2006 Chrysler CrossfireLightsAcceleration & cruise controlEngine & cooling

I was driving the crossfire one evening and it shut off in the middle of the street, I almost got rear ended. All of a sudden the engine shut off, the exterior and interior lights went off as well. The car rolled to a stop blocking all the traffic behind me. I tried to restart the engine and nothing happened, I had to have the car jump started, which took several attempts. I had no problems or indications that anything was wrong till this happened. Mechanics have put in a new battery, a crank position...

sensor, and a cam position sensor on the car. It started once after that, ran for a few minutes then stopped. After that it won't start, even when being jumped. Trying to get a ecm from the dealer. Dealer said the cost is $2,700.00, And orders are pending until july 1, 2019 because of supplier change. Plus there is a flashing charge of $147.00 To reset this item for the car.

Seems chrysler has stop producing the front turn signals for this car and cannot find aftermarket parts for it. I'm told that 7 years after the car leaves production that the production of the parts are stopped. I cannot got to mercedes since it does not have a mercedes part number and any cross reference number that is given does not work for mercedes. Any help would be appreciated. *Tr

The chrysler crossfire convertible back windows on some cars lose their adhesive bond and the windows come fall partly apart. This allow rain water to enter under the window, where the roof latch is. There is a way for water to enter the trunk there. This water finds its way to two trunk cavities on the bottom, and the water has no place to exit. On the right side is the security module that can be saturated that the foam insulation, actually can store this water as a sponge. And the water can then cause a problem...

in the security area. Module. Lights coming on flashing and sirens blaring ay all kind of times.. That the battery can actually be discharged leaving one stranded. Had the problem happen, had to take the truck apart to bail out water, quite a lot, there is no exit hole for the water to leave that it builds up around the security module and the foam around it, soaks up water. That while the module looks good, I seen a burned area and smelled a electrical problem. There was so much water in the foam that it weight was real heavy. Solution have a drain hole in the bottom of both trunk pits, below the jack. That a material that does not absorb water be used. Place a cover over the module to weatherize it.. What should have been done that a soft rubber seal should have sealed around the roof latch hole inside that the outside is okay until the window seal lets water in. *Tr

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

Headlight lenses cloudy and crazing. Dealer refused to replace under warranty. District manager refused to replace under warranty. Later directed dealer to polish lenses. Made them worse. Later offered 50-50 cost share. A. My cost would be in excess of $500.00 And b. Car is still under warranty and is apparently a manufacture defect. Numerous other owners have had their lights replaced by dealers, appears to be no hard and fast rule. District manager is trying bullying tactics. He has never seen the car, even...

The "clear" cover over the projection headlights assembly and yellow signal light has become severely clouded/faded particularly on the upper half of the cover. The signal light is becoming obscured behind the cloudiness. The car has very little mileage and the defect is not the result of road debris damage (rocks/sand). No repair was made because the dealer blames the manufacturer for denying claim, and the manufacturer says it is up to the dealer to perform the work and place a claim. I believe it to be a...

defective product because I have compared the lens on my car to other vehicles of the same make and model (some of which were older and had much more mileage) and yet are in better condition than the one on my car. *Tr
