The letter says how bad. This says what kind — whether this year drew an unusual number of complaints, unusually dangerous ones, or failures that arrived unusually early.

NHTSA files every complaint against a named sub-assembly, not just a system. This is the difference between knowing it was "the engine" and knowing which part of it — the list to hand a mechanic.
Odometer readings owners gave when they filed. About half of all complaints include one.
A spike years after the car went on sale usually means a part wearing out on schedule across the whole fleet — the kind of pattern no single owner can see from inside their own car.
In the owners' own words, exactly as filed with NHTSA.

THE REAR GLASS WINDOW FALLS OUT OF THE CONVERTIBLE ROOF AND INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. THIS IS CHRONIC WITH MOST CROSSFIRE ROADSTERS. EASILY INVESTIGATED AND VERIFIED. IT CAN HAPPEN WHILE MOVING OR STANDING STILL.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
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.

STRUCTURE:BODY
THE BACK WINDOW OF THE CROSSFIRE HAS SEPARATED FROM THE TOP. WE SAW THIS WHILE WE WERE WALKING AROUND IT IN GARAGE. I HAVE CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAY THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. WE BOUGHT THIS CAR IN 2008 AND IS KEPT IN A GARAGE. I ONLY HAVE 53000 MILES ON IT. I KNOW THEY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE WINDOWS FALLING OUT BECAUSE THEY A FIXING THEM IN 2005 MODELS BUT NOT THE 2006 MODELS. IS THERE ANY THING I CAN DO BECAUSE A REPLACEMENT TOP IS VERY EXPENSIVE. WE HAVE HAD THE WINDOW RESEALED TWICE AND IT WILL NOT HOLD.

THE VEHICLE'S REAR WINDOW IS SEPARATING FROM THE CONVERTIBLE TOP AND I AM AFRAID THAT IT WILL FLY OFF WHILE I'M DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND KILL SOMEONE BEHIND ME. I NOTICED THE ISSUE WHILE IT WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. CHRYSLER IS WELL AWARE OF THIS ISSUE WITH THE 2005 MODELS AND IS NOT COVERING ANY REPAIR OF ANY OTHER YEARS, YET HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WITH CARS FROM EACH YEAR HAVE COMPLAINTS ON MANY INTERNET FORUMS.

BACK WINDOW FELL OFF THE CONVERTIBLE TOP. I SEE THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE WITH 2005 (WHICH WAS REPAIRED/RECALL BY THE MFG). DEALER SAID IT WAS UP TO ME TO REPAIR, HAD TO SHIP THE TOP TO CALIFORNIA FOR A COMPLETE NEW TOP (~ $3K). I LIVE IN FLORIDA. DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW A BACK WINDOW FALLING OFF A MOVING CAR IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. ONLY ~ 22K MILES.

I OWN A 2006 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE. MY BACK WINDOW IS FALLING OUT AND IT SEEMS THAT CHRYSLER DOES NOT WANT TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THE FAULTY ADHESIVE AND FAULTY WORKMANSHIP OF THE CONVERTIBLE TOP. I CANNOT DRIVE MY CAR BECAUSE THE GLASS WILL COME OUT AND RESULT IN HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE, PEDESTRIAN OR OTHER OBJECT. THIS PROBLEM HAS LEFT THOUSANDS OF CROSSFIRE OWNERS IN A BAD SITUATION. CHRYSLER DID ISSUE A RECALL ON THE 2005'S UNDER TSB 23-035-11REVA BUT NOT FOR ANY OTHER MODEL YEARS. STATE FARM INSURANCE INFORMED ME THE SAME TOP/MANUFACTURER/ADHESIVE IS USED ON ALL CROSSFIRE MODEL YEARS THEREFORE IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER AN INSURANCE CLAIM. I'VE DRIVEN MY CAR 3 TIMES SINCE NOTICING THE WINDOW AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUES TO GET WORSE; BECOMING MORE AND MORE OF A SAFETY ISSUE. I WANT TO KNOW WHEN CHRYSLER WILL BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF ALL OF THE FAULTY EQUIPMENT THEY MARKETED AND SOLD TO TRUSTING CONSUMER. I AM ASKING THE NHTSA TO FORCE THE RECALL ON ALL CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLE TOPS, NO MATTER WHAT YEAR THEY WERE MANUFACTURED OR WHERE THEY SHIPPED. FAULTY EQUIPMENT IS FAULTY EQUIPMENT AND THE PROBLEM NEEDS TO RECTIFIED BY THE MANUFACTURER. I AM ASKING FOR THE HELP FROM THE NHTSA - THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS - THIS IS OBVIOUSLY NOT AN ISOLATED CASE. UNTIL THEN, MY CAR IS NOT ABLE TO BE DRIVEN.

WINDOW GLASS IS SEPARATING FROM THE FABRIC CONVERTIBLE TOP. I NOTED THIS LAST MONTH WITH THE CAR SITTING AT MY HOUSE. THIS CAR IS ALWAYS GARAGED AND HAS ONLY AROUND 73K MILES, ONE OWNER. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THE REAR WINDOW IS HEAT SEALED TO THE COVER. ONLY THE TOP PORTION REMAINS SEALED, THE SIDES AND BOTTOM HAVE SEPARATED. I HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH A CHRYSLER CASE WORKER FOR A MONTH TRYING TO GET THE COMPANY TO REPAIR OR REPLACE THE TOP BUT ONLY GET EMAILS ABOUT ONCE A WEEK REQUESTING THE SAME INFORMATION I HAVE ALREADY PROVIDED. I HAVE BEEN TOLD MY LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IS NO LONGER A "QUALIFIED DEALERSHIP" WITH NO FURTHER EXPLANATION. I HAVE ASKED FOR A PERSONAL PHONE CALL BUT TO NO AVAIL AT THIS POINT. THIS IS A DEFINITE SAFETY HAZARD AND I WANT THE COMPANY TO STEP UP AND FIX IT.
