I WAS STOPPED FOR TRAFFIC AND THE CAR JUST STALLED WITHOUT ANY WARNING. I HAD TO PUSH IT TO THE SIDE OF THE RODE AND WAIT 5-7 MINUTES BEFORE THE CAR WOULD START. I WENT TO THE CROSSFIREFORUM.ORG WEBSITE AND WITH FURTHER RESEARCH FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON DEFAULT WITH THIS CAR/ENGINE. THE CRANK SHAFT POSITION SENSOR APPARENTLY BECOMES DEFECTIVE, AFTER AWHILE, AND RANDOMLY MALFUNCTIONS CAUSING THE CAR ENGINE TO SHUT DOWN AT ANYTIME UNTIL IT RESETS ALLOWING THE ENGINE TO RE-START. I PURCHASED A REPLACEMENT SENSOR FROM AUTOZONE FOR $55.00, IT IS …
BOUGHT A 2005 CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLE IN 2006. WAS "NEW" BUT DEALERSHIP PUT 3,000 MILES ON IT. SECURITY SYSTEM NEVER WORKED PROPERLY (CAR NOT RESPONDING TO PANIC BUTTON, SIREN DID NOT WORK). WAS TOLD BY DEALER SERVICE SECURITY DISABLES THE IGNITION, AND PANIC BUTTON NOT WORKING JUST WEAK BATTERY IN REMOTE (WHICH I DID NOT BELIEVE). JANUARY 2013, CAR IN GARAGE,15,000 MILES AND LOCKS WOULD NOT RESPOND TO REMOTE. UNLOCKED CAR WITH KEY. CAR WOULD NOT START, AND WAS DISABLED. HAD CAR TOWED TO DEALER. HAD $900 REPAIR FOR NEW ELECTRONIC ENTRY PART UNDE…
I HAVE A 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLE, THE KEY DOES NOT TURN. MY CAR DOES NOT TURN ON. THE STEERING WHEEL IS LOCKED. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY BIG ISSUE AS I FOUND POSTING FROM OTHER PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET WITH THE SAME ISSUE. ALL THE POSTING STATES THAT THE IGNITION GOES BAD WITHOUT ANY WARNING. CHRYSLER IS NOT ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE. I THINK THE IGNITION SWITCH NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. *TR
