WHEN YOU PUT THE KEY IN TO START ENGINE IT WON'T TURN IN ANY DIRECTION. CAN NOT REMOVE KEY. SHOOK, JIGGLED, TURNED , KEY WITH NO MOVEMENT. TOOK ABOUT 3 HOURS OF SHAKING KEY IN LOCK BEFORE IT WORKED. HAS DONE THIS EVERY TIME THE LAST FEW TIMES I DROVE CAR. NOW THE CAR JUST SITS IN THE DRIVEWAY. I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT WILL NOT EVER TURN AGAIN. WOULD NOT LIKE TO HAVE THE ENGINE DIE ON FREEWAY AND HAVE TO RE-START THE ENGINE WITH THE KEY ACTING THE WAY THAT IT DOES, WOULD BE SITTING IN TRAFFIC SHAKING THE KEY FOR 2 TO 3 HOURS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR WINDSHIELD BECAME DETACHED FROM THE CONVERTIBLE TOP. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER BUT THEY REFUSED TO ASSIST WITH THE REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE WAS REPORTED TO THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 69,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 73,000.

THE REAR GLASS WINDOW IN THE CONVERTIBLE SOFT TOP HAS COME UNGLUED AND IS FALLING OUT. THIS IS A SEVERE ISSUE WITH THIS MAKE OF CAR AND CHRYSLER REFUSES TO REPAIR OR REPLACE IT. AT ONE TIME, CHRYSLER AGREED TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY ON THESE VEHICLES TO 10 YEARS OR 100,000 MILES BUT ONLY TO CROSSFIRES THAT WERE SHIPPED TO CERTAIN SOUTHERN STATES, SUCH AS SOUTH CAROLINA, GEORGIA, FLORIDA, TENNESSEE, ALABAMA, MISSISSIPPI AND TEXAS. THEY FEEL ONLY THE CARS THAT ARE IN THESE WARMER CLIMATE STATES WILL BE AFFECTED. MY CAR IS A 2005 MODEL THAT I PURCHASED AS A USED VEHICLE FROM CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IN JULY 2012, WHO DID NOT TELL ME ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND REFUSE TO REPAIR OR REPLACE THE TOP. IT WAS SHIPPED TO MI IN 2005 AND THEN WAS REGISTERED IN SC IN 2006. MY FEELING IS ALL OF THE AFFECTED CARS SHOULD BE UNDER WARRANTY AS IT'S A MANYFACTURER DEFECT. NOW I WILL BE RESPONSIBLE TO PAY AN ADDITIONAL $2,300 FOR A NEW TOP THAT WILL EVENTURALLY HAVE THE REAR WINDOW FALL OUT AGAIN. GOOGLE THIS PROBLEM AND YOU WILL SEE IT'S NATIONWIDE IF NOT WORLDWIDE. A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT NEEDS TO BE STARTED AGAINST CHRYSLER AND MERCEDES. *TR

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
