#854 of 1520 Re: Are Crossfires being discontinued? [xfireroadster] by mrmopar Apr 12, 2006 (8:49 pm)
Replying to: xfireroadster (Jan 01, 2006 5:34 pm) IF there is a 2006 built, it will be built in very limited quantities. Chrysler is already in negotiations with Karmann for idled plant capacity.   That said; think about this for a minute. With a 17K unit max production per year, you’re talking maybe 51K units total produced so far for the US. Chrysler builds 16K 300's alone a month for example. It is a very limited production run overall. Plus, they were able to revamp a majority of the former SLK320 platform which no doubt helped Daimler overseas with it's suppliers.   If Daimler lost $5K for the last 20K units built, that would be $100 million dollars. Their goal with the Crossfire was to elevate the Chrysler image. I think they have done that and more. How much publicity has this car had since its concept debut? I am not talking advertising, but media exposure. You certainly could not purchase anywhere near the media time this car has experienced for the amount that Daimler might lose. I think they are doing exactly what they intended, the Crossfire was a big advertising venture for the Chrysler Group, and I think it has done rather well in that regard for DCX.   I love my car; it is fantastic, unique, fun, reliable, and just plain looks better than anything else on the road. I don't care if they never build another one, I have mine, and I'm gonna keep it. Why, unless they build the Firepower, I don't think there will be anything as artistically styled for a very long time.   Mr MoPar
#855 of 1520 Help desperate Convertible top stuck part way up.... by rhp1114 Apr 13, 2006 (6:13 am)
I did something really stupid and don't want my husband to know. We recently purchase a new 2005 Crossfire Roadster and being the good wife that I am, I decided to wash the car. Decided to leave the convertible top part way up to make sure it dried and everything else dried before putting the top completely down. Now a day later,I tried to make the top go down or up and it won't do either. The light on the switch on the console to raise and lower top is flashing. Can anyone tell me what to do? Yes, I am a Blonde. LOL I tried calling the dealer and all they said was bring it in...even a dumb blonde knows she can't drive the car to the dealer with the top part up.

#856 of 1520 Follow up to problem with engine by gumtreefl Apr 13, 2006 (6:26 am)
Replying to: gumtreefl (Apr 01, 2006 4:32 am) Thought you might be interested in the outcome .. original guy had a "Velocity Performance Module" put on engine; somehow this was causing the mass air flow sensor to misfire (?) - mechanic remarked it looked like a 'kid' did the install as they cut into one of the hoses. Cost me $142 to diagnose/remove/repair; all done in one day. Not a problem since then! Followed up with original owner; said he 'forgot about it' and it never caused him any problems. He added that the Chrysler mechanic in GA did the install 'on the side'.

Hi   Just bought a crossfire and have just noticed the left hand side of the interior light is not working properly, could be a loose connection or needs a new bulb, can someone tell me how to open the cover to get to the bulb. many thanks Alan Replies to this message: xfireroadster (Apr 16, 2006 5:22 pm)

Replying to: srtbeem (Mar 31, 2006 7:15 am) Just as a follow up...turned out to be an oil seepage problem - the valve cover gasket on the left side of the engine. I noticed it because the smell turned into smoke. Chrysler had the car 3 times and could not find it. I finally did. It is getting fixed (hopefully).

#860 of 1520 Re: GPS question [marcogon] by raywilliams Apr 14, 2006 (4:44 am)
Replying to: marcogon (May 01, 2005 6:31 pm) Answers sound very disappointing. Just ordered a 2005 Crossfire Limited with GPS. Shocking to hear that a visual mapping screen is not included. No wonder there are no pictures on the www, I wouldn’t have spent $1200 for just text and voice. What a rip-off!

Replying to: rhp1114 (Apr 13, 2006 6:13 am) First,make sure the windows are all the way down.Also check to make sure the divider in the trunk is up in its locked position in the slots on both sides.
#862 of 1520 Luggage Cover US advice needed by mprice1 Apr 16, 2006 (8:07 am)
Live in the UK, just bought a 2004 crossfire, love it. But need to think with my head for a minute - I would like to know if anyone has fitted the luggage cover? If so, is it a good aftermarket part? Does it fit well and did you have dealer fit it? Again if so how long did it take them? Car is pretty rare in the UK and local dealers cannot answer any of these questions - just want to be sure they wont rip me off. any avice would be greatly received Replies to this message: beebaba (May 01, 2006 3:36 pm) earltj (Jul 25, 2006 11:49 am) cmckenzie (Dec 07, 2007 2:46 pm)

Replying to: foil (Apr 13, 2006 10:18 am) Use a jewelers screwdriver and pry the lens cover off, there are 2 screws that need to be removed and the light will come off but will still be attached by the wires. If the bulb is blown consider your self lucky (more likly to be a short/defect), had mine changed under warranty at a cost of $185.00 to DChrysler. I had the same problem that you describe and I also know of others also, all changed/replaced under warranty. If your XFire is still under warranty you are covered, check with Allpar to see if there is a TSB for this problem.
