2005 Chrysler Crossfire Convertible complaints

I GET OFF WORK, GO TO CAR TO GO HOME, BACK WINDOW LAYING DOWN INTO THE CAR. CHRYSLER AND MY INSURANCE COMPANY REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING. PEOPLE PAY $26,000/30,000 FOR A VEHICLE AND THEN HAVE TO PAY ANOTHER $2000 TO REPAIR WHAT CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF AND RESPONSIBLE FOR. I'VE READ MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS WITH NO SOLUTIONS. SOMETHING IS TERRIBLY WRONG WITH THIS. SOMEBODY SHOULD BE ABLE TO FORCE CHRYSLER TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. "WHAT IF" WINDOW HAD BLOWN OUT WHILE DRIVING CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO PERSONS BEHIND VEHICLE.

REAR WINDOW HAS COME UNGLUED FROM THE CONVERTIBLE TOP CAUSING THE REAR WINDOW TO SEPARATE FROM THE TOP.

THE BACK WINDOW BECAME UNGLUED FROM THE TOP.THE CAR CANNOT BE DRIVEN BECAUSE IT CAN FLY OUT AND HURT SOMEONE. I SAW THERE IS A RECALL ON CERTAIN VIN NUMBERS.

REAR WINDOW FELL OUT. CAR WAS SITTING AT WORK ALL DAY. I'M WALKING TO CAR TO LEAVE WORK AND SEE THE BACK GLASS LAYING DOWN IN THE BACK. GLUE HAD COME LOOSE. CHRYSLER REFUSES TO REPAIR, THOUGH THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM. MY INSURANCE REFUSE TO REPAIR BECAUSE IT IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT.

THE GLASS REAR WINDOW HAS COME UNGLUED FROM THE CONVERTIBLE TOP. CHRYSLER WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THIS DEFECT EVEN THOUGH IT IS WIDELY REPORTED, UNLESS THE VEHICLE WAS SOLD IN ONE OF 7 SOUTHERN STATES. OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A DEFECTIVE GLUE PROBLEM AND THEY SHOULD STAND BEHIND IT. OWNERS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND ALTHOUGH IT MIGHT BE MORE PREVALENT IN THE SOUTH, IT STILL HAPPENS ON NORTHERN CARS. CHRYSLER, STOP THIS RIDICULOUS PETTINESS AND FIX THESE CARS!

MY CAR IS GARAGE KEPT. I WENT TO VISIT A FAMILY MEMBER AND THE NEXT MORNING WALKED OUTSIDE, GOT IN MY CAR, STARTED TO DRIVE OFF ABOUT 0.1 MILE AWAY NOTICED MY BACK WINDOW SHAKING. I LOOKED BACK AND NOTICED MY BACK WINDOW HAD BECOME UNGLUED ON THE LEFT SIDE, RIGHT SIDE AND BOTTOM. IT WAS STILL HANGING ON AT THE TOP BY ONLY A LITTLE GLUE. I AM BLESSED THAT I WAS NOT DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY OR AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED AND THE WINDOW BECOME TOTALLY UNGLUED. I HAD TO PLACE TOWELS IN THE WINDOW TO GET THE WINDOW TO SIT UP IN ORDER FOR ME TO DRIVE ONE HOUR HOME. I AM NOT ABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR BECAUSE OF THIS AND CALLED FOUR DEALERSHIPS AND TWO UPHOLSTERY PLACES TO FIND OUT IF THEY CAN REPAIR THIS AND IF IS UNDER WARRANTY. TWO UPHOLSTERY PLACES GOT BACK TO ME, ONE QUOTED $120 FOR A TEMP FIX THAT HE CANNOT GUARANTEE WILL LAST OR REPLACING THE WHOLE ROOF FOR ABOUT $1800-$1900. ANOTHER UPHOLSTERY PLACE GOT BACK TO ME, $395-$500 FOR A TEMP FIX NOT GUARANTEEING IT AND IF IT DOES NOT HOLD UP HE WOULD CREDIT ME 80% OF WHAT I PAID TOWARDS HIM REPLACING MY ROOF FOR $2,400-$2,500. ONE DEALERSHIP GOT BACK TO ME AND KNOWS ABOUT THE ISSUE, LOOKED UP MY VIN AND MY CAR WAS NOT MADE IN A STATE THAT CHRYSLER COVERED UNDER THE SERVICE BULLETIN AND RECOMMENDS REPLACING IT WITH THE PART THAT CHRYSLER ASSIGNED TO THE SERVICE BULLETIN SO IT WOULD COST LESS, PRICE QUOTE $1,750. I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED THAT CHRYSLER WOULD NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR CARS AND RECALL OR FIX THE ISSUE WITH ALL CARS THAT HAVE THIS

