Transmission Slip Out Of Gear Problems of Chrysler Crossfire

As I've read on here, this car has a tendency to drop out of 1st gear on take off. This happens frequently enough that I've studied whether my hand on the shift or not makes a difference. It doesn't. Just why Chrysler thinks this isn't a defect is beyond comprehension. Its a 6 speed and I quit using 1st gear, too unpredictable, or rather too predictable as I know its going to drop out.

Chrysler cross fire 2004. The manual transmission violently slips out of first gear into neutral after the car is moving the vechile and the clutch is disengaged. Albeit infrequently. This causes a very dangerous situation, crossing traffic that isn't controlled via a sign or light. Or, at any stop with someone behind you. In the 1,500 miles I've driven the car since I purchased it, I have narrowly avoided being rear-ended three times due to this problem. The dealership's service personnel have observed and verified the tendancy of it to slip from gear, (however Chrysler stars reponded that the problem wasn't frequent enough to repair). Leaving each start into traffic is the chance of a collision.
