Yes, include on Custom Report CONSUMER COMPLAINT: ODI Case Number: 10197999

Component: AIR BAGS

Details: I OWN A 2004 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE. AS I WAS DRIVING THROUGH THE CITY YESTERDAY 07/30/07 I MADE A RIGHT HAND TURN ONTO A CROSS STREET AND SUDDENLY MY STEERING LOCKED. I WAS ABLE TO STOP JUST INCHES FROM A PARKED CAR. THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD ONLY MOVE SLIGHTLY TO THE LEFT. I EXERTED SOME FORCE TO THE WHEEL IN THE LEFT HAND DIRECTION AND SUDDENLY IT BROKE LOOSE AND BECAME FREE AGAIN, AT THE SAME TIME THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD CAME ON. I CAREFULLY DROVE THE CAR TO A DEALER WHERE I WAS INFORMED THAT THE CLOCKSPRING HAD BROKEN AND JAMMED THE STEERING COLUMN. THE DEALER SAYS THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN A CLOCKSPRING BREAK ON THIS TYPE OF CAR. THE CAR IS TO BE REPAIRED 08/01/07, AT A COST TO ME OF $350.00, AND I HAVE REQUESTED THAT THEY GIVE ME THE OLD PARTS. THIS CAR IS ONE OF VERY FEW PRODUCED AND IT ONLY HAS ABOUT 22,000 MILES ON IT. IT SCARES ME TO THINK WHAT MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED HAD THIS OCCURRED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, AND I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THIS COULD HAPPEN AGAIN, OR IF IT HAS HAPPENED TO OTHERS. *TR

Yes, include on Custom Report CONSUMER COMPLAINT: ODI Case Number: 10139659

Component: AIR BAGS:FRONTAL

Details: I WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT ON JULY 24, 2005 WHERE I REAR-ENDED A BUICK RENDEZVOUS IN MY CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE. I DID EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE FRONT END OF MY CROSSFIRE AND THERE WAS NO AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT ON THE CROSSFIRE. I SUSTAINED MINOR SEAT BELT INJURIES ON MY SHOULDER AND ACROSS MY STOMACH. I DID CALL CHRYSLER TO LET THEM KNOW THAT THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY ON THE CAR AND THEY STATED THEY WOULD HAVE THE CAR AND ACCIDENT INVESTIGATED. I LEARNED LATER THAT THE REASON THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY ON THE CROSSFIRE WAS THAT THE RELEASE FOR THE FRONT AIRBAGS IS IN THE FRAME OF THE VEHICLE AND THE ONLY WAY TO DEPLOY THEM IS TO BEND THE FRAME OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A MAJOR FAILURE IN THAT THE CROSSFIRE HAS SUCH A LOW PROFILE THAT THERE ARE VERY FEW CARS THAT YOU COULD BE IN AN ACCIDENT WITH AND THEN HAVE THE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY. *JB

Details: IGNITION ON MY 2004 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE HAS STOPPED WORKING AND THE KEY WILL NOT TURN. THIS DOES NOT ALLOW ME TO START MY CAR.

THIS IS SOOO FRUSTRATING BECAUSE I AM CONSTANTLY HAVING TO TAKE OFF TIME FROM WORK AGAIN COSTING ME MORE MONEY TO HAVE THIS FIXED. NOT TO MENTION HOW THE CAR COMPANIES WANT THE TAX PAYERS MONEY TO BAIL THEM OUT WITH THE FINANCIAL CRISIS. THEN THEY SHOULD STARTING BUILDING BETTER CARS EXCEPT FOR FROM THEIR PERSPECTIVE IT IS PROBABLY FINE BECAUSE THAT MEANS THEY WILL HAVE MORE CARS SALES WHICH IS MORE MONEY IN THEIR POCKETS.

