2005 Chrysler Crossfire Convertible

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.

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

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

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.

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR GLASS HAD BECOME PARTIALLY DETACHED FROM THE CONVERTIBLE TOP. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE CONVERTIBLE TOP WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 43,000. *TR

REAR GLASS HAS SEPARATED FROM CONVERTIBLE TOP AT THE BOTTOM FOR 10 TO 12 INCHES. FEAR THAT THE REST WILL PULL FREE IF I CONTINUE TO DRIVE. CALLED REPAIR PLACES AND WAS TOLD IT COULD NOT BE REPAIRED DUE TO THE WAY IT WAS MANUFACTURED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. CAR IS GARAGE KEPT AND DRIVEN 3500 MILES A YEAR, TOP LOOKS LIKE NEW OTHERWISE. HAVE INFORMED MY LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP WHERE I HAVE INSPECTION AND OIL CHANGES PERFORMED AND WAS TOLD THAT SOMEONE WOULD CONTACT ME. NOTHING AS OF YET. *TR
