June 6th 2024, I got into my 2095 Chrysler crossfire and started driving hearing a rattling sound I pulled over and looked in back of my car to see the back window separated away from the soft top and was openly hanging, I had to get home from where I was at so I took back roads all way home and pulled over everytime a car got behind me. Also in past month my car sometimes starts right up and other time it won't come on. Hubby says it's an electrical issue. My car died on me as I pulled onto a hiway luckily I was able to pull off to the side of the road. I've seen several electrical issues reported on a car forum for these cars, also window separation. I have pics if needed.

While cruising at 55 miles per hour, an unexpected occurrence took place - the engine abruptly ceased to function. I found myself on a two-lane highway in the midst of a construction zone, where the highway was reduced to a single lane, flanked by barriers. In a situation devoid of power assistance, I navigated the immobile vehicle between these barriers to reach a secure location, narrowly evading a potential accident.This issue is perilous and disturbingly common among these vehicles, yet it lacks a definitive...

diagnosis or solution. Even the computer scans fail to pinpoint the root cause behind this disruptive problem. I had no choice but to have the vehicle towed, and an automotive technician subsequently replaced the crank position sensor, just one of the many potential culprits in this recurring issue. Remarkably, the car operated without issue for two months, only to once again shut down without warning at high speed. Then, quite unexpectedly, approximately ten minutes later, the car miraculously restarted. This issue is perilous and disturbingly common among these vehicles, yet it lacks a definitive diagnosis or solution. It is imperative to stress that this problem is widely recognized and acknowledged, with countless owners repeatedly seeking assistance from dealerships, yet the issue remains unresolved. The gravity of this situation cannot be overstated, as these vehicles are prone to sudden shutdowns while traveling at high speeds. Urgent attention and action are needed to investigate and rectify this life-threatening concern.
My2005 crossfire roadster convertible just stopped running twice while driving on a very busy road! The first time I was stopped at a light when the car died. I had no power and the car would not restart. As the light had now turned green every car in every lane started to move forward. Of course the person behind me started beeping and screaming! I got out of the car (very dangerous) and started to push the car over several lanes to the shoulder of the road. Two men jumped out and helped me push it to a side road...

off the main road. Cars were now flying past us going at least 45 to 50 mph. My car was towed to my home chrysler dealership and after 3 days the mechanic replaced the engine relay control module which had an internal failure. The car ran fine for 9 months when the same thing happened but this second time I was going 45 mph when the car just died. I nearly got hammered trying to allow my slowing vehicle's momentum to take me across several lanes of traffic trying to get to the shoulder of the road before stopping. It was frightening and very dangerous!!! My car was towed to a local chrysler dealership but after two days I was told they did not have the equipment to analyze or fix the problem. Fortunately my insurance company was kind enough to have the car towed a second time to the dealership I used on the first incident. They have now had my car for over a week with very little communication. They claim they can't get the car started (duh) and they can't even get the car into neutral to push it into a bay to work on it. (Hunh?). They claim they need a computer part from mercedes to analyze the problem. (What?) Now they tell me they got the car into the bay and are charging the battery. (Really that is all they've done in 7 days?) I am more than frustrated with them...I was told by the non-service advisor that they have many cars in their shop for months!
Car was stationary and key was inserted into ignition but could not turn the ignition in attempting to start the car. It does not move (key) to initiate the function to start the car. Also, no motion of the key movement was available provide any steps of the ignition. The movement of the ignition tumblers become froze in a jammed position disabling the key from turning. It should be noted this is not a new comment about this year 2005 chrysler crossfire ignition (no turn) in starting the vehicle. Safety concerns, prevention of starting a car create an emergency's for movement other than driving the car. *Js
The skreem module has failed which controls the anti-theft system, key & ignition. The part is no longer available through chrysler or aftermarket. The car cannot run without this module. The vehicle was stationary at the time of failure. I had to have it towed to a repair shop. Luckily it was close to home when it failed. Chrysler needs to make this part available since it is a common problem that affects hundreds if not thousands of vehicles that cannot be driven once it fails. *Tr
When trying to start car ignition is stuck cannot turn motor on car was stationery *tr
This is my 2nd request. I have defective airbags & they have been this way since the car was new. It only has 40k miles on it. I have tried contacting chrysler numerous times, they have not replied. This is very dangerous. I have gone to numerous dealerships, private repairs and put over $2500 of my own money into this issue, but it still isn't working etc. Everyone says this call should be recalled. I need help!
I was driving down the interstate and engine suddenly cut off and I had to push it to the side of the road, I could have been rear-ended easily. There was no power and engine would not turn over, only electronics would light up and engine fan would run at a high rate of speed.I do not understand why chrysler/mercedes would not have a recall on this yet. Apparently it is the rcm module that has bad solder points so I have heard. Very dangerous that this is happening to a vehicle with under 100k miles. It has...

happened before and left me stranded a couple times, and this time it would not start at all so I had to get a tow truck to tow it 27 miles home. If this happened to a new driver or elderly person this could have been very dangerous. I can't even imagine what would have happened if this happened while I was on a road trip or driving through atlanta or something.

By back window got unglued & unable to lower my top. Also the electrical just stopped I'm not able to move my seats, or use cd player or lighter to plug my phone. Just one day it stopped working & then with my window unglued I'm not able to take top down for past 2 years. So I don't know why the back window got unglued.

The car would not start (battery dead). Replaced the battery and the next day the battery was dead again. Took it to the repair shop thinking it was the alternator and the tech did a check and came back with a bad power module. Car can't be driven as the battery drains in just a few hours. The tech stated that he did a check on the vin number and it came back with a recall for the power module, which I can't verify.
