The outer brake lines are cracking and are unavailable through common parts stores.
The engine overheats and has left me stranded twice already.
The handle to open the drivers door broke and no replacement parts are available. As a result I must lower the window, then open the door and then roll the window back up to exit the car.
The wipers are stopped at the middle of the windshield and will not go down out of view.
Steering wanders from side to side despite a new alignment.
The headliner fell the day I bought it.
The comfort is amazing and even luxurious.
Many options like climate control are a plus.
There is plenty of headroom and legroom.
Get back what you paid for it?
Not likely, unless what you paid was in double digits.
Bet your missin the Caprice now.
The Premier's depreciated rapidly when they new.
Nowadays they have virtually no value.
Not that they were a really bad car, but because they were designed by a questionable company.
They are quite quirky though.
Actually the Premier only failed because Chrysler wanted it too, it was way too much competition for everything they built at the time!!!
Read all the old reviews, it proves my point, and as far as constant problems, that'd be why Chrysler waited til the last year of the Premier to fix all its issues instead of in the beginning, but they waited til then cause it would've killed Chrysler sales massively, but then again Chrysler's getting a dose of their own medicine now. Jeep, their prized possession's going to international and Chrysler's stuck grouping with general monkey crap, who says there's no justice???
The previous comment is hilarious.
The Premier/Monaco were dropped after the 1992 model year because Chrysler had its own "LH" model to replace it; the Eagle brand got the Vision as a replacement for the Premier.
The Premier did not fail because Chrysler "wanted it to" -- that is just ridiculous. French automakers, including Renault, were very good on their own at making cars that fail in the N American market, even ones that, like the Premier, were actually manufactured in Canada.
And the reviews of the Premier during the time it was being marketed were not exactly complimentary, without even taking into account the car's horrible reliability record!
