1985 Chrysler Fifth Avenue from North America - Comments

It stalls whenever I apply the brakes, unless I left-brake right-gas it.

Changed so many things, I couldn't list them all.

The starter recently died.

Started to leak transmission fluid, started at a drip, now seems to flow.

This car is garbage.

Please, do not buy this type of car. You will be sorry.

I hate this car.

You had the car for eight years and got 260,000 miles out of it. It could not have been that bad of a car.

Based on what you have listed for mileage, you got a lot of miles out of this car. On that aspect, you may have gotten you money's worth. The repairs listed are typical (or less than typical) of a car with 300,000 miles on it.

Like others have said, you kept it that long and logged that many miles, but you still hate it? Why didn't you buy something else then? I've personally never heard anything, but good things about these cars. Stuff wears out after 300,000 miles.

The person that said that they hate this car this car is garbage since its garbage give it to me then for free i'll be glad to have it email at mccaffi2@aol.com.

Any car that goes to 300,000 is impressive. Many things will go wrong with any car at that mileage. Was your engine original?. If it was, you did quite well.

I have the 1985 Chrysler Fifth Avenue, and that problem where you hit the brakes and it stalls is the electronic fuel control system. I had the same problem; you have to bypass the PCM with a new one, and also have to get a vacuum distributor. But after that it ran good.
