2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE Power Train Problems

ON MY WAY TO WORK HAVING JUST PASSED SEVERAL CARS, TRAVELING @70+ MILES/HR. ON THE INTERSTATE, I NOTICED WOBBLING & THE LOSS OF CONTROL & IMMEDIATELY MOVED TO THE RIGHT LANE & STEERED TOWARDS THE RIGHT SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY, THANKING GOD FOR NO ACCIDENT. I PUT THE GEAR IN~PARK~TURNED THE IGNITION SWITCH OFF & CHECKED THE EXTERIOR TO NOTICE MY NEWLY PURCHASED REAR PASSENGER TIRE WAS PREMATURELY BLOWN(RECENTLY PURCHASED TIRES). I CALLED A TOW TRUCK(2ND TIME THIS MARCH MONTH BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T CRANK IN MY DRIVEWAY): UPON THEIR INTERSTATE ARRIVAL, I LEARNED THAT THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM/ENGINE HAD SHUTDOWN WITH AN 'INABILITY TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL GEAR OR ANY GEAR IN ORDER FOR THEM TO TOW IT. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THE ENGINE HAS LOCKED LIKE THIS. THE CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR 8(EIGHT) MONTHS NOW SINCE MARCH 23, 2015 & THE CHRYSLER MECHANICS...

I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR. THE CUP HOLDER IS STUCK IN THE VERTICAL POSITION RIGHT WHERE MY ELBOW GOES WHEN CONTROLLING THE SHIFTER THUS MAKING IT DIFFICULT AND POSSIBLY DANGEROUS TO DO SO. I WENT ON THE INTERNET TO INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE AND FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS FROM CROSSFIRE OWNERS OF ALL YEARS ABOUT THIS VERY THING. CHRYSLER WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT IT INCLUDING JUST DISCONNECTING THE SPRING ON THE CUP HOLDER SO THAT IT WILL STAY DOWN. THE FIX IS OVER $300 IF YOU GET CHRYSLER TO DO IT, AND THEY INSTALL THE SAME DEFECTIVE PART AGAIN. NOT A GOOD FIX. I THINK IT IS DANGEROUS, VERY DISTRACTING WHILE DRIVING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AND ALL OF THE POWER TRAIN POSITION LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT COULD ALSO FEEL A VIBRATION IN THE SHIFT HANDLE. AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO START THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE RESPONDED HOWEVER, THE CONTACT WAS NOT ABLE TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK. AFTER SOME TIME, THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF THE LOWER GEARS WHILE IN MOTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THREE DIFFERENT DEALERS FOR DIAGNOSIS BUT NO CAUSE FOR THE FAILURE COULD BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 55,000.