THE REAR WINDOW SEPARATED FROM THE CONVERTIBLE TOP WHILE I HAD THE CAR PARKED OUTDOORS. I FOUND THE CAR WITH THE REAR WINDOW AREA OPEN AND THE GLASS LYING ON THE INTERIOR OF THE BACKLIGHT AREA. THE GLASS REMAINED CONNECTED TO THE TOP BY ABOUT 1/3 OF THE ORIGINAL GLUE. THE REMAINDER HAD COME APART FROM THE GLUE LEAVING THE GLASS MOSTLY DETACHED.

2 WEEKS AGO WHEN I WENT TO DRIVE MY CAR I NOTICED THAT THE REAR WINDOW SEPARATED FROM THE ROOF. I PROCEEDED TO DEPARTED OVER THE NEXT DAY. I TRIED TO REATTACH WITH AN ADHESIVE BUT IT IS FALLING. I FOUND ON LINE THAT THE COMPANY HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THIS PROBLEM, I DID CONTACT CHRYSLER BUT THE COMPANY STATED THAT MY VIN DID NOT MATCH THE COVERED VEHICLES. ONLINE I FOUND THAT THIS CONTINUES TO BE AN ISSUE WITH OTHER UNCOVERED CARS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE PARKED, THE WINDOW REAR GLASS SEPARATED AND DETACHED FROM THE FABRIC CONVERTIBLE TOP. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 27,700.

THE BACK WINDOW IN MY 2005 CROSSFIRE CAME UNGLUED AND NEARLY FELL IN WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I HAD TO GET OFF THE ROAD AND FOUND A WAY TO GET HOME WITH IT BARELY HANGING ON. I CALLED MY DEALERSHIP AND CHRYSLER ONLY TO LEARN THAT THEY HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON 2005 CROSSFIRE TOPS BUT BECAUSE MY CAR WAS NOT SOLD IN ONE OF THE NINE SOUTHERN STATES THEY WOULD NOT HELP ME. I WAS ABLE TO FIND SOMEONE TO RE-ATTACH THE WIDOW ON A TEMPORARY BASIS BUT IT KEEPS COMING UNGLUED. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THE ONLY PERMANENT SOLUTION IS TO GET A NEW TOP. I'VE SPENT 2 YEARS LIMPING ALONG WITH MAKE DUE REMEDIES. PLEASE HELP US.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR GLASS SEPARATED FROM THE CONVERTIBLE CANVAS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,800.

WENT TO PUT THE TOP UP AND NOTICED THAT THE SEAL AROUND THE REAR WINDOW OF CONVERTIBLE IS PULLING AWAY.