Component: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION

Details: I PURCHASED A USED 2004 CROSSFIRE 8/15/2007 (YESTERDAY) AT 47K, GREAT CONDITION. RIGHT OFF THE BACK, IT WAS DIFFICULT TO TURN THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. THE WHEEL WAS HARD TO TURN AND REALLY HARD TO GET THE CAR STARTED. I DROVE HOME, BECAUSE THE DEALER GUY STARTED THE CAR FOR ME, RIGHT THEN I SHOULD HAVE QUESTIONED THE SITUATION. LATER THAT NIGHT I TOOK THE CAR OUT AND WAS STUCK IN A PARKING LOT FOR 2 HOURS. HAD TO GET A CAB HOME, GET MY FIANCE TO COME HELP ME TURN THE KEY. HE COULDNT DO IT EITHER. WE FINALLY SEEKED HELP FROM 2 GUYS AND ONE WAS ABLE TO FINALLY TURN THE KEY. GOT HOME, AND WAS NOT ABLE TO TURN IT AGAIN. I FEAR THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WILL ALWAYS DO THIS AND WHAT IF IT LOCKS WHILE DRIVING, LIKE THE OTHER COMPLAINT I READ. THE DEALER SAID THEY WILL PICK UP THE CAR TODAY AND TAKE A LOOK AT IT. *JB

Yes, include on Custom Report CONSUMER COMPLAINT: ODI Case Number: 10128957

Component: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Details: THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN ON THE INTERSTATE WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL SET. UPON APPROACHING AN EXIT, THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED AND THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD. THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED AGAIN AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. AFTER SEVERAL SUCCESSIVE ATTEMPTS TO BRAKE THE VEHICLE, THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS FINALLY OVERRIDDEN. THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS OBTAINED REPLACED THE SWITCH THAT GOVERNS THE CRUISE CONTROL AND BRAKING SYSTEM. THIS SWITCH FAILED, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIPS SERVICE DEPARTMENT, THIS OCCURRED BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IDENTIFIED THE BRAKING AS CLIMBING A GRADE AND IT WAS ACCELERATING IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN THE SPEED AT WHICH THE CRUISE WAS SET.

Component: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:ALTERNATOR/GENERATOR/REGULATOR

Details: ITS TWO THINGS. I THINK BECAUSE OF ONE FAILURE, IT HAS CAUSED ANOTHER. THE ELECTRONIC SYSTEM AND OVER VOLTAGE, THE FAILURE OF THE VOLTAGE REGULATOR IN THE ALTERNATOR, I BELIEVE HAS CAUSED THE PROBLEMS WITH THE DRIVETRAIN (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, AND THE HYDROLIC BRAKING SYSTEM) I HAVE NOTICED SIGNIFICANT PRESSURE LOSS WHEN APPLYING BRAKES. IN ADDITION TO THAT, WHEN COMING TO A STOP THE CAR JERKS BACK AND FORTH IN WHILE IN 1ST OR 2ND GEAR , AS IF THE CLUTCH WASNT ENGAGING. HOWEVER I COULD GET THAT TO JERKING TO STOP IF I APPLIED THE BRAKES REALLY HARD. 3-D WOULDNT JERK, HOWEVER IT WOULD SLAM DOWN INTO THE LOWER GEARS WHEN COMING TO THE STOP. THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM STARTED HAPPENING BACK IN OCTOBER. THE TRANS, AND HYDROLIC ISSUES JUST STARTED HAPPENING MAY 23, 2005.

