2007 Chrysler Crossfire

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2007 Crossfire.

Body PASSENGER CARTransmission Automatic 5-spd

The 2007 Chrysler Crossfire, a passenger‑car built on the ZH platform, pairs a 5‑speed automatic transmission with an 8.5‑quart oil capacity filled with 10W‑30 API‑specified oil. It achieves EPA fuel economy of 19 mpg city, 25 mpg highway and 21 mpg combined, and its reliability record shows 52 total owner complaints, with air‑bag issues accounting for the single recall. Within the 2004‑2008 complaint window, the 2007 model year sits near the low‑complaint endpoint — reporting 39 complaints in 2008 and far fewer than the peak 434 complaints of 2005 — indicating a modest but improving reliability profile for that era.

Fitment & sizes

Replacement part sizes and factory part numbers — battery, bulbs, filters and belts.

From the factory this vehicle uses a BCI 48 · 640 CCA battery, OE oil filter 05102907AA. Note the factory engine oil filter, spark plug, front wiper blades, thermostat and cabin air filter are now discontinued — plan on a superseded or quality aftermarket equivalent, which the part pages below list where known. Each part links to every other vehicle that shares it, so a part you already stock may fit more of your fleet than you'd expect.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the spark plugs every 100,000 mi; coolant every 100,000 mi. The big-interval services (every 100,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Every 18,500 mi	Cabin Air Filter (replace)
Every 50,000 mi	Driveshaft Flex Disc (inspect) · Steering Linkage (torque)
Every 60,000 mi	Engine Air Filter Element (replace) · Fuel Filter (replace)

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2007 Crossfire shows a marked decline in complaints compared to the 2005 peak of 434, dropping to 52 complaints with just one recall and two investigations, a sharp improvement over the 2006 figure of 74 complaints. Compared to the 2004 baseline of 109 complaints and no recalls, the 2007 model maintains a lower complaint count while adding a single recall, indicating a slight uptick in regulatory attention but overall fewer owner issues. The trend across the generation shows a sharp rise in 2005, a steep fall in 2006, and a modest rebound in 2007, suggesting 2007 sits near the low point of the complaint arc. In 2007, the top complaint categories are Air Bags (25 complaints) and Visibility/Wiper issues (8 complaints), with no reported crash or fire complaints, implying the vehicle’s safety and fire reliability are relatively sound. Given the low complaint volume and absence of safety-critical incidents, 2007 is a comparatively favorable year to consider, though the single recall warrants review of the specific issue before purchase.
