2005 Chrysler Crossfire

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER CROSS FIRE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR WINDOW ADHESIVE WAS FRACTURING AND CAUSED THE GLASS WINDOW TO FALL OUT. WHILE THE CONVERTIBLE TOP WAS BEING OPENED, THE MOTOR FAILED WHICH CAUSED THE TOP TO ONLY OPEN PARTIALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THERE WERE NO RECALLS AND THAT THE ENTIRE CONVERTIBLE TOP WOULD NEED REPLACING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 79,260.

I HAVE A 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE THAT I PURCHASED 1 YEAR AGO AND THE REAR WINDOW HAS CAME APART FROM THE CONVERTIBLE TOP FABRIC. THE TOPS ARE ON BACKORDER AT CHRYSLER AND I HAVE ONLY FOUND ONE SHOP IN CALIFORNIA THAT HAS A REPLACEMENT, BUT I HAVE TO HAVE THE FULL TOP FRAME REMOVED AND SHIPPED TO THEM FOR REPLACEMENT. THE TOP ALONE IS 3K. IN THE INTERIM MY EXPENSIVE CAR SITS IN THE GARAGE COLLECTING DUST. TRULY NOT ACCEPTABLE. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE THAT I HAVE OWNED FOR FIVE MONTHS. ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO THE REAR WINDOW FELL OUT OF MY CONVERTIBLE. FROM WHAT I HAVE FOUND OUT THIS SEEMS TO BE A CONTINUING PROBLEM WITH THIS YEARS MODEL. HAVE NOT SEEN ANY INFO ABOUT ANY OTHER CROSSFIRE MODELS AFTER 2005 WITH THIS PROBLEM. MAYBE THEY REALIZED THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM AND FIXED IT FROM 2006 ON UP CALLED TO SEE IF MY EXTENDED SERVICE CONTRACT COVERS THIS, WAS TOLD NO IT WAS A TRIM ISSUE MY INSURANCE WILL HELP COVER THE COST TO REPLACE BUT THAT DOESN'T SEEM FAIR TO THEM, THE CARS NOT WRECKED. LOOKS LIKE TWO GRAND APROX. TO REPLACE THE TOP, ( PROBABLY WITH A 2006 OR NEWER TOP ! ) *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE SRT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR HATCHBACK WINDOW FRACTURED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE WINDOW WAS REPAIRED YET THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE DEALER REPAIRED THE WINDOW A SECOND TIME YET THE WINDOW FRACTURED AGAIN WITHIN ONE MONTH. THE DEALER THEN ADVISED HIM TO CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER. THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AGAIN AND THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THEY WOULD INSTALL A NEW CONVERTIBLE TO REMEDY THE FAILURE, AT THE CONTACT'S EXPENSE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT FURTHER REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 16,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 17,000.

IN 2009, I PURCHASED A 2005 CROSSFIRE, IT WAS IN PERFECT CONDITION WITH ONLY 32000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE KEPT IT IN MY GARAGE. THIS LAST APRIL, I NOTICED THE REAR GLASS WINDOW BEGAN TO SEPARATE FROM THE CANVAS TOP. I WAS SURPRISED TO FIND OUT IT IS ONLY SUPPORTED BY ADHESIVE GLUE. IT IS A GLASS WINDOW, WHAT WERE THEY THINKING, IT NEEDS BETTER SUPPORT. CHRYSLER HAS BEEN OF LITTLE HELP AND I HATE TO REPLACE DUE TO THE COST DUE AND BECAUSE THE TOP ITSELF IS STILL IN GOOD CONDITION. THEY NEED TO REMEDY THIS AS IT SEEMS TO BE A DEFECT. *TR

BACK GLASS COMPLETELY FELL OUT OF 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLE TOP. THE REST OF THE TOP IS IN IMMACULATE CONDITION. I HAVE SEARCHED AROUND AND THIS APPEARS TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE SUFFERED BY CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLE OWNERS. I HAVE NOT BEEN PROVIDED ANY ASSISTANCE FROM THE DEALERSHIP, AND IT IS CLEAR THIS IS A DEFECTIVE ISSUE. *TR
