Eventually I think oledoc2u and another couple gurus began a discussion of potential problems and oledoc2u asked "you did purchase a genuine Mercedes fuel injector...correct?" My answer was "No". I was guided to do so and purchased a used one with some skepticism. My problem was fixed. Another time I logged on because of the steering lock issue which I fixed...again with help from the gurus on this site. We have replaced cam and crank position sensors, water pump, radiator, air conditioner compressor and yesterday the air conditioner condenser. On order I have an ambient temperature sensor because we are sure the outside temp is not always -36 degrees.
The thing is...today my wife turned the odometer over the 250,000 mile mark. Had it not been for the gurus on this site, I'd have told her to sell it on Craigslist for parts! As it is, with AC working again, she is as happy with her 2005 Graphite SRT-6 Roadster today as she was when she bought it in 2006. THANK YOU CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE FORUM..for helping me keep her happy!!! You folks make this the most valuable technical help site on the internet.

Hi Gerry! Having been in the 'customer service' portion of the active duty military (Civil Engineering Squadrons for 23 years 1972-1995, responsible for ALL base assets for all units assigned, who ARE our customers), it comes to no surprise that most of the comments that people take time to send in are complaints.
It is REFRESHING when managers, supervisors, owners of business's, cashiers, or a grateful forum member with a problem, posts or gets a feedback consisting of a
Pat-On-The-Back. Like the other posts below, I thank you for taking the time to recognize the most valuable legacy of owners and membership here in this forum. Keep coming back for help, there are many who are here to help you, and as you know time is on our side (given the costs associated with 'other' avenues of assistance).
As many here know, many don't come back to let the folks know what fix worked or if they are still having problems, it seems they (like old soldiers who never die) just fade away...
Gerry Your feedback (and others like it) makes it all worth it!
