Car Will Not Start Problems of Chrysler Crossfire

My2005 Crossfire roadster convertible just stopped running twice while driving on a very busy road! the first time I was stopped at a light when the car died. I had no power and the car would not restart. As the light had now turned green every car in every lane started to move forward. Of course the person behind me started beeping and screaming! I got out of the car (very dangerous) and started to push the car over several lanes to the shoulder of the road. Two men jumped out and helped me push it to a side road off the main road. Cars were now flying past us going at least 45 to 50 mph. My car was towed to my home Chrysler dealership and after 3 days the mechanic replaced the engine relay control module which had an internal failure. The car ran fine for 9 months when the same thing happened but this second time I was going 45 mph when the car just died. I nearly got hammered trying to allow my slowing vehicle's momentum to take me across several lanes of traffic trying to get to the shoulder of the road before stopping. It was frightening and very dangerous!!! my car was towed to a local Chrysler dealership but after two days I was told they did not have the equipment to analyze or fix the problem. Fortunately my insurance company was kind enough to have the car towed a second time to the dealership I used on the first incident. They have now had my car for over a week with very little communication. They claim they can't get the car started (duh) and they can't even get the car into neutral to push it into a bay to work on it. (hunh?). They claim they need a computer part from mercedes to analyze the problem. (what?) now they tell me they got the car into the bay and are charging the battery. (really that is all they've done in 7 days?) I am more than frustrated with them. . . I was told by the non-service advisor that they have many cars in their shop for months!.

Car runs fine one day then will not start at random times, turn the ignition get no sound from engine. Dash lights come on, fan and radio comes on but car will not start. Wait a few hours or a few days, it cranks right up as intended. Electrical system has been checked and always show good results.

Ignition sticks. At times wheel will not turn and car will not start. Don't know if it can lock up while the car is operating. Numerous on-line complaints appear regarding the Crossfire wheel lock and ignition malfuntion. Recall before it causes accident would be warranted.

The skreem (sentry key remote entry module?) failed while my daughter was pumping gas. Evidently, the car cannot be started if this module is not functioning properly, thus leaving my 17 year old stranded. After much research, mostly via Crossfireforum. Org, it appears as though this part has an extremely high failure rate. My understanding is that the engine and components are essentially the same as the mercedes slk and that mercedes recalled the compatible module, but Chrysler didn't. Moreover, this particular part can only be ordered and programmed by a Chrysler dealership, which means no options and big bucks! please look into and monitor past and future complaints concerning this poorly designed/manufactured essential component in the Chrysler Crossfire. Thank you for your time and effort on our behalf.

Car wouldn't start several times since purchase. The battery was fully charged, took it to a Chrysler dealer who "cleaned up some grounds". The lights, stereo, etc worked but the motor didn't even make a sound when trying to start. One time when it did start I was making a turn when the car completely died. . . I didn't realize it at first because the heater, radio, panel were all lit up and working. I was very lucky to be able to make it safely to the side of the road. Had to have the car towed back to the garage. When they started working on it, the panel behind the glove box started smoking. I now have a very nice, useless little car with only 50,000 miles on it because #Chrysler can't fix it for me.

I'm the owner of a 2004 Chrysler Crossfire. My car will not crank-up anymore because my key will not completely turn. I called for a locksmith and he informed me that my key cyclinder needs replacing and only a Chrysler mechanic (approx. $1200) should repair it. I've found that this is a common trend with all of the Chrysler Crossfires, 2004-2008. I believe this to be a manufactory defect and warrants an investigation and recalled.
