2005 Chrysler Crossfire Roadster

WHEELS HAVE TPMS TIRE SAFETY MONITORING SYSTEM IN THEM. REPLACED THE SENSORS IN ALL TIRES AND WENT TO DEALER TO RESET THEM, DEALER CHARGED $100 AND SAID I HAD A BAD SENSOR, WANTED EXTRA $80 TO REPLACE NEW SENSOR. I TOOK IT TO TIRE DEALER AND THEY SAID SENSORS WERE WORKING, BUT COULD NOT PROGRAM THE TPMS. EMAILED SCHROEDER WITH NO REPLIES ABOUT VALVE SAFELY PROBLEM. NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW HOW TO RESET A TPMS SAFETY ISSUE, SO I DO NOT HAVE A FLAT TIRE ACCIDENT. I THOUGHT THAT SAFETY COMES FIRST, WITHOUT NEEDING A LOAN TO FIX ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE ROADSTER. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING AND CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AND DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND OPENED CLAIM NUMBER: 312-27518. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 97,000. UPDATED 06/29/17*LJ

AIRBAG LIGHT AND THEREFORE FAILURE UNLESS FIXED DUE TO FAULTY CLOCK SPRING AND STEERING ANGLE SENSOR WITH ONLY 67144 MILES ON CAR. THE CLOCK SPRING WAS FOUND DEFECTIVE AND RECALLED ON OTHER CHRYSLER MODELS - SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO INCLUDE THIS MODEL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE ROADSTER. WHEN THE CONTACT PLACED THE KEY IN THE IGNITION, THE IGNITION SWITCH WOULD NOT TURN AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED.THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT WAS NOT ABLE TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100,000.

REAR WINDOW OF CONVERTIBLE TOP CAME LOOSE WHEN CAR WAS MOVED FROM DRIVEWAY BACK INTO THE GARAGE.

BACK WINDOW FELL OUT WHILE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE ONLY THING THAT KEPT IT FROM COMING COMPLETELY LOOSE WAS THE REAR WINDOW DEFROST WIRES.

INTERMITTENT ENGINE START FAILURE RELAY REPLACED GOOD FOR 30 DAYS THEN INTERMITTENT ENGINE START FAILURE STANDING STILL AND SOMETIMES IN MOTION CITY STREET. REPLACED RELAY $567.00

DURING A HEAVY SUMMER RAIN/WINDSTORM THE REAR WINDOW BECAME MOSTLY DETACHED AND FELL INWARD INTO THE CAR WHILE DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE.

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.

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.

REAR GLASS IN CONVERTIBLE HAS LOST ADHESION ALLOWING WATER INTO CAR INTERIOR. CAR HAS BEEN KEPT IN A GARAGE FOR THE LAST 7 YEARS, AND ONLY DRIVEN ABOUT 3,000 MILES PER YEAR.....UPDATED 11/13/15 *BF

I CAME OUTSIDE AND FOUND THE REAR GLASS OF THE CONVERTIBLE TOP HAD CAME LOOSE FROM THE FABRIC. THE CAR WAS NOT BEING DRIVEN BUT JUST FELL OUT ON IT'S OWN.

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.

THE GLASS REAR WINDOW HAS SEPARATED FROM THE FABRIC CONVERTIBLE ROOF. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE 2005 MODEL AND HAS BEEN RECALLED IN SEVERAL STATES. MINE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE COVERED BY THE RECALL BUT I HAVE THE ISSUE.

WOKE UP THE THIS MORNING AND DISCOVER THE REAR WINDOW OF MY 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE HAD SEPARATED FROM THE ROOF. THE CAR ONLY HAS 21,000 MILES ON IT. THE CAR HAS BEEN GARAGE KEPT IN A NORTHERN STATE. THERE IS NO REASON THIS SHOULD POOR WORKMANSHIP/ QUALITY. HAD THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING IT COULD HAVE CAUSED AND ACCIDENT. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED BY MANY CONSUMERS.

REAR WINDSHIELD STARTED FALLING OUT OF THE CONVERTIBLE TOP WHILE CAR WAS SITTING IN THE GARAGE. WOULD HAVE BEEN DANGEROUS IF IT CAME OUT ON THE HIGHWAY.

