Well do a search of your car's make and the word "transmission" That may help you out!

Can't speak for newer cars but I technically own a chrysler....it's a jeep and the transmission sucks!

Eh - they get you from point A to point B but the engine and the drive wheels are on the wrong end of the car.

WTG Mipo! A friend of mine who's a Chrysler mech says that they are pretty good these days.

Congrats on the new ride. They handle great and have plenty of power.

Get rid of it before about 60k miles.

Chrysler is doing a lot better since they added Daimler to the name.

The turnaround all started with the Cordoba's rich, "Corinthian" leather

Those Cab-Forward Chysler vehicles have a reputation as being a "jack of all trades" sort of car. They aren't really outstanding at any one thing, but they do eveything decently without any major drawbacks. The convertible version of that car is the one I see most often here in Ohio. The Sedan seems like it's mainly bought by people who need the practicality of something like a Camry or Accord, but want to be a little more distinctive.

Do they still call it a Chrysler Sebring in Europe, or does it have a different name? How numerous are such American cars in Finland?

LOL My father got one of those when he was going through his midlife Crisis (Was a sports car man before that Porche BMW etc) Only got to ride in it a few times before he did that other mid life thing and traded my mother and us in on a newer model with no kids.

Was a nice car from what I remember though

Yes, it is Chrysler Sebring.

In statistics, chrysler is number 20 in most sold cars-list in finland. (from January to september 2004) But it is less than 3 % from all cars.

After 6 hours, I still like it.

Very very nice car...

Wasn't that around the time President Carter bailed them out of bankruptcy?

What kind of Jeep do you have?

Chrysler is a great company, as well as Dodge.

My next slated automobile (graduation present (don't give me watermelon about this, its from college and having to pay for it myself, I think I deserve something considering my current ride is rusting to pieces) ) will probably be the SRT-4 Neon or Stratus R/T.

My family is nothing but Dodge/Chrysler (cept me, right now I have an S-10 hand-me-down from a cousin). My mom's caravan from 88 lasted 8 years. She got the new 96 Caravan and still has it now, with abour 130k miles and the only problem was the tranny and exhaust. My sister has had a plethora of cars (lucky baitch), Daytona, Neon, Durango, and now Stratus. The only problem she has had (aside from being HIT by other cars) was oil change. My brother, well, owned a TON. From a Colt, 74 Duster (now races it on drag strips, about 12-11 second car), a Warlock, Dakotas, Rams, Cuda, etc. Hes the mechanic of the fam.

The only ugly duck I heard was the Intrepid 6 cyclinder 3.8 motor going bad after 40k miles.
