Hi All
New Crossfire Owner here. We were blessed by a friend who was going to give away his beloved Crossfire with only 80K when we needed a car. My wife and I had a blast driving it home from Seattle. Soon after being home, it would not start as described in the 2010 post. Dash lights, fob all work. Does not engage starter. At the mechanic it was discovered that it did start in neutral, but not in park after it warms up. Mechanic said it was the park sensor which is buried in the transmission. We said we are ok starting it in neutral to save the $1500 on that procedure. But now it also does not start in neutral. After scouring this forum, I do not see anything about a park sensor. I am going to point my mechanic to the RCM. Any other thoughts or agreements out there?
Thanks
