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.

1995 chrysler cirrus, 2.5l 6cyln engine, bought for our twin daughters 16th birthday and within 2 days of getting the car, they were driving on the expressway and the engine stalled resulting in them losing ps/pb control., the car has repeatedly stalled while they have been driving and they came very close to hitting a man as he was walking along the side of the road because of this engine failure and loss of power steering and power brakes. This car also has a problem starting, my husband is a senior automotive techinician and he found that when trying to start the car there is no spark, have we solved the problem as to what to replace? No, it could be a number of possibilities from the coil to the computer chip. Our daughters drove the car for 9 days and now it sits waiting to get fixed, do we want to go through the expense of guessing what part it needs to run again? No!! When reviewing the complaints about this car in general, I have no idea why this car has never been recalled for this problem, it is a disaster waiting to happen, maybe your waiting for someone to get killed or seriously injured before you will take any action on this, I think it is very bad business to not even know why this problem is happening. I hope for other peoples sake that no one gets hurt over this, unlike your company that only cares about the big bucks involved. Do a job right or don't do it at all. I will never again buy a chrysler product and will let anyone know who is in the marketplace for a car.

I have had 2 failuers of the AC compressor on this vehicle. Both times the compressor overheated during normal operation of the air conditioner on the vehicle. The first time it failed the compressor locked up, causing the serpentine belt to jam, causing loss of power steering and operation of the alternator. The second compressor failed after only 7,000 miles of operation and hs yet to be repaired.
