Im a newbie on this site and wanted to share with you all a Disaster with Crossfire No Start.
I bought my dream car 2005 SRT6 Roadster in June 2021 and (1) week later vehicle did not start.
After checking all obvious things, Battery, Fuses etc...I called the Dodge Dealer and they picked it up and towed back to Service Dept.
Dodge Service Dept determined something wrong with Security System and could not fix as the system was a Mercedes system.
So Crossfire went to off site Repair Shop and eventually discovered Engine Control Module and Security Module were toast.
We tried to get replacement Parts from Mercedes but they would Not/could Not sell them to us!
You all know your powertrain is Mercedes and body by Chrysler and VIN is Chrysler VIN.
Mercedes said we needed a Mercedes VIN to sell us new parts .
Mercedes parts department told us to escalate our issue to Chrysler Headquarters as Mercedes brass refused to sell to us.
Now Repair Shop is making effort to rebuild the smarts and parts that Mercedes refused to sell us.
Im beyond frustrated and Crossfire is still at shop (10) weeks later with no end in site.

I posted this note for all awareness and not asking for help with Parts and Smarts.
I regret to say I no longer own the Crossfire and Mercedes Customer Service SUCKs!!.

HAWK865 OUT!

 

First of all welcome to the forum..
Awareness of this problem you have discovered has been known for several years already
And we all know that Mercedes and Chrysler can not resolve the issues and avoid going to any dealership at all !!!
I'm sorry ya already gave up on owning your dream car 2005 SRT6 Roadster
This forum is the tool for many of us to maintain these cars we all love
There are ways to resolve this and there are many threads about this here already
Have a look .....

Skreem failure symptoms and repair that works

I hacked the Skreem, the Skreemulator

 

Should have come here before going to the Stealership. We could have gotten you back on the road!
Could be the SKREEM. Might have been a fuse. Could of been a $50 relay control module fix.
We've been through it all. If you can get her back we are here to help!

 

Josh Chase ( mercedesswapshop ) can provide the SKREEM fix for a reasonable amount.
