about a month ago i had damage under neath my car so i took it to the dealership to get it looked at, they told me my radiator cracked and was leaking, the price to get it fixed was expensive to i took it to a independent shop for them to look at. they told me i have two radiators and that both are leaking so i called Chrysler and i told them that this place said this was the problem with my car, they said that is not possible because my srt6 only has one radiator. so i went ahead and had the dealership replace my radiator for out the door fee of $500 so they did and a month later i take it in for service on my alarm and i also asked them to look at why my car is leaking maybe a spoonful of anti freeze every couple days and they ended up telling me my second radiator is partially broken and will cost $800 to fix...geez i'm running out of money here lol any suggestions? should i just let the car be because for the past month i have not fixed my "second" radiator designed to cool the supercharger i haven't had problems except for a very minor leak, should i leave it alone or what? any suggestions?

 

I suggest a new dealership.

 

went to 2 different dealerships that are best with pricing and both said it will cost this much

 

I suggested a new dealership not for the price, but the fact they had told you you only had 1 radiator in your srt.

 

I suggest you print our this picture and show it to them

Is your SRT not under warranty?? Just get the bigger one from LET. I tihnk the price is $320 and it's a DIY job..you might have to get the bigger pump too, but it's still cheaper than going the $800 stealership route

 

This does NOT sound like a warranty issue - I would suggest that you stop hitting things with the front of your car.

 

HAHA good one. that what i was thinking.

 

The thing I found was there are hardly any good crossfire mechanics, I had one and he left, and is know taking classes at Benz...... I cant find any 5 star or any for that matter in a 2 hour drive from my home, they pretty muchdont know what they are doing, and most Benz dealers dont want to get Chrysler on their hands...lol

I decided to buy a benz and wait for the SRT, my son is also going to sell his XF and go AMG...

 

You are correct, Chrysler is not very good with service. Nor is Ford. Can't comment on GM.

 

I think for the most part after the warranty expires XF owners will probably need to handle repairs on their own.

 

Independent Mercedes repair shops seem to be happy to work on the engine and drivetrain portions of the car. The rest is probably gonna be pretty much up to us.

 

Use a radiator stop leak additive. Not really. Just kidding.

How are you getting the leaks anyway?

 

He is hitting things. HAHAHA

 

basically a couple months ago a tire damage the bottom portion of my car and it damaged both radiators, the main radiator was leaking a lot and i noticed maybe a tea spoon full of coolant dripping every couple days from my lower radiator

 

and the only thing i have hit with my car in the 3 years i have driven it is that one tire that damaged the bottom of my car

 

and you live in Columbus, i live in Los Angeles....a lot more problems occur out here with road hazards buddy

 

So sorry where you live. Damn.

 

you could just be like me and take it to a merc dealership. they fixed my trunk rattle under warranty. of course the rattle is back but i dont think it will ever be gone completely so i drive my slk32 or my jaguar more often now

 

i called 3 localmb dealerships around where i live and none will work on my car, they said chrysler dealerships only

 

By luck, my Chrysler dealership is good. They have special mechanics designated to work on Vipers and Crossfires. So I am pretty comfortable, even though nothing has gone wrong. They handle my state inspection. Call around and ask for certified Crossfire mechanics. Good luck
