I just purchased a 2004 crossfire with only 16,000 miles. It still smells new. Beautiful white exterior and charcoal and red interior. In mint condition.
Anyway, The transmission has locked in low gear twice in the two weeks I have owned the car. Both times I had to pull over and turn the car off and restart. No problem after that.This makes me think it might be a module. I read where someone had an O ring problem.
Other then that it runs beautifully. Has anyone else had this problem. Appreciate any info.

 

I don't have an answer for your tranny problem but I do want to welcome you here to the forum. I also have an 04 Crossfire with 29565 miles but have never had any issues what so ever with my car. Someone here may be able to help. Anyway Welcome !!

 

Sorry to hear about your problem.
However, I can't resist this...
Are you trying to push the clutch pedal in when you're changing from first to second?
Or is it one of those automatic cars for people that can't coordinate their limbs???

 

Welcome to our forum!

Sorry about your problem. Haven't heard of this one before.

 

My 04 did it and my 05 does it too. Dont know what it is but it sure sucks when you want to play sometimes.
\Welcome to the forum.

 

"IF" it is an automatic, it sounds like it is going into "emergency mode" aka "limp home mode". If this is the case, you will need to get the transmission scanned to see what faults are stored. I can't imagine it being anything too serious with that mileage.That transmission is usually a very reliable unit.

 

It is an automatic. Thanks for your input.

 

Thanks for the welcome. I appreciate it. I have a 98 BMW M3 that's a stick. This is the first automatic I have had since 1983.

 

Thanks much for the welcome. I did alot of homework before buying a Crossfire. This car is amazing. Now I almost wish I bought the supercharged version. Beautiful designed car.

 

Thanks for the welcome. I take it in monday for a Maryland inspection (tags). Will ask the dealer then.

 

Both. I have a BMW M3 that's stick. The Crossfire is automatic. What can I say, the red and charcoal interior seduced me. So..an automatic. Think I 'll keep the M3 though. I need the leg excerise.

 

Thanks for the welcome. This car is amazing. I'll figure it out. Has to be a vaccum hose leak or a module problem.

 

The cedar is a amazing color also like the black and white

 

This may sound stupid but, when my brother first drove my crossfire for the first few times he had the same problem. What you have is an "autostick automatic" that means if you unknowingly move the shifter sideways while you are in first it will lock in first. I do not know if moving it back to neutral cancles it or not but, turning it off and restarting would for sure. Moving the stick sideways again until you see the "D" on the dash will also cancle it. You may have a more complex problem but, being a new owner I thought I would bring this possibilty to your attention.

Thanks Larry. It doesn't sound stupid at all. I probably did exactly what you described. Now I feel stupid. I'm glad you brought it to my attention.

 

Have done that once or twice
