I currently own a 1999 Chrysler Cirrus V6. Auto is equipped with a 41te automatic transmission with 104,000 miles on it. According to al web sites I have come to find that the 41te automatic transmission has proven to be an unreliable unit resulting in premature failure and bearing failure. Chrysler has refused to acknowledge the defect. As of this writing the pinion bearings have failed in my vehicle and Chrysler has refused to repair as this is an ongoing problem with this transmission for which the manufacturer denies an responsibility. There are thousands of people like me out there with no recourse. Estimated repair cost $2,000. 1999 Chrysler Cirrus V6 any assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated as there are many other people like me out there.
While driving any speed, the transmission would cause the vehicle to jerk forward. The dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem. The cause was not determined.
The consumer was able remove the key from the ignition switch while the vehicle was not in park. The cause had not been determined. The dealership have been notified but the problem had not been resolved.
The transmission shut down without warning. There was no movement at all. The vehicle had to be towed. Dealership was aware of the problem. Please submit additional information concerning this problem.
Transmission slips gears, and it is making a very loud sound. Consumer had vehicle checked, and was told that transmission was suppose to be making that kind of noise. But consumer can be riding along and can hear a loud sound. He knows that is not suppose to happen.
