2000 Chrysler Cirrus Engine problems

By then someone who saw all the smoke had called police to the scene and fire trucks came soon after the police arrived and fireman put...

Car will cut off while car is either decelerating or stationary. Oil light will come on. Periodically the check engine light will appear too but mechanic checked diagnostic computer codes nothing is wrong. Very scary experiences while driving in rush hour traffic on highway and several city streets. No prewarning lights.

2000 Cirrus 2.5L engine randomly stalls and frost / freeze plugs rust through. Stalling: engine stops running while car is being driven at any speed, which leaves the operator with no power steering or brakes. No trouble codes are displayed or pending. After a period of time, roughly 20 minutes, the engine will start and run fine for several days or weeks. When stalled, if you activate the alarm system and lock and unlock the doors it seems to clear the anti-theft system and allow the fuel pump to run, which...

Tl*the contact owns a 2000 chrysler cirrus. After being previously driven, the vehicle caught fire five minutes after it was parked. The vehicle was never repaired under recall because the dealer stated that it was fine and did not need repairing. The contact feels that the dealer should be responsible for the failure. The recall number was unknown. The current and failure mileages were 123,000.

The vehicle had been stalling on the highway, and restarting alone , and at time when entering the on ramp to a highways, almost caused me to have an accident. And it has always been on the highway when the car is in higher r.P.M's as it never done it while on city roads... Now car won't start at all and reads no bus... I entered it at google and many other's have gone through the same problems I have and with many models but the same engines either 2.4 V6 or the 2.5 V6 , dodge or chrysler cirrus ,stratus,breeze,intrepid,and earlier 300's... Sounds like it should be a recall to me... Thanks for any info. *Jb

On july 11, 2005 the newburyport fire department was called to put out an engine fire in my 2000 chrysler cirrus. An insurance adjuster from rand adjustments came out to see the car at volpone towing also in newburyport mass. The adjuster determined that the car was a total loss. I am now without any transportation.

On june 9, 2005 I left a restaurant after lunch. I drove approximately 1 minute at 30-35 mph when the engine started running roughly and losing power. Since I was on a surface street and going slowly I was able to safely pull over into a gas station and turn the car off. It took approximately 30-45 seconds to drive the car the 300-400 yards to the gas station. I had the car towed to my mechanic who advised me that there was a hole in the middle driver's side piston and that it appeared to be caused by a part of...

Dt: chrysler has redesigned a part for the car, the part that was in the car that wasn't redesigned. The part fell apart and has never been replaced. The part caused the timing belt to slip, causing valves to bend in engine . *Ak
