Was shopping. Left store , got in my car , put the key in & it would not turn (froze). Had to have it towed to dealership. (cross motors lou ky). . . . . . Cost $1,569. . . . . Have found out that this is an on going problem with many Crossfire owners everywhere. Too many people are having problem with "defective key switch" . Should warrant a callback from mfgr.

Vehicle shut down while driving and would not restart.

Vehicle leaks water into driver side compartment every time it rains. As it does so the blower motor fills with water and can lead to a fire starting in the cars cabin. Chrysler was contacted but no repair was offered though this problem is a manufacturing defect.

When you put the key in to start engine it won't turn in any direction. Can not remove key. Shook, jiggled, turned , key with no movement. Took about 3 hours of shaking key in lock before it worked. Has done this every time the last few times I drove car. Now the car just sits in the driveway. I have been told it will not ever turn again. Would not like to have the engine die on freeway and have to re-start the engine with the key acting the way that it does, would be sitting in traffic shaking the key for 2 to 3 hours.

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.

The vehicle was being driven on the interstate with the cruise control set. Upon approaching an exit, the brakes were applied and the car lurched forward. The brakes were applied again and the vehicle accelerated at a high rate of speed. After several successive attempts to brake the vehicle, the cruise control was finally overridden. The dealership where the vehicle was obtained replaced the switch that governs the cruise control and braking system. This switch failed, which caused the vehicle to accelerate when the brakes were applied. According to the dealership's service department, this occurred because the vehicle identified the braking as climbing a grade and it was accelerating in order to maintain the speed at which the cruise was set.

My car's spoiler malfunctioned the first day; it would jam in the up position. My windshield sprayer wouldn't work either. The clock advances on its own by approximately 2 min each day. All of these problems existed from day one, as I drove off of the dealers lot. First two problems were fixed with a lot of agony. My clock hasn't been fixed. I've taken it to the dealer twice and they were unable to reproduce the "code" each time. I'm ready to return the car.

I have a 2004 Chrysler Crossfire. The radio display is very dim and cannot be read n normal daylight conditions. This a possible safety hazard for those who will concentrate on the radio instead of the road. Althought I don't believe I woould do this I find myseld looking at the radio trying to see the station when I should be keeping my eyes on the road. The situation is made very sangerous by the dim display.

Auto/transmission/electrical system. I'm just so glad that this is a drive by wire car, especially when the cars electrical system can't regulate its voltage properly. You would think that daimler would have the electrical system built as tough as nails. Seeing that the cars life support is all dependent upon pulse power. So my complaint is do to the cars failure to regulate its power, it cooked my transmissions drive plate located internally on top of the valve body. Then surged back to the transmission control module & fried that. And some how, and I can't figure out why this occurred but, the internal gears inside my throttle body got fused together. This is strange to me seeing that the gears are made out of a composite. So with all that has occurred it has left the car lifeless for over 90 days now. I have contacted Chrysler corp. Offices through there website, pleading with them to exchange the broken pieces. They only responded with "contact you dealer" so I have sent multiple "parts and service requests" to the two dealerships that I can go to. One is a " " five star dealership, and the other is not. I never once got a response from either one. Daimler said take it to the dealership, so I replied "the car does not drive", so again I requested a parts exchange, and again the same stock response "contact your dealer". . . Bla bla. I am more than qualified to install all parts that are needed to be replaced. I guess the rumors are all try, about Chrysler turning their backs on customers once the car has been sold. All I know is I am not paying for this, or heads will roll.