ATTENTION: JOHN ABBOTT I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS CAR. THERE IS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY UNDER A TSB ISSUED BY CHRYSLER CALLED X31. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, X31 SAYS THAT 2005 CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLES THAT ARE UNDER 10 YEARS OLD AND UNDER 100,000 AND DELIVERED IN ANY OF 9 STATES ARE COVERED BY X31. MY CAR WAS BOUGHT IN DALLAS (ONE OF THE 9 INCLUDED STATES) IN JULY 2005 (UNDER 10 YEARS OLD) AND HAS UNDER 31,000 MILES. THE CAR HAS ALWAYS BEEN GARAGE KEPT. WHEN WE PURCHASED THE CAR THE DEALERSHIP LOOKED NATIONWIDE FOR THE CAR WITH EXACTLY WHAT WE WANTED AND FOUND ONE IN WISCONSIN. THE DEALER IN DALLAS, BOUGHT AND SHIPPED THE CAR TO PRESTON CHRYSLER, WHERE I PURCHASED IT. CHRYSLER SAYS THE CAR WAS DELIVERED TO WISCONSIN AND THEREFORE IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. EVEN IF THE CAR WAS ORIGINALLY DELIVERED TO A DEALER IN WISCONSIN, IT WAS PURCHASED, NEW, IN TEXAS. I UNDERSTAND CHRYSLER NOT HAVING THIS CAR ON THEIR RECALL LIST, BUT I DON'T BELIEVE IT SHOULD TAKE THAT MUCH EFFORT FOR THEM TO REALIZED THAT THE CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW IN TEXAS AND INCLUDE THIS VIN IN THE WARRANTY. CHRYSLER HAS AGREED TO OPEN A CASE AND I TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP TODAY. I AM DETERMINED TO GET THIS RESOLVED IN MY FAVOR. CHRYSLER HAS NOT SAID THEY WOULDN'T FIX IT, BUT IS TALKING ABOUT DEDUCTIBLES OR OUTRIGHT COST TO ME. THOUSANDS OF THESE TOPS HAVE FAILED AND HUNDREDS WERE FIXED FOR FREE. I BELIEVE MY CAR FITS INTO BOTH CATEGORIES...UPDATED 08/26/15 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AT THE MANUFACTURER'

AS MANY 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLE TOPS , THE REAR WINDOW GLASS IS SEPARATING FROM THE CONVERTIBLE FABRIC. THE ADHESIVE HAS TO BE DEFECTIVE ON ALL TOPS...NOW PEOPLE ARE SAYING THAT 2008 ARE SEPARATING ALSO....THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE SOME WINDOWS HAVE DETACHED DRIVING. CHRYSLER DID RECALL TOPS FOR SOME CARS,BUT ONLY IN A FEW STATES IT IS HAPPENING MORE THEN THEY HAVE MADE IT OUT TO BE. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS AS THAT WAS NOT A FAIR ASSESSMENT TO ONLY A FEW CARS WHEN ALL 2005 HAVE THIS PROBLEM... !..UPDATED 08/13/15 *BF

REAR WINDOW OF 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLE FELL OUT OF TOP. GARAGE KEPT VEHICLE WITH 22,000 MILES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLE. WHILE DRIVING AT 50 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD A CLICKING SOUND AND NOTICED THAT THE REAR GLASS WINDOW SEPARATED FROM THE CONVERTIBLE TOP. THE FAILURE COULD EVENTUALLY CAUSE THE TOP TO DETACH COMPLETELY AS THE GLASS CONTINUED TO STRIKE THE ROLL BAR OF THE DRIVER SEAT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,000.

THE REAR WINDOW SEPARATED FROM THE CANVAS TOP.

REAR WINDOW IS DETACHING FROM TOP.

THE GLASS REAR WINDOW IN MY LOW MILEAGE PAMPERED CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE ROADSTER SIMPLY FELL OUT. THE BONDING ADHESIVE USED TO SEAL THE WINDOW IN PLACE FAILED WITHOUT ADVANCE SYMPTOMS OR WARNING. *TR

WENT OUT TO MY CAR AND FOUND THE REAR WINDOW GLASS HAD FALLEN OUT. BONDING ADHESIVE FAILURE. CHRYSLER HAD AN ILLOGICAL AND ARBITRARY TSB SET UP TO REPLACE THE CONVERTIBLE TOPS WITH REAR WINDOW ADHESIVE FAILURE BUT IT ONLY COVERED 2005 MODEL YEAR ROADSTERS AND A VERY LIMITED NUMBER OF CARS THAT WERE ORIGINALLY DELIVERED TO DEALERS IN A NINE SELECTED STATES. THE REALITY IS THAT ALL CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE ROADSTERS FROM 2005 TO 2008 MODEL YEARS WILL EVENTUALLY HAVE THEIR REAR WINDOW GLASS FALL OUT DUE TO THE FAILURE OF THE BONDING ADHESIVE. CHRYSLER'S "BAND AIDE" FIX WAS WOEFULLY INADEQUATE AND INEXPLICABLY LIMITED. *TR