Yes, include on Custom Report CONSUMER COMPLAINT: ODI Case Number: 10135278

Component: POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

Details: AUTO/TRANSMISSION/ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. IM JUST SO GLAD THAT THIS IS A DRIVE BY WIRE CAR, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE CARS ELECTRICAL SYSTEM CANT REGULATE ITS VOLTAGE PROPERLY. YOU WOULD THINK THAT DAIMLER WOULD HAVE THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM BUILT AS TOUGH AS NAILS. SEEING THAT THE CARS LIFE SUPPORT IS ALL DEPENDENT UPON PULSE POWER. SO MY COMPLAINT IS DO TO THE CARS FAILURE TO REGULATE ITS POWER, IT COOKED MY TRANSMISSIONS DRIVE PLATE LOCATED INTERNALLY ON TOP OF THE VALVE BODY. THEN SURGED BACK TO THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE & FRIED THAT. AND SOME HOW, AND I CANT FIGURE OUT WHY THIS OCCURRED BUT, THE INTERNAL GEARS INSIDE MY THROTTLE BODY GOT FUSED TOGETHER. THIS IS STRANGE TO ME SEEING THAT THE GEARS ARE MADE OUT OF A COMPOSITE. SO WITH ALL THAT HAS OCCURRED IT HAS LEFT THE CAR LIFELESS FOR OVER 90 DAYS NOW. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER CORP. OFFICES THROUGH THERE WEBSITE, PLEADING WITH THEM TO EXCHANGE THE BROKEN PIECES. THEY ONLY RESPONDED WITH "CONTACT YOU DEALER" SO I HAVE SENT MULTIPLE "PARTS AND SERVICE REQUESTS" TO THE TWO DEALERSHIPS THAT I CAN GO TO. ONE IS A " " FIVE STAR DEALERSHIP, AND THE OTHER IS NOT. I NEVER ONCE GOT A RESPONSE FROM EITHER ONE. DAIMLER SAID TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, SO I REPLIED "THE CAR DOES NOT DRIVE", SO AGAIN I REQUESTED A PARTS EXCHANGE, AND AGAIN THE SAME STOCK RESPONSE "CONTACT YOUR DEALER"...BLA BLA. I AM MORE THAN QUALIFIED TO INSTALL ALL PARTS THAT ARE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I GUESS THE RUMORS ARE ALL TRY, ABOUT CHRYSLER TURNING THEIR BACKS ON CUSTOMERS ONCE THE CAR HAS BEEN SOLD. ALL I KNOW IS I AM NOT PAYING FOR THIS, OR HEADS WILL ROLL. *JB

Details: CHRYSLER CROSS FIRE 2004. THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION VIOLENTLY SLIPS OUT OF FIRST GEAR INTO NEUTRAL AFTER THE CAR IS MOVING THE VECHILE AND THE CLUTCH IS DISENGAGED. ALBEIT INFREQUENTLY. THIS CAUSES A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, CROSSING TRAFFIC THAT ISNT CONTROLLED VIA A SIGN OR LIGHT. OR, AT ANY STOP WITH SOMEONE BEHIND YOU. IN THE 1,500 MILES IVE DRIVEN THE CAR SINCE I PURCHASED IT, I HAVE NARROWLY AVOIDED BEING REAR-ENDED THREE TIMES DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIPS SERVICE PERSONNEL HAVE OBSERVED AND VERIFIED THE TENDANCY OF IT TO SLIP FROM GEAR, (HOWEVER CHRYSLER STARS REPONDED THAT THE PROBLEM WASNT FREQUENT ENOUGH TO REPAIR). LEAVING EACH START INTO TRAFFIC IS THE CHANCE OF A COLLISION.*AK

IF THE TOP EDGE OF THE HANDLE HAS VERY THIN CHROME PLATING, THAT PORTION OF THE PLATING MAY WEAR AWAY MORE EASILY THAN MORE THICKLY PLATED AREAS AS THE DOOR HANDLE IS USED. THE WORN CHROME PLATING ON THE UPPER EDGE OF THE HANDLE MAY RESULT IN A CRACK OR SEPARATION BETWEEN THE CHROME PLATING ON THE INBOARD AND OUTBOARD SURFACES OF THE HANDLE, WHICH MAY FORM A SHARP EDGE. 2004 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE. *TR

