MOT Roadworthiness: Below Average

Common Problems: CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Sticky Ignition Barrel(Moderate)
A internal pin in the ignition barrel can jam, preventing the key from turning to the "Start" position. This often requires a replacement barrel or a specialist "pin removal" repair.
- Relay Control Module (RCM) Solder Failure(Serious)
The RCM (located in the engine bay fuse box) controls the fuel pump and starter. Solder joints on the board can crack over time due to heat cycles.
- Water Pump and Thermostat Failure(Moderate)
The Mercedes-sourced water pump and thermostat housing can fail, leading to overheating. The thermostat housing is plastic and can crack, causing coolant loss.
- Roadster Soft-Top and Latch Issues(Moderate)
The Roadster's fabric roof can develop leaks, and the latch mechanism can fail, preventing the roof from sealing properly. The roof hydraulics can also leak.
