ITS TWO THINGS. I THINK BECAUSE OF ONE FAILURE, IT HAS CAUSED ANOTHER. THE ELECTRONIC SYSTEM AND OVER VOLTAGE, THE FAILURE OF THE VOLTAGE REGULATOR IN THE ALTERNATOR, I BELIEVE HAS CAUSED THE PROBLEMS WITH THE DRIVETRAIN (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, AND THE HYDROLIC BRAKING SYSTEM) I HAVE NOTICED SIGNIFICANT PRESSURE LOSS WHEN APPLYING BRAKES. IN ADDITION TO THAT, WHEN COMING TO A STOP THE CAR JERKS BACK AND FORTH IN WHILE IN 1ST OR 2ND GEAR , AS IF THE CLUTCH WASN'T ENGAGING. HOWEVER I COULD GET THAT TO JERKING TO STOP IF I APPLIED THE BRAKES REAL…

THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN ON THE INTERSTATE WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL SET. UPON APPROACHING AN EXIT, THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED AND THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD. THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED AGAIN AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. AFTER SEVERAL SUCCESSIVE ATTEMPTS TO BRAKE THE VEHICLE, THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS FINALLY OVERRIDDEN. THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS OBTAINED REPLACED THE SWITCH THAT GOVERNS THE CRUISE CONTROL AND BRAKING SYSTEM. THIS SWITCH FAILED, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. …

I GET MY X-FIRE MAINTAINED AT MAPLEWOOD DODGE -CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER IN MAPLEWOOD NJ. I FIRST TOOK IN FOR NEW BRAKES IN NOV. 2005 AND ALSO ASKED THEM TO CHECK THE REAR RIGHT WHEEL BECAUSE IT WAS MAKING A METAL RATTLE NOISE WHEN I GO OVER BUMPS.

THE ANTI BRAKING SYSTEM ON THE 2004 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE IS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY, THE WARNING LIGHT COMES ON WHEN YOU SLOW THE VEHICLE OR WHEN YOU ARE BRAKING. THE WARNING LIGHT IS THE ANTI-BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE LIGHT. ALSO WITH THAT LIGHT, IS THE BRAKE ASSIST LIGHT INDICATOR. ALTHOUGH THE CAR IS RUNNING FINE AND THERE SEEMS TO BE NO ISSUE WITH THE SYSTEM THE LIGHTS COME ON. *TR

THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON 1000'S OF CROSSFIRE'S AND MERCEDES (ALL MODELS FROM 1998 FORWARD). THIS ISSUE IS THE BAS SYSTEM AND BRAKES. INTERMITTINGLY, AND USUALLY DURING WARMER WEATHER WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES THE BAS LIGHT COMES ON, AS DOES THE LIGHT INDICATOR. THE ISSUE IS THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT COME ON. THERE IS A FAULT WHERE IF THE BAS IS NOT WORKING, THE BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT COME ON. THEY ARE TIED TOGETHER IN THE ELECTRONICS. THE BAS IS NOT REQUIRED TO STOP THE VEHICLE, HOWEVER NO BRAKE LIGHTS BECAUSE OF THE FAULT IS EXTREMELY …
