I had it flat-bedded to the dealer. This was on April 26. The next day the Chrysler dealer told me there was a problem with the computer module that tells the car to "shift." They ordered the part but warned me it was either a one or two part repair job and they wouldn't know if the second part was needed until the first part was done. The part was on back order because the car is a 2005 and they said "Chrysler just isn't making alot of parts for a new car." Can you believe this? The part finally came in the following week and they put it in. On May 6th they told me the car was fixed and they just wanted to road test it. I arranged to pick it up the next day on a Saturday. I got the car and my husband drove it home while I went elsewhere with his truck. When I got home he said "you're not gonna be happy...the check engine light is on again and the car is not shifting." I had the car flat-bedded to the dealer again on Monday May 9. At this point they told me they did everything Chrysler told them to do (both parts of the repair) and they were waiting for advice. After alot of arguing with them during the week they called me on Thursday and said they fixed the problem. It was not the computer module after all but rather a loose connection to the shifter or something like that in the dashboard. I picked the car up yesterday and it seems to be fixed. They put 80 miles on it road testing the car and didn't bother to replace the gas, either. All in all they had the car 17 days.
What was really amazing about the whole ordeal is when I called Chrysler for roadside assistance/tow. After giving all my information, the guy said to me "is this a 4-wheel drive or SUV?" I said 'IT IS A SPORTS CAR...IS THIS CHRYSLER ON THE PHONE?" He said to me "I don't have any idea what a Crossfire is." DUH!!
