I hate to say it, but I can't blame you a bit!
I was driving a 2007 Jeep Patriot Sport 4x4, and I actually traded it in on the Crossfire, despite taking a big loss (Patriots have pretty poor trade-in value), because it had so many obvious and major problems that Chrysler would never really own up to.

It's too bad, because I really liked the idea of having a fairly fuel-efficient 4 wheel drive vehicle, and the Patriot checked off a lot of the boxes of what I wanted out of something like that. (EG. Passenger front seat folded down flat as well as the back seats, allowing items as long as full size extension ladders to fit, despite the car's small size.) But time after time, my Chrysler experience was poor.... Out of 4 or 5 dealerships in my area, only one was really considered capable of doing quality service work --and they started ripping off my mom when she took in her Dodge van for work. (Kept telling her it needed things like new brakes or tires when it didn't.)

When the Patriot's CVT transmission started going out and needed a total replacement at only 68,000 miles or so (and I had just paid hundreds to have the fluid changed in it, only 10K miles earlier), I was pretty much done with it.

I've been saying I'd never buy a Chrysler vehicle again (same sentiment I've held about Chevy products for decades), but the Crossfire interested me because it was really much more of a discount priced Mercedes than a Chrysler. I think the trick with it is going to be keeping it away from any Chrysler dealerships if at all possible ....
