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.
Hi a was driving my 2005 Crossfire going down hill an it just cut off. It seem like there are lot of people are these same preambles with the Crossfire car. An Chrysler no about them an will no do anything about it until some get kill. No breaks going down the my kid was in as well these computer parts are bad and need recall on them like now. Will not start, will turn over, no code to find out what wrong with the car need to be fix. Car dealership are keeping car for months trying to find the preambles. It a same that we have these car company's that can do this with no ideal what they are doing to people. …
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. …
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.
