My motor went at 48000 miles.
One year pior to this engine light came on and I had it service.
Brakes all around evey six months.
Cup holders, knobs on dash fall off.
Leather wear is terrible.
Seat belts not so good.
This car has cost me so much money, and I believed taking this vehicle to the dealer would keep this car in good shape for years to come. Until this day I was driving home from work and this cracking noise was so loud I pulled over and it was all over. I was told my motor was no good and quote from a chrysler's specialists at headquarters named Jamie "after all Eileen your car is six years old"
Yeah, 'cause ALL motors go bad at 6 yrs old.
What exactly went wrong with the engine?
"One year pior to this engine lite came on and I had it service."
Would that mean that you had the engine service only once in a year?
You must have had the 2.7 V6 this is a common problem with this motor. Don't feel like you're the only one both Honda and VW have problems with there 2.7 V6's also.
Brakes all round every six months? How many miles are you putting on this thing in six months? And what is wrong? You might just have a greedy mechanic! I love my cirrus Lx 4 cylinder. You might have gotten a lemon!
Hi I have the 2.4 litre 4 cylinder engine on my 2000 Chrysler cirrus and you seem to be having transmission problems with it leaking, all starting before winter (might be a coincidence). I have replaced the transmission solenoid once last winter and it looks like the same thing again!: (I love the car with everything else and I am a very easy driver, I just can't understand why! Does anyone else have this problem or am I just lucky?!
Check the transmission lines. In the winter the expand and contract with the hot/cold temperatures. A simple tightening will fix this. Had the same problem, didn't know what it was until I just thought of the lines. Best of luck.
I recently just bought my Cirrus 2000,and so far so good for the exception of the right rear brake, lots of issues already. Just bought new brake shoes, wheel cylinder, along with a new rotor. Now I have white smoke coming from the same wheel. I wonder what that is... oh well, car will probably be going back.
I have a 2000 Cirrus, and at 132,000 km the motor went, oil pump got weak, can't keep the brakes on it. I put the 2.5 V6 in it and the starter motor went, and then in 6000 km with the new motor in the car, my struts, ball joints and most of my front end got bad! I'm buying imports from now on.
