Default Re: Crossfires are junk on wheels...

Firebase I understand your frustration but I have to disagree. I've had 3 Chrysler products since early 2001 and the have all been way beyond my expectations. I will share an experience with you. In 1985 my Honda Accord conked out about 3 days before our annual trip to the beach. I decided it was time for some new wheels and there was an '85 Monte Carlo staring at me every morning when I went to work. It was beautiful, light gold, wire wheels. So that evening I went to the dealer cut a deal and drove it home. The next day the check engine light came on while I was making my sales rounds (the car was new). I took it to the dealer and they did something and sent me on my way. On the way to the beach I could smell something burning and the clock stopped working. This continued for the entire week at the beach. When we got home I took it back in. No problem found, could not duplicate.
This went on until I finally went in and got the owner. He sat in the car, I turned it on and the smell of burning plastic was very noticeable. he looked at me and said I can't see any smoke, if I can't see it then I can't fix it. I said you are not going to fix it? No. I traded the car in about a month later on a new Maxima and never looked back, the dealer, about a year later went out of business. I also had a plethora of problems with my new 1979 Corvette. So I know how you feel. I'll never buy another GM product, ever. My Crossfire has been a great car so far. I like it better than any Z car I've owned and it is as much fun as my '69 1/2 and Z-28. I'm sorry you are having problems because it makes the experience no fun. I feel for you.

Pat