BOUGHT A 2005 CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLE IN 2006. WAS "NEW" BUT DEALERSHIP PUT 3,000 MILES ON IT. SECURITY SYSTEM NEVER WORKED PROPERLY (CAR NOT RESPONDING TO PANIC BUTTON, SIREN DID NOT WORK). WAS TOLD BY DEALER SERVICE SECURITY DISABLES THE IGNITION, AND PANIC BUTTON NOT WORKING JUST WEAK BATTERY IN REMOTE (WHICH I DID NOT BELIEVE). JANUARY 2013, CAR IN GARAGE,15,000 MILES AND LOCKS WOULD NOT RESPOND TO REMOTE. UNLOCKED CAR WITH KEY. CAR WOULD NOT START, AND WAS DISABLED. HAD CAR TOWED TO DEALER. HAD $900 REPAIR FOR NEW ELECTRONIC ENTRY PART UNDER DASHBOARD. END OF SEPTEMBER 2014, CAR 17,000 MILES, LOCKS DID NOT RESPOND TO REMOTE. OPENED DOOR WITH KEY. SIREN WENT ON, AND IGNITION WAS DISABLED. CAR WOULD NOT START. HAD IT TOWED TO DEALERSHIP OCTOBER 7, 2014. CAR STILL AT DEALERSHIP. THEY BELIEVE IT IS ELECTRONIC PART IN TRUNK, CANNOT OPEN TRUNK. WILL COST $350 TO DISASSEMBLE ENOUGH TO GET INTO TRUNK TO CONFIRM THAT IS THE FAULTY PART. ALSO, TOLD ME THERE WAS WATER IN THE DASH BOARD, AND OTHER CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLE'S LEAK WATER INTO DASH AND INTO TRUNK CAUSING ELECTRONIC FAILURES. CAR WAS TOWED YESTERDAY AND WAS IN DEALERS LOT LAST NIGHT STRANDED FOR SEVERAL HOURS LAST NIGHT. I HAVE KEPT THE CAR IN GARAGE SINCE I BOUGHT IT, AND ONLY DROVE IT IN NICE WEATHER. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE FINAL COST WILL BE, BUT PROBLEM OF ELECTRICAL FAILURE SEEMS COMMON WITH 2005 CROSSFIRES FROM WHAT I HAVE READ. I NO LONGER TRUST THE CAR. I NEVER KNOW WHERE OR WHEN IT WILL STRAND ME. I PAID A LOT OF MON

I WAS STOPPED FOR TRAFFIC AND THE CAR JUST STALLED WITHOUT ANY WARNING. I HAD TO PUSH IT TO THE SIDE OF THE RODE AND WAIT 5-7 MINUTES BEFORE THE CAR WOULD START. I WENT TO THE CROSSFIREFORUM.ORG WEBSITE AND WITH FURTHER RESEARCH FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON DEFAULT WITH THIS CAR/ENGINE. THE CRANK SHAFT POSITION SENSOR APPARENTLY BECOMES DEFECTIVE, AFTER AWHILE, AND RANDOMLY MALFUNCTIONS CAUSING THE CAR ENGINE TO SHUT DOWN AT ANYTIME UNTIL IT RESETS ALLOWING THE ENGINE TO RE-START. I PURCHASED A REPLACEMENT SENSOR FROM AUTOZONE FOR $55.00, IT IS AN DURALAST #SU4740. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN DECEMBER OF 2008 WITH 28,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THIS SENSOR HAS MALFUNCTIONED. *TR

REAR WINDOW CAME OUT OF THE CONVERTIBLE TOP AFTER PURCHASING 1 MONTH EARLIER. SOUNDS LIKE THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM BUT THERE IS NOT A REGISTERED RECALL FOR IT. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT SHOULD BE FIXED. *TR

