BACK WINDOW FELL OUT WHILE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE ONLY THING THAT KEPT IT FROM COMING COMPLETELY LOOSE WAS THE REAR WINDOW DEFROST WIRES.
NHTSA complaint #10862259 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
STRUCTURE:BODY
I PURCHASED THIS CAR THIS YEAR FROM A CHRYSLER EXECUTIVE WHO HAS OWNED IT FOR YEARS. SHE TOLD ME THAT WHILE DRIVING IT THE REAR GLASS WINDOW FELL OUT. THIS WAS HER DAILY DRIVER SO SHE HAD IT RE GLUED AS FAST AS SHE COULD SO SHE WOULD HAVE A CAR TO GET TO WORK.SHE DID NOT KNOW OF THE TSB ON THIS. TSB-23=035-11 CALLED X-31/ADHESION. I BOUGHT THE CAR THIS YEAR AND THE WINDOW IS LOOSE ON THE EDGES AND I AM AFRAID IT WILL FALL OUT AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I TOOK IT TO A DEALER AND THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO. THEY SAID BECAUSE IT WAS ALREADY FIXED IT WOULD PROBABLY NOT BE COVERED. IS THIS TRUE? I BOUGHT THIS CAR TO BE A DAILY DRIVER, NOT A SUNNY DAY DRIVER.

I AM ONE OF THOSE AFFECTED BY THE REAR WINDOW FALLING OUT OF THE CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE. AT FIRST THEY OFFERED TO GET ME A NEW TOP FOR $700. GOODWILL THEY SAID. I TOLD THEM I COULDN'T AFFORD IT. THEY WOUND UP RESENDING THE OFFER AND REFUSED TO HELP ME AT ALL. I TRY TO REGLUE THE WINDOW BUT IT FALLS OUT AGAIN. I AM IN NJ WHICH IS NOT ONE OF THE STATES THEY WERE HELPING PEOPLE IN. PLEASE HAVE CHRYSLER RECALL ALL CROSSFIRES FOR THIS KNOWN PROBLEM. THANKS.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE AND NOT LONG AFTER, THE REAR WINDOW OF THE CONVERTIBLE TOP CAME LOOSE. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER ABOUT THE ISSUE. I'VE BEEN VERBALLY TOLD THAT THERE WAS A REPLACEMENT NOTE THAT AFFECTED CHRYSLER CROSSFIRES FOR 9 STATES. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE ORIGINALLY SOLD IN ONE OF THESE 9 STATES. I CAN'T REMEMBER THE 9 SPECIFICALLY BUT...MY VEHICLE WAS ORIGINALLY SOLD IN KANSAS (WHICH IS NOT PART OF THE 9 STATES REPLACEMENT CLAUSE), I LIVE IN MO WHICH IS COVERED BY THE REPLACEMENT CLAUSE. THE LADY THAT I SPOKE TO SAID THAT IT WAS A HUMIDITY ISSUE THAT WOULD CAUSE THE WINDOW TO UNGLUE.... SO, I ARGUED THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOW REGISTERED IN A STATE THAT THEY CLAIMED HAS THE LEVEL OF HUMIDITY THAT WOULD CAUSE THE KNOWN ISSUE, BUT, SHE STAYED FIRM ON THE FACT THAT MY VEHICLE WAS ORIGINALLY SOLD IN KANSAS AND THAT STATE IS NOT PART OF THE REPLACEMENT DEAL../ WHAT ARE MY RIGHT AS A CONSUMER? I HAVE WATER GETTING IN MY TRUNK WHICH CAUSED MULTIPLE ELECTRICAL ISSUES. AND NOW, I'M STUCK WITH THE BILL OR KEEPING THE VEHICLE AS IS. THANK YOU CHRYSLER.

REAR WINDOW FELL OUT COMPLETELY IN THE MIDDLE OF A THUNDERSTORM WITH MY WIFE DRIVING. THE WINDOW HAPPENED TO FALL INSIDE THE VEHICLE BUT IT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT IF IT HAD FALLEN OUTSIDE THE CAR. SHE WAS LUCKY THAT THE WINDOW DID NOT FALL ON HER AND WE ONLY GOT WET.
NHTSA complaint #10639441 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
STRUCTURE
THE BACK WINDOW SEPARATED FROM THE TOP. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT CHRYSLER EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR THIS PROBLEM TO 10 YEARS 100000 MILES BUT NOT ON ALL OF THEM. MY CAR IS NOT COVERED. MAKES NO SENSE THAT SOME ARE AND SOME ARE NOT.

