2005 Chrysler Crossfire complaints

2005 CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLE TOP BACK GLASS DEFECTIVE FACTORY USED ADHESIVE CAME MOSTLY SEPARATED FROM TOP. THE PART GLASS STILL HAD ADHESIVE TORE TOP. I HAD IT GLUED BUT ENTIRE TOP NEEDS REPLACING. GLASS CAME LOOSE WHILE PARKED. THE DESIGN AND ADHESIVE SHOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER PRODUCT. I HAVE HAD OTHER CONVERTIBLES HERE IN MISSISSIPPI AND NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN. CHRYSLER SHOULD REPLACE ALL THESE TOPS. BACK GLASS REGLUED WITH WINDOW-WELD. IT NOT PERFECT NOW BECAUSE GLASS TORE TOP WHEN FELL OUT. LOVE THE CAR HATE THE TOP. HOPE THEY WILL STAND BEHIND THEIR NAME.

REAR WINDOW FELL OUT WHILE DRIVING, RECENTLY PURCHASED VEHICLE SO DID NOT KNOW ABOUT EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT WAS OFFERED EXTENDING TO 2015. CAN NOT FIND REPLACEMENT .

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR WINDOW SEPARATED FROM THE CONVERTIBLE TOP. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON TWO OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 49,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE. WHEN THE CONTACT APPROACHED THE VEHICLE, THE REAR WINDOW DETACHED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE ENTIRE CONVERTIBLE TOP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 41,000.

YESTERDAY, AFTER PUTTING THE TOP UP, I DROVE THE CAR. I HAD NOT PUT THE TOP UP IN ABOUT A WEEK. CAR SAT OUT IN BLAZING SUN WITH TEMPS IN THE HIGH 90'S FOR ABOUT 2.5 HOURS. WHEN I STARTED DRIVING, I HEARD AN ODD RATTLE. I PULLED OVER AND CHECKED THE CAR TO FIND THAT THE REAR WINDOW WAS SEPARATING FROM THE SOFT TOP. IT WAS ABOUT 2/3 STILL ATTACHED. I HAD TO CONTINUE DRIVING IT. UPON RETURNING HOME, I SEE THAT IT IS NOW 2/3 DISCONNECTED. I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR IN THE RAIN AS MY TRUNK WOULD FLOOD. AFRAID TO TRY TO JERRY RIG IT. UNABLE TO CALL DEALER UNTIL TOMORROW AS THIS, OF COURSE, IS A HOLIDAY WEEKEND. I AM FEARFUL OF DRIVING THE CAR FOR FEAR THE GLASS WILL BECOME COMPLETELY DETACHED. OTHER THAN THE ATTACHED WIRE THAT HEATS THE GLASS FOR DEFOGGING, THERE IS NOTHING THAT WILL SECURE IT IF IT COMPLETELY DETACHES. THERE IS NOTHING TO KEEP IT FROM COMPLETELY DETACHING. I DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO OR OWN ANOTHER CAR. I CANNOT JUST DRIVE MY CAR ON NICE DAYS AND STAY HOME ON RAINY OR COLD ONES. I AM INTERESTED TO SEE WHAT MY DEALERSHIP WILL DO ABOUT THIS. I FEAR NOTHING FROM OTHER ONLINE COMMENTS. THE CAR IS ONLY WORTH ABOUT $6K SO THE IDEA OF PUTTING A NEW TOP ON IT FOR $2-3K OUT OF MY POCKET SEEMS RIDICULOUS. I LOVE MY CAR AND WANT TO KEEP DRIVING IT. IT ONLY HAS 70K MILES AND I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE. THE CONTACT OBSERVED THAT WHEN THE TOP OF HIS VEHICLE WAS DOWN, THE REAR WINDSHIELD WOULD DETACH FROM THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE RECURRED CONTINUOUSLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

