TIRES:SIDEWALL
2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE WITH CONTINENTAL TIRES. AT 12000 MILES THE RIGHT REAR TIRE DEVELOPED A SIDE WALL BULGE ON THE INSIDE. I FELT THE BUMPING BUT DID NOT SEE THE PROBLEM. WHILE TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE 70 THE TIRE BLEW OUT. THE DEALER CLAIMED ROAD HAZARD DAMAGE AND I HAD TO PURCHASE A NEW TIRE. AT 20300 MILES THE LEFT REAR TIRE DEVELOPED A BULGE ON THE INSIDE. THIS TIME I REMOVED THE TIRES TO LOOK FOR THE PROBLEM. THIS TIRE HAS NOT BLOWN OUT AND THE BULGE IS EVIDENT. AGAIN THE DEALER IS CLAIMING ROAD DAMAGE. TWO TIRES, SAME MANUFACTURER DEVELOPED THE SAME PROBLEM. IF TRULY WAS ROAD HAZARD WHY WAS THERE NO BULGES OR RUPTURES ON THE OUTSIDE SIDE WALL? *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:INTERIOR/UNDER DASH
THERE IS A DANGEROUS ELECTRICAL SHORT LOCATED WITHIN THE DASH BOARD AREA OF MY CROSSFIRE. THE ELECTRICAL SHORT COULD LEAD TO A HOT SPOT IN THE WIRING HARNESS, WHICH COULD LEAD TO A FIRE IN THE PASSENGER SIDE DASHBOARD AREA. IF THIS FIRE SHOULD HAPPEN WHILE THE AUTOMOBILE IS BEING STORED INSIDE MY HOME GARAGE, THE RESULTS WOULD BE CATASTROPHIC. AS ILLUSTRATED BY THE VIDEO I UPLOADED TO THE FOLLOWING URL LINK FOR YOUR VIEWING HTTP://PHOTOS.IMAGEEVENT.COM/FIREBASE/VIDEOS/CROSSFIRE%20TAPPING%20IN%20DASH%20SOUND.WMV , YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE THE ELECTRICAL SHORT OCCURRING, AND HEAR THE AUDIBLE CLICKING, AS THE SHORT IS OPENING AND CLOSING. PLEASE NOTE I FURNISHED TO DAIMLER CHRYSLER'S DISTRICT MANAGER A COPY OF THE SAME VIDEO, BY WAY OF A UPS DELIVERY. HE MADE THE CLAIM PEOPLE DOCTOR VIDEOS. THEREFORE, HE REFUSED TO REVIEW THE VIDEO. AT THIS TIME A HARD COPY OF THE VIDEO, AND THE ABOVE REFERENCED LINK, ARE BEING FORWARDED TO THE ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE OF CONSUMER AFFAIRS IN ALABAMA, FOR THEIR EVALUATION. *JB

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I NOTIFIED DAIMLER-CHRYSLER (DC) THAT I HAD A PROBLEM WHEN MY DEALER TRIED TO FIX IT 4 TIMES TO NOT AVAIL. DC SENT A TECH TO LOOK AT MY CAR AND BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE MY PROBLEM (HAPPENS SPORADICALLY), THEY DEEMED MY CAR NORMAL. SO ANYONE EXPERIENCING THE FOLLOWING PROBLEM CAN EXPECT TO BE TOLD ITS NORMAL? "LACK OF POWER WHEN AT A STOP, EVEN THOUGH YOU MIGHT BE MASHING IN THE GAS PEDAL (PEDAL TO THE METAL)" SO IF YOU FEAR FOR YOUR LIFE WHEN YOU'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION AND YOUR CAR WON'T MOVE, DON'T WORRY BECAUSE ITS NORMAL? I BELIEVE I HAVE A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS CAR BECAUSE MULTIPLE TIMES I HAVE BEEN STOPPED ON THE ROAD AND THEN UNABLE TO MOVE BECAUSE MY CAR DOES NOT REGISTER THAT I'M PUSHING DOWN ON THE PEDAL. THIS PAST WEEK-END IT HAPPENED AND I HAD A TRUCK COMING AT ME BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE! THANKFULLY THE DRIVER SWERVED AROUND MY CAR WITH A LOT A HONKING AND SUCH. BUT BECAUSE THEY WOULD NOT REPLICATE THAT PROBLEM, THEY SAY ITS FINE. I'M CONCERNED THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN AND I WON'T BE LUCKY ENOUGH TO GET OUT OF THE WAY! *NM

