The contact owns a 1995 Chrysler Cirrus. The contact stated that while driving approximately 55 mph, the vehicle suddenly shifted into neutral. The vehicle then shifted out of neutral, but would not accelerate out of first gear. The vehicle was taken to a mechanic for a diagnostic test. The mechanic stated that the transmission would have to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 130,000.

Our car will shift perfectly one day and don't want to shift the next second for np reason, we have replaced the modulator.. coolant temp sensor.. we have also even recabliorated the shifting pattern and still have this problem.. is this going to keep happening or is there something I can do to fix it. We did a diagnostic on it and the transmission was good.. I don't know what else to do.?

The first failure was on Dec 19 2005, I was driving on the freeway at approx. 65 mph and the engine quit running resulting in loss of power steering and power brakes also the transmission would not shift into a lower gear it just free wheeled. After bring the car to a stop on the side of the freeway and putting the transmission in park it restarted. This failure has occurred three more times this week.

I don't have time to go back through the thousands of dollars worth of receipts for this lemon that has had every major component fail multiple times. The latest is the 3rd transmission failure since 1995.

I bought this car 08/12/03. I paid $8800 for the car. I bought an extended warranty plan for 1 year. Due to all the problems I was having I ran a carfax report and found out this was a rental vehicle when pro car bought it at the auction. The manager denied knowing this. I took the car in on 8/15/03 because the steering was tightening up and power steering was nonexistent when going under 10mph. Service man told me steering rack but then they took that back. Car was overheating, and something wrong with idle. The dealer could not replicate the problem and said that overheating was normal unless it was going in the red. Took in 08/21..same problems as before but now transmission problem. Car would not down shift and would pop out of gear traveling down the hwy doing 65mph..car would instantly slow down and had to immediately pull over almost getting in an accident twice. Now was overheating into the red. Called 08/25 once again they said they could not replicate problems. Went in 08/26 drove the car with service manager. Overheating occurred again. They said a fan was unplugged...showed them idle they sprayed wires down with water. Showed steering problem, they replaced power steering rack. Transmission did not act up at times but nothing was done with that. 09/18/03 took care in while transmission was out of gear. They fixed a solenoid pack. Picked up on the 19th on the way home car slipped out of gear again. Called them and they said they would send to transmission shop. 10/14/03 took to ricks transmission shop. Repairs done on transmission. Picked up car on 10/15. 10/17/03 car broke down in parking lot. Turned key nothing happened at all. Passerby said due to work on transmission this was most likely a neutral switch that they should have replaced. 10/20 took car into pro car again. Explained transmission problem and lemon law and that I was tired of the car and did not want it. Manager not willing to do anything.