CALLED CHRYSLER CORPORATION ABOUT REAR WINDOW SEPARATING FROM TOP. THEY SAID IT WOULD BE REPLACED BUT I WOULD HAVE TO GO TO A DEALER FOR PICTURES AND INSPECTION. THEY SUGGESTED MANAHAWKIN CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM RT 72 MANAHAWKIN, NJ 08050 609-597-1097. MY CAR WAS INSPECTED AND PICTURES WERE TAKENED BY DEALER ON 8/15/14 AS PER CHRYSLERS REQUEST. INVOICE NUMBER CHCS113759. I HAVE A PAPER FROM DEALER STATING WINDOW IS SEPARATING FROM TOP AND WILL NOTIFY CHRYSLER WITH RESULTS. I RECEIVED A CALL FROM CHRYSLER CORP. STATING MINE IS NOT COVERED BECAUSE IT WAS NOT DELIVERED IN SPECIFIED STATES. I COULD NOT UNDERSTAND THE LOGIC THAT CERTAIN STATES WOULD BE COVERED AND OTHERS NOT WHEN THEY WERE ALL MADE IN THE SAME LOCATIONS. THEY PROBLEM EXIST ON ALL THE CONVERTIBLES. I DO TRAVEL AND IF I WENT BY THEIR CONCEPT TO ONLY COVER STATES THAT HAVE HIGH TEMPERATURES WHAT DO I DO WHEN I TRAVEL TO THOSE STATES WITH THE CAR? I ASK FOR YOUR HELP IN THIS SINCE THIS IS A CAR MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHERE YOU LIVE THE CAR HAS THE PROBLEM IN ALL STATES. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE.

REAR WINDOW FELL OUT OF CONVERTIBLE TOP

I BOUGHT THIS CAR WITH ONLY 26000 MILES ON IT THE BACK WINDSHIELD SEPARATED FROM THE CAR AT ONLY APPROXIMATELY 34000 MILES AND STILL CURRENTLY HANGING THERE. CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY REFUSED TO FIX, SAID CAR WAS SHIPPED TO SOME DEALER UP NORTH, SO IT DOES NOT QUALIFY TO BE FIXED? ADDITIONALLY, I ONLY HAVE 40000 MILES ON IT NOW AND THE KEY AND FOB, AS WELL AS LOCKS NO LONGER WORK, THE CAR SHUTS OFF BY ITSELF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, THE LIGHTS FLASH ON THE DASH AT ALL TIMES.

MY BACK WINDOW ON MY SOFT TOP WAS PLUGGED OUT WHILE AM DRIVING ON MOTORWAY AND I WAS ABLE TO HEAR THE WINDOW COMING OUT OF THE MATERIAL ITS REALLY DANGEROUS HOW DID THEY DESINGED IT TO BE HANGGING LIKE THAT

THE REAR WINDOW FELL OUT. I HAD IT REPAIRED BUT THE WINDOW FELL OUT AGAIN. AS A RESULT OF THE WINDOW FALLING OUT, THE REAL DEFROSTER NO LONGER WORKS....UPDATED 11/05/15 *BF. UPDATED 12/06/2017*CN

THE GLASS REAR WINDOW PANEL IN MY CONVERTIBLE TOP BEGAN DETACHING FROM THE TOP. IT APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN HELD ON ONLY BY ADHESIVE. THERE ARE A REMAINING 6 INCHES ON THE TOP THAT ARE STILL GLUED, BUT I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR FOR FEAR THAT THIS WINDOW GLASS WILL FLY OUT AND INJURE OR DAMAGE ANYONE DRIVING BEHIND ME. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY UNSAFE CONDITION, AND I HAVE FOUND THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR THIS SITUATION TO BE REPAIRED, AN ENTIRELY NEW TOP MUST BE INSTALLED. FOR A VEHICLE ONLY 10 YEARS OLD, WITH WELL LESS THAN 100,000 MILES, THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!

REAR GLASS HAS SEPARATED FROM CONVERTIBLE TOP FOR NO APPARENT REASON.

2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE REAR WINDOW PROBLEMS. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED WHEN HE AND HIS WIFE RETURNED TO THE VEHICLE, THE REAR GLASS WAS LYING ON THE BACK DECK. THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED BY HIS INSURANCE COMPANY, THE WINDOW PROBLEM WAS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND WAS NOT COVERED BY HIS INSURANCE POLICY. *JB UPDATED 09/02/15*LJ UPDATED 11/01/2017*CN

THE GLASS REAR WINDOW OF MY CAR IS DETACHING FROM THE CONVERTIBLE SOFT TOP. HAVING BEEN TO SEVERAL CHRYSLER DEALERS OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS, WITH MUCH DIFFICULTY FINDING AUTHORIZED REPAIR TECHNICIANS, I DID NOT TAKE IT IMMEDIATELY TO A DEALERSHIP. IT SEEMED TO BE GLUED IN ORIGINALLY SO I BEGAN WITH MY LOCAL AUTO BODY SHOP WHO REFERRED ME TO A CONVERTIBLE TOP SPECIALIST. I DISCOVERED THE ENTIRE TOP HAS TO BE REPLACED WHICH IS VERY EXPENSIVE. IN RESEARCHING ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS ONLINE, I DISCOVERED THAT THIS DEFECT IS VERY COMMON IN THE 2005 MODEL AND CHRYSLER HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY IN SOME CASES. I REACHED OUT TO CHRYSLER, ONLY TO DISCOVER THAT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY ONLY APPLIES TO CERTAIN "WARM" STATES, NOT CALIFORNIA. I'M NOT SURE HOW THEY MADE THAT DETERMINATION OF WHICH STATES ARE WARM BUT NOT COVERING CALIFORNIA WHICH IS ONE OF THE WARMEST STATES MAKES NO SENSE TO ME. AFTER HEARING THE MANY HORROR STORIES CAUSING INJURY, I HAVE NOW RESOLVED TO KEEP MY CAR IN THE GARAGE UNTIL THE TOP CAN BE REPLACED.

