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.?
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. Now sometimes it will shift fine and other times it will not shift at all. And my A/C quit working and the RPM gauge stopped working at around the same time as the shifting issues started.
: the contact stated while driving the vehicle stalled without warning. This occurred at various speeds. The vehicle was towed to the dealership, where they determined the computer was bad and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer has not been contacted. The consumer stated the recall regarding the automatic shifter was not properly fixed. The consumer had problems shifting gears. Updated 05/30/06.
While driving the consumer's 1995 Chrysler Cirrus slipped into low gear. Then this occurred the engine revved and the RPM's went up. The only way to get the vehicle to go back into gear was to pull off the road and shut the engine off for about 5 min. After the vehicle was restarted sometimes it couldn't be driven over 30 mph or would suddenly drop from 55 mph to 30 mph. The vehicle was taken to a transmission repair facility. The consumer was told that the problem was not transmission related but was electrical.
I have a 1995 Chrysler Cirrus, V-6 engine with 82,000 miles. I have had a problem with this car since August 2003 and have not been able to resolve it. Anytime I drive the vehicle for periods longer than 20 minutes it will just stall for no reason. When the problem happens it is as if someone has turned off the ignition. The car will restart after several hours but not before and when it does restart it is as if nothing was ever wrong. This can happen at any speed and is a very dangerous situation when it happens on the interstate. I have had the vehicle into the dealer and the response was " our educated guess is that it is the distributor and for $1,000 we will replace the distributor, we are not sure this is the problem but our best guess is it is". anytime I have had the vehicle towed into the dealer or any other repair center by time the car gets there and is evaluated the problem has went away just to arise a day later, a week later, or some period of time later. No other repair center will agree with the dealer that the problem is the distributor, and they admit they just do not know since the problem cannot be replicated while the repair shop has the vehicle. This seems to be a prevalent problem with this type of vehicle and engine from Chrysler and itS just a matter of time before someone gets killed from a vehicle stalling in heavy traffic in the middle lane on the interstate.

I have a 1995 Chrysler Cirrus that keeps stalling, even while traveling at speeds of 60 M.P.H. the car just stalls like the ignition was turned off, but it will restart right away. I have had it in to the shop several times and they keep replacing parts but it does not correct the problem. They say that the computer does not show an error code for them to know what the problem is. It is getting expensive replacing parts that they think are the problem and then the problem continues to exist.
