I am really getting frustrated with this car and the dealership. I have only had this car for about 6 months and have had more problems with this car then any other car i have ever had. First its was the fuel relay module. Now i took it in for a ignition problem it locked up and wouldnt let me start it and they charged me $800 to get it fixed. So when i go to pick it up i drive off the lot and notice that my fuel gauge is not working. I took the car back and told them and they had to keep it another day to tell me that its something wrong with the floater or whatever its called inside the fuel tank. So i have to ride around not knowing how much gas i have in the car, and i dont know this car well enough to judge when i think i might need some gas.


Any advice on what I should do???

 

What year is it? How many miles? Is it not under warrantee? Maybe you need to find another stealership.

 

Check to see if you can buy a Chrysler extended service plan. I am very happy with the Chrysler Maximum Care Warranty that I purchased from www.chryslerservicecontracts.com. Your recent repair cost would have paid over half the cost of the warranty, and they probably want another $800 to repair the gas gage problem? Getting one will depend on the year and miles on your Crossfire. Call the 800 number on the web site and talk to Mr. Case. Dealer repair costs for these (any newer) vehicles is going to be high.

 

Its a 2004 with about 35,000 miles and the warranty doesnt cover it. Will my low fuel light still come on? I dont wanna get stranded nowhere.

 

Hey don't take this serious at all BUT I can't help but laugh (a lot) at your name DopeBoyMagic! You sure it is just the car! Not meant to be serious, but inquiring minds....well you know. I hope you get it fixed.

 

Dump the Crossfire and buy a Honda Accord...

 

I had my Alternator replaced in my Navigator. Upon leaving my AC only was blowing hot air. I turned around and went back and told them. Some kid in the maintenace area told me the car was a few years old and it probably was it's time. I left it right there, asked for the service manager and a phone to call my lawyer. The service manager came back and told me they would see what was wrong with it. Come to find out, the computer needed to be reset and now it's working. I told him he needed to fire the idiot that told me that I would have to pay for them to look at it. I said, "It was working when I drove in, there is no reason it shouldn't be when I drive out, That's all I ask." I didn't pay a penny.
If it was working when you drove in, they obviously did something wrong.

 

I had more issues with my Honda then i do with the XF

 

I have a 2004 and I bought it with 38,000 miles on it. I bought a 4 year 48,000 mile warranty for about $1200. I only have to pay a $100 deductible. Haven't had to use it yet thank God.
I bet they forgot to plug it back up when they put the steering column back together.

 

When i brought it back and left it over night i came back to get it and they showed me with the little computer thing they use that the wires and everything was connected right because they made it move with that computer.

 

you know what? sometimes there are just bad ones. get rid of it.
cars should be a great experience. even if you take a loss, replace that car and move on.

 

BLASPHEMY!

 

Funny Thread... Really funny thread... Your name is "Dopeboymagic" and you are complaining about money... LMAOOOOOOOOOO.... Wow.. You all must be in a drought or something.. Picking at you. Anyway man I've had my car for 4 years drive well over 100 mph every day, have maxed out at 155 over 20 times and have not had any problems out of my car other than the recall on the 04 foglights and things i've done to the car. I run my car hard and it's proven to be a champ to me. Sorry for your misfortune.. I truly am.

 

It's unfortunate, but some dealerships just want to screw you I've rarely had issues with any dealership but I've done alot of the work myself, the work I have the dealership do, I don't have any problems with, and I agree fully with BORICAN, if you drive it in working, you should drive it out working, no questions asked, and they are scared of lawyers (bad press etc) so they are more than willing to work with you if you seem pissed off enough.

The top problem aside with my current crossfire, now fixed after 10 trips to the dealer, I've rarely had problems with the 17 Chryslers I've owned of the years. I had a 99 Concorde LXi that had a common problem of the speed sensors in the tranny get dirty and go out. The dealer replaced one and said the code reader "went crazy" and it needed a $3,200 transmission. I called BS on that one and took to a transmission shop that replaced the other sensor for a mere $140 bucks. Soon that dealer was out of business of course.
The problem is most Chrysler dealers look at the Crossfire like it's kryptonite or something and don't want to work on them. If I were you I'd plunk down the change for the Chrysler MAX warranty, that also covers a rental car for up to 5 days while in for repairs. Get the warranty and take it back till they fix it or find another dealer in the area, unfortunately here the same company owns the Chrysler in the next town over so I'm stuck with them for service.
I almost gave up on mine, but Im glad I didn't and now I have 2 ...
