2) $5000.00 worth of damages due to a car losing it oli pan infront of me on the high way.. it flying off his car right into mine and splting the front if my car in half
3) at dinner twice.. come out and some one hit the side of my car hit and run. 600.00 the 1st time and 1200 the second time/
4) rock twice has kicked up on the highway on blown out my fog light. $200.00 each time to be fixed .
5) The computer crash out of the blue.. fried the everything incl keys. $5k in damages
6) Any cold day, the car does Not start and has to be boosted, and on ramdom days like other members posted about the car even on hot days .. sometimes does not start...
7) Get stuck in the snow... which is a normal thing.. rock myself out.. and now power steering issues..
8) Dealers high cost for services..
Now I know most of these issues are bad luck and Not the car.. But again in all of my others leases.. I paid the monthly payment got the odd services.. and Nothing else.. No other costs.. This car is a Nightmare!!!
You are right.. can't blame Chrysler or the car.. so what I will say is my Crossfire is JUNK .. and the worse and most costly car I have owned..
As far was winter driving.. I have driven IS300, RX8's . 911's , M3 all through winter No issues.. Thrown on blizzaks and I was perfect..
1. with the 3 tires blowing out, it's the owners job to check the condition of the tires, good tires just don't blow out.
2. since it's a lease you should have full coverage insurance and aside from that the driver who's oil pan fell off would have been legally bound to fix that problem since his shitty car caused it.
3. you could do like I do and park way the hell away from everyone else and walk a little farther not only is this good for the car but also for you
4. rocks just don't fly up off the ground without a little help or maybe you were following to closely
5. maybe you should have priced check that one, or maybe with you boosting the car every time it was cold you fried it.
6. it's called a battery warmer or maybe the battery just needs to be replaced due to a loss of cca cold cranking amps that occurs when a battery is nearing the end of it's life cycle
7. this car is not really a snow/ice driving car it can be done I know I've driven in the snow with it but only because I didn't check the weather before I left for work and I wasn't going to stay at work
it just seems to me that you are bashing this car yet you didn't want to take care of it. I wonder if you put 93 octane in it or if you put the right oil in it.
I'm glad that someone who's bashing this car has got to turn it in, and It doesn't matter what the resale values are because you didn't purchase it ou leased it.
