Re: F*** this car and chrysler
Someone needs to have a reality check at the ripe age of 19.
Guess what kid? Life's not always going to be easy as pie.
Sometimes you're going to have to learn how to handle stress.
When your car hits the $20k mark in repairs, like Bat's has, then you can talk about how Chrysler sucks, and you wish they would burn in heck. Her car's issues were caused by the monkeys who built the car in Germany, and not caused by poorly repaired accident damage, like yours.
Seriously, the car's battery terminals are grounding out on the hood!
That's not normal.
And that's going to destroy the entire electrical system.
You need to find the cause and fix that, FIRST.
You might want to check to see if the common ground point on your car is tight, as that was the root cause of all of her electrical issues.
BC.

Then a tranny leak that never got fixed until I fixed it 3 days ago. 2 sagging head liners chipped or scratched paint everytime after it went to the dealers but of course it came in like that. Blown alternator, blown bcm, blown air pump blow radio. Towed numours times because the damn thing wouldn't run. Bent rim thanks to KOST TIRES. High beams stopped working. Wont pass inspection because of the damn moduels. Now today for a great ending the car catchs on fire because the battery shorts out on the hood. Now nothing works and the windows are down and its starting to rain. Im sure I forgot a couple other things about this major POS car but im to pissed off to remember them. Im sorry guys I really loved this car but I really think im done after this. I have owend both the NA and the SRT but now if the car cant be fixed will be moving on to something different. I will keep you guys posted with what happens to my car or if I end up getting something different. Sorry for any spelling errors.

Chrysler blows in general for parts and service. I have had mine since I was 22 and had no issue except the typical shot cam pos. sensor which was replaced for free by a Subaru dealer where I got it. Any car has potential to be reliable no matter what brand or model. Luck factors in though lol. Trust me no matter how much schooling anyone has for cars, it doesn't mean they know this hybrid creature. Most dealers won't even touch them other than an oil change. I wish you luck on learning the tricks to it and sorry you got a bad deal.

Question: why do you think these few are in the teens? And what part of being in the teens makes you think the maintenance would be less than when it was still worth $60K just a couple years ago?
From another perspective, would you buy a $12,000 Viper, when GOOD samples still bring $30K?
If you can't afford to fix your SRT, you can't afford to drive a real Hummer.

Repairs on those things are not cheap. The Central Tire Inflation System, for example, is finicky and $$$$$$ to repair and the electronics are notoriously poor (esp. in early '90s models.) For your wallet's sake, I hope all goes well with your car. I think you'd come to regret getting rid of it.

Re: F*** this car and chrysler
You shouldn't take the heat, I said it too. You appreciate things more when you're the one laying down the 14k for a car. You tend to not beat down on it as much. My parents bought me my first car which I never mistreated, I used it the way a first car would be used. I've had 2 cars before my crossfire. Treated every one of em the same. I guess for me growing up in a family that didn't have much money made me appreciate things alittle more than if I grew up in a family where if I got everything I wanted id tend to be a little careless with it because I knew if I broke it id get another one =/

IMO it has absolutely NOTHING to do with age, it is all frame of mind.

I hope mine doesn't end up like yours. Sounds like yours mostly has trouble because of the accident. Mine has been running well. Had it act strange randomly shifting into neutral once or twice, but otherwise flawless. Only problem I have with mine is cosmetic damage, none of it my fault. A new big dent next to the gas cap from a door (the ONE time I park close to people) paint peeling from the trim on the roof, and a split front spoiler that I don't know when it happened, but someone hit it.
Other than that I love it. Hopefully it lasts me a long time. I am constantly worried about it though.
Good luck with yours. Hopefully you figure something out that isn't too expensive.
Re: F*** this car and chrysler
Mr. Lama check your tranny fluid. I kept having that problem with the tranny going into netrual come to find out I had a tranny leak up near the passenger catilytic converter. Its not the common spot for the tranny leak but I fixed that and then did a filter and fluid flush and now have not had the problem once.
Re: F*** this car and chrysler
I just got a flush about a month ago. 
I haven't seen a leak, but I'll have to get under it and look closer. Meanwhile I need to fix my brakes squeaking. It is really bad. Stops fine, but coming to a slow stop it screeches like nothing else. New pads, so maybe just need to burn off the first few layers. Or maybe some anti squeak stuff on the back.
Always something.

Re: F*** this car and chrysler
Ha so I got some great information from the dealership today. Im actually amazed they called me and told me this. Between them pushing my car inside and putting it on the lift the managed to but a golf ball size dent in the lower middle of the passanger door. Now this is the kind of dealership I was hoping to find. Yes the put a dent im my door but then went on to say they were going to fix the dent and give me a detail inside and out and engine compartment and a free oil change. Sweet lets hope the car is going to get fixed.

They have a lifetime warranty, so I told the guys at autozone and just got a new set. Hopefully some of the stuff will stop these from squeaking for good. Such an annoying noise. Any tips to putting it on, or is it simply spray it on (my stuff is in an aerosol type bottle) and stick them back on. Also, do I do it to both pads, or just the outside ones?
Sorry to hijack the thread cassidy.
That is good news though, definitely a sign of an honest dealership. Hopefully they can do something about the car, and if not at least tell you it straight. Not, "we got it fixed" and the car explodes a week later.And if nothing else, at least you'll have a really clean crossfire that doesn't work.
