2006 Chrysler Crossfire Roadster

AT 28,000 MILES I NOTICED THE BACK WINDOW IS COMING LOOSE. THREE SIDES COMPLETELY SEPARATED. WENT TO AN UPHOLSTERER WHO ADVISED THE ENTIRE TOP NEEDS REPLACING. MANUFACTURER DEFECT CAUSES THE FABRIC TO SHRINK IN WARM TEMPERATURES PUSHING OUT BACK WINDOW. IT HAS BEEN RE-GLUED. THEY DID A FINE JOB AND ADVISED IT WOULD NOT HOLD AND THEY WERE RIGHT, IT IS NOW FLOPPING AROUND WITH ONLY ONE SIDE HOLDING IT IN PLACE. THIS IS DANGEROUS. THE 2005 WAS RECALLED FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM. SAME PROBLEM, SAME CAR, SAME MANUFACTURING DEFECT. IT IS MORE THAN TIME.

ADHESIVE HOLDING REAR WINDOW IN PLACE BEGAN TO SEPARATE FROM CONVERTIBLE TOP. OTHER CROSSFIRE OWNERS HAVE REPORTED TOTAL FAILURE. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE IF/WHEN THE REAR WINDOW COMPLETELY SEPARATES AND DETACHES FROM THE VEHICLE AND POSES A HAZARD TO OTHERS I.E., PEDESTRIAN, MOTORCYCLE RIDERS, ETC. ALL THE TOPS WERE PRODUCED BY THE SAME MANUFACTURER (KARMANN) ALTHOUGH CHRYSLER IS ONLY WILLING TO REPLACE CERTAIN 2005 MODELS BASED ON THE STATE THEY WERE ORIGINALLY SOLD. THIS MAKES NO SENSE, CHRYSLER AND THE NHTSA SHOULD RECALL ALL TOPS PRODUCED AND REPLACE THEM WITH A TOP WITH THE REAR WINDOW ATTACHED WITH SOME TYPE OF IMPROVED ADHESIVE SO THE RISK TO OTHERS IS ELIMINATED. *TR

I RECEIVED A LACERATION ON MY LEFT HAND INDEX FINGER WHILE GRASPING THE DRIVER SIDE CHROME COVERED DOOR HANDLE. IT APPEARS AS THOUGH THE METALLIC CHROME COVERING HAS A SEAM ON THE INSIDE OF THE HANDLE WHICH BECOMES RAZOR SHARP. I HAVE USED A LAYER OF CLEAR PACKING TAPE OVER THE SEAM TO KEEP FROM REPEATING THIS INCIDENT AND WILL DO THE PASSENGER SIDE AS A PREEMPTIVE MEASURE. *TR
