2007 Chrysler Crossfire problems
The Chrysler Crossfire is a rear-wheel drive, two-seat sports car, marketed by Chrysler and manufactured by Karmann of Germany for the 2004 through 2008 model years.
Developed during the period when Chrysler and Mercedes Benz had merged, known as Daimler Chrysler, the two-seater uses the Mercedes-Benz R170 platform and shares 80% of its components with the first generation SLK. The second generation SLK was built on the R171 platform with model year 2005; the R170 platform was essentially handed down to Chrysler for the Crossfire. Having initially arrived in 2001 as a concept car styled by Eric Stoddard, the Chrysler was further refined by Andrew Dyson before production began in 2003 for 2004 model year sales.
Design
The name "Crossfire" refers to two character lines that run from front to rear along the body sides, prominently crossing below the mirrors on the door panels. Conceived during the period of Daimler Chrysler, the name also refers to the collaboration of the two companies.
The Chrysler Crossfire concept car was introduced at the 2001 North American International Auto Show and the production version was unveiled at the 2002 Los Angeles Auto Show as a 2004 model "is as faithful a translation from concept to production as any in recent memory." The concept car was designed "to evoke a strong, passionate, emotional response. We had to retain that. We want to polarize our audience—we want people to love it or hate it."
Conceived as a two-seat halo car for the Chrysler brand, the marketing objective was also to make use of available components using a two-seat roadster chassis. The production car shares about 39% of its parts with Mercedes-Benz vehicles and Chrysler dealers were required to invest in special equipment, tools, and parts to be able to market the new luxury model. The rear-wheel-drive Crossfire coupe styling objective was for a "unique, almost sculptural" design.
The Crossfire 's styling includes a wide stance with 19-inch rear wheels and 18-inch front wheels. Automotive journalists compared the Crossfire to American Motors' 1965–1967 AMC Marlin. Noted journalist, Paul Leinert said the "distinctive boat-tail rear end reminds more than one observer of the old Rambler Marlin." For example, Rob Rothwell wrote "... when I first espied the rear lines of the Chrysler Crossfire I was instantly transported back to 1965 and my favorite car of that year, the Rambler Marlin." Motor Trend also compared the "provocative boattail theme" of the 2004 Crossfire's sheetmetal to that of the AMC Marlin fastback. The Crossfire's tail is "formed as the edges of the roof converge into a kind of teardrop shape, leaving the rear fenders to flare out over the rear wheels."
Chrysler said the Crossfire took inspiration from the 1930s art deco period and buildings such as the Chrysler Building. Motor Trend cites vehicle influences from 1930s including Bugattis and the Talbot Lago. Chrysler wanted to once again offer a performance coupe reminiscent of the luxury reputation they enjoyed during the late 1950s to mid-1960s with the Chrysler 300 letter series coupes and convertibles.

Why was the Chrysler Crossfire discontinued?
Chrysler discontinued it due to poor sales. Additionally, FCA (now Stellantis) purchased Chrysler from Daimler-Benz, whose Mercedes SLK series chassis was the basis for the Crossfire, so I imagine that played a part in the Crossfire's demise as well.

Is Crossfire a good car?
After driving the Crossfire, we came away wishing it had more low-end torque, slightly better steering feel, less interior plastic and better ergonomics in the cabin, but we can't deny how much fun the car is on twisty roads, or how upscale it feels when cruising along coastal highways.
Why did the Crossfire fail?
The Crossfire SRT-6 had a factory wing that looked cheap, and out of place, so the exterior styling was divisive, but the interior was where the Crossfire fell apart.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2021-11-01
- VIN: 1c3ln65l07x
- Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: My car has 47,800 miles on it and is a convertible. Its a known problem among crossfire owners and it hasn't been resolved. The problem is the rear window is coming undone and just falls out. The dealerships won't fix it and auto repair shops want thousands of dollars. It's not only a quality issue but a HUGE safety issue as well. If that window was to fall while someone is driving the car it could injure them while they are driving or possibly fall onto the road and causing countless problems and injuries to the other motorists driving behind the car. Its not an issue of the owner of the car being negligent or miss using the vehicle, its a quality and safety issue.

Positive 2007 Chrysler Crossfire car reviews

I've only had the car a couple of weeks, but it's been a blast to drive! It gets a lot of looks from passersby. This car comes highly recommended by all agents in the car industry that we have spoken to. I'm excited to enjoy many years of driving this sweet little beauty.
-
I bought the base model to get the 6 speed manual because I was told it wasn't available on the srt model. The Crossfire does have a much nicer interior and the convertible top is all automatic. However, I do feel that they could have pushed more horsepower out of that six. Just look at Honda's S2000 4 cylinders - no turbo or supercharger and it pushes more power, has less weight, a cheaper price, and a quicker 0-60. It also handles better.
-
Your quest for a sports car began in the fall of '07 and you were initially sold on the Saturn Sky. However, a friend suggested that you give the Crossfire a try and you're so glad you did! This car is an absolute joy to drive - it's like becoming one with the vehicle. You've only had it for two weeks, but you're already in love with its sexy, curvy, and sleek retro design. It's a true head-turner! Thanks for making your dream come true.
-
Great to hear that you're enjoying your car! It sounds like you're really happy with the comfort, fit, finish, and performance. Plus, it's always a bonus when a car looks cool! And with 21-25 MPG, it's definitely a solid choice.
-
I was searching for a two-seater sports car and considered the Z-4, Miata, and similar cars. In my opinion, the Crossfire is by far more stylish than the Miata and cooler than the Z-4 and other options. I drive this car to work, 24 miles a day, and I absolutely love it. It's a real head-turner, sticks to the road, has a great average fuel economy of 24 mpg, and drives as good as it looks. It's a great value.

I love many things about my car! For instance, I can easily smoke those little Mitsubishi's and VW's at red lights. Additionally, I consistently get 26-27MPG when driving 80-90 on the highway. I also love that I can put the top down without getting out of the car and take corners at 80 that my Jeep can only take at 50-60. Another great thing is that my wife can't pack 400lbs of clothes when we go on a trip and she is totally fine with that. But most importantly, I still get excited just looking at it even after almost 2 years. If my wife and I had to choose between each other or the car, we'd both take the car. I love my wife of 28 years and I love my car too!
