I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR. THE CUP HOLDER IS STUCK IN THE VERTICAL POSITION RIGHT WHERE MY ELBOW GOES WHEN CONTROLLING THE SHIFTER THUS MAKING IT DIFFICULT AND POSSIBLY DANGEROUS TO DO SO. I WENT ON THE INTERNET TO INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE AND FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS FROM CROSSFIRE OWNERS OF ALL YEARS ABOUT THIS VERY THING. CHRYSLER WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT IT INCLUDING JUST DISCONNECTING THE SPRING ON THE CUP HOLDER SO THAT IT WILL STAY DOWN. THE FIX IS OVER $300 IF YOU GET CHRYSLER TO DO IT, AND THEY INSTALL THE SAME DEFECTIVE PART AGAIN. NOT A GOOD FIX. I THINK IT IS DANGEROUS, VERY DISTRACTING WHILE DRIVING. *TR

MY REAR WINDOW HAS STARTED TO SEPARATE FROM THE CONVERTIBLE TOP MY CAR WAS PARKED AND HAS NOT BEEN DRIVEN SUDDENLY I LOOKED AT MY CAR AND I NOTICED MY REAR WINDOW HAS STARTED TO SEPARATE FROM MY CONVERTIBLE, I'VE CALLED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE WHO WAS VERY VERY RUDE AND NOT HELPFUL I'VE CALLED CARMAX AUSTIN, CARMAX HOUSTON, TEAM DODGE CHRYSLER HUNTSVILLE AND THEY ALL TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT FIX MY CAR I WAS REFERRED TO A [XXX] WITH CHRYSLER CORPORATION HE HAS NOT RETURNED MY PHONE CALL NOR EMAILS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND IT SHOULD BE FIXED!! CHRYSLER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE MY CAR IS A 2005 CONVERTIBLE AND THEY ARE TELLING ME STILL I'M IN TEXAS THAT'S RIDICULOUS THAT THEY CANNOT FIX MY CAR THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION!

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,000. THE CONSUMER STATED THE DEFECT WAS THE ADHESIVE THAT HELD THE REAR GLASS TO THE CONVERTIBLE TOP.
