1995 Chrysler Cirrus LX review from North America
"Reliable and Trustworthy, has stood up to big punishment"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Brakes (Rear & Front)
Brake Cylinders (Rear)
Brake Line From Cylinder that goes into wheel well (Don't Know Name)
Water Pump.
Struts (Rear)
Stabilizer Bar (Rear)
Rear Brake Lights (Electrical)
Emergency Brake Light (Dash)
General comments?
I bought this car used.
I drove it sparingly for the 1st year and half. (to work in Morn, Home in Evening, Weekend trips around town etc.)
Circa Early 2004, Started delivering pizzas in it. I must say that I have beaten this ride down. And I live in a very hilly area with inclines of up to 60 degress.
The car has handled it well with only routine things breaking.
But now the water pump is shot and I can't drive it for more than 10 miles without the Temp gauge going through the roof (@ 94000 miles) >
I have also had the problem, mentioned elsewhere here, of the Engine running @ 5-6ooo rpm's to do 50 Miles an Hour. When it should be @ only 2-3000 for that speed.
Also, My Emergency Brake Light on the Dash is Continually Light, Whether it's engaged, or not.
All in All, This has been a relatively reliable vehicle for me and I have abused it pretty bad.
I would buy another Chrysler, but a new one.
I intend to replace the Water Pump and continue driving this car. It's also very comfortable by the way. =)
