WAS PASSING ON AN UPHILL PASSING LANE AND ENGINE SHUTDOWN. COASTED SAFELY TO ROAD SIDE, NO COLLISION OR INCIDENTS. AIR TEMP WAS ~95F AND HAD BEEN DRIVING FOR SEVERAL HOURS. CHECKED ON CROSSFIRE FORUM AND THIS APPEARS TO A COMMON PROBLEM. THERE ARE FAULTY SOLDER JOINTS IN A RELAY CONTROL MODULE THAT FAIL UNDER TEMPERATURE. PULLED MODULE AND LET COOL, CAR RESTARTED AND DROVE ~60 MILES TO HOME WITHOUT INCIDENT. ORDERED REPLACEMENT PART BUT AM CONCERNED THIS MAY REOCCUR WITHOUT WARNING.
VEHICLE WAS IN DRIVEWAY WHEN I NOTICED THAT THE REAR WINDOW WAS COMING OFF THE CONVERTIBLE TOP. IT WAS COMING LOOSE FROM THE UPPER LEFT CORNER AND DOWN ACROSS THE BOTTOM. IT HAS SINCE COME LOOSE EXCEPT ON THE RIGHT SIDE AND CORNER.
REAR WINDOW COMPLETELY SEPERATED FROM CONVERTIBLE TOP. CAR WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY OF MY HOME..... UPDATED 09/30/15*BF
THE REAR WINDOW OF THE CONVERTIBLE TOP HAS COME LOOSE. THE ADHESIVE FAILED. THIS DISTORTS THE REAR VIEW PRESENTING A SAFETY HAZARD. THIS IS MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND SHOULD BE FIXED THEM.
