Vehicle dies going down the highway sitting or idling runs for 30 minutes then dies, lots of complaints about Chrysler vehicles doing this, very unsafe, vehicle should never shut down by themselves, electrical problems.
My car will stall out in low or idol. It would just shut off. While driving and switching gears it will sound like its missing. I took it to get it smog. They said that the computer in the car was resetting every time I start the car. They also said that it was doing the same problem as the Chrysler Cirrus 1996 was doing.
My 1998 Chrysler Cirrus with only 75000 miles on it was sitting in the driveway for 5+ hours, not running (keys inside my home) and it caught on fire. The fire was deemed to be an electrical short somewhere in the drivers door panel, possible the electric mirror location switch. No accidents with this car, no modifications where done, everything is (was) stock as it rolled off the assembly line in 1998. My daughter received a slight burn putting the fire out. The car is a complete lose but did not burn completely.
