“I own a 2005 Crossfire with 23300 miles. My ignition key began to stick when starting the car. It stuck about 2 weeks ago but I was able to start the care after 15 minutes of trying. Yesterday the ignition stuck and I was not able to start the car. I had the car towed to a dealer in san jose ca. The service writer told me he had another Crossfire in for service for the exact same problem.”

“I parked my car at a shop's parking lot and didn't have any issues. About 20 minutes later I came back to my car and tried to get the engine to turn over and the ignition would not turn. I tried with both of my keys and I couldn't get the ignition to turn. The steering wheel also was locked up. I had to take apart my dash board to get to the ignition so I could release the locking pin. Once the pin was released I had no problems starting the car.”

NHTSA complaint #10484522, filed 2012-11, 89,000 miles

“There is a dangerous electrical short located within the dash board area of my Crossfire. The electrical short could lead to a hot spot in the wiring harness, which could lead to a fire in the passenger side dashboard area. If this fire should happen while the automobile is being stored inside my home garage, the results would be catastrophic. …”