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WE JUST BOUGHT A 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE ROADSTER SRT6. LAST NIGHT (13 MAR 2006) WE WERE DRIVING THROUGH TOWN. WHEN MY WIFE STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN THE CAR STALLED. TURNING THE KEY OFF AND STARTING AGAIN THE CAR STARTED AND RAN. THE CAR HAS ONLY 600 MILES. I READ WHERE OTHER CHRYSLERS HAVE SUDDEN STALLING PROBLEMS AND HAVE HAD RECALLS. NOT SURE IF THERE WERE VERY FEW CROSSFIRES AND IF THEY OUGHT TO BE INCLUDED IN A RECALL. *JB

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
ON THIS DATE A SECOND TRANSMISSION FAILURE WAS IN PROGRESS WHERE THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT PROPERLY INTO GEAR. THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED ON A TRIP TO SEE A RELATIVE IN POOR HEALTH AND ALONG WITH DEFECTIVE WHEEL BOLTS THAT CAUSED THE PASSENGER FRONT WHEEL TO BECOME SEPARATED FROM THE VEHICLE, LEFT ME STRANDED. THIS WAS NOT THE FIRST TIME THE TRANSMISSION HAD BEEN GIVING ME TROUBLES AND HAS FAILED ALONG WITH NUMEROUS LARGE LEAKS NOTED ON SEPARATE OCCASIONS THAT THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN UNABLE TO REPAIR UNDER THE OEM WARRANTY. *JB

TIRES:SIDEWALL
DEVELOPED A SLOW LEAK IN THE INNER SIDE WALL OF PASSENGER SIDE REAR TIRE OF MY SPORT CONTACT TIRE. THERE WAS ONLY 6000 MILES ON IT. THE TIRE WAS NOT REPAIRABLE AND HAD TO BE RELPLACED. THIS IS MY SECOND TIRE TO REPLACE ON THIS CAR. AT 3000 MILES I HAD A BLOW OUT OF THE INNER SIDE WALL TO THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR TIRE. THE DEALER STATES THAT SIDE WALL DAMAGE IS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRENTY. AT ABOUT 310.00 DOLLARS PER TIRE IT GET PRICEY.

TIRES, TIRES:TREAD/BELT
FAULTY TIRES ON 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE CONVETIBLE. CONTINENTAL TIRES CAME STANDARD ON THIS $40,000 CAR. WE WERE TOLD THAT THEY WERE "RUN FLATS". NOT TRUE! THE CAR HAD LESS THAN 1,000 WHEN MINOR ROAD DEBRIS CAUSED THE LEFT REAR TIRE TO GO FLAT. CAR HAD TO BE TOWED AND THE TIRE EXPLODED WHEN TIRE STORE TRIED TO REPAIR IT. ABOUT A MONTH LATER A SMALL NAIL PIERCED THE "SIDE" OF THE RIGHT REAR AND WHEN TAKEN TO BE REPAIRED, THE TIRE SPLIT WHEN TAKEN OFF THE WHEEL. CHRYSLER, CONTINENTAL TIRE AND JIM ARCHER CHRYSLER DID NOTHING. WE ENDED UP REPLACING ALL 4 TIRES WITH MICHELINS AT A VERY BIG EXPENSE, SINCE THE CAR COME WITH NO SPARE. NOTHING BUT A CAN OF FIX FLAT. JIM ARCHER CHRYSLER THREATED TO CALL THE POLICE, WHEN WE APPROACHED THEN REGARDING THE TIRES. ABSOLUTELY NO HELP!

STRUCTURE
THE CONSUMER HAD DIFFICULTY DOWN SHIFTING HIS 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE IN THE SNOW. *JB INCLUDING WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED IN REVERSE, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE. THE DEALER TOLD THE CONSUMER THE VEHICLE WAS DESIGNED TO BE DRIVEN IN THE SNOW. IT WAS CONSIDERED A HIGH PERFORMANCE VEHICLE, IT WAS LOW TO THE GROUND, REAR WHEEL DRIVE. THE TIRES WERE ALSO HIGH PERFORMANCE AND THE TREAD PATTERN WAS NO GOOD FOR THE SNOW AND/OR LOTS OF RAIN. *SC *JB