REAR WINDOW HAS STARTED TO SEPARATE FROM THE TOP DUE TO GLUE FAILURE.

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. *TR

PARKING THE CAR I MUST HAVE HIT THE GAS INSTEAD OF THE BRAKE, THE CAR DROVE OVER TWO CURVES, MADE A TURN, AND IN MY PANIC I HIT THE GAS EVEN HARDER THINKING IT WAS THE BRAKE. I ENDED BECAUSE I HIT A TREE THAT STOPPED THE CAR. THE AIRBAG DID NOT EXPLODE. THE CAR WAS TOTALED AND I STILL HAVE HEALTH ISSUES WITH MY HEAD. *TR

THE VEHICLE STOPPED RUNNING, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, THE AIR CONDITION HESITATE TO COME ON AND THE TIRE SENURE LIGHT STAYS ON. *TR

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. *TR

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. *TR

MY REAR WINDOW IS COMING UNDONE FROM THE CONVERTIBLE TOP AS IS THE CASE WITH NUMEROUS OTHER 2005 CROSSFIRE ROADSTERS. I TRIED TO CALL CHRYSLER CARE AS THERE IS A TSB SB-23035-11-REVA TO REPLACE THE TOP AS WELL AS EXTENDED WARRANTY X31 THROUGH CHRYSLER TO REPLACE THE TOP BOTH REQUIRE THE BACK GLASS TO BE SEPARATING OR FALLING OUT.CHRYSLER CARE ADVISED THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO HELP(ON TWO SEPARATE PHONE CALLS) AND SUGGESTED I GO TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THEM TO LOOK AT IT.I PRINTED BOTH THE TSB AND THE LETTER SENT BY CHRYSLER ABOUT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND HEADED TO THE DEALER. THE SERVICE REP ADVISED THAT I WOULD NEED TO PAY $139 JUST FOR THEM TO LOOK AT A PROBLEM CAUSED BY MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. RIDICULOUS! A NUMBER OF CROSSFIRE OWNER HAVE GOTTEN THEIR TOPS REPLACED WITHOUT A PROBLEM. I DON'T FEEL THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR A DIAGNOSIS OF A KNOWN PROBLEM FOR WHICH I WAS SENT TO THE DEALERSHIP. *TR

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. *TR

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.

I HAVE A 2005 CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLE I AM HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE REAR WINDOW IN THE TOP, IN NOV 2013 I NOTICE A SEPARATION OF THE TOP FROM THE REAR WINDOW AND TRIED TO GLUE IT CLOSED. AT THE TIME IT WAS A 1" GAP I WAS ABLE TO SEAL IT .NOW THE WINDOW HAS FELL OUT COMPLETELY. I CALL MY CHRYSLER DEALER (931-520-4121 IN COOKEVILLE ,TN) AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULDN'T FIX BECAUSE THE CAR CAME FROM MICHIGAN, IF IT HAD CAME FROM A SOUTHERN STATE THEY WOULD FIX ???. ITS A GOOD THING IT FELL OUT IN THE DRIVE WAY IN STEAD OF FLYING OUT AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS OR DURING A PANIC STOP OR COLLISION. THE GLASS IS REALLY HEFTY AND COULD KILL SOMEONE IF STRUCK BY IT . MY CAR NOW ONLY HAS 51,000 MILES NOW. I FEEL AS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR THE GENERAL PUBLIC THIS MATTER SHOULD BE ADDRESS IN A TIMELY MANNER THANK YOU [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) *JS

THE BACK WINDOW IS FALLING AWAY FROM THE CONVERTIBLE TOP. THE ADHESIVE IS NOT HOLDING THE BACK WINDOW IN PLACE. *TT

THE CONVERTIBLE TOP BACK GLASS CAME UNGLUED AND FELL OUT THIS CAR ONLY HAS 29,000 MILES THE TOP AND THE CAR ARE IN LIKE NEW CONDITION BUT CHRYSLER WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.THIS CAR WAS SOLD NEW IN MICHIGAN SO IT IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. I LIVE IN NORTH CAROLINA WHERE IT WOULD BE WARRANTIED IF IT WAS SOLD NEW HERE.THIS CAR WAS BUILT IN GERMANY AND THE US SELLING POINT SHOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE SUFFERING FROM THIS SAME PROBLEM AND TO HAVE TO SPEND $3000.00 DOLLARS TO REPAIR THIS WHEN CHRYSLER IS ALREADY FIXING OTHERS IS JUST CRIMINAL. *JS

