Two problems related to alternator/generator/regulator have been reported for the 2004 Chrysler Crossfire. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2004 Chrysler Crossfire based on all problems reported for the 2004 Crossfire.
Daimler Chrysler have issued a recall to all merc brand cars for a voltage regulator check and replacment. The Crossfire has the exact same system as the slk but has not been included in the recall, there are dozens of cases where the lights dim at stop lights and at idle where it is clearly down to the voltage not being regualted. Dc have brushed aside my complaints.
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.
