In owners' words
What Cirrus owners report
Recent power train complaints filed with NHTSA, shortened. Personal details are removed.
ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO, MY CAR BEGAN STUTTERING AND STALLING OUT WITH NO WARNING. THE OIL LIGHT REPEATED FLASHES ON, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHES AND THEN STAYS ON, AND THE CAR WONT START OR JUST CUTS OFF. THE TRANSMISSION SPEED SENSOR WAS REPLACED. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED. THE OIL WAS CHANGED.…
I CURRENTLY OWN A 1999 CHRYSLER CIRRUS V6. AUTO IS EQUIPPED WITH A 41TE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WITH 104,000 MILES ON IT. ACCORDING TO AL WEB SITES I HAVE COME TO FIND THAT THE 41TE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION HAS PROVEN TO BE AN UNRELIABLE UNIT RESULTING IN PREMATURE FAILURE AND BEARING FAILURE.…
WHILE DRIVING ANY SPEED, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO JERK FORWARD. THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE CAUSE WAS NOT DETERMINED. PLEASE PROVIDE MORE INFORMATION.
