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 on the parkway and it stalled out, my sister and I could have gotten killed. There is no predetermined time when these problems occurred. The car only has 89500 miles on it. I have all of my original repair papers. Proper maintenance has always been done on my car. When it works, it is great. Unfortunately, I just never know when it is going to not start.

I contacted fifteen transmission service stations including coleman taylor they stated this is the most common problem of transmission failure on that model of car. Previously on the first screen I tried to enter the 17 digit VIN, it wouldn't accept the no. # is [xxx] the 9 and 16 digit could either be a O or 0. ****dimsii IVOQ posted after 12/12/ cut-over to artemis****770795 information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

I was driving to work on highway 302 when suddenly the speedometer needle moved to zero, the check engine light came on, then the transmission shifted to first gear locking the wheels almost causing a wreck, all of this happened within two to three seconds not much time to slow down. Dodge/Chrysler wouldn't cover the cost since I bought a program car as is no warranty, but before I purchased it, they did a bumper to bumper check and stated everything checked out, the very next day after I purchased the car, the rear power windows failed, a year later I had a flat and the compact spare they put in the trunk when I bought the car didn't match the bolt pattern, on 12/26/02 the pin in the differential of the transaxle came loose and destroyed the transmission and will cost $2,600 to replace. Chrysler surely out did themselves with this lemon and luckily for me I avoided two major accidents, and 15 transmission shops stated this is the most common problem with this make. I can't believe you have not made Chrysler recall the defective speed sensor and defective transmission which can cause a devastating wreck without warning.

When driving vehicle under normal conditions, ABS light/engine check light, and air bag light will appear on the console. When this happens, the units will stop working. Also, speedometer goes out when these lights illuminate. Dealer has been contacted.
