Was passing on an uphill passing lane and engine shutdown. Coasted safely to road side, no collision or incidents. Air temp was ~95f and had been driving for several hours. Checked on crossfire forum and this appears to a common problem. There are faulty solder joints in a relay control module that fail under temperature. Pulled module and let cool, car restarted and drove ~60 miles to home without incident. Ordered replacement part but am concerned this may reoccur without warning.

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

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