LITERALLY THE DAY AFTER THE RETURN PERIOD ON OUR 2005 CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLE WAS UP, WE FOUND OUT THAT THIS CAR HAS A MAJOR DEFECT WHERE THE BACK WINDOW FALLS OUT DUE TO FAILURE OF THE ADHESIVE. THIS ISSUE IS WIDESPREAD AND IS A REAL SAFETY HAZARD. APPARENTLY THE ENTIRE TOP TYPICALLY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED IF THIS HAPPENS, NOT JUST A RE-GLUE JOB. THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 17,000 MILES AND I'VE DRIVEN IT PROBABLY LESS THAN 50 MILES SINCE BUYING, YET NOW I AM FACED WITH A BIG REPAIR BILL TO MAKE THE CAR SAFE. CHRYSLER SHOULD COVER THIS TOP IN *ANY* CASE WHERE IT OCCURS (NOT JUST IN THE FEW SOUTHERN STATES THEY HAVE DEEMED APPLICABLE FOR COVERAGE). I AM IN VA, AND THAT'S WHERE THE CAR WAS ORIGINALLY DELIVERED. ANYBODY WHO SAYS VA DOESN'T HAVE HIGH HEAT AND HUMIDITY IS CRAZY. WE ARE JUST 75 MILES FROM NC, A COVERED STATE. THIS IS TERRIBLY UNFAIR AND I FEEL LIKE A SCHMUCK. CHRYSLER SHOULD BE FORCED TO RECALL ALL OF THESE TOPS, NOT PICK AND CHOOSE! HOW CAN A WINDOW FALLING OUT OF THE CAR NOT BE CONSIDERED A MAJOR VIOLATION BY CHRYSLER? CAN THE NTSB DO ANYTHING TO HELP? *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

MY 2005 CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLE WINDOW FELL OUT. I KEEP MY CAR IN THE GARAGE. *TR

2005 CHRYSLER CONVERTIBLE TOP RECALL. THE CAR WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. THE REAR GLASS WINDOW HAD SEPARATED FROM THE CONVERTIBLE TOP. I COULD NOT BELIEVE IT. I BOUGHT THIS CAR JUST TWO SHORT YEARS AGO WITH ONLY 12,000 MILES ON IT. A NEIGHBOR OF MINE HAS THE SAME VEHICLE AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF THESE I HAVE SINCE FOUND OUT. CHRYSLER HAD A RECALL ON THIS TOP AND THEY REPLACED HIS TOP FOR FREE AND GAVE HIM A LIFETIME WARRANTY ON IT. WHEN I CALLED THE CHRYSLER RECALL DEPARTMENT THEY SAID MY VIN# DID NOT QUALIFY FOR REPLACEMENT BECAUSE MY CAR WAS SHIPPED TO VIRGINIA AND NOT A SOUTHERN STATE. THAT IS PURE JUNK. A DEFECT IS A DEFECT NO MATTER WHERE THE CAR WAS ORIGINALLY SHIPPED TO. IF I HAD A BIRTH DEFECT WOULD IT MATTER WHAT STATE I WAS BORN IN WHERE THE DEFECT ORIGINATED? NO, SOMEONE OUT THERE WOULD CARE AND NOT DISCRIMINATE. GIVE ME A BREAK CHRYSLER. GIVE GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND DO THE RIGHT THING. I SENT A FEDEX LETTER TO TWO OF CHRYSLER'S ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICERS A WEEK AGO AND HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RESPONSE. I AM NOW GOING TO A LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER WHO IS GOING TO REPLACE IT WITH A DEALER TOP FOR $2500 WITH A VERY LIMITED WARRANTY. I CAN'T WAIT ANY LONGER TO REPLACE THIS TOP. THE DEALER IS BEING KIND AND GIVING ME A DISCOUNT BECAUSE THEY KNOW IT IS WRONG THAT THEIR COMPANY IS NOT REPLACING THIS DEFECTIVE TOP. THIS IS SO BAD. SUCH A BEAUTIFUL CAR. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE PARKED, THE REAR WINDOW BECAME COMPLETELY DETACHED FROM THE MOUNTING SURFACE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

