2004 chrysler crossfire my son was driving this car, lost control and hit a pole. He suffered a concussion and facial lacerations because his head hit the steering wheel before the airbags deployed.
After being involved in a front end collision the passenger side air bag deployed striking the window. The driver side air bag did not deploy. There was no passenger in the vehicle at the time of the accident.
I was in a car accident on july 24, 2005 where I rear-ended a buick rendezvous in my chrysler crossfire. I did extensive damage to the front end of my crossfire and there was no airbag deployment on the crossfire. I sustained minor seat belt injuries on my shoulder and across my stomach. I did call chrysler to let them know that the airbags did not deploy on the car and they stated they would have the car and accident investigated.
The engine cuts out without any pre-indications. Afterward the starter will not respond although the lights work ok. The transmission locks when put in park. Hours later the response stays the same. The first time it started working a day later, the second time it hasn't started yet. The dealer seems to have no idea on what to do. It left me stranded late at night. This seems to be a chronic crossfire problem.