I HAVE HAD MY CAR SINCE 2006 HOWEVER I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE BECAUSE THE IGNITION SWITCH DOESN'T TURN. I WOULD GET IT FIX OUT OF POCKET BUT I ONLY HAVE 33,000 ORIGINAL MILES ON IT, AND I DON'T THINK A CAR THAT HAS THIS LITTLE OF MILES SHOULD HAVE THIS KIND OF PROBLEM.

MY CAR HAS ON OCCASION RANDOMLY JUST NOT TURNED OVER, SOMEDAYS IT RUNS THEN MAY NOT START FOR DAYS, THEN START THEN JUST NOT START, GETTING VERY FRUSTRATED DUE TO LOW MILES CAR HAS AND HAVING THIS REDICULIOUS ISSUE. PUT IN NEW BATTERY NOTHING, CHANGED OUT PARTS STILL WILL NOT FIX IT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, THE REAR WINDOW IN THE CONVERTIBLE TOP DETACHED AND FELL OUT, CAUSING THE CAR BEHIND ME TO...REACT IN A VERY UNSAFE MANNER. THE SUDDEN WIND INSIDE MY CAR CAUSED A VERY UNSAFE CONDITION. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO A NUMBER OF CROSSFIRE OWNERS. BIG PROBLEM. WHEN IT DETACHED, IT RIPPED OUT THE WIRING FOR THE DEFOGGER AND SCRATCHED THE TONNEAU COVER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE. WHILE PARKED, THE KEY WOULD NOT TURN IN THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

I UNDERSTAND THAT THE REAR WINDOW IS FALLING OUT OF MANY OF THESE VEHICLES AND CHRYSLER IS DOING NOTHING. *TR

IT'S HARD TO IMAGINE HOW ANYONE AT NHTSA CAN SIT AND REVIEW ALL THE REPORTS ON A SERIOUS MANUFACTURING DEFECT (AND SAFETY HAZARD) ON THESE CARS YET CHRYSLER GET AWAY WITH A PARTIAL RECALL BASED ON WHERE THE CROSSFIRES WERE INITIALLY DELIVERED. BOTTOM LINE: AS OF LATE 2011, CHRYSLER WILL DO THE "RIGHT THING" ONLY IF ONE'S CAR WAS "DELIVERED" IN ONE OF SEVERAL SOUTHERN STATES -- IN LIGHT OF THE FACT THAT THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE RELATED TO HEAT. CHRYSLER WILL NOT DO THE RIGHT THING IF THE SAME PROBLEM (THE REAR WINDOW FALLS OUT OF THE CONVERTIBLE TOP) IF THE CAR WAS DELIVERED SOMEWHERE ELSE -- AS IF THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRING IN THOSE STATES IS SOMEHOW NOT A SERIOUS MANUFACTURING DEFECT. OR AS IF PEOPLE DON'T MOVE TO OTHER STATES DURING THEIR LIVES. I WILL NEVER BUY A CHRYSLER/FIAT PRODUCT AGAIN IN LIGHT OF HOW THE CHRYSLER COMPANY HASN'T STOOD BEHIND ITS PRODUCT AND REPAIRED THIS COMMON DEFECT -- A DEFECT THAT SHOULD NEVER OCCUR IN A MODERN CAR. THIS IS SO FAR FROM THE ATTITUDE OF MOST JAPANESE AND KOREAN CAR MANUFACTURERS THAT THE DIFFERENCE SUGGESTS THAT IT'S FLAT-OUT FOOLISH TO BY ANYTHING FROM THIS COMPANY. BUT WHEN IT COMES TO NHTSA, IT MAKES ONE WONDER WHY THAT AGENCY SITS ON ITS HANDS AND DOES NOTHING TO REQUIRE CHRYSLER TO EXTEND ITS SERVICE BULLETIN TO COVER ALL SUCH VEHICLES, NO MATTER WHERE DELIVERED. RIGHTLY MAKES ONE WONDER WHAT NHTSA DOES THAT'S WORTH WE TAXPAYERS PAYING THEIR SALARIES. *TR

