Vehicle Speed Control Problems of Chrysler Crossfire

I was driving the Crossfire one evening and it shut off in the middle of the street, I almost got rear ended. All of a sudden the engine shut off, the exterior and interior lights went off as well. The car rolled to a stop blocking all the traffic behind me. I tried to restart the engine and nothing happened, I had to have the car jump started, which took several attempts. I had no problems or indications that anything was wrong till this happened. Mechanics have put in a new battery, a crank position sensor, and a cam position sensor on the car. It started once after that, ran for a few minutes then stopped. After that it won't start, even when being jumped. Trying to get a ecm from the dealer. Dealer said the cost is $2,700. 00, and orders are pending until July 1, 2019 because of supplier change. Plus there is a flashing charge of $147. 00 to reset this item for the car. Other internet users have reported having their cars suddenly stop running when driving on the highways also.

This is a common problem on 1000's of Crossfire's and mercedes (all models from 1998 forward). This issue is the bas system and brakes. Intermittingly, and usually during warmer weather when applying the brakes the bas light comes on, as does the light indicator. The issue is that the brake lights do not come on. There is a fault where if the bas is not working, the brake lights do not come on. They are tied together in the electronics. The bas is not required to stop the vehicle, however no brake lights because of the fault is extremely unsafe. The vehicle cannot be driven. Research online has found 1000's of complaints, no resolution and typically hundreds or thousands in repair costs that do not fix the issue. The brake lights should run independently of the bas system. A common fix is connecting an inline fuse from the brake switch to the brake light, if one is mechanically inclined to do so. Contacting mb states they know the issue but cannot determine the cause they also stated too costly to change the system for a % of owners. Other car manufacturers have brake lights wired separately from bas systems.
