All they will do for you is contact the dealer, find out their side of the story and get back to you telling you what you already know. They will not elevate your issue or give out phone numbers to someone that might be able to help you.
Been there and done it all. I speak from experience... I've had just about every problem you can have with the Crossfire, from a transmission swap, a rear end replaced and most issues in between. I got most of them fixed, but for the most part it was always an uphill fight.
Do some searches on Chrysler service. There have been a handful of members that spouted off that they had an inside line to the higher ups in Chrysler to get their issues resolved. None of them have ever shared a name or phone number with other members that needed help.
I do like my car, it is a keeper but as I've said in the past... "the Crossfire being sold and serviced by Chrysler is a three ring circus all in one ring".
Every service department is different and some are crap like a couple around mine. However they all aren't. That's why I said try another dealership. I've had good district manager and bad, but if you fine a good service department you should have no problems getting anything taken care of as long as it's not physical damage and it actually is a warranty item.