MY REAR WINDOW IS SEPARATING FROM THE CONVERTIBLE CANVAS TOP. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AS THERE IS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY OF 10 YEARS OR 100,000 MILES: NHTSA SB 23035-11 REV A. I WAS TOLD THE NHTSA WAS FOR VEHICLES DELIVERED ONLY IN CERTAIN STATES. WHAT DOES THE STATE HAVE TO DO WITH A FAULTY ADHESION PROBLEM? AFTER A NUMBER OF EMAILS AND PHONE CALLS CHRYSLER HAS TURNED DOWN THE REQUEST. CONCERNED THERE IS A DANGER IF THE WINDOW COMES OUT ON THE HIGHWAY. *TR

I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH AND THE REAR CONVERTIBLE WINDOW DETACHED FROM THE TOP. IT APPEARS THAT THE ADHESIVE NO LONGER HOLDS THE WINDOW TO THE CONVERTIBLE TOP. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD THAT SHOULD BE FIXED BY CHRYSLER BUT IT IS NOT COVERED. *TR

DRIVING 55 AND BACK WINDOW FELL OUT. AND CHRYSLER WILL NOT PAY FOR NEW TOP. *TR

IGNITION STICKS. AT TIMES WHEEL WILL NOT TURN AND CAR WILL NOT START. DON'T KNOW IF IT CAN LOCK UP WHILE THE CAR IS OPERATING. NUMEROUS ON-LINE COMPLAINTS APPEAR REGARDING THE CROSSFIRE WHEEL LOCK AND IGNITION MALFUNCTION. RECALL BEFORE IT CAUSES ACCIDENT WOULD BE WARRANTED. *TR

MY CANVAS TOP HAS SEPARATED FROM THE GLASS WINDOW DUE TO DEFECTIVE GLUE PROCESS. NOT SAFE AT ALL. IT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY DOING 55MPH. WINDOW STARTED TO SEPARATE FROM CANVAS TOP. IT I DIDN'T HEAR ALL THE AIR COMING IN AND SEE IT IN MY MIRROR IT COULD FLOWN OUT OF THE CAR INTO ANOTHER CAR IF I DIDN'T QUICKLY SLOW DOWN AND PULL OVER. VERY DANGEROUS AND NOW I HAVE A MAHER BILL TO HAVE IT FIXED. FROM DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET I FOUND THAT ALL 2005 CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLE OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME THING AN MORE OF THEM EVERYDAY. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE BEFORE IT KILLS SOMEONE IF IT HASN'T ALREADY. THANKS FOR LISTENING AND HOPEFULLY YOUR HELP WITH THIS MATTER. *TR

THE REAR WINDOW IN HAS BECOME UNGLUED AND FELL OUT. CHRYSLER HAS BEEN GETTING CALLS AND HAVING MAJOR ISSUES WITH THIS ISSUE. THEY WILL DO NOTHING TO HELP. *TR

THIA CAR'S PROBLEM MAY BE WITHTHE IGNITION. SOMETIME'S IT JUST WILL NOT START. WE PUT A NEW BATTERY IN IT ONLY TO FIND THAT THE BATTERY WAS NOT THE PROBLEM. IT HAS BEEN TO REPAIR THREE TIMES. THEY DID A THOROUGH CHECK AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG EACH TIME. THE FIRST TIME THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED. THEY SAID THEY DID NOT EXPERIENCE THE PROBLEM WHEN THEY HAD THE CAR. IT WASDRIVEN BACK HOME. ANOTHER TIME THE CAR JUST STOPPED ON THE HIGHWAY (AT 35MPH) DOWNTOWN ATLANTA IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE IT MAY EITHER STOP OR JUST NOT START. *TR

I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR. THE CUP HOLDER IS STUCK IN THE VERTICAL POSITION RIGHT WHERE MY ELBOW GOES WHEN CONTROLLING THE SHIFTER THUS MAKING IT DIFFICULT AND POSSIBLY DANGEROUS TO DO SO. I WENT ON THE INTERNET TO INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE AND FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS FROM CROSSFIRE OWNERS OF ALL YEARS ABOUT THIS VERY THING. CHRYSLER WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT IT INCLUDING JUST DISCONNECTING THE SPRING ON THE CUP HOLDER SO THAT IT WILL STAY DOWN. THE FIX IS OVER $300 IF YOU GET CHRYSLER TO DO IT, AND THEY INSTALL THE SAME DEFECTIVE PART AGAIN. NOT A GOOD FIX. I THINK IT IS DANGEROUS, VERY DISTRACTING WHILE DRIVING. *TR

