2005 Chrysler Crossfire

THE "CLEAR" COVER OVER THE PROJECTION HEADLIGHTS ASSEMBLY AND YELLOW SIGNAL LIGHT HAS BECOME SEVERELY CLOUDED/FADED PARTICULARLY ON THE UPPER HALF OF THE COVER. THE SIGNAL LIGHT IS BECOMING OBSCURED BEHIND THE CLOUDINESS. THE CAR HAS VERY LITTLE MILEAGE AND THE DEFECT IS NOT THE RESULT OF ROAD DEBRIS DAMAGE (ROCKS/SAND). NO REPAIR WAS MADE BECAUSE THE DEALER BLAMES THE MANUFACTURER FOR DENYING CLAIM, AND THE MANUFACTURER SAYS IT IS UP TO THE DEALER TO PERFORM THE WORK AND PLACE A CLAIM. I BELIEVE IT TO BE A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT BECAUSE I HAVE COMPARED THE LENS ON MY CAR TO OTHER VEHICLES OF THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL (SOME OF WHICH WERE OLDER AND HAD MUCH MORE MILEAGE) AND YET ARE IN BETTER CONDITION THAN THE ONE ON MY CAR. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH ON NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS, THE VEHICLE HESITATED WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE RPM'S REVVED AND THEN DECREASED, FOLLOWED BY THE ENGINE STALLING. THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL PRIOR TO THE STALLING. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESTART AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER EIGHT TIMES FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE WIRING WAS ADJUSTED WITHIN THE COMPUTERIZED SYSTEM. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES, BUT THERE WERE NO RESOLUTIONS. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY INOPERABLE AND HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,556 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 69,650.

I OWN A 2005 CROSSFIRE LIMITED CONVERTIBLE. I HAVE HAD 3 INCIDENTS IN LESS THAN 3 MONTHS WITH MY CAR NOT STARTING. THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT GET THE PROBLEM TO REPEAT UNTIL THIS TIME. THEY SAID IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH AFTER FACTORY INSTALL OF A NEW STEREO SYSTEM CREATING A FUSE SHORTAGE, AND DRAINING THE BATTERY. IF THIS IS A TRUE PROBLEM FOR CHRYSLER CROSSFIRES THE CONSUMER NEEDS TO HAVE THIS INFORMATION KNOWN BEFORE PURCHASING, NOT AFTER THE PURCHASE. *JB

2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE WITH CONTINENTAL TIRES. AT 12000 MILES THE RIGHT REAR TIRE DEVELOPED A SIDE WALL BULGE ON THE INSIDE. I FELT THE BUMPING BUT DID NOT SEE THE PROBLEM. WHILE TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE 70 THE TIRE BLEW OUT. THE DEALER CLAIMED ROAD HAZARD DAMAGE AND I HAD TO PURCHASE A NEW TIRE. AT 20300 MILES THE LEFT REAR TIRE DEVELOPED A BULGE ON THE INSIDE. THIS TIME I REMOVED THE TIRES TO LOOK FOR THE PROBLEM. THIS TIRE HAS NOT BLOWN OUT AND THE BULGE IS EVIDENT. AGAIN THE DEALER IS CLAIMING ROAD DAMAGE. TWO TIRES, SAME MANUFACTURER DEVELOPED THE SAME PROBLEM. IF TRULY WAS ROAD HAZARD WHY WAS THERE NO BULGES OR RUPTURES ON THE OUTSIDE SIDE WALL? *JB

THERE IS A DANGEROUS ELECTRICAL SHORT LOCATED WITHIN THE DASH BOARD AREA OF MY CROSSFIRE. THE ELECTRICAL SHORT COULD LEAD TO A HOT SPOT IN THE WIRING HARNESS, WHICH COULD LEAD TO A FIRE IN THE PASSENGER SIDE DASHBOARD AREA. IF THIS FIRE SHOULD HAPPEN WHILE THE AUTOMOBILE IS BEING STORED INSIDE MY HOME GARAGE, THE RESULTS WOULD BE CATASTROPHIC. AS ILLUSTRATED BY THE VIDEO I UPLOADED TO THE FOLLOWING URL LINK FOR YOUR VIEWING HTTP://PHOTOS.IMAGEEVENT.COM/FIREBASE/VIDEOS/CROSSFIRE%20TAPPING%20IN%20DASH%20SOUND.WMV , YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE THE ELECTRICAL SHORT OCCURRING, AND HEAR THE AUDIBLE CLICKING, AS THE SHORT IS OPENING AND CLOSING. PLEASE NOTE I FURNISHED TO DAIMLER CHRYSLER'S DISTRICT MANAGER A COPY OF THE SAME VIDEO, BY WAY OF A UPS DELIVERY. HE MADE THE CLAIM PEOPLE DOCTOR VIDEOS. THEREFORE, HE REFUSED TO REVIEW THE VIDEO. AT THIS TIME A HARD COPY OF THE VIDEO, AND THE ABOVE REFERENCED LINK, ARE BEING FORWARDED TO THE ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE OF CONSUMER AFFAIRS IN ALABAMA, FOR THEIR EVALUATION. *JB

I NOTIFIED DAIMLER-CHRYSLER (DC) THAT I HAD A PROBLEM WHEN MY DEALER TRIED TO FIX IT 4 TIMES TO NOT AVAIL. DC SENT A TECH TO LOOK AT MY CAR AND BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE MY PROBLEM (HAPPENS SPORADICALLY), THEY DEEMED MY CAR NORMAL. SO ANYONE EXPERIENCING THE FOLLOWING PROBLEM CAN EXPECT TO BE TOLD ITS NORMAL? "LACK OF POWER WHEN AT A STOP, EVEN THOUGH YOU MIGHT BE MASHING IN THE GAS PEDAL (PEDAL TO THE METAL)" SO IF YOU FEAR FOR YOUR LIFE WHEN YOU'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION AND YOUR CAR WON'T MOVE, DON'T WORRY BECAUSE ITS NORMAL? I BELIEVE I HAVE A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS CAR BECAUSE MULTIPLE TIMES I HAVE BEEN STOPPED ON THE ROAD AND THEN UNABLE TO MOVE BECAUSE MY CAR DOES NOT REGISTER THAT I'M PUSHING DOWN ON THE PEDAL. THIS PAST WEEK-END IT HAPPENED AND I HAD A TRUCK COMING AT ME BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE! THANKFULLY THE DRIVER SWERVED AROUND MY CAR WITH A LOT A HONKING AND SUCH. BUT BECAUSE THEY WOULD NOT REPLICATE THAT PROBLEM, THEY SAY ITS FINE. I'M CONCERNED THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN AND I WON'T BE LUCKY ENOUGH TO GET OUT OF THE WAY! *NM

WE JUST BOUGHT A 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE ROADSTER SRT6. LAST NIGHT (13 MAR 2006) WE WERE DRIVING THROUGH TOWN. WHEN MY WIFE STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN THE CAR STALLED. TURNING THE KEY OFF AND STARTING AGAIN THE CAR STARTED AND RAN. THE CAR HAS ONLY 600 MILES. I READ WHERE OTHER CHRYSLERS HAVE SUDDEN STALLING PROBLEMS AND HAVE HAD RECALLS. NOT SURE IF THERE WERE VERY FEW CROSSFIRES AND IF THEY OUGHT TO BE INCLUDED IN A RECALL. *JB
