On may 31, 2017, I drove my 2000 Chrysler Cirrus car approx 2 miles to a store and parked in the store lot and then as I went to shut my car off, I saw alot of smoke coming from under my car hood so I shut car off and got out of my car and then lifted my hood and saw that my engine was in engulfed in flames so I immediately shut the hood and started to run away from my car. 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 the fire out. My car had to be towed to dom balducci's car care and was left there for an insurance adjuster to come and inspect the car which he did and after the inspection he claimed my car the 2000 Chrysler Cirrus as a total loss.

Car loses all power when driving especially after it rains. You have to let it sit awhile and then it will start up. This happens frequently and is quite dangerous. From what I have researched on the internet this is a common problem with this car and alot of frustrated people are wondering why this hasn't been a recall problem since it seems to happen in all Cirrus models. This is an expensive repair and it seems to be an extremely life threatening one since it happens on major highways without no warning what so ever.

My car dies while driving down the road and takes a while to start back up. I have taken it to a shop on 4 occasions to have the problem fixed. The distributor has been replaced 3 times, neutral safety switch, complete tune-up. Still no luck.

The distributor has gone out twice (2x) on my 1999 Chrysler Cirrus. The first time was in 2007 while I was sitting in a car wash. I thought perhaps some water had splashed in and shorted something out. So I didn't report it. But the second time was on Friday, may 29th. We were driving on the I-210 freeway in the carpool lane - near azusa, CA. Suddenly the car lost all power and I had to pull across 5 lanes of traffic in order to safely get off the freeway. It was very scary and very dangerous. If I had not been able to pull over, the car would just have stopped dead on a busy freeway on the Friday afternoon of the memorial day weekend. I asked the mechanic at clippinger Chrysler in covina where we had the car towed if the distributor went out often on their cars. He said it was "rare. " I think that the fact that it has gone out twice on my car in the past 2 years is very strange and could constitute a serious defect.