REAR WINDOW CAME LOOSE WHILE THE TOP WAS BEING PUT DOWN. CALLED CHRYSLER, THEY SAID THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED. OTHERS ARE COVERED BUT NOT MINE. *TR

PULLED CAR OUT OF GARAGE TO TAKE ON DRIVE THE REAR WINDOW OF SOFT TOP FELL OUT. *TR

REAR WINDOW ADHESIVE FAILURE IN CONVERTIBLE TOP. CHRYSLER HAS ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLITIN # X31 WHICH COVERS COST OF REPAIRS BUT ONLY FOR CARS THAT WERE DELIVERED TO CERTAIN SOUTHERN STATES BUT, ALL 05 CROSSFIRES WERE BUILT IN THE SAME PLANT IN BELGIUM AND SHOULD BE COVERED. FAILURE OF ANY WINDOW IS NOT CONSIDERED NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. COVERING ONLY SOME VEHICLES IS UNFAIR BUSINESS PRACTICE. *JS

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE BACK WINDOW FELL INTO MY DRIVER SEAT. IT JUST POPPED OUT. I WAS VERY LUCKY NOT TO HAVE HAD AND ACCIDENT. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLE, THE KEY DOES NOT TURN. MY CAR DOES NOT TURN ON. THE STEERING WHEEL IS LOCKED. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY BIG ISSUE AS I FOUND POSTING FROM OTHER PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET WITH THE SAME ISSUE. ALL THE POSTING STATES THAT THE IGNITION GOES BAD WITHOUT ANY WARNING. CHRYSLER IS NOT ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE. I THINK THE IGNITION SWITCH NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING ACROSS A BRIDGE ON THE INTER COASTAL WATERWAY IN MELBOURNE FLORIDA, THE TOP PIECE OF THE METAL WINDSHIELD MOLDING WAS BLOWN LOOSE FROM THE VEHICLE AND SLAMMED AGAINST THE TOP. IF THE TOP HAD BEEN DOWN, PASSENGERS COULD HAVE POSSIBLE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED. DAMAGE TO OTHER VEHICLES COULD HAVE OCCURRED AND/OR INJURY TO PEDESTRIANS WAS POSSIBLE. I WAS NOT ABLE TO LOCATE THE METAL MOLDING. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON STREET IN MY HOME TOWN ABOUT 30 MPH AND ENGINE DIES AND DOES NOT START. I WALK TO A STORE CAME BACK IN 15 -20 MINUTES CARE STARTED BACK AGAIN. DROVE ABUT 6 MILE VERY CLOSE TO MY HOUSE CAR DIED ON STREET AGAIN. I CHECKED ON CROSS FIRE FORUM OTHER CROSSFIRE OWNER HAS SAME ISSUE. CRANK SHAFT SENSOR AND SENSOR CONNECTOR WIRE IS NOT CONNECTED PROPERLY TO THE COMPUTER BOARD. WHEN ENGINE GETS HOT CONNECTOR WIRE GETS LOOSE AND SHUT THE ENGINE DOWN IT HAPPENED THREE TIME IN LAST TWO WEEKS I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE BECAUSE IT DIES ALL THE SUDDEN WHILE DRIVING NOW IT IS SEATING IN MY GARAGE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLE. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 60 MPH WHEN THE REAR WINDOW SEAL FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR INSPECTION BUT WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,100.

THE REAR WINDOW DELAMINATED FROM THE CONVERTIBLE TOP AND IS FALLING OUT. CHRYSLER IS WELL AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND HAS ADMITTED THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE ADHESIVE. THEY HAVE FAILED TO RECALL THE TOPS OF THIS CAR AND IT A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. THEY ARE HAND PICKING WHO GETS REPLACEMENT ROOFS. THE COST OF THE ROOF IS 2,000 CHRYSLER HAS AN X31 EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT COVERS THIS ISSUE BUT NOT EVERYONE QUALIFIES. THE CAR NEEDS A RECALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SHAME ON CHRYSLER AND THEY'RE VERY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!

