1995 Chrysler Cirrus LXi review from North America
"A rose with lots of sharp thorns"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The biggest problem with the car has been the transmission. First there was a leak. Then it kept locking up in limp home mode and would not shift into 3rd or 4th gear. The dealer has replaced a speed sensor and the transmission control module and a solenoid valve and has tried to reprogram the computer. Still the problem continues. I have spent over $1,000 trying to get this fixed and it still does not shift like it should most of the time. Sometimes after turning the engine off and restarting, the transmission will shift just fine, but most of the time it goes back into the limp home mode.
General comments?
The car is beautiful to behold and when the transmission works correctly it drives great.
The stereo system has a great sound.
The car is like a rose with lots of sharp thorns.
