THE REAR WINDOW IS FALLING OUT OF MY 2005 CROSSFIRE ROADSTER CONVERTIBLE. IT IS A GLUED IN WINDOW AND THE GLUE HAS FAILED. WE WERE TOLD TODAY BY CHRYSLER THAT IT WAS NOT WARRANTIED AND COULD NOT BE REPAIRED. THE ONLY SOLUTION THEY OFFER IS TO BUY A NEW TOP FOR OVER $2100. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. NOT ONLY IS IT UNREASONABLY EXPENSIVE TO REMEDY, IT IS ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE. THE TOP COULD EASILY FLY OUT, INJURING A PASSENGER OR SOMEONE IN ANOTHER VEHICLE. CHRYSLER SHOULD OFFER A REASONABLE SOLUTION TO TAKE CARE OF THIS AS IT IS OBVIOUSLY A DESIGN DEFECT AND THEIR RESPONSIBILITY. *TR

THE REAR WINDOW CAME OUT OF MY 2005 CROSSFIRE WAS INFORMED THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM, THE ONLY FIX WAS TO REPLACE THE TOP.THE TOP IS LIKE NEW ,THE PROBLEM IS THE ADHESIVE FAILED. THIS CAR HAS BEEN KEPT IN A GARAGE FOR YEARS . THERE SHOULD BE SOME RECOURSE TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM! *TR

THE GLASS FROM THE TOP OF MY 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE ROADSTER SUNK IN AS THE GLUE FROM MANUFACTURER DID NOT HOLD UP. IT IS UNDER A MAXIMUM COVERAGE WARRANTY FROM CHRYSLER AND THEY STILL DID NOT WANT TO COVER THE REPAIR B/C IT IS MATERIAL. HOWEVER, IT IS THE WAY MANUFACTURER MADE THE CAR(WITH A SOFT TOP) THEREFORE THE WARRANTY SHOULD COVER THE TOP EVEN IF ITS CLOTH B/C IT IS HOW THEY MADE IT. *TR

THE BACK WINDOW IN MY 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLE FELL OUT. IT WAS GLUED IN AT THE FACTORY, NOT STITCHED OR BOLTED. REPAIR SHOPS WILL NOT WARRANTY THE WORK, STATING THAT IT WILL FALL OUT AGAIN WITHIN 6 MONTHS BECAUSE THE GLUE THEY CAN USE TO REPAIR THE WINDOW IS NOT AS STRONG AS WHAT IS USED IKN THE FACTORY. CHRYSLER SAYS THE ONLY WAY TO FIX THE PROBLEM IS TO INSTALL A NEW ROOF. THEY STATE THE PROBLEM IS RAMPED AND STEMS FROM A DESIGN FLAW. CHRYSLER HAS CORRECTED THE DESIGN FLAW AND DOES NOT WARRANTY THE 2005 VEHICLE. NO WARRANTY, NO DISCOUNT ON PARTS, NO SPLIT OF FEES, JUST...BUY A NEW ROOF. *TR

THE REAR WINDOW GLASS IS COMING OUT OF THE CONVERTIBLE TOP ON MY 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE. THERE WAS LESS THAN 40,000 MILES ON THE CAR WHEN IT STARTED. WENT TO THE DEALER TO GET IT LOOKED AT AND WAS TOLD THAT CHRYSLER WOULD NOT COVER IT AND THAT MY EXTENDED WARRANTY DID NOT COVER IT. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM ON THIS MODEL CAR FROM WHAT I HAVE BEEN READING ON THE WEB. WITH ALL I HAVE BEEN READING I WOULD THINK THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE AND FIX THIS ISSUE. *TR

VANDALISM TO CONVERTIBLE TOP, SLASHED. CONVERTIBLE TOP NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, REPLACING TOP BY MANUFACTURE WILL TAKE UNTIL AT LEAST JANUARY 29, 2010 FROM OCTOBER. THIS IS HAZARDOUS DUE TO DRIVING WITH A SLASHED TOP CREATES A MAJOR NOISE DISTRACTION AS WELL AS INCLEMENT WEATHER PROBLEMS SUCH AS SNOW AND RAIN DISTRACTS DRIVER AND MAY SOMEWHAT IMPAIR VISION ETC. *TR

MY 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE ROADSTER THE REAR WINDOW IS FALLING OUT OF THE TOP, I TOOK IT TO DAYTONA DODGE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE TOP COULD NOT BE FIXED IT HAD TO BE REPLACED AND IT WAS A 2800.00 REPAIR.

