2004 Chrysler Crossfire

SEEMS CHRYSLER HAS STOP PRODUCING THE FRONT TURN SIGNALS FOR THIS CAR AND CANNOT FIND AFTERMARKET PARTS FOR IT. I'M TOLD THAT 7 YEARS AFTER THE CAR LEAVES PRODUCTION THAT THE PRODUCTION OF THE PARTS ARE STOPPED. I CANNOT GOT TO MERCEDES SINCE IT DOES NOT HAVE A MERCEDES PART NUMBER AND ANY CROSS REFERENCE NUMBER THAT IS GIVEN DOES NOT WORK FOR MERCEDES. ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED. *TR

I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM ID AUTO PENSACOLA, FL, 850-418-8949, BEING TOLD GOOD CONDITION, ONLY ONE THING WRONG, YOU HAVE TO STICK AN INK PIN IN THE HOLE TO PLACE IT IN DRIVE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 123,000.

WHILE DRIVING ON 08/17/14 MY CROSSFIRE SUDDENLY STALLED AND WOULD NOT RESTART. I HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER FOR REPAIRS. THE FOLLOWING REPAIRS WERE NEEDED: FUEL PUMP #14073001 FILTER FU #14029003 RELAY NON #08052328 THESE SEEM TO BE THE SAME PARTS RECENTLY RECALLED ON JEEP VEHICLES. WILL CHRYSLER ADD MY CROSSFIRE TO THE RECALL LIST? WHAT CAN I DO? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER THE TERMINAL BATTERY WAS REPLACED, THE BAS AND ESP WARNING INDICATORS REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,000. UPDATED 9/4/14*CN THE DEALER REPLACED THE BATTERY. HOWEVER, THE BAS/ESP LIGHTS REMAINED ON. THE DEALER STATED, HE WOULD HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE OTHER LIGHTS BEING ON. UPDATED 09/18/14

AS I'VE READ ON HERE, THIS CAR HAS A TENDENCY TO DROP OUT OF 1ST GEAR ON TAKE OFF. THIS HAPPENS FREQUENTLY ENOUGH THAT I'VE STUDIED WHETHER MY HAND ON THE SHIFT OR NOT MAKES A DIFFERENCE. IT DOESN'T. JUST WHY CHRYSLER THINKS THIS ISN'T A DEFECT IS BEYOND COMPREHENSION. ITS A 6 SPEED AND I QUIT USING 1ST GEAR, TOO UNPREDICTABLE, OR RATHER TOO PREDICTABLE AS I KNOW ITS GOING TO DROP OUT. *JS

AFTER DRIVING 30 MILES WITHOUT PROBLEMS ENGINE STALLS. ATTEMPTS TO START IT FAILED BUT WHEN KEY IS IN ON POSITION NOT START POSITION STARTER ENGAGES. ATTEMPTED SEVERAL TIMES AND EACH TIME KEY TURNED ON STARTER ENGAGED EVEN WITHOUT CLUTCH DEPRESSED WHICH IS NORMALLY REQUIRED, EVEN IN GEAR WITH CLUTCH RELEASED STARTER ENGAGED. HAVE YET TO GET ENGINE STARTED THO CONDITION CONTINUES. TOWED CAR HOME TO MY SHOP WHERE IM INVESTIGATING THIS ISSUE. *JS

THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON 1000'S OF CROSSFIRE'S AND MERCEDES (ALL MODELS FROM 1998 FORWARD). THIS ISSUE IS THE BAS SYSTEM AND BRAKES. INTERMITTINGLY, AND USUALLY DURING WARMER WEATHER WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES THE BAS LIGHT COMES ON, AS DOES THE LIGHT INDICATOR. THE ISSUE IS THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT COME ON. THERE IS A FAULT WHERE IF THE BAS IS NOT WORKING, THE BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT COME ON. THEY ARE TIED TOGETHER IN THE ELECTRONICS. THE BAS IS NOT REQUIRED TO STOP THE VEHICLE, HOWEVER NO BRAKE LIGHTS BECAUSE OF THE FAULT IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE. THE VEHICLE CANNOT BE DRIVEN. RESEARCH ONLINE HAS FOUND 1000'S OF COMPLAINTS, NO RESOLUTION AND TYPICALLY HUNDREDS OR THOUSANDS IN REPAIR COSTS THAT DO NOT FIX THE ISSUE. THE BRAKE LIGHTS SHOULD RUN INDEPENDENTLY OF THE BAS SYSTEM. A COMMON FIX IS CONNECTING AN INLINE FUSE FROM THE BRAKE SWITCH TO THE BRAKE LIGHT, IF ONE IS MECHANICALLY INCLINED TO DO SO. CONTACTING MB STATES THEY KNOW THE ISSUE BUT CANNOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE THEY ALSO STATED TOO COSTLY TO CHANGE THE SYSTEM FOR A % OF OWNERS. OTHER CAR MANUFACTURERS HAVE BRAKE LIGHTS WIRED SEPARATELY FROM BAS SYSTEMS. *JS

THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE DEFECT RECURRED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR WAS THE VEHICLE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT.
