Unhappy Having automatic transmission problems

I have a 05 Limited Roadster that had been having problems with idling? I will start the car up in the mornings and after I have gone about a mile or two and come to a stop, the car begins to idle very rough almost to the point of stalling! I have taken it to the dealer 3 times now. Actually it is there as I write this. They say nothing is wrong with the car because:

1.) The computer does report any error codes.

2.) They cannot recreate the problem.

I have noticed on this site that others have had the same problem with their 04's. I told the dealer about this and they told me that "well those were the 04's, this is an 05' I asked them if the 05's could possibly be having the same problem. They said to me, "Don't know, Chrysler has not said anything"
I would really like to know if anyone out there with an 05 Limited Roadster has had this problem also. I have also called Chrysler and explained to them what the problem is and I was told there was nothing they could do for me!!!! Great customer service.

If anyone can please help!!! I am beginning to regret ever buying a Crossfire.

I'm one of those with an 04 with the problem. Finally got an error code after four trips to the dealer, but it was an unknown code. They said there appeared to be a vacuum leak around a seal, so they ended up replacing the mass air flow sensor and a couple of seals. The dealer said that he was not at all certain that it was fixed. It has not happen since, but I drive the car very little so that doesn't mean it won't happen again. Deep down I don't think the problem is solved.

What is the build date of your vehicle? PM me the last 8 of your VIN. I'll run it past a few tech advisors and see what they suggest.

My build number is 1291, one of the very early cars. Good luck with your problem.

Did you ever notice at night when your at a stop light and its idling rough, your lights will dim as if you turned on the AC, rolled down the window, and plugged in your Cell Phone all at the same time. What my gut feeling is that it is our alternator. The ones they used must be from the 230, or something because it dips way to low. I want to know what is drawing that many amps to cause it to seem like it just might stall. I read somewhere that they installed 90 Amp alternators, instead of the required 120 Amp.