Component: TIRES

Details: I AM FINDING IT HARD TO SHED LIGHT ON SAFETY ISSUES INVOLVING POORLY MANUFACTURED TIRES. I HAVE BEEN CORRESPONDING WITH CONTINENTAL TIRE NORTH AMERICA REGARDING THEIR GENERAL BRANDED TIRES THAT I PURCHASED ON MARCH 19, 2009. I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THESE TIRES SINCE THEN AND HAVE TRIED IN VAIN TO HAVE THE TIRE INSTALLERS REPLACE THEM. I THEN ESCALATED IT IN FEBRUARY WITH CONTINENTAL AND THEY HAVE BEEN LACKADAISICAL WITH THEIR APPROACH TO THIS ISSUE. THE TIRES ARE OF POOR BUILT QUALITY, UNRELIABLE, EXTREMELY NOISY AND THE RIDE QUALITY IS TERRIBLE. I EMAILED THEM SEVERAL TIMES POINTING TO THE FACT THE THESE TIRES SOUND AND FEEL UNSAFE, IT SWAYS MY VEHICLE ALL OVER THE HIGHWAY AND AFTER INSPECTION BY A REPUTABLE TIRE DEALER AT CONTINENTALS REQUEST IT SHOWED THAT THE TIRES ARE POOR TIRES AND MY VEHICLE HAS NO MECHANICAL FAULT THAT WOULD CONTRIBUTE TO THE POOR RIDE QUALITY. CONTINENTALS ONLY RESPONSE IS TO PROVIDE ONLY 50 % OF THE FRONT TIRES ALONE AND NOTHING FOR THE REARS. IN OTHER WORDS THEY DONT CARE IF I ALREADY SPENT 700 BUCKS ON THEIR CRAPPY TIRES THEY WANT ME TO PAY MORE TO REPLACE THEM. I AM JUST AN AVERAGE CONSUMER TRYING TO HOLD BIG COMPANIES ACCOUNTABLE AND THEY REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE A LEGITIMATE COMPLAINT. I HAVE PROVIDED FOR CONTINENTAL THE COUNTLESS NEGATIVE REVIEWS OF THEIR TIRES THAT POINT TO THE SAME ISSUE OF INSTABILITY ON THE ROADWAY, POOR BUILD QUALITY AND LOUD ROAD NOISE. I HAVE HAD TO RIDE MY MOTORCYCLE ON MOST OCCASIONS BECAUSE I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR WITH THOSE TIRES. *TR

Yes, include on Custom Report CONSUMER COMPLAINT: ODI Case Number: 10238545

Component: SUSPENSION:FRONT

Details: DESIGN OF VEHICLE DID NOT ALLOW FOR CAMBER ADJUSTMENT TO FRONT TIRES UNLESS A WELD IS CUT AND A NEW PIECE IS INSTALLED. THEREFORE, OVER TIME THE CAMBER OF THE TIRES CAN BECAME SUCH THAT THE FRONT TIRES WEAR ON THE INSIDE EDGE THAT CANNOT BE SEEN BY THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE DURING A NORMAL WALK AROUND INSPECTION. THIS PLACES THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE IN A POSITION THAT A TIRE WHICH APPEARS TO BE IN GOOD CONDITION WHEN INSPECTED, MAY BLOW OUT WITHOUT NOTICE WHEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT WOULD SEEM THAT A MANUFACTURERS DESIGN THAT REQUIRES A WELD TO BE CUT AND A NEW PART INSTALLED AT A LATER DATE TO ALLOW FOR A SIMPLE TIRE ALIGNMENT ADJUSTMENT AND MAY LEAD TO A POTENTIAL TIRE FAILURE UNTIL DISCOVERED BY THE OWNER, IS NOT A VEHICLE DESIGN WHICH INCORPORATES A HIGH DEGREE OF SAFETY ENGINEERING. *TR

THE DEALERSHIP INSPECTED THE VEHICLE THE FIRST TIME AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME IT WAS TAKEN BACK A SECOND TIME HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. THE DEALERSHIP BALANCED THE WHEELS AND STATED THE VIBRATION SHOULD GO AWAY. THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM; THE VEHICLE STILL VIBRATED AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. IT WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP ONCE AGAIN, BUT THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. AFTER DRIVING A WEEK OR SO THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK THIS TIME ALL FOUR TIRES WERE REPLACED. THIS STILL HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP STATES THERE IS NOTHING MECHANICALLY WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN ALERTED.

