Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“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.”

NHTSA complaint #10564165, filed 2014-02, 73,000 miles

“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.”
