Used 1996 Chrysler Cirrus Consumer Reviews
My green money pit!!!
I bought this vehicle used at 84,000 miles in 2002. Things that went out in less than 2 year time period: power steering pump, alternator, starter (x2), radio stopped working, tape player stopped working, it leaked coolant, (I would have to add it once a month at least. Once at 100,000 miles and again at 120,000 miles, there transmission problems. It barely made it to the dealership to be traded in at 120,000 miles only to find out that it was worth almost nothing because the lit numbers for the odometer reading only lit up 20% of the time. It's a good thing I had tripple a! I used it often!!!!
Biggest Piece Of Garbage Ever
This is the worst car i have ever had Transmision went two months after i owned it Air conditioning compressor caught fire tachometer has never worked yeah it has power but what good is that when the dealer has it more than i do Noise in front end nobody can find they just tell me they all do that
Ok car, but beware reliability gotchas
This is a very nice car -- when it is working. We have had several major repairs over the life of the car (we are second owners, but might as well have been the first, since we got it with 9k miles). The A/C was addressed twice, the 'spark plugs and engine electrical' many times (until out of warranty when a third-party garage actually found the problem and replaced the alternator/coil assembly), and the climate controls had to be replaced once.
Can't Get No Satisfaction
Have you ever had paranoia? This car looks good but it is TROUBLE! I have had all four breaks go at one time. I have had to change the fuel filter and the fuel pump! The Odometer light NEVER worked properly. The front end makes alot of noise that no one can find the problem. The keyless entry never worked either! The dealership refused any service on this car and took no responsibility for selling this lemon. SELL IT IF YOU CAN!!
If I could only go back in time....
I bought this car used, but it only had 20k miles on it. Thankfully, I had the foresight to buy an extended warranty on this car when I bought it, because I got more than my money's worth out of it. In the first 3 years I owned this car, I put as much money (actually, the warranty company did) into repairs as I paid to purchase it. After the warranty ran out, I have averaged $1500 a year in repairs. Note that these are mechanical repairs, not upgrades or cosmetic items. I hate to break it to the folks at Chrysler, but if this is the best they can do, I think I'll spend my money elsewhere.