MY BACK WINDOW IS STARTING TO PEEL AWAY FROM THE GLUE WHICH HOLDING IT IN, AND I HEARD. IT'S BEEN RECALLED TO REPLACE THE TOP. *TR

WHEN YOU PUT THE KEY IN TO START ENGINE IT WON'T TURN IN ANY DIRECTION. CAN NOT REMOVE KEY. SHOOK, JIGGLED, TURNED , KEY WITH NO MOVEMENT. TOOK ABOUT 3 HOURS OF SHAKING KEY IN LOCK BEFORE IT WORKED. HAS DONE THIS EVERY TIME THE LAST FEW TIMES I DROVE CAR. NOW THE CAR JUST SITS IN THE DRIVEWAY. I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT WILL NOT EVER TURN AGAIN.

THE REAR GLASS WINDOW IN THE CONVERTIBLE SOFT TOP HAS COME UNGLUED AND IS FALLING OUT. THIS IS A SEVERE ISSUE WITH THIS MAKE OF CAR AND CHRYSLER REFUSES TO REPAIR OR REPLACE IT. AT ONE TIME, CHRYSLER AGREED TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY ON THESE VEHICLES TO 10 YEARS OR 100,000 MILES BUT ONLY TO CROSSFIRES THAT WERE SHIPPED TO CERTAIN SOUTHERN STATES, SUCH AS SOUTH CAROLINA, GEORGIA, FLORIDA, TENNESSEE, ALABAMA, MISSISSIPPI AND TEXAS. THEY FEEL ONLY THE CARS THAT ARE IN THESE WARMER CLIMATE STATES WILL BE AFFECTED. MY CAR IS A 2005 MODEL THAT I PURCHASED AS A USED VEHICLE FROM CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IN JULY 2012, WHO DID NOT TELL ME ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND REFUSE TO REPAIR OR REPLACE THE TOP. IT WAS SHIPPED TO MI IN 2005 AND THEN WAS REGISTERED IN SC IN 2006. MY FEELING IS ALL OF THE AFFECTED CARS SHOULD BE UNDER WARRANTY AS IT'S A MANYFACTURER DEFECT. NOW I WILL BE RESPONSIBLE TO PAY AN ADDITIONAL $2,300 FOR A NEW TOP THAT WILL EVENTURALLY HAVE THE REAR WINDOW FALL OUT AGAIN. GOOGLE THIS PROBLEM AND YOU WILL SEE IT'S NATIONWIDE IF NOT WORLDWIDE. A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT NEEDS TO BE STARTED AGAINST CHRYSLER AND MERCEDES. *TR

PURCHASED CROSSFIRE IN CALIFORNIA IN DECEMBER OF 2012 WITH 45000 MILES ON IT. COMMENCING JANUARY 2013, REAR GLASS COMMENCED COMING DETACHED FROM CANVAS CONVERTIBLE TOP. CONDITION CONTINUES AND IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR BOTH PASSENGERS AND DRIVERS BEHIND CAR. IF GLASS BREAKS LOOSE IT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS BODILY HARM. CHRYSLER IS VERY WELL AWARE OF THE SITUATION AND HAS PAID TO REPAIR THE VEHICLES ON A SPORADIC BASIS. THEIR LAST COMMENTS TO ME WAS DUE TO MY VEHICLE BEING FIRST DELIVERED IN CALIFORNIA, IT WAS EXEMPT FROM THE RECALL FOR EIGHT SOUTHERN STATES. THIS IS QUITE PERPLEXING AS THE VEHICLES ARE IDENTICAL, WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS. ONLY IN DIFFERENT STATES. I HAVE JUST LEARNED THAT THEY REPLACED THE TOP ON A VEHICLE IN CHICAGO. CLEARLY NOT ONE OF THE STATES NAMED IN THE SOUTH. I WOULD LIKE THEM TO HONOR WHAT THEY ARE DOING ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. PERHAPS IT IS BECAUSE THEY PROBABLY SOLD THE MOST OF THESE VEHICLES HERE IN CALIFORNIA. THEY ARE ALSO EXCUSING THEMSELVES FROM DOING REPAIRS BECAUSE THE CARS WERE NEVER CLIMATE TESTED IN CALIFORNIA. IF NOT, THEY ARE RELYING ON TESTING DONE ON THE MB SLK. AN IDENTICAL VEHICLE. PLEASE HELP ME GET MY VEHICLE REPAIRED UNDER THE WARRANTY EXTENDED TO SO MANY OTHERS. *TR
