2000 CHRYSLER CIRRUS LX with the Disappearance This Year of Its 2000 CHRYSLER CIRRUS LX With the disappearance this year of its two siblings, the Dodge Stratus and the Plymouth Breeze, the Chrysler Cirrus is the only DaimlerChrysler model in the mid-size category. To attract former Stratus/Breeze customers, the Cirrus is available in a fairly well-equipped base “LX” model. Interior and trunk The passenger cell is quite easy to enter and exit and provides adequate leg room. The sun roof limits front head room somewhat whereas the roof angle reduces head room in the rear. The front seats are comfortable though the seat back is not high enough for tall people. The change in the angle of the upper part of the seat back may feel uncomfortable at first, but you quickly get used to it. The rear bench provides just average comfort because the cushion is low. Unlike rear seats in many other cars, this one has a flat cushion and seat back and can accommodate three adults, though two is a better fit. The roomy trunk has a wide opening and a flat floor. The one-piece seat back folds to provide more space for cargo. Safety and convenience Well finished and quiet, except in heavy acceleration, the Cirrus could do with some changes inside. The audio controls are placed above the climate controls but are still too low. There are good storage spaces in front but none at all in the rear. The climate control system in our test vehicle had trouble keeping a constant temperature but otherwise worked well. Instruments and controls are easy to consult and use but ideally, you should not have to rotate the wiper control to turn them on, because you have to take your right hand off the steering wheel. Safety features include dual front air bags, an anti-lock braking system and good visibility, except when backing up. As is all too prevalent in Chrysler products, the top of the dash reflects annoyingly off the windshield. Only the front seats have head restraints, which are lockable but cannot be raised high enough for tall persons and are too far back of the head. The headlights are inadmissibly and inexplicably dim. Engine and transmission With just 100 cc less displacement than the optional V-6, the four-cylinder engine powers the Cirrus so efficiently that you often get the feeling that there’s a V-6 under the hood. Standing and passing acceleration is such that the Cirrus can easily maintain the rhythm in most driving conditions. The four-cylinder is quiet and smooth, and there is not enough difference between it and the V-6 to make the latter an absolute necessity. The automatic transmission is smooth and well geared. On the road The suspension turns in a very nice ride, absorbing most bumps very efficiently. Suspension travel limits become apparent when the going gets rough, however, causing the car to bump down on the suspension, especially in front. Road holding is honest and the vehicle leans quite noticeably in turns. Steering is precise and reasonably quick, but provides no road feedback and is heavy at low speed. The brakes are just adequate and subject to fade; the anti-lock braking system barely intervenes in an emergency stop on dry pavement. An inspection at the CAA-Quebec technical centre showed that the Cirrus is well built in general but with room for improvement in a number of areas. The computer and electrical connections are poorly protected from water and salt damage in the engine compartment. The front brakes are not shielded and the gas lines are bare metal. The battery is poorly placed behind the left front fender liner. Conclusion The Cirrus is an unpretentious vehicle with a roomy interior, honest roadability and a surprisingly good four-cylinder engine. A makeover is due next year, in which case it will hopefully get a more powerful V-6 engine, more suspension travel, better brakes and real headlights. DaimlerChrysler should also adjust its scheduled maintenance to reduce the cost, which is relatively high by today’s standards.

  • Daimler-Chrysler-Vehicle-Problems
    Dodge Chrysler Vehicles - Poor Quality Reliability Safety Defects Page 1 of 17 DAIMLERCHRYSLER DODGE CHRYSLER VEHICLES - IMPORTANT CONSUMER INFORMATION BEFORE YOU BUY Dodge, Chrysler formerly DaimlerChrysler has had a history of excessive vehicle quality issues, safety defects and poor service. This continued despite the 1998 Chrysler merger with Daimler Benz and constant claims by DaimlerChrysler that this was a significant benefit to consumers. If anything, given the dramatic quality decline, it seems Mercedes Benz may have embraced some of the cost cutting quality standards at Chrysler to increase overall profitability. The problems continue despite stylish new vehicles and claims of new stringent quality standards by Chrysler to regain consumer confidence. Chrysler continues to deceive consumers regarding known potentially life threatening vehicle defects such as unsafe Seatbelts and Steering which continue to put consumer lives at risk every day. Chrysler still refuses to recall several common serious safety defects that cannot be absolved through mergers and buyouts. Chrysler continues to reduce its warranty expense through an aggressive refusal to honor many valid warranty claims while blaming the consumer whenever possible, such as defective engines where on schedule oil changes can be proven. Consumers often attribute this to being a dealer problem while failing to recognize that this is because Chrysler pressures dealers to keep warranty costs to a minimum, even for known problems and defects. Chrysler will do everything it can to avoid covering common problems under warranty whenever possible by blaming consumers or claiming issues cannot be duplicated. We believe Chrysler is the most negligent, deceptive, misleading and arrogant automobile manufacturer that does not deserve your business.

