I had the recall work performed yesterday......I can't see anything......maybe they just stuff more padding under the headliner????
Hey Ray.....found a fantastic deal a few months ago.....the marriage between Chrysler and Daimler ended in divorce.....the Crossfire that was really a Mercedes & manufactured in Germany....stopped production on 12/17/07......Chrysler is virtually giving these fantastic cars away....as much as $15K off sticker!!! With a LIFETIME POWERTRAIN WARRANTY!!! I bought an '07 6 speed......151 mph top speed & I'm ave 25.1 mpg!!!! 3 valves & 2 spark plugs / cylinder ....19s on rear....owners manual...says ...."The laws of physics still apply..." (re. Stability Control) talk about lateral Gs !!!!

I am glad you like the car and good luck with it but I was never a fan of the car. I wouldn't describe it as fantastic and the lack of sales reflect that and its dismissal.

Non-transferrable warranty. You are stuck with it, and if you do decide to sell expect Chrysler like resale value.

Give me some details on sticker and what you paid plus what kind of rebates as I just sent an email to a dealer who has 6 of them. Also what year is yours? Email me if you rather do it that way. My email is shown in my profile.

I gave $20K plus a totally optionless '03 Alero /ecotec/5-speed with multiple dents & bondo..(had to try) that had 80K miles on it.....so I think total was <$23K OTD. MSRP was $36K. I'm not concerned with resale on the Crossfire....with the Lifetime Warranty....it's my last car....goal is to put 1,000,000 miles on it before I die! I'll email you.

Regarding the recall, I had mine done. You can feel what was added, to the corner of the headliner, between the pillar and where the visors mount. Feels like a hard foam piece, but it doesn't show or look any different. Only took about fifteen minutes for them to do.

Interior head impact is not a precise science. There are requirements that the OEM's do all the testing for and pass but when the government does it it sometimes does not meet the law.
So you have a recall on a pretty silly item. What are the chances of your head hitting that corner real estate by the pillar? If you are wearing your seatbelt would you even come close? Sorry but for sure GM passed that test in their labs but a tiny change or variation and it did not passat the government. Not sure if it is worth the money and customer time for a recall.

Silly or not, once the recall is in place, if not taken care of, within, 15 to 18 months, you can not renew the registration on the car, so not having it done is not an option.