Details: I HAVE A 2004 CROSSFIRE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND REAR TIRE EXCHANGE (SOLD WITH MICHELIN SPORTS AND HAD TO PURCHASE CONTINENTAL ALL SEASON FOR MIDWEST WINTER DRIVING) THAT I HAD THREE BENT RIMS ON THE VEHICLE. THE BENT RIMS WERE TWO ON FRONT AND ONE REAR. THE DAMAGE ACCORDING TO THE DEALER TECH WAS PROBABLY DUE TO "POTHOLES". MY ISSUE IS 1) WHAT CONSTITUTES NORMAL DRIVING? POTHOLES ARE A NORMAL FACTOR IN LIFE WITH THE US ROAD SYSTEM. 2) THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE BENT WHEEL WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE LOW PROFILE TIRES USED ON CROSSFIRE AND SEBRING PRODUCTS. I HAVE NOT FOUND ANY REPORTS ON THIS, SO AM USING THIS MECHANISM TO FILE FORMAL PRODUCT REPORT ON WHEEL RELIABILITY AND SAFETY. I TRAVEL 45 MILES ONE WAY ON INTERSTATE DRIVING. WHAT CAN HAPPEN WITH BENT WHEELS AT 70 MPH? THE WHEELS COST $ 400+ FOR THE FRONT AND $ 500 PLUS FOR THE REAR. DOES THE CONSUMER HAVE TO CONTINUALLY PAY FOR POOR DESIGN? *JB

Component: AIR BAGS:FRONTAL

Details: I WAS INVOLVED IN AN AT-FAULT WRECK ON JULY 10, 2009. MY FOOT SLIPPED OFF THE BRAKE PEDAL WHEN SLOWING DOWN FOR A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND I WAS UNABLE TO STOP MY SLOWING CAR. I CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF A UPS TRUCK. MY CHEST SLAMMED INTO THE STEERING WHEEL BECAUSE THE DRIVERS AIRBAG FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE PASSENGERS AIRBAG DID. THE POLICE AND FIREMAN WERE EXTREMELY SHOCKED AND IT IS WRITTEN UP THE POLICE ACCIDENT REPORT. I NEED HELP IN CONTACTING CHRYSLER CONCERNING THIS INCIDENT. MY CAR WAS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD AND HAD ONLY 46,000 MILES ON IT. I AM NOW DISABLED AND CAN NO LONGER WORK TO SUPPORT MYSELF. THE HOSPITAL SENT ME HOME FROM THE EMERGENCY ROOM AND PAIN CONTINUED TO WORSEN IN MY NECK AND LOWER BACK UNTIL I WAS FORCED TO STOP WORKING AFTER 33 YEARS IN THE SAFETY FIELD. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH SEVERAL ATTORNEYS AND THEY HAVE INFORMED ME THEY WILL NOT TAKE THE CASE BECAUSE CHRYSLER IS IN BANKRUPTCY. BIG DEAL! THEY ARE STILL SELLING CARS!!!!! THE GOVERNMENT BAILED THEM OUT TO THE TUNE OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, THEIR EXECUTIVES STILL RECEIVED MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN BONUSES, ETC. AND I, AN OWNER OF ONE OF THEIR VEHICLES, WHICH I LONGED FOR SINCE IT WAS RELEASE AND AM NOW DISABLE DUE TO A MALFUNCTION OF THE AIRBAG, WHICH IS DOCUMENTED BY POLICE. THIS WILL NOT BE MY FINAL EFFORT TO RECEIVE DAMAGES FROM CHRYSLER. MY NEXT STEP IS TO CONTACT MY STATE REPRESENTATIVES AND SENATOR, AND TO THEN WRITE LETTERS TO EVERY NEWSPAPER WHO WILL PRINT MY LETTER. THIS IS A CRYING SHAME. I HAVE BEEN IN EXECUTIVE SAFETY MY ENTIRE CAREER AND THIS TAKES THE CAKE!!!!!!!! I DESERVE MORE THAT AN EXCUSE. I DESERVE AN EAR WITH CHRYSLER! IF I DO NOT HEAR SOON, I WILL TAKE MY NEXT STEP. I WILL CONTINUE UNTIL I RECEIVE COMPENSATION FOR MY LOSS. LOSS IN THE ABILITY TO SUPPORT MYSELF. *TR

