2005 Chrysler Crossfire — reported problems

CarFaultIQ holds 243 evidence records for the 2005 Chrysler Crossfire, drawn from official sources and owner complaints.

What owners report: issue areas

Owner complaints are classified by the system they concern: 241 classifications in all. One complaint can concern several systems, so these add up to more than the number of complaints.

  • Visibility (glass, wipers, mirrors)85 (35.3%)
  • Body & structure59 (24.5%)
  • Electrical system37 (15.4%)
  • Engine8 (3.3%)
  • Powertrain (transmission & drivetrain)6 (2.5%)
  • Tires & wheels6 (2.5%)

Other / uncategorized: 22 classifications (9.1%) were not assigned to a specific system by the source. They are counted but not treated as an issue area.

These are counts of records held by CarFaultIQ, not a failure rate. More records can simply mean more vehicles were sold or more owners reported. No vehicles-in-service figure exists in this data, so no reliability or risk score can be derived from it.

What the records are about, by source

Each source is kept separate: owner complaints, recalls, manufacturer communications and investigations are different kinds of record and are never added together. All model years.

  • Owner complaints (808 records, model years 2004–2008) are most frequently classified under: visibility (glass, wipers, mirrors), body & structure and electrical system.
  • Manufacturer communications (301 records, model years 2004–2008) are most frequently classified under: equipment & accessories, electrical system and body & structure.

"Most frequently classified under" reports how the records are filed by the source. It is not a finding about causes, and a record can be filed under more than one system. Read the individual records

Mileage reported when the issue occurred

  • 166reports included a mileage
  • 50,922average of those mileages

This is the mileage owners recorded at the time they reported, not an expected failure mileage and not a prediction for any individual vehicle. The lowest and highest figures on record are not shown: they are unverified odometer entries that include zeros and implausibly high readings, so they would not describe a real range. A median is not shown either, because the stored figures are group totals and a median cannot be recovered from them.

Evidence by model year

Records held per model year. Select a year to narrow this page to it.

  1. 2004 157 records for 2004
  2. 2005 243 records for 2005
  3. 2006 81 records for 2006
  4. 2007 83 records for 2007
  5. 2008 75 records for 2008

Counts are not adjusted for how many vehicles were sold in each year, so a taller year is not necessarily a worse year.
