2004 Chrysler Crossfire

IGNITION COMPLETELY LOCKED WHEN KEY PUT IN CANNOT TURN AT ALL. DEALER SAID THE ONLY SOLUTION IS TO COMPLETELY REPLACE THE IGNITION WITH HOUSING UNIT TOTALING RIGHT AROUND $1500. ALSO HAVING PROBLEMS WITH ALARM GOING OFF RANDOMLY AND CANNOT DIAGNOSE THAT UNTIL IGNITION IS FIXED AND CAR CAN BE TURNED ON. VERY EXPENSIVE JUST TO FIND OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE CAR. SEEN THIS PROBLEM REPORTED ALL OVER THE PLACE AND SEEMS TO BE INEVITABLE WITH THIS CAR BUT STILL NO RECALL. *TR

EVER SINCE I HAVE HAD MY CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE THE IGNITION CYLINDER HAS GIVEN MY PROBLEMS, KEY WILL NOT TURN IN CYLINDER, NOT EVEN TO POSITION ONE! AND THIS HAPPENS OF A DAILY BASIS. AFTER A FEW TRIES TO JERK THE STEERING WHEEL IT WILL TURN ON BUT NOT THE LAST TIME AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID $1250 TO REPAIR THE CYLINDER AND THAT MAY NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. HAVE TALKED TO MANY CROSSFIRE OWNERS AND THEY ALL HAVE HAD TO SAME ISSUE, WHY IS THIS NOT A RECALL? *TR

IGNITION PROBLEM TURNING THE KEY TO START MY 2004 CROSSFIRE. THERE ARE TIMES IT IS TAKING 10 TO 15 MINUTES TO START MY CAR. I HAVE TO KEEP JIGGLING THE STEERING WHEEL AND REPEATEDLY TURNING THE KEY TO GET IT TO FINALLY TURN TO START MY VEHICLE. I AM SEEING OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM AND BELIEVE THIS IS A DEFECT THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD BE ADDRESSING. I ALSO NOW AM WONDERING READING THE OTHER COMPLAINTS IF THERE MAY BE A PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING LOCK SYSTEM THAT WILL CAUSE A PROBLEM WHILE DRIVING. SINCE I AM EXPERIENCING THE TROUBLE NOW WITH STARTING MY VEHICLE I DON'T WANT TO HAVE PROBLEM WITH THIS LOCKING WHILE DRIVING. I WILL BE CONTACTING THE DEALERSHIP IN MY AREA TO SEE WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE TO FIX THIS ISSUE. I BELIEVE SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED WITH THIS BECAUSE BEING A WOMEN I DON'T WON'T TO BE STRANDED BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE THAT I FEEL IS A DEFECT IN THE DESIGN. I DON'T BELIEVE AT 46,000 MILES I SHOULD BE HAVING THIS ISSUE. *TR
