Should I buy The Chrysler Crossfire?

Question 1
Should I buy The Chrysler Crossfire?...  Anyone know if these are good cars?
I have an insane need for speed.

Answers
1)   Crossfire ain't fast. Maybe you have the need for slug speed. - Hank Scorpio

2)   no, you're looking in the wrong place entirely. the Crossfire is a complete piece of junk. it may be based on the old Mercedes SLK roadster, but that's the only good thing about it. it uses a Chrysler V6, and they're complete garbage in terms of reliability. the power level isn't high at all(even for the SRT), and it's only available with an automatic transmisson. they're also heavy as hell and handle like garbage considering their softer suspension. if you're serious about performance, then they have nothing to offer you. there's a reason why these things are so cheap.

if i were you, i'd check out an older Nissan 350Z or Honda S2000. you can get a decent one for a little over 10k these days(even less for the S2000). even the Honda makes the same amount of power as the Crossfire, and it uses a four-cylinder. both cars are also lighter, have much better suspension and handling, are available with a stick-shift, and have will be a lot more reliable if you plan on using it as a daily driver. - James Dean

3)   i am a crossfire certified technician through chrysler and i can guarantee you will hate that car as much as i do - bone breaker johnson 2010

4)   Rather than listen to these people (some of them are clowns who know nothing) test drive it and make your own decision. It is based on a Mercedes Benz SLK 320 so parts are pricey when they wear out or break. The SRT-6 is a blast to drive. The interior is a bit small for me. - C-Tech

5)   I believe it only has a V6 and it's not even turbo charged. You're better off buying a Dodge Challenger SRT8 or R/T, which comes with a powerful HEMI V8 - The Great Brandini

6)   To correct the rest of these morons (excluding C-Tech), you can get the Crossfire with a manual, you can get it supercharged, it is not "heavy as hell," and, from what I have heard, it's not terribly unreliable at all. In my opinion of the car, the base model is a bit of a hair-dresser's car and may not satisfy your "insane need for speed." The SRT-6, however, IS A BEAST. - Maxwell Pepper

7)   The crossfire is great on the looks department but speed is more towards the Mazda RX-8 or maybe a s-line Audi like the S4 - Maximilian King

8)   You should also consider that such a car may be expensive to insure. Check your insurance rates before buying one, for example here - carinsurance.yoll.net - Clay

Question 2
My rear passenger door does not work Electronic my 2001 town and country. Could it be the fuse or the motor?...  

Answers
1)   the problem is not going to be a fuse its going to be in the chain wiring harness that is below the door if it opens up halfway or more like a 1/4 way and stops. if it doesn't do anything than there is a good chance its the door motor a dealer can retrieve fault codes from the door module its just going to cost as much as the cars value - bone breaker johnson 2010

2)   There is probably a broken wire within the wire harness (it looks like a plastic chain) at the bottom of the door. Replacement at a dealer or shop is about $150-200. If you are mechanically inclined you can try to open up the harness and repair the broken wires. - C-Tech

3)   wires can be a problem , it could be like you say could also be a bad wire , a loose connection also a number of other problems unless you have good knowledge of this problem take it to a shop you can trust. - angelfire_leadtech

4)   When it has a problem it will go into default mode until the problem is fixed. - Jackolantern

Question 3
About the starter on my Chrysler town and country van?...  Hello,

This summer my husband and I traded in our 2010 dodge caravan for a 2007 Chrysler mini van. Well After my husband traded our 2010 in he was deployed overseas shortly after wards. Our 2008 has been sitting in our garage for the past five months, but I have been running it so that it. And moving it back and forth until he comes back this year in December. Well recently our van just shut off. We found out that it was not the battery that it may be the starter. So my question is. is it possible that we can get our old vehicle back the 2010 that we traded in because this van that we have now have not been driven around a lot and it is used. I'm afraid that this problem may have occurred before with the van we have now and the people at the car dealer did not tell us about it. We do have a warranty on the vehicle that we have now so what should we do or what can we do. Because I heard that a starter can cost a lot of money. Any suggestions. Thank you so much and many Blessings.

1)   Starters ar not that expensive in fact if u look under starters in phone book u will see someone can rebuild it, (Like starters and alternators rebuilt.) but you still have to take it out and bring it in might be 50 bucks maybe 80. The last time u started it did it rarararararara well that means it was turning the motor and surely it still ok. now if it whent rarazzzzzzzzzzzzzzz rarazzzzzzz zzzz zzz
then that means its getting shot. But if it started fine last time rararavroom then its something else.
If your battery is ok it might just be a ground wire.

Sry there is no way u r gonna get the other car back.Ask some ladies u know if there husband/boyfreind can help gl. - scott

2)   Of course you will never be able to get your 2010 van back but about your 2008 you say the van just recently shut off, was the van running and then died or you were not able to start it? because if you been running the engine once a week or less, it is not enough to keep the battery strong enough to start the engine so the main thing to do is jump start it with another vehicle with jumper cables that are at least 4 gage because if you use 8 gage or higher it will not start your engine, now if while the jumping cables are connected your van start normal then it is not your starter, you just need to drive your for at least 30 minutes in the day time so you are not using your head lights and you can also take your vehicle to an auto shop to have the battery charged with a commercial charger and at the same time they may test it for you but also have a second opinion in the event that they tell you your battery is bad because they may just want to sell you a new battery. Good Luck! - King

3)   Use the warranty. - Jackolantern

Question 4
how can I get my 2010 Chrysler 300 Touring AWD to switch back into 2 wheel drive from 4 wheel drive?...  First snow in Minnesota and the AWD drive kicked in, showing "4 drive" on the instrument cluster. Several days later with the roads clear, cluster still shows "4 drive" instead of "2 drive" and car seems to accelerate a bit slower. Is there a way to reset without a visit to the service dept?

Answers
1)   What does the owners manual say?.......................%%% - **Uncle Jed Sez**

2)   It's probably in the owners manual somewhere. - The Great Brandini

3)   try puting it in neutral and switching it - lilangelsbuddy

Question 5
Does a Chrysler concorde 93 have a shut off switch.?...  

Answers
1)   Yes, to shut it off, you turn the key cylinder opposite of the way you turn to start the car.


If you're asking if it has a fuel cut-off switch, then no, it doesn't have a switch. It uses a relay that controls both spark and fuel called an ASD relay (ASD = Auto Shut Down), it is located in the fuse/relay block under the hood. - Mark B

2)   Mark B is right. But the automatic shut down relay works only if the power control module receives a signal from the crank sensor. This is in case of an accident and the engine isn't running, the ASD will stop running the fuel pump. - Jackolantern
