1) 3 flat blown out tires $900.00 worth of damages ( no spair and sealer did not work ) pain in the *** not having a full size spare

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.

Your levels are low in your power steering.. and blame it on that..

we all know Chrysler dealers HATE working on crossfires..

If your online behavior is any indication of your behavior as a Crossfire customer, I suspect your pessimism has something to do with your negative dealer experience. If you honestly believe they hate working on your car, they may have been stressed out by you, that's all. Relaxed customers ALWAYS get the best service. Stay positive and take the car in. Let Chrysler diagnose the problem.

"American car"?? Nope. It's only a decal. :-)

Just to keep things in perspective, the last time I was stuck in snow and tried to rock the car free the engine caught fire. The damage was severe enough that the car was totaled by insurance.

Take your Crossfire to an independent shop and have your steering system inspected. The steering is not rocket science and any half way decent shop should be able to isolate and correct the problem - and at probably a far lower cost than what Chrysler would.

What's snow??

I've seen it on the mountain tops once...Is it why so many Crossifre owners have to "store" their car for 1/2 the year?..

OH MAN - That's COLD!!! That's just really COLD!!

Thanks for the help !

I'm not to sure about your math there a kilometer is shorter than a mile therefor it would mean that the kilometers would always be higher than the miles because How many km in 1 miles? The answer is How many km in 1 miles? The answer is 1.60934721869

so that means that if you have 50,000 kilometers on your car then it has(break out the calculator) approx. 31068.497474833138675960437962858 miles or somewhere around there but for simplicity ill round it off to 31069 miles