THIS SERVES AS AN ADDENDUM TO OUR (AND MANY OTHERS') COMPLAINTS. THE CHRYSLER TSB THAT YOU HAVE ON FILE, ONLY LISTS THE AFFECTED SYSTEMS AS "VISIBILITY", AND IT CALLS FOR REPAIR (?) WHEN IT ACTUALLY SPECIFIES REPLACEMENT AS THE ONLY RECOMMENDED REMEDY, AT A TYPICAL COST OF $2,500; TO BE PROVIDED OR REIMBURSED TO A SMALL SELECT GROUP OF OWNERS, EVEN THOUGH THIS FAILURE CONTINUES TO OCCUR NATIONWIDE. THIS IS ABSURD. WE SHOULD NOTE THAT THE TERM "STRUCTURE" AS AN "AFFECTED PART" NO LONGER APPEARS IN YOUR E-MAIL COMPLAINT FORM (WE WONDER WHY?) ALL MODERN CONVERTIBLE ROOF TOPS AND WINDOWS ARE INTENDED AND DESIGNED FOR SAFE, LONG TERM USE IN ANY EXPECTED DRIVING CONDITIONS, THUS THE USE OF DOT APPROVED SAFETY GLASS AND ELECTRONIC REAR WINDOW DEFROSTERS, ESPECIALLY WHEN CONDITIONS REQUIRE THE ROOF TOP TO BE IN THE "UP" POSITION. THE NEGATIVE RESULTS OF ANY WINDOW DETACHMENT, VISIBILITY, STABILITY OF THE VEHICLE, SAFE REACTION BY THE DRIVER, WEATHER PROTECTION, ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION ETC., BOTH IMMEDIATE AND POTENTIAL LONG TERM, IN A CASE WHERE THE VEHICLE MUST STILL BE DRIVEN ANY UNKNOWN DISTANCE UNPROTECTED FROM WHATEVER CONDITIONS POSSIBLE, MAY WELL PROVE CATASTROPHIC AND MUST BE CONSIDERED COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE BY ANY STANDARD, ESPECIALLY THAT OF OUR U.S. GOVERNMENT. YOUR PUBLICATION (DOT HS 808 795) STATES: "SIMILARLY A PERSON MAY.. PETITION (REQUEST) NHTSA TO HOLD A HEARING ON WHETHER A MANUFACTURER HAS REASONABLY MET ITS OBLIGATION TO NOTIFY AND/OR REMEDY A SAFETY DEFECT OR NONCOMPLIANCE WITH A FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD. IF THE PETITION IS GRANTED, A HEARING IS HELD TO ASSESS THE MATTER AND DECIDE WHAT CORRECTIVE ACTION SHOULD BE TAKEN. IF THE PETITION (REQUEST) IS DENIED, THE REASONS FOR THE DENIAL ARE PUBLISHED IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER". AT THE VERY MINIMUM, CHRYSLER HAD AN OBLIGATION TO NOTIFY ALL OF THE POTENTIAL (& INEVITABLE) FAILURE! PLEASE HELP.

STRUCTURE:BODY
THE REAR WINDOW CAME UNGLUED FROM THE CONVERTIBLE TOP WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. IF THE DEFROSTER CABLE HAD NOT HELD THE WINDOW WOULD HAVE FLOWN OUT, AND COULD HAVE SERIOUSLY HARMED OTHER MOTORISTS. CHRYSLER KNOWS OF THIS ISSUE AND HAS ISSUED TSB 23-035-11 WHICH ACKNOWLEDGES THE DEFECT AND WILL REPAIR IT, BUT ONLY FOR CARS SENT TO CERTAIN DEALERSHIPS. THIS SHOULD BE FIXED ON ALL 2005 CROSSFIRES. THE VEHICLE IS NOW UNDRIVEABLE AND HAS TO HAVE THE ENTIRE TOP REPLACED.

THE 2005 (ONLY) CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLE HAS A FAULTY SEAL BONDING THE BACKGLASS TO THE TOP CAUSING IT TO BECOME DISLODGED FROM THE TOP TRAVELING OR PARKED. CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE DEFECT CALLING IT A "TRIM" PIECE. A VEHICLE TRAVELING ON THE EXPRESSWAY OR HIGHWAY LOSING ITS' BACKGLASS IS NOT A TRIM BUT A DANGEROUS DEFECT THAT MUST BE RECALLED. MODELS AFTER 2005 HAD THIS DEFECT CORRECTED.