REAR WINDOW GLASS SEPARATED FROM THE FABRIC CONVERTIBLE TOP. NHTSA HAS CHRYSLER TSB ON FILE FOR SAME EXACT DEFECT, ISSUED BY CHRYSLER IN 2011, SPECIFYING 10 YEAR/100,000 MILE WARRANTY EXTENSION. CHRYSLER RESTRICTS THEIR REMEDY TO ONLY VEHICLES FIRST SOLD IN ALABAMA, FLORIDA, GEORGIA, LOUISIANA, MISSOURI, NORTH CAROLINA, SOUTH CAROLINA, TENNESSEE, AND TEXAS, DESPITE THE FACT THAT ALL OF THESE CARS WERE IMPORTED FROM THE SAME SOURCE AT THE SAME TIME. THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE IN THE PRODUCT DEFECT THAT HAS OCCURRED NATIONWIDE. THE NHTSA MUST FORCE CHRYSLER TO HELP ALL AFFECTED OWNERS! WHAT CHRYSLER IS DOING IS JUST SO WRONG! PLEASE HELP US!

REAR WINDOW BECAME COMPLETELY DETACHED (LOOSE) FROM THE MOUNTING SURFACE. HAVING THE CHRYSLER GROUP SERVICE BULLETIN (23035-11 REV A) ON FILE, WHICH SPECIFIES A 10YR/100,000 MI. WARRANTY EXTENSION (2005 MODEL) ALONG WITH AN AMPLE AMOUNT OF EVIDENCE THAT THIS DEFECT HAS OCCURRED IN ALL REGIONS OF THE U.S., TO A VEHICLE THAT WAS IMPORTED FROM ONLY ONE SOURCE IN GERMANY; WHY HAS THE NHTSA FAILED TO REQUIRE THE CHRYSLER GROUP TO COVER ALL OF THE AFFECTED VEHICLES REGARDLESS OF WHICH STATE THEY WERE FIRST SOLD IN???

THE REAR WINDOW IS COMING LOOSE AND IT'S LEAKING.. MODULES IN TRUNK SHORTED DUE TO WATER LEAK. *TR

REAR WINDOW FAILURE -- ADHESIVE FAILS & REAR WINDOW FALLS OUT. THE FAILURE OF ANY WINDOW IS NOT NORMAL "WEAR AND TEAR." MANY OF THESE CARS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURE OVER THE YEARS. CHRYSLER FINALLY -- AFTER YEARS OF COMPLAINTS -- ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN #23-03511REVA IN 2011 THAT, ACCORDING TO CHRYSLER, COVERS ONLY VEHICLES DELIVERED IN NINE SOUTHEASTERN STATES. IT EXTENDS WARRANTY COVERAGE TO TEN YEARS (WHICH MEANS CHRYSLER WILL REPLACE THE CONVERTIBLE TOPS UNDER WARRANTY). ALL THESE CARS WERE BUILT IN BELGIUM. CHRYSLER HAD TROUBLE SELLING THESE VEHICLES SO IT AUCTIONED SOME VEHICLES INTERNALLY TO ITS DEALER NETWORK, WHO WERE THEN PERMITTED TO GET WHATEVER THEY COULD FOR BRAND NEW "USED" CARS. MINE WENT TO A DODGE DEALER IN FARMVILLE VA AND WAS SOLD TO ME (VIA EBAY) WITH 3 MILES ON THE ODOMETER IN MID-2007 OR SO. 33 MOS. OF "NEW CAR WARRANTY" REMAINED WHEN I REC'D IT HERE IN HAWAII. WHEN THAT WARRANTY EXPIRED I PURCHASED AN EXTENDED "PLATINUM" WARRANTY. THE REAR WINDOW FELL OUT OF THE CONVERTIBLE TOP THREE MONTHS AFTER THE INITIAL 36 MONTH WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED, THE EXTENDED "PLATINUM" WARRANTY WOULDN'T COVER REPAIRS. THE CAR HAD APPROX. 8000 MILES ON IT. AS NOTED BEFORE, CHRYSLER ISSUED THE SERVICE BULLETIN MENTIONED ABOVE IN 2011 BUT ARBITRARILY EXCLUDED SOME VEHICLES DESPITE THE PROBLEM OCCURRING IN CARS ALL OVER THE NATION. I GUESS THAT THEY THOUGHT THAT THE PROBLEM WOULD HAPPEN ONLY IN CERTAIN CLIMES -- BUT THERE ARE MORE THAN NINE U.S. STATES THAT GET HOT WEAT

