After running fine for a month with the new battery, my bas/esp light started coming on randomly, then it did the christmas tree lights thing along with limp mode. Turned car off, then back on and it drove fine again. I'm suspecting the Conductor plate in the transmission, and can order one for about $200, then replace it myself. I'm thinking of having a dealer diagnose the problem with their drb III starscan tool, because I don't really want to start throwing parts at it without knowing for sure. However, I do not trust dealerships in any way, shape or form.

Trading in the Crossfire may be my best choice. Nice car, absolute **** electronics.
