One problem related to automatic transmission control module has been reported for the 1996 Chrysler Cirrus. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Problem was diagnosed as a failure of the transmission control module (tcm) and the solenoid pack. However, it is apparent that the transmission itself is faulty, as it makes a "moaning" sound at what I presume are the shift points. Dealer does not recognize this issue as a problem, although it is getting progressively worse. Original diagnosed problem, failure of the tcm, would cause the auto to go into "limp-in" mode. (auto defaults to second gear, which would happen at low speeds or when stopped. ).