  • Null: 2005 Chrysler Brand (Outside North America)
    Contact: Michele Callender Ariel Gavilan Chrysler Heritage (Outside North America) Press kit translations are available in pdf format to the right under "Attached Documents." February 28, 2005, Auburn Hills, Mich. - The year 2004 was a landmark year for the Chrysler brand, with a fantastic display of new vehicles, model improvements and growing quality and technological prowess. In the year that marked the Chrysler brand’s 80th anniversary, the brand introduced seven new or refreshed models to markets outside of North America. Chrysler has repeatedly introduced unconventional vehicles and engineering innovations. Those innovations range from the Chrysler Six, which in 1924 redefined what a passenger car should be, to cab-forward designs and segment- defining MPVs that helped crystallise the brand’s image in the 1990s, to exciting current products like the Chrysler 300C Sedan, Touring and SRT8. The influence of the Chrysler brand’s past upon its future manifests itself in every new Chrysler product. Chrysler Brand Historical Highlights 1924: Walter P. Chrysler introduces the 1924 Chrysler Six — one of the most advanced and exciting cars of its day. The Chrysler Six is a quality light car — power in a small package — something no other brand is offering at the time. The vehicle makes maximum use of a high-speed, high-compression engine with incredible power and small displacement — along with other features such as hydraulic brakes. This becomes the first modern automobile at a very moderate price — a revolutionary concept in its day. 1925-1933: Chrysler broadens the model line to four separate series. Imperial emerges as a top-level luxury/performance car.

  • Chrysler Group Celebrates 20 Years of Modern Concept Vehicles
    Contact: Ashley Kahael Sam Locricchio Chrysler Group Celebrates 20 Years of Modern Concept Vehicles Chrysler Group’s design tradition has become a key strength of the company More than 100 concept vehicles have been developed since 1988 Chrysler Nassau, Jeep® Trailhawk and Dodge Demon are the most recent concepts May 24, 2007, Auburn Hills, Mich. - “Concept to reality” has become a term that epitomizes the Chrysler Group design philosophy, and many observers are hoping that it will apply to the company’s concept vehicles for 2007. Chrysler Group’s latest concept vehicles clearly demonstrate a design tradition that has become a key strength of the company: an ability to design the coolest-of-cool concepts, which are as relevant as they are innovative. This approach started with the Frankfurt Motor Show reveal of the Lamborghini-engined, cab forward-styled, four-door Chrysler Portofino concept sedan in 1987. Almost 20 years and more than 100 concepts later, this continuous development has helped Chrysler Group reinvent and maintain its reputation as a car company driven by design and engineering. Concept vehicles have two major roles for the Chrysler Group: they showcase to management, the media and the public the potential future design direction for Chrysler Group cars and trucks, and they help to attract the best young designers in the world into its design studios. Chrysler Group’s concept vehicle program allows designers to test new colors, features, vehicle size and segments. Concepts can also be showcases for new design cues, which often find their way into production on future vehicles – even if the entire concept vehicle does not.

University of Nebraska, 2020 Advisor: Cody Stolle The Manual for Assessing Safety Hardware (MASH) requires full-scale crash testing of roadside features using worst practical impact conditions. Vehicle selection for full-scale crash testing is intended to be representative of the contemporary passenger vehicle fleet. Researchers at the Midwest Roadside Safety Facility (MwRSF) investigated attributes of passenger vehicle sales to determine if the vehicle selection criteria shown in MASH should be revised to accommodate changes in the vehicle fleet.

  • Safety Recall C45 Floor Shifter Ignition/Park Interlock
    Revised: June 2004 Distributor/Dealer Service Instructions for: Safety Recall C45 Floor Shifter Ignition/Park Interlock This revision corrects the Load Limiting Push Rod part number application for 1993 – 1997 LH vehicles equipped with a Cobra shifter handle. IMPORTANT: Effective immediately, this recall (C45) cancels and supersedes Safety Recall No. 789 – Floor Shifter and Ignition/Park Interlock Cable. All vehicles involved in Recall 789, whether completed or not, must have Recall C45 performed. Models 1993-1999 (LH) Chrysler Concorde, LHS and 300M; Dodge Intrepid and Eagle Vision 1995-1999 (JA) Chrysler Cirrus, Dodge Stratus and Plymouth Breeze 1996-1999 (JX) Chrysler Sebring Convertible NOTE: This recall applies only to the above vehicles equipped with an automatic transaxle and a floor mounted shifter. IMPORTANT: Some of the involved vehicles may be in Distributor/Dealer used vehicle inventory. Distributors/Dealers should complete this recall service on these vehicles before retail delivery. Distributor/Dealers should also perform this recall on vehicles in for service. Involved vehicles can be determined by using the VIP inquiry process. Subject The transaxle floor shifter ignition/park interlock system on about 2,300,000 of the above vehicles (100,955 in Int’l markets) may become inoperative. This may allow the shifter to be moved out of the “Park” position with the ignition key removed (or in the “Lock” position). It may also allow the ignition key to be removed when the shifter has not been placed in the “Park” position. If the shifter is not in the “Park” position, these conditions could allow the vehicle to roll away and cause a crash without prior warning.
