The Chrysler Crossfire is a sports car that is also available as a coupé station wagon and a roadster. It was built from 2003 to 2007. The engines of all models are equipped with a timing chain, making timing belt replacement unnecessary. Still, a timing chain is not maintenance-free. It too is subject to wear and tear.

We recommend checking the timing chain regularly, especially in sports cars whose engines are more heavily loaded than those of a normal mid-size car.