DC SENT A TECH TO LOOK AT MY CAR AND BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE MY PROBLEM (HAPPENS SPORADICALLY), THEY DEEMED MY CAR NORMAL. SO ANYONE EXPERIENCING THE FOLLOWING PROBLEM CAN EXPECT TO BE TOLD ITS NORMAL? "LACK OF POWER WHEN AT A STOP, EVEN THOUGH YOU MIGHT BE MASHING IN THE GAS PEDAL (PEDAL TO THE METAL)" SO IF YOU FEAR FOR YOUR LIFE WHEN YOURE IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION AND YOUR CAR WONT MOVE, DONT WORRY BECAUSE ITS NORMAL? I BELIEVE I HAVE A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS CAR BECAUSE MULTIPLE TIMES I HAVE BEEN STOPPED ON THE ROAD AND THEN UNABLE TO MOVE BECAUSE MY CAR DOES NOT REGISTER THAT IM PUSHING DOWN ON THE PEDAL. THIS PAST WEEK-END IT HAPPENED AND I HAD A TRUCK COMING AT ME BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE! THANKFULLY THE DRIVER SWERVED AROUND MY CAR WITH A LOT A HONKING AND SUCH. BUT BECAUSE THEY WOULD NOT REPLICATE THAT PROBLEM, THEY SAY ITS FINE. IM CONCERNED THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN AND I WONT BE LUCKY ENOUGH TO GET OUT OF THE WAY! *NM

Yes, include on Custom Report CONSUMER COMPLAINT: ODI Case Number: 10253380

Component: EXTERIOR LIGHTING

Details: THE "CLEAR" COVER OVER THE PROJECTION HEADLIGHTS ASSEMBLY AND YELLOW SIGNAL LIGHT HAS BECOME SEVERELY CLOUDED/FADED PARTICULARLY ON THE UPPER HALF OF THE COVER. THE SIGNAL LIGHT IS BECOMING OBSCURED BEHIND THE CLOUDINESS. THE CAR HAS VERY LITTLE MILEAGE AND THE DEFECT IS NOT THE RESULT OF ROAD DEBRIS DAMAGE (ROCKS/SAND). NO REPAIR WAS MADE BECAUSE THE DEALER BLAMES THE MANUFACTURER FOR DENYING CLAIM, AND THE MANUFACTURER SAYS IT IS UP TO THE DEALER TO PERFORM THE WORK AND PLACE A CLAIM. I BELIEVE IT TO BE A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT BECAUSE I HAVE COMPARED THE LENS ON MY CAR TO OTHER VEHICLES OF THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL (SOME OF WHICH WERE OLDER AND HAD MUCH MORE MILEAGE) AND YET ARE IN BETTER CONDITION THAN THE ONE ON MY CAR. *TR

Details: AS I WAS PULLING OUT OF MY PARKING SPACE AFTER WORK, THE REAR WINDOW OF MY CONVERTIBLE FELL INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT OF THE CAR. SCARED THE HELL OUT OF ME. FORTUNATELY I WASNT GOING VERY QUICKLY OR I MIGHT HAVE LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR. GOT THE CAR HOME AND LOOKED THE ISSUE UP ON THE INTERNET AND WAS SURPRISED TO FIND THAT APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR, CHRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT IT, BUT WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM. THEIR ANSWER IS TO INSTALL A NEW ROOF AT $3,800. I CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE A PIECE OF GLASS COMING LOOSE LIKE THAT IN A MOVING VEHICLE CAN CAUSE A REAL PROBLEM.

Yes, include on Custom Report CONSUMER COMPLAINT: ODI Case Number: 10343614

Component: STEERING

Details: IGNITION KEY MECHANISM "LOCKS" AND CANNOT BE TURNED TO START THE VEHICLE LEAVING USER STRANDED AND REQUIRING TOW. THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM EXPERIENCED BY MANY USERS OF THIS VEHICLE (SEE COMMENTS AT WWW.CROSSFIREFORUM.ORG; SEARCHFOR "IGNITION, LOCK, CYLINDER") AND APPEARS EVEN IN VEHICLES WITH VERY LOW MILEAGE. DEALER ADVICE IS TO REPLACE THE "IGNITION LOCK CYLINDER" WHICH IS A VERY EXPENSIVE PROPOSITION. SOME REPORT THAT THE NEW PART ALSO FAILS WITHIN A RELATIVELY SHORT TIME. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECTIVE COMPONENT THAT SHOULD BE REPLACED WITH A RELIABLE ONE. I WAS STUCK IN A PARKING LOT AT 112F (SOUTHWEST US LOCATION) FOR 1/2 HOUR TRYING TO GET THE IGNITION MECHANISM TO TURN. THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE DUE TO A STEERING WHEEL LOCKING PIN THAT BECOMES JAMMED. IF THIS HAPPENS WHILE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN, THEN IT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *TR

