Agreed, He should find out if there is a similar emissions warranty like we have here. also he needs to find a good independent shop and see if they can bill work to the extended warranty.

 

My temp sensor went out for the s/c right after I bought the roadster. The dealer had my car for a week. Fortunitely at that time, the service mgr and I were close friends. We replaced the pump, but it still did it, and the sensor was bad. But at least we all took our time to figure it out. All paid under warranty. I told him then, if this happens once the warranty is out, I am dead. He has since moved on, but you could at least reason with him. Not the service writers today, or the service mgr's. My dealer has a female service mgr with zero mechanical experience. Customer service yes, but no mechanical...so at least I will get a smile when I get screwed...I dont' think so....lol

 

I KNOW---I worked so hard to find THE PROBLEM at my repair centers---Throwing parts can get expensive in a quickness---and NOT fix the problem---My motto was "Test not Guess"---The problem was Alldata would tell me with "replace with good known part"---Well, my suppliers would not take electrical returns if used (for good reason)---What I NEEDED was the testing procedure on the "bad" part not just to "replace" that part---We had scopes and meters---We knew had to use them---But we did NOT have the values---We would find them, but that took forever sometimes---Plus it was work and today they do not want to do the extra work---And God forbid "think"---ALSO, did not see the "out of country" part of the post!!!! Good luck---I would BET and BET BIG that it is NOT the ECM.

 

Wow, what a mess. Wouldn't it be great if we would turn into the forum a listing a good Chrysler Dealerships that work well with Crossfires. Europe and America as a listing. Then we can know we have good choices to take our Baby to. Just a thought.

What a mess alright.

 

I have a very good indy MB shop that likes working on the Crossfire and is good too...... but he is in Oregon...

 

They charged me £262 for the diagnosis and re-assembly of the car. They reckoned it actually took around 8hrs, and they charge £99.95 per hour, so it wasn't as bad as they first threatened. But it was still an incorrect diagnosis.

We don't have an emission warranty or anything of the such in the UK. Basically if it's outside of the manufacturer warranty then you're only covered by 3rd party warranties if you have them. This one was given to me when I bought the car. It was a one year Jaguar Select warranty. I bought it used from a Jaguar dealership after its previous owner traded it (and an old XJ8) in for a shiny, new XJR. It didn't cover the whole car, only parts explicitly mentioned in the policy document, which wasn't much. It didn't include the ECU, or any part of a forced induction system except for a turbocharger unit. In fact, it covered sh*t-all and wasn't really worth the paper it was printed on. It was free, so perhaps I shouldn't complain too much.

They did give me the exact fault code but I don't have it to hand right now. It is an EGR code. But it would have thrown a dashboard light, and I had nothing of the sort. A few months back, I had an issue where the secondary air injection pump stuck on. I think that code was historic and related to that earlier problem. Something they should have known, especially since they looked at that earlier problem.

I had a word with the dealership and they've given me £200+vat off a service (which is now due) if I take it to them. It's due a good service, so I could definitely use that. If I take legal action now then it'll almost certainly be rejected because they've made me a “reasonable offer” of reimbursement. So I'll probability take them up on that offer, although it does mean handing the car back over to those numpties. How much damage could they do with a service!?

 

No! Don't give them the car for service. You solved the problem, try to get your money and never go back. The guy took your whole supercharger off, who knows how skilled he is? SRT6 doesn't even have an EGR system so there is another clue. Yikes!!!!

Find a good independent guy you trust or just wrench yourself.

 

Alright I've had a major issue since I bought my 05 Crossfire.. 1 month after I bought my car it would stall out in 1st or 2nd gear and I would Have to stop turn the car off and restart the car for it to drive correctly. 4 months later the same problem consist but now the car is stuck in 1st gear and will not shift... Also the check engine light is on and the codes I'm getting are p0715 & another code that says the tcm has malfunctioned I think it's p0705. Also I go to put the car in reverse and it jerks into reverse and I place it in D and it jerks into 1st then I drive it and the cars RPM's rev up and doesn't shift??? I unplugged the TCM and the battery but the check engine lights still on and the car still acts up.... What gives, pleasssse HELP?!?!
