Good afternoon All.

Just a quick hello to my fellow Crossfire enthusiasts.

I'll be sure to check in and communicate longer for future contact but, just wondering if anyone else has had the same unfortunate problems with their 'pride n joy' as I have.

In short; I have had to return my new 2004 Crossfire Coupe for service no less than 15 times in 9 months. Almost all deficiencies have been electrical based. I have been without my vehicle for more than 30 days out of this time period and received NOTHING but, deflections from both the dealership and corporate level.

Any suggestions???
Jeff

 

Hi:
Welcome to the forum. If you do a search there have been a few people that had a similar experience. A lot of your next step will depend on the laws in your state.

 

I think I have to go down this road again... You bought a "NEW" '04 nine months ago, which was probably built nearly two years before that. It was probably sitting in the rain, snow, salt air and sun unmaintained and exposed to all the elements that are destructive to anything mechanical or electronic.

Do you think they put the car in some nice hermetically sealed garage while it sat waiting for a buyer ? Sorry to sound rude, but your electrical problems may be the least of your worries... I would bet the connectors are corroded from salt air and moisture.

Do you think a TV would work after sitting on a dock for a year in the elements ?

 

Basically you will need to return that yellow card in your owner's manual for the lemon law process to start. Then have DC start a car ticket for you so everything can be documented. Then I would definitely recommend seeing an attorney to advise you every step of the way or to even take over. Most lemon laws require that the car was out of service for more than 30 days and/or if they tried to fix the same exact problem 3 times or more and you gave them one more chance to fix it. I would definitely consult an attorney. You will have time limits and mileage limits, etc that will go against you. Good luck, keep us posted.

 

I am not sure anyone noticed that you are from Toronto? I think you would have to see if Canada has the same "Lemon Laws" as the USA. I would bet that they do. I think that you could check it out on line.
