The guys jumped started the car and my husband brought it home. We tried to start it a week later it would not start so we got a new battery and it would not start. We took it back to the Chrysler dealer and it has been with them for several months. They replaced the ecu board and still could not get the top to work. They called me today saying they could not fix the top due to the hydraulics. This whole experience has cost $2,700 and to be honest I am mad with the dealership and feel they are ripping me off. My car is very low mileage and I’m so disappointed, hope there is someone who can help.
I also have an '05 Roadster. I live in Rancho Mirage and I use International Motors in Cathedral City for my service needs. They are located at 68795 Ramon Road. Tel: 760-328-6646 and are an excellent independent shop that deals specifically with German vehicles. Sean is the owner and has purchased quite a few Crossfire-specific parts and tools. I have not had any of the problems you mention, so can't vouch for the fact that he would be able to diagnose and repair the items you mention. Do you belong to any of the Crossfire Facebook groups? If not, there is a wealth of information to be gained from many of their helpful members. Try Chrysler Crossfire Tech-Parts & Rescue as well as Chrysler Crossfire Owners International. I have learned so much since joining them. My Crossfire has only 15,500 miles on it and runs and operates beautifully so far (bought it from the original owner three years ago). I am dreading the few things that I have read might start to go wrong simply from age, not miles. Rear window falling out, Sticky Key Fix, ecu Board, etc. Good luck and I hope I run into you out there someday. Mine is Blaze Red.