Details: I HAVE A 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE. MY CAR WAS PARKED IN MY GARAGE AND WHEN I WENT OUT INTO THE GARAGE IN THE AFTERNOON ON APRIL 2, 2010 I NOTICED THE REAR WINDOW IN MY CONVERTIBLE TOP WAS PARTIALLY DISLODGED FROM THE ROOF FABRIC. I CALLED THE CHRYSLER DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED IT IMMEDIATELY AND WAS TOLD BY THEIR SERVICE DEPT. THAT IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AND THAT IT WOULD COST $2,200 PLUS TAX TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE ROOF. THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT THE ADHESIVE HOLDING THE WINDOW TO THE CONVERTIBLE TOP IS DEFECTIVE RESULTING IN IT COMING UNGLUED. I PURCHASED THE 7-70000 MAXIMUM CARE EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR $2,226 AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE. MY CHRYSLER DEALER HAS TOLD ME THAT THIS PROBLEM IS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. THERE IS NO WHERE IN THE WARRANTY THAT SAYS THIS IS NOT COVERED. I HAVE WRITTEN TO CHRYSLER CORP. AT 27777 INKSTER ROAD FARMINGTON HILLS, MI 48334, THE DIRECTOR OF DAMLIER CHRYSLER SERVICE WARRANTIES, P. O. BOX 2700, TROY, MICHIGAN 48007-2700 AND FLORIDA DEPT.

FOR THE PAST 3 WEEKS I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. SINCE CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM SO MUCH TO SAY THAT IT IS "A COMMON PROBLEM" WHY ARE THEY NOT MAKING GOOD FOR IT? AND SINCE I CAN NOT FIND A MENTION OF THIS PROBLEM IN THE EXTENDED WARRANTY, WHY ISNT IT COVERED. I WOULD BE GLAD TO SEND YOU A COPY OF THE WARRANTY, JUST REQUEST AND I WILL SEND. *TR

Details: I OWN A 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE CONV. THE BACK WINDOW BECAME UNGLUED AND IS FALLING OUT,I CANT DRIVE THE CAR AND IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO PUT THE TOP DOWN. THE ONLY FIX IM AWARE OF IS TO ORDER A NEW TOP FROM CHRYSLER AT THE TUNE OF 2500 DOLLARS. ITS A MAJOR PROBLEM AND THEY SHOULD RECALL THIS AND REPAIR AT NO CHARGE. THIS CAR WAS EXPENSIVE AND OBVIOUSLY I WILL NO LONGER BUY A CHRYSLER PRODUCT BECAUSE THEY WILL NOT FIX THEIR PROBLEM. *TR

Details: THE REAR WINDOW OF MY 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE HAS COME UNGLUED. THE CAR HAS BEEN GARAGE KEPT AND HAS ABOUT 10,000 MILES. I PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY HOWEVER, I AM TOLD THAT IT IS NOT COVERED. THIS IS A MANUFACTURER FAULT. I AM TOLD THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND THE ONLY REPAIR ADVISE GIVEN WAS TO HAVE THE TOP SENT BACK TO CHRYSLER AT MY EXPENSE TO HAVE THE REGLUE. I WAS QUOTED IN THE THOUSANDS TO HAVE THIS DONE. WHAT MAKES THEM THINK DOING THE SAME PROCESS AGAIN WILL NOW WORK? *TR

Is that all!
I was wondering what the first post meant. Now I know!

 

Difficult time in posting it. Didn't want to use the whole site but only way I could put the numbers down. Remember the Squeaking Wheel? Took me a year but finally got my headlights replaced by dealer. This forum is good for informing each other but the Safety Bureau is the only one that has any real power.
