1995 Chrysler Cirrus transmission problems

POWER TRAIN

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.?

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

TRANSMISSION WITHOUT WARNING EITHER SHIFTS DOWN INTO SECOND GEAR AND WILL NOT SHIFT UP OR WORSE THE TRANSMISSION GOES LIMP WHEN DRIVING AT ANY SPEED IN OTHER WORDS YOU END UP COASTING AND COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT, THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED TO ME I WAS GOING 65 MPH ON THE FREEWAY. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE ROAD SO I COULD COAST OFF AND COME TO A STOP. IF I HAD BEEN IN HEAVY TRAFFIC IN EITHER THE CENTER OR LEFT HAND LANE THERE WOULD BE NO WAY FOR ME TO AVOID OTHER CARS AND THIS WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE CHRYSLER DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS A FAULTY SOLENOID PACK AND THEY REPLACED IT FOR $900+ DOLLARS. THE CAR RAN FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND THE SHIFTING DOWN AND LIMP EPISODES BEGAN AGAIN. I NOW HAVE A CAR WITH 45000 MILES PARKED IN MY GARAGE AND AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. THERE ARE DOZENS OF BLOGS ON THE INTERNET DESCRIBING THE SAME PROBLEM AND I DO NOT SEE ANY RECALLS BUT THIS IS CERTAINLY A LIFE THREATENING HAZARD. UNFORTUNATELY THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM THAT HAPPENS WITH NO WARNING.

I BOUGHT A 1995 CHRYSLER CIRRUS LXI AND FOR THE FIRST LITTLE WHILE IT WAS GREAT, THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 62 MPH AND THE CAR SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL I SLOWED DOWN TO ABOUT 30MPH AND IT DROPPED INTO GEAR BUT IT WOULD NOT SHIFT FROM FIRST GEAR.

IT'S BACK THERE AGAIN BECAUSE IT NEEDS THAT EXPANSION PLUG AND RETAINING BRACKET THAT ONLY THE DEALER CAN PROVIDE ACCORDING TO EVERY SITE BUT THE PLACE THE CAR COMES FROM. I'M ALSO HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WHICH I'VE HAD SINCE I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE. BECAUSE I NEED A SHIFT MECHANISM AND CABLE FROM THE DEALER ACCORDING TO EVERY SITE BUT WHERE THE CAR COMES FROM.

WHEN DRIVING 30-60 MPH TRANSMISSION DOWN SHIFTS SENDING RPMS THROUGH THE ROOF. SOMETIMES I CAN PULL OVER AND TURN OFF THE CAR TO RESET THE COMPUTER AND SOMETIMES NOT.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

1995 CHRYSLER CIRRUS IS CONTINUALLY DOWNSHIFTING INTO 2ND GEAR AND STAYS THERE. I HAVE TRIED TO HAVE IT FIXED AND TO NO AVAIL. THE SOLENOID PACK WAS REPLACED TWICE AND THIS DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THIS WAS A COSTLY "REPAIR" THAT ACCOMPLISHED NOTHING. I EVEN GOT A SECOND OPINION FROM AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND IT WAS IN ERROR ALSO. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT THAT IS EVIDENTLY BEING EXPERIENCED BY MANY CHRYSLER OWNERS.

NHTSA complaint #10088438 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED THE CAR WILL JUST LOSE POWER, START SLOWING DOWN, THE RPM WILL RISE TO OVER 5000 RPMS. HAVE TO DRIVE AT UNDER 40 MILES/HR JUST TO TRY AND KEEP THE RPM UNDER 4500. THIS IS SCARLY WHEN YOU GOT KIDS IN THE CAR AND ON A HIGHWAY. THIS HAS BECOME AN EVERYDAY PROBLEM I COULD JUST START THE CAR AND THE RPM WILL RISE FASTER THAN THE SPEEDOMETER AND WONT GO DOWN, OR I COULD JUST BE DRIVING AND IT WILL HAPPEN FOR NO REASON AND YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN. I HAVE LOOKED AT NEMEROUS CAR REVIEWS RELATED TO THE THIS MODEL AND YEAR AND IN ALL OF THEM EG HTTP://WWW.CARREVIEW.COM/MIDSIZE-COMPACT/CHRYSLER/PRD_230_1531CRX.ASPX#REVIEWS. JUST TO MENTION ONE AND IN ALL OF THEM SEVERAL PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, I ALSO TOOK TIME TO READ SOME OF THE COMPLAINTS YOU HAVE RECEIVED OVER THE YEARS AND FOUND THE SAME THING. WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THIS ISSUE WAS LOOKED INTO AND WHAT CAN BE DONE TO CORRECT IT. AS ALMOST EVERYTHING HAS BEEN TRIED TO NO SUCCESS FROM CHANGING THE COMPUTERS TO NEW TRANSMISSIONS, STOPPING AT THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND STARTING AGAIN. HOPING TO HEAR FROM YOU SOON. I WOULD BE WILLING TO ALOW YOU PPLE TEST DRIVE MY CAR AND GET A FEEL OF IT FIRST HAND. THANKYOU IN ADVANCE.
