained. You cannot judge the car because of the problems it has. This person probably had the check engine light turned off before selling the car.

My wife bought a used 95 Cirrus last year. It was supposed to be in good shape. Traveling down the street at less than 40mph the engine will just shut down. No warning light, just shut down. Have replaced the Exhaust Gas Recirculation Valve and fuel pump and filter. As of 2/12/04 we still haven't resolved this issue.

I have read a lot of comments like these, and had the same issue with my 95 Cirrus. The Throttle Control Sensor solved problem, after a variety of other high profile parts had been installed.

I had the same problems with my 1995 Cirrus that only has 40,000 miles on it. It was my grandma's car, so it was well taken car of. The RPM's shot up at any given moment, even when the car was in park. The car die a few times when I was stopped at a red light. My car has been in the shop for two weeks. It will be complete today with them replacing the Throttle Sensor and the Transmission hose and the gas fuel hose.

This the worst car I have ever owned. After driving a 1995 Chevy Beretta for years with no problem I get the Beautiful "bucket" Cirrus. I have no idea what Chrysler was thinking with this nightmare of a car. Its constantly breaking down and the placement of a V6 on a front-wheel drive makes it a pain to work in the limited space. The best use for this vehicle is being sold part by part on EBAY.

Good Luck because you really will need it.

I also had a 95 Cirrus, and had much the same sentiments. The Power-train Control Module may be the culprit that you are searching for. It gave me the same symptoms, but beware it will cost at least $750.00 because it's a dealer part.

I just bought a cirrus 95 from a dealer and it only had like 85k miles on it, the car was pretty from the moment I saw it which I wish I never laid eyes on it really, it worked fine until like the 2nd week it would cut off when I came to a stop, and then finally one day I was backing out my drive way and the car jus cut off completely.

I bought the 95 cirrus (75,000) 2 days ago, and the first time it was on the freeway, it got stuck in second gear. If you see this car at the dealership, RUN AWAY!!! I sure wish I had.

I'm FROM N.Y. and HAVE 1 1995 CHRYSLER CIRRUS LX 6 Cylinder,

Let's see I've replaced everything now the brakes are shot, I replaced them as well as the master cylinder. Now I have no brakes. Go figure driving down the highway at 70 miles a hour and you have no brake peddal

This car is costing me a fortune every month I'm spending my retirement money on it like a fool. But I like the car a lot, it rides good. never quits on me at a light or other problems people are having. I just want it too quit costing me a fortune.

any comments as too the cause send too
