2005 Chrysler Crossfire Convertible

I GET OFF WORK, GO TO CAR TO GO HOME, BACK WINDOW LAYING DOWN INTO THE CAR. CHRYSLER AND MY INSURANCE COMPANY REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING. PEOPLE PAY $26,000/30,000 FOR A VEHICLE AND THEN HAVE TO PAY ANOTHER $2000 TO REPAIR WHAT CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF AND RESPONSIBLE FOR. I'VE READ MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS WITH NO SOLUTIONS. SOMETHING IS TERRIBLY WRONG WITH THIS. SOMEBODY SHOULD BE ABLE TO FORCE CHRYSLER TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. "WHAT IF" WINDOW HAD BLOWN OUT WHILE DRIVING CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO PERSONS BEHIND VEHICLE.

THE GLASS REAR WINDOW HAS COME UNGLUED FROM THE CONVERTIBLE TOP. CHRYSLER WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THIS DEFECT EVEN THOUGH IT IS WIDELY REPORTED, UNLESS THE VEHICLE WAS SOLD IN ONE OF 7 SOUTHERN STATES. OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A DEFECTIVE GLUE PROBLEM AND THEY SHOULD STAND BEHIND IT. OWNERS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND ALTHOUGH IT MIGHT BE MORE PREVALENT IN THE SOUTH, IT STILL HAPPENS ON NORTHERN CARS. CHRYSLER, STOP THIS RIDICULOUS PETTINESS AND FIX THESE CARS!

MY CAR IS GARAGE KEPT. I WENT TO VISIT A FAMILY MEMBER AND THE NEXT MORNING WALKED OUTSIDE, GOT IN MY CAR, STARTED TO DRIVE OFF ABOUT 0.1 MILE AWAY NOTICED MY BACK WINDOW SHAKING. I LOOKED BACK AND NOTICED MY BACK WINDOW HAD BECOME UNGLUED ON THE LEFT SIDE, RIGHT SIDE AND BOTTOM. IT WAS STILL HANGING ON AT THE TOP BY ONLY A LITTLE GLUE. I AM BLESSED THAT I WAS NOT DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY OR AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED AND THE WINDOW BECOME TOTALLY UNGLUED. I HAD TO PLACE TOWELS IN THE WINDOW TO GET THE WINDOW TO SIT UP IN ORDER FOR ME TO DRIVE ONE HOUR HOME. I AM NOT ABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR BECAUSE OF THIS AND CALLED FOUR DEALERSHIPS AND TWO UPHOLSTERY PLACES TO FIND OUT IF THEY CAN REPAIR THIS AND IF IS UNDER WARRANTY. TWO UPHOLSTERY PLACES GOT BACK TO ME, ONE QUOTED $120 FOR A TEMP FIX THAT HE CANNOT GUARANTEE WILL LAST OR REPLACING THE WHOLE ROOF FOR ABOUT $1800-$1900. ANOTHER UPHOLSTERY PLACE GOT BACK TO ME, $395-$500 FOR A TEMP FIX NOT GUARANTEEING IT AND IF IT DOES NOT HOLD UP HE WOULD CREDIT ME 80% OF WHAT I PAID TOWARDS HIM REPLACING MY ROOF FOR $2,400-$2,500. ONE DEALERSHIP GOT BACK TO ME AND KNOWS ABOUT THE ISSUE, LOOKED UP MY VIN AND MY CAR WAS NOT MADE IN A STATE THAT CHRYSLER COVERED UNDER THE SERVICE BULLETIN AND RECOMMENDS REPLACING IT WITH THE PART THAT CHRYSLER ASSIGNED TO THE SERVICE BULLETIN SO IT WOULD COST LESS, PRICE QUOTE $1,750. I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED THAT CHRYSLER WOULD NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR CARS AND RECALL OR FIX THE ISSUE WITH ALL CARS THAT HAVE THIS ISSUE. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHERE THE CAR WAS MADE, THE CAR OBVIOUSLY WAS MADE WITH A DEFECT THAT POSES A SAFETY PROBLEM. I WILL NOT BE PURCHASING ANOTHER CHRYSLER CAR BECAUSE OF THIS. UNFORTUNATELY, MY AUNT PURCHASED A CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE BECAUSE SHE SAW AND LIKED MY CAR. I ALSO PLAN ON CONTACTING A LAWYER AND CHRYSLER CORPORATE OFFICE TODAY TO SEE IF ANYTHING CAN BE DONE.

THE REAR WINDOW SEPARATED FROM THE CONVERTIBLE TOP WHILE I HAD THE CAR PARKED OUTDOORS. I FOUND THE CAR WITH THE REAR WINDOW AREA OPEN AND THE GLASS LYING ON THE INTERIOR OF THE BACKLIGHT AREA. THE GLASS REMAINED CONNECTED TO THE TOP BY ABOUT 1/3 OF THE ORIGINAL GLUE. THE REMAINDER HAD COME APART FROM THE GLUE LEAVING THE GLASS MOSTLY DETACHED.

2 WEEKS AGO WHEN I WENT TO DRIVE MY CAR I NOTICED THAT THE REAR WINDOW SEPARATED FROM THE ROOF. I PROCEEDED TO DEPARTED OVER THE NEXT DAY. I TRIED TO REATTACH WITH AN ADHESIVE BUT IT IS FALLING. I FOUND ON LINE THAT THE COMPANY HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THIS PROBLEM, I DID CONTACT CHRYSLER BUT THE COMPANY STATED THAT MY VIN DID NOT MATCH THE COVERED VEHICLES. ONLINE I FOUND THAT THIS CONTINUES TO BE AN ISSUE WITH OTHER UNCOVERED CARS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE PARKED, THE WINDOW REAR GLASS SEPARATED AND DETACHED FROM THE FABRIC CONVERTIBLE TOP. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 27,700.
