| 2005 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | I PURCHASED THIS CAR USED WITH 28,400 MILES ON IT FROM A DEALER AND HAD NO PROBLEMS AT ALL FOR MY FIRST 1000 MILES. I LOVED THE CAR! HOWEVER, THEN BEGAN THE LOCKED UP IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEM. AT FIRST, IT WAS MINOR, I ONLY HAD TO TRY TURNING THE KEY A DOZEN TIMES BEFORE IT WOULD START, BUT THAT GOT A LITTLE WORSE EVERY DAY. THEN TODAY, 6 MONTHS LATER, IT TOOK ABOUT 500 ATTEMPTS AND 20 MINUTES BEFORE IT STARTED. NOW I NEED A MECHANIC AND EXCEPT TO SPEND UPWARDS OF A $1000. I'VE PROBABLY HAD 25 DIFFERENT CARS IN MY LIFETIME AND NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING CLOSE TO THIS. DOESN'T CHRYSLER RECOGNIZE THIS IS THEIR MANUFACTURING DEFECT? HAVEN'T THEY READ THE CROSSFIRE FORUM? I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO. IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL! *TR |
| 2004 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | ITS TWO THINGS. I THINK BECAUSE OF ONE FAILURE, IT HAS CAUSED ANOTHER. THE ELECTRONIC SYSTEM AND OVER VOLTAGE, THE FAILURE OF THE VOLTAGE REGULATOR IN THE ALTERNATOR, I BELIEVE HAS CAUSED THE PROBLEMS WITH THE DRIVETRAIN (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, AND THE HYDROLIC BRAKING SYSTEM) I HAVE NOTICED SIGNIFICANT PRESSURE LOSS WHEN APPLYING BRAKES. IN ADDITION TO THAT, WHEN COMING TO A STOP THE CAR JERKS BACK AND FORTH IN WHILE IN 1ST OR 2ND GEAR , AS IF THE CLUTCH WASN'T ENGAGING. HOWEVER I COULD GET THAT TO JERKING TO STOP IF I APPLIED THE BRAKES REALLY HARD. 3-D WOULDN'T JERK, HOWEVER IT WOULD SLAM DOWN INTO THE LOWER GEARS WHEN COMING TO THE STOP. THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM STARTED HAPPENING BACK IN OCTOBER. THE TRANS, AND HYDROLIC ISSUES JUST STARTED HAPPENING MAY 23, 2005. |
