DURING A SEVERE RAINSTORM THE REAR WINDOW GLASS DETACHED FROM THE CONVERTIBLE TOP ALLOWING SEVERE FLOODING OF THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE CAUSING VARIOUS ELECTRICAL FAILURES TO OCCUR. THIS SUDDEN AND UNEXPECTED EVENT CAUSED AN EMERGENCY STOP IN TRAFFIC THAT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT. THE RESIDUAL DAMAGE FROM THIS EVENT AFFECTS REAR WINDOW VISIBILITY AND ELECTRICAL FAILURES THAT INVOLVE THE OPERATION OF THE LOCKING SYSTEM, THE ANTI FOG REAR WINDOW CAPABILITY AND OTHER ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS IN THE REAR PART OF THE VEHICLE WHICH I CANNOT ACCESS BECAUSE OF THE INOPERATIVE TOP AND TRUNK.

AS I WAS LEAVING WORK I NOTED A LOUD RATTLE BEHIND MY HEAD. I STOPPED TO SEE WHAT WAS CAUSING IT. THE BOTTOM OF THE BACK WINDOW HAD SEPARATED FROM THE CONVERTIBLE TOP AND WAS RATTLING AGAINST THE BODY OF THE CAR. BY THE TIME I HAD DRIVEN THE 4 MILES HOME, THE SEPARATION HAD SPREAD TO NEARLY HALF OF THE WINDOW.

ORIGINAL OWNER CAR, LIMITED USE, GARAGE KEPT IN CALIFORNIA (STATE OF PURCHASE). NOTICED THAT REAR WINDOW IN CONVERTIBLE TOP IS STARTING TO DETACH ON ONE SIDE. I'M AWARE THAT CHRYSLER HAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR CARS PURCHASED IN CERTAIN "HIGH HUMIDITY" STATES, BUT CALIFORNIA IS OUTSIDE THAT COVERAGE AND SO AM NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THE WARRANTY REPAIR, YET I HAVE THE EXACT SAME ISSUE.

I HAVE A TWO 2005 CROSSFIRE SRT6 ROADSTER THAT THE REAR WINDOWS HAVE DETACHED FROM THE CANVAS AND FALLEN OUT. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME IT HAS OCCURRED ON BOTH VEHICLES. THE 1ST TWO TIMES THE DEALER/CHRYSLER REPLACED THE TOP WITH A DEDUCTIBLE PAYMENT.OF $200. THURSDAY, 5/14/2015 THE WINDOW CAME APART FROM THE CANVAS (3RD TIME ) THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM IN THE CROSSFIRE COMMUNITY. IT IS A POTENTIAL HAZARD IF THE WINDOW FLIES OUT WHEN THE CAR IS MOVING. I AM IN CURRENT CONTACT WITH CHRYSLER AS THE INITIAL DATE OF SERVICE WAS 04/15/2005. THEREFORE THE VEHICLE IS 1 MONTH OUT OF THE 10 YEAR/100K REPLACEMENT BY 1 MONTH.UNDER THE TPA CHRYSLER IMPOSED AND GUARANTEED FOR ONLY SPECIFIC STATES. (WARM WEATHER STATES)

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.

THE REAR GLASS WINDOW ON THE CONVERTIBLE TOP CAME LOOSE ON ONE SIDE AND IS COMING LOOSE ACROSS THE TOP. I HAVE DISCOVERED SINCE THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED THAT CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND IS REFUSING TO ISSUE A RECALL INORDER TO FIX THE DEFECT. MY VEHICLE HAS ALWAYS BEEN GARAGE KEPT, AND THE TOP IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.

THE BACK GLASS ADHESIVE ON THE CONVERTIBLE SOFT TOP ON MY 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE ROADSTER IS FAILING ON THE DRIVERS SIDE ALMOST 3 INCHES ACROSS TOP AND BOTTOM, CAUSING THE GLASS TO SEPARATE FROM THE FABRIC TOP. THIS ADHESIVE IS THE ONLY SUPPORT FOR THE WINDOW TO THE FABRIC TOP. THE WINDOW/TOP CONNECTION CURRENTLY DOES NOT PROVIDE A WATERPROOF SEAL AND ALLOWS WATER TO ENTER THE VEHICLE. THIS PRESENTS A SAFETY HAZARD WHEN THE ADHESIVE FAILS COMPLETELY AND THE GLASS FALLS OUT ON A ROADWAY OR TURNS INTO A PROJECTILE INSIDE THE CAR WHILE DRIVING. VERY COSTLY TO THE CONSUMER TO REPAIR SHOULD BE RECALLED AS IT LOOKS LIKE THERE ARE MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM.