I HAD AN ACCIDENT RECENTLY HITTING A TREE AVOIDING A CHILD RUNNING INTO MY STREET. I HAVE INJURED MYSELF HITTING THE STEERING WHEEL HARD. I THINK MY NOSE WAS BROKEN AND A WEEK LATER IS STILL BOTHERING ME, 2 BLACK EYES. HERE IS THE ISSUE: I BOUGHT THIS 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE LTD ROADSTER ONLINE FROM MAC HAIK CDJ IN AUSTIN AND TOOK PHYSICAL DELIVERY AT THEIR MAC HAIK CHEVROLET HERE IN HOUSTON. MY INJURY IS DUE TO THE FACT THAT MY AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY AND MY SEATBELT DID NOT LOCK. AT THIS SPEED, @ 20 MPH, THE BELT WOULD HAVE SECURED ME FROM INJURY. WHERE IS THE LIABILITY HERE FOR THIS? IS IT LEGAL FOR A FRANCHISE DEALER TO SELL A VEHICLE WITHOUT A FUNCTIONING AIRBAG AND SEATBELT? PLEASE ADVISE. *TR

THIS IS A COMPLAINT ON A 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE ROADSTER THAT WAS JUST PURCHASED IN JUNE 2009. I WAS LOOKING IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND NOTICED A SMALL QUARTER INCH GAP BETWEEN MY CONVERTIBLE TOP AND MY REAR WINDOW. WHEN I INSPECTED THE VEHICLE, I ALSO NOTICED ANOTHER GAP THAT WAS ON THE LEFT DRIVER SIDE OF MY REAR WINDOW. THIS GAP IS ABOUT 2 INCHES WIDE AND I CAN LITERALLY STICK MY HAND ON THE INSIDE OF MY CAR. IT SEEMS THAT THE HEAT HERE IN TEXAS HAS MELTED THE GLUE TO THE POINT THAT THE WINDOW IS BECOMING DETACHED FROM THE CONVERTIBLE TOP'S CANVAS MATERIAL. SO, I CONTACTED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE ON MONDAY MORNING AND THEY INSTRUCTED ME TO VISIT A DEALER TO SEE IF THEY COULD FIX THE WINDOW. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT AFTERNOON AND THEY TOLD ME (VERBATIM) "WE DON'T BOTHER WORKING ON THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE IT IS TOO MUCH OF A HASSLE, WE REFER CROSSFIRES TO AN UPHOLSTERY SHOP!" SO, THE NEXT MORNING WHICH WAS TUESDAY, I CONTACT CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE AGAIN, TOLD THEM WHAT I WAS TOLD AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID "PLEASE GO TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP." SO I WENT AGAIN THAT TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND THIS TIME THEY LOOKED AT MY VEHICLE AND SAID THEY WOULD CONTACT CUSTOMER SERVICE AND GET BACK WITH ME THE NEXT DAY. I RECEIVED A CALL TODAY, WEDNESDAY, SAYING THAT IT IS GOING TO COST $3,000 PLUS TAX TO REPAIR. THEY CAN'T JUST GLUE THE WINDOW BACK IN, THEY HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE TOP. CHRYSLER ALSO DENIED A GOODWILL REPLACEMENT BECAUSE IT WAS DEEMED UNNECESSARY

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE ROADSTER. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE REAR WINDOW FELL OUT OF THE LINER.

I HAVE A 2005 CONVERTIBLE CROSSFIRE, THE BACK WINDOW IS FALLING OUT. I TOOK IT TO A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND WAS INFORMED I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE TOP FOR 2,200.00. THE DEALERSHIP REFERRED ME TO CHRYSLER AND THEY WANTED TO PAY FOR HALF THE REPLACEMENT COST. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH TOP AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO REPLACE A TOP ON A 4 YEAR OLD CAR. I BELIEVE THE TOP SHOULD HAVE A RECALL AS I HAVE BEEN READING THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. IF THE WINDOW CAME OUT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVING THERE COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

THE BACK WINDOW OF MY 2005 CROSSFIRE HAS COME UNGLUED FROM THE CONVERTIBLE TOP. IT WAS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IT COULD HAVE COME OFF WHILE DRIVING AND HURT EITHER PASSENGERS OR SOMEONE DRIVING BESIDE ME. *TR