RECALL LAMINATE ISSUE, CONVERTIBLE TOP FAILURE LEADING TO ELECTRICAL DAMAGE CAUSING TOP TO STAY OPEN. *TR

REAR WINDOW IS COMING LOOSE - ONE SIDE HAS COMPLETELY DELAMINATED. SOUNDS LIKE IT IS GOING TO FALL OR BREAK. I HAVE SEEN AND HEARD THAT CHRYSLER WILL STAND BEHIND IT UP TO 10 YEARS OR 100,000 MILES. I TOOK MY CAR TO A GARAGE AND HE TOLD ME THAT I SHOULD CONTACT CHRYSLER. IF THE TOP IS UP, I CANNOT DRIVE FASTER THAN 45 MPH WITHOUT IT VIBRATING. THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD. CAN YOU HELP ME? 12/26/2013 *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE ROADSTER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE REAR WINDOW BECAME DETACHED FROM THE CONVERTIBLE TOP. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 56,000.

RIGHT REAR RIM BROKE IN HALF. THIS BREAK WAS ON THE INSIDE OF THE RIM ABOUT 1" FROM THE SPOKES. THE BREAK WAS AROUND THE ENTIRE RIM. NOT ACROSS THE RIM; AROUND THE ENTIRE RIM. I CAN PROVIDE PICTURES AND STILL HAVE THE RIM. *TR

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. *TR

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. *TR

NOTICED THE REAR WINDOW HAS STARTED TO DETACH FROM THE TOP. THIS IS A KNOW FLAW AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. THIS IS A MAJOR HAZARD AS THE CAR CANNOT BE DRIVEN AS IS. *TR

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 CAR WAS PURCHASED IN NOV 2008 WITH ONLY 16,800 MILES ON IT, AND HAS BEEN GARAGE KEPT SINCE. THIS IS A KNOWN MANUFACTURING DEFECT, HAVING AFFECTED DOZENS OF THESE CARS, AS WELL AS OTHER CHRYSLER CONVERTIBLES PRODUCED DURING THAT TIME. CHRYSLER HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THE ISSUE, BUT WILL ONLY REPAIR VEHICLES DELIVERED TO SPECIFIC SOUTHERN STATES, NO MATTER WHERE YOU LIVE, BOUGHT THE CAR, ETC. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE ROADSTER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR WINDOW GLASS BECAME PARTIALLY DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE WHERE THE CONVERTIBLE TOP MET WITH THE STRUCTURE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 50,000. *TR

REAR WINDOW MOUNTED IN THE CONVERTIBLE TOP BREAKS LOOSE AND FALLS. IT COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE HAD IT COME LOOSE AT A HIGHER SPEED, BUT IN THE END THE MAJOR ISSUE IS NOW THE LARGE HOLE ALLOWING WATER INTO THE INSIDE OF THE CAR. CHRYSLER HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THIS ISSUE BUT ONLY IF THE CAR IS ORIGINALLY SOLD IN CERTAIN STATES. THIS CAR HAS BEEN IN THOSE STATES ALMOST THE ENTIRE TIME IT HAS EXISTED, BUT BECAUSE IT WAS SOLD IN CALIFORNIA ORIGINALLY IT IS DEEMED NOT COVERED. *TR

