My 05 SRT crossfire has a problem that has even baffled the dealer... I am wondering if any one else has had this experience... My 05 is an auto stick and on some mornings when I start her up the shifter position indicator in the insturment cluster is blacked out. when I shift in to R or any other position, the transmission slams into gear and will not shift automaticly . Car also has no and I mean NO power on acceleration. Most of the time after driving about a block or so it will clear its self and all is normal ... the check engin light comes on and after about three aditional starts the check engine light resets... I have had the car in my posession for 3 days since thanksgiving and the rest of the time the dealer has tried to find the problem... I am hoping that this has happened to at least someone else that can help me .... I want my car back ......

 

Check out the ignition key to be sure that it is not binding and in a between normal position, Jiggle it. The blanked out display is indicating that the electronics are not happy, there is electrical issues here. My Dakota had several weird issues because of this key thing.

 

If the check engine light comes on, you MUST read the code!

Read the code.

 

My SRT6 does some similiar things & it went into the Dealer for the First time (& I hope the Last) yesterday, for Trans weepage, stuck in 2nd Gear I think, & No Gears shown in Dash Display & New Italia Titinium brake pads installed. (Let's hope they can get it right!) (Oh & sometimes, loss of power )
I'll let you know when I find out & it better be Soon!

 

The code that comes up is for a fault in the electrical Buss. The dealer has changed the shifter module and anti lock brake module ... The Chrysler Engineers tell that these items should be the problem . but it not fixed the problem ....

 

Can't tell you what the problem is, but it sounds like the being stuck in second and having no power is your car going into limp mode or atleast the trans going into limp mode.