THE REAR WINDOW IN MY 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE ROADSTER BECAME UNGLUED AND WILL NOT STAY IN PLACE; THIS MAKES THE CAR UNSAFE TO DRIVE, AS THE WINDOW MAY COME OUT AT ANY TIME, STRING SOMEONE OR CAUSING AN ACCIDENT.

THIS IS A KNOWN MANUFACTURING DEFECT, HAVING AFFECTED DOZENS OF THESE CARS, AS WELL AS OTHER CHRYSLER CONVERTIBLES PRODUCED DURING THAT TIME.

STRUCTURE:BODY
THE REAR ADHESIVE ON MY 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE ROADSTERS REAR WINDOW, THAT HOLDS IT TO THE SOFT TOP CONVERTIBLE, HAS BEGUN TO DETACH. I HAVE CALLED CHRYSLER ABOUT THE ISSUE AND THEY EXPLAINED THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY AND THEY WILL NOT ASSIST. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME BECAUSE THE WINDOW COULD DETACH WHILE DRIVING AND POSSIBLY CAUSE HARM AND/OR DEATH TO OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROADWAY. I FOUND A SERVICE BULLETIN ON THE ISSUE WITH A BULLETIN # SB-23035-11REVA THAT RECOMMENDS THAT THE CONVERTIBLE TOP BE INSPECTED AND/OR REPLACED IF DEFECTIVE. CHRYSLER IS NOT HELPING AT ALL WITH THIS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE TO HELP ME FIX IT AND MAKE MY VEHICLE SAFE FOR MYSELF, AND THE OTHERS AROUND ME. I AM A MEMBER OF CROSSFIREFORUM.ORG AND THERE ARE MANY OTHER PEOPLE WITH THIS ISSUE THAT HAVE EITHER GOTTEN IT REPLACED BY CHRYSLER FOR FREE, OR PAID A CO-PAY TO HELP THEM FIX THE PROBLEM, BUT I WAS OFFERED NEITHER FOR THIS EXTREMELY UNSAFE ISSUE MY VEHICLE HAS.

THIS HAS A KNOW PROBLEM BY CHRYSLER AND THEY HAVE A SERVICE BULLETIN ON (23-035-11) ON CARS SENT TO CERTAIN SOUTHERN STATES BUT MINE WAS FROM VIRGINIA AND THE ARE SAYING IT IS NOT COVERED. THIS APPEARS TO HAPPEN ON ALL CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLES ,THERE IS A GLUE DEFECT ON ALL THESE CROSSFIRES AND THE HEAT FROM THE SOUTHERN STATES EXPEDITES THE DELAMINATION. IT GETS JUST AS HOT IN VIRGINIA. IF A CAR WAS SHIPPED TO NORTH CAROLINA FOR A DAY THEN DRIVEN ELSE WERE IT WOULD BE COVERED, THEY RECALL MAKES KNOW SENSE. THIS IS A KNOW DEFECT BY CHRYSLER ON ALL THE 2005 CONVERTIBLES, THEY WERE ALL MADE IN THE SAME PLACE. THIS IS A DANGEROUS CONDITION TO EVERYONE AND CHRYSLER NEEDS TO REPLACE ALL THESE TOPS ON THE 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLES AND/OR EXTEND THE RECALL/BULLETIN TO ALL THE 2005 CHRYSLER CONVERTIBLES BEFORE SOMEONE GETS UNNECESSARILY KILLED.

PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN APRIL OF THIS YEAR, FROM A CHRYSLER DEALER. IT CAME WITH A PLASTIC WINDOW, WHICH I FOUND OUT, IS NOT FACTORY/STANDARD. THE DEALER REFUSED TO TAKE CARE OF IT. FOUND OUT ABOUT THE X31 AND SB-23035-11REVA BULLETIN, CONTACTED CHRYSLER ABOUT IT, GOT TURNED DOWN BECAUSE WE ARE THE 4TH OWNERS OF THE CAR, AND IT WAS 3,000 OVER THE 100K MILE LIMIT. I WROTE SERGIO MARCHIONNE, THE CEO OF CHRYSLER, GOT A REVIEW, BUT WAS TURNED DOWN AGAIN. TOLD THAT IT "WOULD NOT MAKE GOOD BUSINESS SENSE" TO FIX MY CAR! WHAT!!? THE PROBLEM IS WIDESPREAD, AND SINCE CHRYSLER HAS OWNED UP, THEY SHOULD CONTINUE TO BE A GOOD MANUFACTURER, AND TAKE CARE OF THEIR CUSTOMERS, ORIGINAL OR NOT. THE CONDITION IS DANGEROUS.
