Crossfire 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 250 miles
There is a dangerous electrical short located within the dash board area of my Crossfire. The electrical short could lead to a hot spot in the wiring harness, which could lead to a fire in the passenger side dashboard area. If this fire should happen while the automobile is being stored inside my home garage, the results would be catastrophic. As illustrated by the video I uploaded to the following url link for your viewing photos.imageevent.com/firebase/videos/Crossfire%20tapping%20in%20dash%20sound.wmv, you can clearly see the electrical short occurring, and hear the audible clicking, as the short is opening and closing. Please note I furnished to daimler Chrysler's district manager a copy of the same video, by way of a ups delivery. He made the claim people doctor videos. Therefore, he refused to review the video. At this time a hard copy of the video, and the above referenced link, are being forwarded to the attorney generals office of Consumer Affairs in Alabama, for their evaluation.
