1995 Chrysler Cirrus LX review from North America
"Straight from the Lemon Tree"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Where do I begin with problems?! The car needed a new PCM within months of owning it. Replaced that, then it promptly went out as soon as the warranty ran out (12 miles after the warranty died). Replaced PCM again and problems with idle racing on its own, car wouldn't start at times, it smoked, I couldn't keep brakes on the thing and worst of all---The transmission would shift itself out of drive into neutral while my family and I were traveling 60mph on the highway--Dangerous situation indeed! The car had major oil leaks, transmission leaks and whenever a part was needed, it cost out the tail. I actually drove the car into the dealership that I begged a trade in off of with the thing in its "limp" mode (where it was in drive, but it was in neutral as far as it going, Cirrus owners you know what I am talking about). Anyways.. Please reconsider something else like a dependable Buick or Chevrolet before buying a Cirrus. Please for your sake and the safety sake of your family.
General comments?
My Cirrus was straight from the Lemon Patch. Great handling, great gas mileage for a car that is that size, but overall a Loser for me.
