    Folks
    Recently caught in a snow storm, my mother in laws Crossfire was
    stranded as the ESP became confused or frozen and basically left the
    car in neutral.
    I wonder if this is a one time snow foul up or are there other
    instances of this in other Daimler Chrysler products?
    Thanks in advance.
    Cheers

  2. 30 years (off and on) driving Chrysler products (four current ones in the
    driveway now), haven't seen this issue.

  3. That's what you get for buying a car with computer-controlled electronic
    buttwipers.

    Next time put on the parking brake just a bit. If that does not work turn on
    the switch that turns off the traction control. If that does not work step
    on the brake a bit when you step on the gas.

    Not a common problem with regards to the ESP system, at least not in the
    300c's and magnums. The ESP is kind of amazing you would almost think it was
    like an all wheel drive. Your problem isnt normal, take it back and get that
    checked that is pretty major. But i have to ask, did you have the car in
    neutral? Ha ha.
