#1418 of 1519 Re: What % of Crossfire is Mercedes Benz parts? [riddlebox] by smogdung Nov 16, 2008 (4:15 pm)
Replying to: riddlebox (Nov 14, 2008 5:56 pm) The sticker on my 07 says 0% U.S. and Canadian parts.   If you buy the Mobil-1 0-40 (as required by the owners manual) & the filter & take it to a Walmart & have them change the oil....the whole thing will cost less than $75-$80.   The FSS (Oil life monitor) will easily let you go 7,500 miles. Considering we all used to change our oil every 3,000 miles.....the net increase in cost to maintain your Lifetime Powertrain Warranty isn't really that big a deal. Keep receipts!   Nothing with an "SRT" designation gets the Lifetime Powertrain Warranty.   There is a dealership in Dallas I think that is dumping them for $17K off sticker (or more!!) right now.

Replying to: smogdung (Nov 16, 2008 4:15 pm) Or better yet.....get an oil extractor and change the oil yourself. Everything is done from the top of the engine and super easy.

Replying to: crossfire66 (Sep 03, 2008 3:40 pm) I also live in SE Michigan and I am just curious as to which dealer you made the positive remarks about.   Arge

Replying to: kt2u (Nov 03, 2008 1:07 pm) I also live in SE Michigan (Canton). I found that it handles fine unless there is a lot of snow. Our first snow last February was rough to drive in, but other than that no problem. Do you have the all weather tires? They are the continentals and suppose to be much better than the "sports". I have the all weather, but like I said, it is rough to drive in deep snow.   Arge
#1423 of 1519 Free alignment check and wipers first 12,000 miles? by ozark2 Dec 01, 2008 (9:00 am)
Is it true that if you have bought a new Crossfire you can get a free alignment check and wiper blades if you do so within 12 months and 12,000 miles?   Thanks! Replies to this message: smogdung (Dec 01, 2008 10:03 am)

Replying to: ozark2 (Dec 01, 2008 9:00 am) I bought mine on 12/5/07, as of today I have almost 18,000 miles on it. At about the 13-14 K miles point I noticed the fronts were wearing unevenly....outer treads on both tires significantly thinner than inner treads. I spoke with 2 dealerships & they both said that I was out of luck ...as the alignment was only covered for 12 months or 12,000 miles - whichever came first. About a week ago I got new tires for the front & discovered that nobody can do the alignment on a Crossfire except a Chrysler or Mercedes dealership.......I scheduled an alignment at a 3rd Chrysler dealership ($89) & as I was checking out....I asked, "Is there any chance this is covered by warranty ?" Service manager said "Yes, first alignment covered during warranty period." I guess he meant the 3 year / 36 K bumper to bumper period???? I was happy!!   Anyway, on another forum ...most say the original Conti All Season tires have rarely lasted over 20-25 K.....I got less than most I guess ...cause mine was slightly out of alignment from the factory.
#1425 of 1519 Emissions state inspection failure by bordercop Dec 02, 2008 (4:38 pm)
Just had my newly acquired 05 Crossfire coupe fail the emissions test in NY. They said I'd have to run the car somemore to reset the computer for emissions readings. Nothing was present due to the car either battery unplugged or something along those lines. The car only arrived from a dealer this week where I assume it sat for a month and perhaps had the battery disconnected. Would this cause my failure? I read the manual and turned the key to on and checked the engine light as it says and found no problem. Do you think it may have reset itself or programmed itself already and is safe to go back for a reinspection tomorrow?
#1426 of 1519 emissions state inspection failure by hayneldan Dec 06, 2008 (9:36 pm)
Yes the codes stored in the computer can be not valid if the battery has been disconnected or recharged. Drive it for a week before trying the test again with at least 15 starts and ignition off stops before trying the test again. Replies to this message: bordercop (Dec 12, 2008 5:11 pm)