ADHESIVE ON REAR GLASS WINDOW COMING LOOSE, HAS BEEN FOR MONTHS NOW. WINDOW IS NOW BARELY HELD IN BY TOP STRIP OF GLUE & COULD FALL OUT AT ANY MOMENT. ISSUE IS COVERED UNDER A SERVICE BULLETIN FROM CHRYSLER BUT THEY ARE DENYING MY CLAIM BECAUSE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED IN A DIFFERENT STATE. IF THE WINDOW FALLS OUT IT COULD HURT A PASSENGER OR EVEN FLY OUT FROM THE CAR AND HARM SOMEONE ELSE ON THE ROAD. THIS ISSUE HAPPENS TO ALL 2005 CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLES DUE TO A DEFECT IN MANUFACTURING. *TR

REAR WINDOW CAME LOOSE FROM CONVERTIBLE TOP. CHRYSLER IS ONLY REPAIRING CARS THAT WERE DELIVERED TO SOUTHERN STATES WHEN NEW. MY MOM BOUGHT THIS CAR IN PA AND DROVE IT TO FLA WHEN SHE RETIRED...CAR HAS BEEN THERE SINCE 2008 OR 2009. DOESN'T SEEM FAIR TO ME...ONLY 27,893 MILES! [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE REAR WINDOW OF MY 2005 CROSSFIRE LIMITED CONVERTIBLE HAS ALMOST COMPLETELY BECOME DETACHED IN THE OKLAHOMA SUMMER HEAT AT 52,000 MILES. AFTER NOTICING THE TSB AND THE FACT THAT CHRYSLER DID IN FACT STATE THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE GLUE ON CERTAIN MODELS, I CALLED CHRYSLER TO INQUIRE ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO SINCE A) THE VEHICLE EXCEEDED THE 36,000 MILE WARRANTY AND B) I WAS NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER. I PURCHASED THE VERY WELL MAINTAINED VEHICLE IN JUNE, 2013 WITH ONLY 49,000 MILES. CHRYSLER HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THE FACT THAT IT IS A FACTORY DEFECT WITH THESE MODELS....IT ONLY SEEMS REASONABLE THAT THEY CHRYSLER AT LEAST REPLACE THE "DEFECTIVE PART."

ON AUGUST 22, 2013, I DISCOVERED THE BACK WINDOW OF MY CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLE WAS DETACHED FROM THE CONVERTIBLE TOP. I THOUGHT MY VEHICLE WAS VANDALIZED. I CONTACTED MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND THE POLICE. THE POLICE INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND CONCLUDED THAT IT APPEARS SOMEONE TRIED TO PUSH THE GLASS OUT. UPON INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE FROM MY INSURANCE COMPANY ON 9-3-13 AND REVIEWING THE WEBSITE ON 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE COMPLAINTS, THE ADJUSTER CONCLUDED THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURED DEFECT AND DENIED MY CLAIM. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND WAS INFORMED THAT IT WAS NORMAL WEAR AN TEAR AND NOT COVERED FOR REPAIRS BY CHRYSLER. THE VEHICLE WAS ONLY DRIVEN FOR 28,277 MILES. I HAVE A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN THAT THERE ARE OVER 25 SERIOUS COMPLAINTS IN REGARDS TO THE BACK WINDOWS OF THE 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE AND NOT ONE RECALL FROM CHRYSLER OR THE HIGHWAY PATROL. I AM ASKING CHRYSLER TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR OF THE BACK WINDOW ON MY 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE LIMITED EDITION. FEEL FREE TO ADD MY COMPLAINT TO THE OTHERS LISTED AND I WILL BE SEEKING A RESPONSE FROM CHRYSLER. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED DURING THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY 28, 277 MILES, SO THIS CANNOT BE NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. UNHAPPY CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE CUSTOMER. *JB

THE REAR GLASS WINDOW OF THE CONVERTIBLE TOP BECAME LOOSE, SEPARATING FROM THE FABRIC TOP OVER A 19-INCH LINEAR LENGTH, POSING A SERIOUS HAZARD WHILE DRIVING WITH THE TOP UP; WITH THE POTENTIAL THAT IT MAY COME COMPLETELY OFF WHILE TRAVELING AT NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEEDS. *TR
