Lemon #000317
After months in the dealer all together, #000317 is going to become a lemon. To any of you that have gone through this with your crossfire, did you have to pay anything out of pocket?
My chrysler rep is telling me i'm going to have to pay around $2,300 to get my car replaced due to the mileage at the first few problems with my car which was 7,400 miles. To me this sounds ridiculous because during the first week that I had my car in July, I noticed a knocking noise in the engine which ended up being that one of the engine mounts was missing! and another was loose. That happened while my car was less than 1000 miles. After a couple weeks in the shop to get the engine bolts, I got my car back. Since then, my car has had several other problems. The next problem was with the traction control system. Occasionally, while driving in a turn, the traction control will engage for seemingly no reason ( no other car has done that to me at those locations ). Neither of the two dealers that I took the car to have been able to find a problem. However, to my surprise and bad luck it has happened more than 3 times almost causing me to have an accident. The latest problem with my crossfire has been that the rear hatch was leaking water through one of the wiring harnesses. My car was in the shop for more than 30 days just this time and most of the time they spent getting the parts from germany. My dealer has been awful and they have wasted a bunch of my time. At one time they told me my car was ready to pick up and I get to the dealer and my car was all taken apart, ready for me to take. I immediately rejected it and asked them to call me when it was ready. Since then, I have gotten my car back twice and it is still not fixed completely. Now that I actually have my car... my dealer apparently broke the rear hatch lock because now it makes a nasty little noise when I lock/unlock the doors.
