ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
THE ANTI BRAKING SYSTEM ON THE 2004 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE IS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY, THE WARNING LIGHT COMES ON WHEN YOU SLOW THE VEHICLE OR WHEN YOU ARE BRAKING. THE WARNING LIGHT IS THE ANTI-BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE LIGHT. ALSO WITH THAT LIGHT, IS THE BRAKE ASSIST LIGHT INDICATOR. ALTHOUGH THE CAR IS RUNNING FINE AND THERE SEEMS TO BE NO ISSUE WITH THE SYSTEM THE LIGHTS COME ON. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
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

EQUIPMENT, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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

TIRES, TIRES:TREAD/BELT
I AM FINDING IT HARD TO SHED LIGHT ON SAFETY ISSUES INVOLVING POORLY MANUFACTURED TIRES. I HAVE BEEN CORRESPONDING WITH CONTINENTAL TIRE NORTH AMERICA REGARDING THEIR GENERAL BRANDED TIRES THAT I PURCHASED ON MARCH 19, 2009. I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THESE TIRES SINCE THEN AND HAVE TRIED IN VAIN TO HAVE THE TIRE INSTALLERS REPLACE THEM. I THEN ESCALATED IT IN FEBRUARY WITH CONTINENTAL AND THEY HAVE BEEN LACKADAISICAL WITH THEIR APPROACH TO THIS ISSUE. THE TIRES ARE OF POOR BUILT QUALITY, UNRELIABLE, EXTREMELY NOISY AND THE RIDE QUALITY IS TERRIBLE. I EMAILED THEM SEVERAL TIMES POINTING TO THE FACT THE THESE TIRES SOUND AND FEEL UNSAFE, IT SWAYS MY VEHICLE ALL OVER THE HIGHWAY AND AFTER INSPECTION BY A REPUTABLE TIRE DEALER AT CONTINENTAL'S REQUEST IT SHOWED THAT THE TIRES ARE POOR TIRES AND MY VEHICLE HAS NO MECHANICAL FAULT THAT WOULD CONTRIBUTE TO THE POOR RIDE QUALITY. CONTINENTAL'S ONLY RESPONSE IS TO PROVIDE ONLY 50 % OF THE FRONT TIRES ALONE AND NOTHING FOR THE REARS. IN OTHER WORDS THEY DON'T CARE IF I ALREADY SPENT 700 BUCKS ON THEIR CRAPPY TIRES THEY WANT ME TO PAY MORE TO REPLACE THEM. I AM JUST AN AVERAGE CONSUMER TRYING TO HOLD BIG COMPANIES ACCOUNTABLE AND THEY REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE A LEGITIMATE COMPLAINT. I HAVE PROVIDED FOR CONTINENTAL THE COUNTLESS NEGATIVE REVIEWS OF THEIR TIRES THAT POINT TO THE SAME ISSUE OF INSTABILITY ON THE ROADWAY, POOR BUILD QUALITY AND LOUD ROAD NOISE. I HAVE HAD TO RIDE MY MOTORCYCLE ON MOST OCCASIONS BECAUSE I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR WITH THOSE TIRES. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
LATE MODEL CARS OF ALL MAKES HAVE THESE CLEAR PLASTIC HEAD LAMPS THAT TURN DISCOLORED AND YELLOW AND DO NOT ILLUMINATE PROPERLY AFTER A FEW YEARS AND ARE VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE. THE AUTO MANUFACTURERS SHOULD BE ABLE TO MAKE A HEADLIGHT THAT LASTS FOR A VERY LONG TIME, NOT 4, 5 OR 6 YEARS. HOW COME TAIL LAMPS AND DIRECTIONAL LIGHT DO NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM? *TR

STRUCTURE
THE PROBLEM IS SAME AS BELOW. HYUNDAI IS RECALLING 91,202 MY 2002-2003 HYUNDAI SONATA VEHICLES. REPEATED USE OF THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE MAY CAUSE WEAR OF THE CHROME PLATE. IF THE TOP EDGE OF THE HANDLE HAS VERY THIN CHROME PLATING, THAT PORTION OF THE PLATING MAY WEAR AWAY MORE EASILY THAN MORE THICKLY PLATED AREAS AS THE DOOR HANDLE IS USED. THE WORN CHROME PLATING ON THE UPPER EDGE OF THE HANDLE MAY RESULT IN A CRACK OR SEPARATION BETWEEN THE CHROME PLATING ON THE INBOARD AND OUTBOARD SURFACES OF THE HANDLE, WHICH MAY FORM A SHARP EDGE. 2004 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE. *TR