DRIVING APPOX. 35 MPH WHEN I STARTED TO HEAR A KNOCKING NOISE FROM THE REAR. LOOKED BACK TO SEE REAR GLASS ON CONVERTIBLE TOP HAD BECOME DETACHED ON THE BOTTOM OF GLASS. HAD TO WEDGE A PART IN BETWEEN GLASS AND BODY TO HOLD GLASS IN PLACE. NOW NOT DRIVING THE CAR BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY CONCERN AND THE $2100 QUOTED TO FIX IT. CAN'T AFFORD AT THIS TIME. *TR

REAR GLASS DETACHED FROM FABRIC ROOF (CONVERTIBLE) ON INTERSTATE. FORTUNATELY NOBODY FOLLOWING ME WAS INJURED. *TR

REAR WINDOW ADHESIVE FAILED AND REAR WINDOW GLASS STARTED TO BECOME DETACHED FROM CONVERTIBLE TOP. *TR

I HAVE 2005 CROSSFIRE THAT HAS BEEN STALLING INTERMITTENTLY. WHEN IT STALLS, IT USUALLY STARTS RIGHT UP, BUT A FEW TIMES IT HAS STALLED AND WHEN I TRY TO RESTART IT THE ENGINE DOES NOT TRY TO TURN OVER. THE LIGHTS STAY ON SO THERE'S POWER, BUT WHEN I TURN THE KEY...NOTHING! IT USUALLY STARTS UP AFTER A FEW MINUTES THIS MAKES ME VERY NERVOUS THAT SOMEONE WILL CRASH INTO ME! NOW THIS HAS HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE! IS CHRYSLER OBLIGATED TO RECALL THIS ISSUE? HERE ARE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS: (1) I HAVE 2005 CROSSFIRE ROADSTER THAT HAS BEEN STALLING INTERMITTENTLY. WHEN IT STALLS, IT USUALLY STARTS RIGHT UP, BUT A FEW TIMES IT HAS STALLED AND WHEN I TRY TO RESTART IT THE ENGINE DOES NOT TRY TO TURN OVER. THE LIGHTS STAY ON SO THERE'S POWER, BUT WHEN I TURN THE KEY...NOTHING! IT USUALLY STARTS UP AFTER A FEW MINUTES BUT IT'S A PAIN IN THE NECK WHEN YOU'RE SITTING IN TRAFFIC! I REPLACED THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR SO THAT'S NOT IT. ANY SUGGESTIONS? HAS ANYONE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS? (2) I JUST BOUGHT AN AUTOMATIC '05 CROSSFIRE ROADSTER AND I HAVE EXPERIENCED MULTIPLE TIMES NOW THAT, WHEN GETTING TO A STOP, THE ENGINE WILL STALL.IT EVEN DIED THREE TIMES ALREADY.IT IS NOT REPETITIVE AND DIFFICULT TO REPRODUCE. NO ERRORS OR ENGINE CHECK LIGHT SHOW UP AND THE DEALER CANNOT REPRODUCE EITHER.IS ANYBODY EXPERIENCING THIS SAME ISSUE? WHERE YOU ABLE TO SOLVE IT? PLEASE HELP THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP. *TR

THE REAR WINDOW IS DETACHING FROM THE CONVERTIBLE TOP. IT HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE OVER THE PAST YEAR AND THE WINDOW COULD FALL OUT AT ANY TIME WITHOUT A REPAIR. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE 2005 ROADSTER MODELS, CHRYSLER HAS REFUSED TO ISSUE A GENERAL RECALL. AS A RESULT, MY LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER IN SEMINOLE FLORIDA WILL NOT REPLACE NOR REPAIR THE TOP. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE ROADSTER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, A WHISTLE NOISE WAS EMITTED FROM THE REAR PORTION OF THE CONVERTIBLE TOP. AS A RESULT, THE REAR WINDOW GLASS BECAME SLIGHTLY DETACHED. THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THE FAILURE HOWEVER, A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN WAS ISSUED UNDER NHTSA ITEM NUMBER: 10042531 (VISIBILITY:GLASS, SIDE/REAR). THE VEHICLE WAS NEITHER DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,700.
