2005 Chrysler Crossfire Convertible

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

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

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

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

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
