1999 CHRYSLER CIRRUS Engine And Engine Coolingengine Problems

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. THIS PAST 3 MONTHS ALONE, IT HAS BEEN AT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT 6 TIMES FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM. I AM NOW BEING TOLD THAT I NEED A TUNE-UP, WHICH WILL COST $700, THEN THE EGR NEEDS REPLACED, AND A FEW OTHER THINGS. HOWEVER, WHEN THE MECHANIC HAD IT LAST WEEK, HE COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT THE CIRRUS VEHICLES HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEMS THAT I AM HAVING. I WAS ON MY WAY TO THE MALL VIA THE PARKWAY WHEN THE CAR STALLED OUT. LUCKILY TRAFFIC WAS SLOW BECAUSE IF I WAS...

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 CHRYSLER CIRRUS. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE ENGINE FAILED ALONG WITH THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. A MESSAGE IN THE INSTRUMENT CONTROL PANEL DISPLAYED "NO BUS". THE DEALER STATED THAT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS UNKNOWN. NO REPAIRS WERE MADE. THE DEALER CURRENTLY HAS POSSESSION OF THE VEHICLE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 99,500. UPDATED 11/06/07. *JB

WHILE DRIVING, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD AND REMAINED ON. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THE MECHANIC REPLACED A SENSOR, HOWEVER THE PROBLEM RECURRED. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED THREE TIMES. THE CONSUMER RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND DROVE IT TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. *AK *SC *JB

THE UPPER HINGE ON THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR HAS SNAPPED AND CAUSING A LOUD POPPING NOISE WHEN OPENED. I AM AFRAID THE DOOR IS GOING TO FALL OFF. THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOT BEEN NOTIFIED AS OF YET. I CANT AFFORD TO TAKE IT IN. I ALOS WANTED TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE FACT THAT I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE ENGINE DECARBED 3-5 TIMES. DEALER STATES THAT IT IS CONSIDERED NORMAL BY CHRYSLER THAT THE ENGINE HAS SEVERE CARBON BUILD UP AND THAT IT MAY SOME DAY CAUSE MY HEADS TO CRACK. I DONT FEEL THAT IS RIGHT AND I SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE IF IT DOES HAPPEN. GENERAL MOTORS OFFERS THEIR CUSTOMERS COMPONENT COVERAGE LETTERS WHEN THEY HAVE A CONCERN LIKE THIS WITH THE ENGINE TO SHOW THIER CUSTOMERS THAT THEY STAMP BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. I THINK THAT CHRYSLER NEEDS SOMETHING LIKE THIS.

I AM GETTING CRANKCASE FUMES IN THE PASSENGER AREA WHICH MAKE ME DROWSY. MY CONCERN IS I MAY HAVE AN ACCIDENT*AK.
