June 6th 2024, I got into my 2095 Chrysler crossfire and started driving hearing a rattling sound I pulled over and looked in back of my car to see the back window separated away from the soft top and was openly hanging, I had to get home from where I was at so I took back roads all way home and pulled over everytime a car got behind me. Also in past month my car sometimes starts right up and other time it won’t come on. Hubby says it’s an electrical issue. My car died on me as I pulled onto a hiway luckily I was able to pull off to the side of the road. I’ve seen several electrical issues reported on a car forum for these cars, also window separation. I have pics if needed.
NHTSA complaint #11593294 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
While cruising at 55 miles per hour, an unexpected occurrence took place – the engine abruptly ceased to function. I found myself on a two-lane highway in the midst of a construction zone, where the highway was reduced to a single lane, flanked by barriers. In a situation devoid of power assistance, I navigated the immobile vehicle between these barriers to reach a secure location, narrowly evading a potential accident.This issue is perilous and disturbingly common among these vehicles, yet it lacks a definitive diagnosis or solution. Even the computer scans fail to pinpoint the root cause behind this disruptive problem. I had no choice but to have the vehicle towed, and an automotive technician subsequently replaced the crank position sensor, just one of the many potential culprits in this recurring issue. Remarkably, the car operated without issue for two months, only to once again shut down without warning at high speed. Then, quite unexpectedly, approximately ten minutes later, the car miraculously restarted. This issue is perilous and disturbingly common among these vehicles, yet it lacks a definitive diagnosis or solution. It is imperative to stress that this problem is widely recognized and acknowledged, with countless owners repeatedly seeking assistance from dealerships, yet the issue remains unresolved. The gravity of this situation cannot be overstated, as these vehicles are prone to sudden shutdowns while traveling at high speeds. Urgent attention and action are needed to investigate and rectify this life-threatening concern.

Back window glass of the soft top, became unglued and is leaking into the vehicle when it rains. Seems like a fault to me as the top itself is still in great condition.
NHTSA complaint #11532873 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
My car has 47,800 miles on it and is a convertible. Its a known problem among crossfire owners and it hasn't been resolved. The problem is the rear window is coming undone and just falls out. The dealerships won't fix it and auto repair shops want thousands of dollars. It's not only a quality issue but a HUGE safety issue as well. If that window was to fall while someone is driving the car it could injure them while they are driving or possibly fall onto the road and causing countless problems and injuries to the other motorists driving behind the car. Its not an issue of the owner of the car being negligent or miss using the vehicle, its a quality and safety issue.

CONVERTIBLE TOP REAR WINDOW SEPARATED FROM THE TOP. CALLED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE. NOTHING THEY COULD DO. NO WARRANTY. NO RECALL. IN MOTION WHEN SEPARATED ON RURAL ROAD.
NHTSA complaint #11330323 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
THE REAR WINDOW OF THE VEHICLE CAME UNGLUED WHILE DRIVING AND CREATED A MASSIVE DISTURBANCE IN THE VEHICLE. HAD I BEEN ON A HIGHWAY THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN POSSIBLY CATASTROPHIC CONSEQUENCES AND I FEAR FOR THOSE DRIVERS WHO MAY HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS IN THE FUTURE. CHRYSLER MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS BEYOND THE STATES THAT THEY HAVE ALREADY EXTENDED WARRANTIES TO ON VEHICLES WHO HAVE HAD THESE SAME ISSUES. MY VEHICLE WAS SHIPPED TO NEVADA - ALSO A WARM WEATHER STATE, YET NOT PART OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY? THIS MAKES ZERO SENSE. FIX THE ISSUE CHRYSLER - SHAMEFUL BEHAVIOR, TRULY. I AM CURRENTLY HAVING ESTIMATES DONE TO SEE WHAT THE REPAIRS WILL COST AND HEARING THAT THIS WILL BE IN THE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR SOMETHING THAT IS A FAULTY BUILD. THERE ARE LITERALLY DOZENS OF FORUMS WITH CHRYSLER DRIVERS TALKING ABOUT THIS VERY SAME, VERY SCARY ISSUE. COME ON CHRYSLER, BE ACCOUNTABLE.

THE HEADLINER ON THE ROOF IN MY 2008 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE HAS DETACHED COMPLETELY EXCEPT FOR THE SIDE AND REAR COMPARTMENT UPPER EDGES AND HAS SUNKEN/FALLEN IN FRONT OF ME AND MY PASSENGERS FIELD OF VIEW COVERING OUR EYES AND RESTING ON OUR HEADS PLUS BLOCKING MY DRIVERS REAR VIEW MIRROR TO THE BACK WINDOW FIELD OF VIEW AS WELL. THIS IS CERTAINLY A SAFETY HAZARD AND APPARENTLY CAUSED FROM A POOR QUALITY APPLICATION OF HEADLINER GLUE/DECOMPOSING FABRIC. THIS CAR IS KEPT IN PRISTINE SHAPE AND COVERED ALMOST CONTINUOUSLY. THERE HAVE BEEN NO EXTERNAL FORCES, MISTREATMENT, NOR CHEMICAL APPLICATIONS CAUSING THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM. IT OCCURRED WHILE IT WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY, NOT ON THE PUBLIC STREET DURING A TWO-WEEK PERIOD OF NON-USE. I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE IT AT THIS TIME.

MY IGNITION IS STICKING IN MY 2004 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM? WHY SHOULD I PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED WHEN IT'S A MANUFACTURING ISSUE ?
NHTSA complaint #11047002 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
I OWN A 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE. IT IS A CONVERTIBLE. THE REAR WINDOW HAS BECOME UNGLUED CAUSING POSSIBLE SERIOUS INJURY, HAD IT COME TOTALLY UNGLUED IT COULD HAVE CREATED A SERIOUS INJURY SIMILAR TO WHAT SNOW COULD DO IF NOT CLEANED OFF BEFORE LEAVING FOR A TRIP IN YOUR CAR. I HAVE NOTIFIED CHRYSLER AND THEY WILL TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY IN THE REPAIR. THEIR REPLY, THE WARRANTY IS EXPIRED! I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY THIS ISSUE IS NOT BEING TAKEN MORE SERIOUSLY? THERE HAVE BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS FILED WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. A REAR WINDOW THAT COULD BE RELEASED INTO THE REAR OF A HIGHWAY OR FOR THAT MATTER ANY ROAD COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY TO THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE OR OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. I HOPE THIS MATTER IS TAKEN SERIOUS AND SOMEONE FOLLOWS UP WITH AN ALTERNATIVE FOR A VEHICLE THAT HAS BEEN ASSEMBLED WITH FAULTY GLUE OR POOR DESIGN! P.S. THIS WINDOW BECAME LOOSE WHEN MY WIFE HAD NOTICED IT WAS STARTING TO BECOME LOOSE WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY DOING ABOUT 60 MPH. SHE THEN HAD TO APPLY HER BRAKES AND REMAIN AT A SLOW SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY WHICH IS A DANGER IN IT SELF.
