Chrysler CROSSFIRE problems and owner complaints

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…

AUTO/TRANSMISSION/ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. I'M JUST SO GLAD THAT THIS IS A DRIVE BY WIRE CAR, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE CARS ELECTRICAL SYSTEM CAN'T REGULATE ITS VOLTAGE PROPERLY. YOU WOULD THINK THAT DAIMLER WOULD HAVE THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM BUILT AS TOUGH AS NAILS. SEEING THAT THE CARS LIFE SUPPORT IS ALL DEPENDENT UPON PULSE POWER. SO MY COMPLAINT IS DO TO THE CARS FAILURE TO REGULATE ITS POWER, IT COOKED MY TRANSMISSIONS DRIVE PLATE LOCATED INTERNALLY ON TOP OF THE VALVE BODY. THEN SURGED BACK TO THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE & FRIED THAT. AND SOME…

I OWN A 2004 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE. AS I WAS DRIVING THROUGH THE CITY YESTERDAY 07/30/07 I MADE A RIGHT HAND TURN ONTO A CROSS STREET AND SUDDENLY MY STEERING LOCKED. I WAS ABLE TO STOP JUST INCHES FROM A PARKED CAR. THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD ONLY MOVE SLIGHTLY TO THE LEFT. I EXERTED SOME FORCE TO THE WHEEL IN THE LEFT HAND DIRECTION AND SUDDENLY IT BROKE LOOSE AND BECAME FREE AGAIN, AT THE SAME TIME THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD CAME ON. I CAREFULLY DROVE THE CAR TO A DEALER WHERE I WAS INFORMED THAT THE CLOCKSPRING HAD BROKEN AND JAMM…

CHRYSLER CROSS FIRE 2004. THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION VIOLENTLY SLIPS OUT OF FIRST GEAR INTO NEUTRAL AFTER THE CAR IS MOVING THE VECHILE AND THE CLUTCH IS DISENGAGED. ALBEIT INFREQUENTLY. THIS CAUSES A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, CROSSING TRAFFIC THAT ISN'T CONTROLLED VIA A SIGN OR LIGHT. OR, AT ANY STOP WITH SOMEONE BEHIND YOU. IN THE 1,500 MILES I'VE DRIVEN THE CAR SINCE I PURCHASED IT, I HAVE NARROWLY AVOIDED BEING REAR-ENDED THREE TIMES DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP'S SERVICE PERSONNEL HAVE OBSERVED AND VERIFIED THE TENDANCY OF IT TO SLIP F…

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. …
