Can Chrysler service save me money?

How do I know if my Chrysler drivetrain is damaged?

Your Chrysler Cirrus drivetrain might be damaged if you notice strange noises from the rear of your vehicle, see fluid leaking, or have issues turning.

How often should I come in for Chrysler Cirrus differential service?

Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. We generally recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.

What triggers the malfunction indicator light (MIL) in a Cirrus?

If your Cirrus has its malfunction warning light (more commonly called the check engine light) illuminated, it could indicate engine troubles, problems with the transmission, electrical issues, malfunctioning sensors, connector problems, or misfire issues.

Can you reset your Cirrus’s malfunction warning light at home?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable. The check engine light is typically a sign of a problem in one of your Cirrus's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue. Instead, you should bring your vehicle to a reliable auto shop to have the underlying problem identified and fixed to help ensure the safety and reliability of your Cirrus.

How worried should I be about a drivetrain malfunction in my Cirrus?

If you experience a drivetrain malfunction in your Cirrus, it is important to have it inspected by a professional mechanic as soon as possible to identify the underlying cause and perform the necessary repairs. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can be dangerous and cause further damage to your car.

Is my Cirrus’s transmission part of the drivetrain?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your Cirrus’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your Cirrus forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.

Care for your 1997 Chrysler Cirrus to maintain its performance power. Follow Chrysler's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.
