2005 Chrysler Crossfire Convertible Electrical system Problems

“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.”

“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. …”

“I was driving on street in my home town about 30 MPH and engine dies and does not start. I walk to a store came back in 15 -20 minutes care started back again. Drove abut 6 mile very close to my house car died on street again. I checked on cross fire forum other crossfire owner has same issue. Crank shaft sensor and sensor connector wire is not connected properly to the computer board. When engine gets hot connector wire gets loose and shut the engine down it happened three time in last two weeks I am afraid to drive because it dies all the sudden while driving now it is seating in my garage.”

“The common problem of the ignition locking and key unable to turn. There are complaints all over the internet and otherwise by crossfire loving owners who are unable to suddenly turn their key...and the dealerships charging well over a $1000 dollars to fix it, due to bad design. This should be a recall.”

“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 under dashboard. …”
