1995 Chrysler Cirrus suspension complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 39 of 39, newest first, as owners wrote them.
While driving on highway heard a rubbing noise. Pulled over, and two rear tires were turned in. Contacted dealer, and was told that upper control arm broke because they were not properly lubricated. Was also told that this vehicle was not designed where consumer could reach to lubricate. In addition, vehicle was making noise when putting it in reverse, and was not able to steer car because power steering pump seal went out and fluid leaked onto the ground.
Had noticed a grinding noise in the steering wheel whenever it was turned left/right. Put power fluid in steering & problem returned. Had noticed a leak in driveway & took to mechanic. Informed by mechanic the rack & pinion had to be changed. Had wheels aligned & was informed did not need it.
When driving at any speed there is some type of knocking noise coming from front vehicle. Also, driver's side window separated from the mounting, and consumer can't roll the window down.
My car was inspected for a recall issue almost two years ago. I bought the car only 7 months ago. Recently, it broke down because of the recall issue and the manufacturer will not cover the costs for repair because they say that the recall had been completed when actually the car was only inspected (no parts replaced). What if a short time after it was inspected, the problem started to occur? I was not aware of this recall when I purchased the car and I think that the manufacturer should cover the costs. I think I am being cheated out of money and for the safety of my car. Don't manufacturers want to keep their customers satisfied and make sure that their cars are safe?
Front ball joint broke, causing front of the vehicle to collapse. Please give any further details.
Warranty recall out, but we were not notified of a problem, and we feel that this is a safety issue, and if chrysler is aware of the problem, they have a responsibility to their customers to notify and fix the problem. Also, chrysler is not willing to replace the arm on the other side until it fails. What if it fails while we are driving at 60 MPH with our baby in the back of our car? I would like to think that I can trust chrysler with my family's safety.
Many many problems with this vehicle and the dealership. Please contact us if you can for more details

Also.....water pump failure.....3/6/99....mileage....67,500. The listed incidents are unusal and unexpected. It seems I am having one problem after another on this vehicle.
