I'M THE OWNER OF A 2004 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE. MY CAR WILL NOT CRANK-UP ANYMORE BECAUSE MY KEY WILL NOT COMPLETELY TURN. I CALLED FOR A LOCKSMITH AND HE INFORMED ME THAT MY KEY CYLINDER NEEDS REPLACING AND ONLY A CHRYSLER MECHANIC (APPROX. $1200) SHOULD REPAIR IT. I'VE FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON TREND WITH ALL OF THE CHRYSLER CROSSFIRES, 2004-2008. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A MANUFACTURE DEFECT AND WARRANTS AN INVESTIGATION AND RECALLED. *TR

I PURCHASED KUMHO SPT TREAD PATTERNED TIRES FOR MY 2004 CROSSFIRE AS REPLACEMENT TIRES. THE TIRES FAILED WITH LESS THAN 22,000 MILES. THE RADIAL TREAD BEGAN TO SHOW AND THE CAR BEGAN TO HYDROPLANE ANYTIME RAIN OCCURRED. I COMPLAINED TO THE COMPANY AND THERE WAS NO CONCERN ON THEIR PART HOWEVER I AM CONCERNED FOR THE PUBLIC AT LARGE WHO BUY THESE TIRES. THE ARE KUMHO TIRES 225/40R18 AND 255/35R19 I HAVE A PICTURE OF THE TIRES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH WOULD LOCK SPORADICALLY, WHICH PREVENTED THE CONTACT FROM STARTING THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 35,824.

THE ENGINE CUTS OUT WITHOUT ANY PRE-INDICATIONS. AFTERWARD THE STARTER WILL NOT RESPOND ALTHOUGH THE LIGHTS WORK OK. THE TRANSMISSION LOCKS WHEN PUT IN PARK. HOURS LATER THE RESPONSE STAYS THE SAME. THE FIRST TIME IT STARTED WORKING A DAY LATER, THE SECOND TIME IT HASN'T STARTED YET. THE DEALER SEEMS TO HAVE NO IDEA ON WHAT TO DO. IT LEFT ME STRANDED LATE AT NIGHT. THIS SEEMS TO BE A CHRONIC CROSSFIRE PROBLEM. *TR

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
