PURCHASED CROSSFIRE IN CALIFORNIA IN DECEMBER OF 2012 WITH 45000 MILES ON IT. COMMENCING JANUARY 2013, REAR GLASS COMMENCED COMING DETACHED FROM CANVAS CONVERTIBLE TOP. CONDITION CONTINUES AND IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR BOTH PASSENGERS AND DRIVERS BEHIND CAR. IF GLASS BREAKS LOOSE IT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS BODILY HARM. CHRYSLER IS VERY WELL AWARE OF THE SITUATION AND HAS PAID TO REPAIR THE VEHICLES ON A SPORADIC BASIS. THEIR LAST COMMENTS TO ME WAS DUE TO MY VEHICLE BEING FIRST DELIVERED IN CALIFORNIA, IT WAS EXEMPT FROM THE RECALL FOR EIGHT SOUTHERN STATES. THIS IS QUITE PERPLEXING AS THE VEHICLES ARE IDENTICAL, WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS. ONLY IN DIFFERENT STATES. I HAVE JUST LEARNED THAT THEY REPLACED THE TOP ON A VEHICLE IN CHICAGO. CLEARLY NOT ONE OF THE STATES NAMED IN THE SOUTH. I WOULD LIKE THEM TO HONOR WHAT THEY ARE DOING ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. PERHAPS IT IS BECAUSE THEY PROBABLY SOLD THE MOST OF THESE VEHICLES HERE IN CALIFORNIA. THEY ARE ALSO EXCUSING THEMSELVES FROM DOING REPAIRS BECAUSE THE CARS WERE NEVER CLIMATE TESTED IN CALIFORNIA. IF NOT, THEY ARE RELYING ON TESTING DONE ON THE MB SLK. AN IDENTICAL VEHICLE. PLEASE HELP ME GET MY VEHICLE REPAIRED UNDER THE WARRANTY EXTENDED TO SO MANY OTHERS. *TR

WHEN TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD I NOTICED THAT THE GLASS REAR WINDOW ON MY CONVERTIBLE 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE ROADSTER HAD BECOME PARTIALLY UNATTACHED FROM THE CANVAS TOP AND WAS HITTING AGAINST THE BODY WHEN I WOULD HIT A BUMP. WHEN I GOT HOME I DID AN INTERNET SEARCH ABOUT HOW TO FIX IT, AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE CROSSFIRE REAR WINDOW OF THIS MODEL YEAR AND ALTHOUGH CHRYSLER ADMITS THE PROBLEM THEY ARE ONLY FIXING/COVERING THE REPAIR BASED ON THE VIN #. IF I WOULD HAVE KNOWN THIS I WOULD HAVE BOUGHT A SOLSTICE OR S2000. I CAN'T AFFORD A NEW TOP WHICH IS THEIR ONLY SOLUTION OF COURSE AT MY OWN EXPENSE. I TOOK IT TO SEVERAL SHOPS TO SEE IF THEY WOULD RE-GLUE IT FOR ME. THE TOP IS MINT EXCEPT FOR THE LOOSE WINDOW. C'MON CHRYSLER MAN UP AND FIX THIS FOR EVERY OWNER NOT JUST SOME OF THEM! *JS
