2006 Chrysler Crossfire

IGNITION PROBLEMS. WHEN LOOKING ONLINE IT APPEARS THAT THIS CAR HAS A HISTORY OF IGNITION PROBLEMS. CAN'T GET THE CAR TO START. FEELS LIKE THE IGNITION IS LOOSE. HAVE TO TURN AND WIGGLE AND HOPE IT STARTS. JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR AND VERY DISAPPOINTED. HOPE THERE IS A RECALL SINCE IT SEEMS TO BE SUCH A PROBLEM FOR SO MANY PEOPLE!!!! *TR

I OWN A 2006 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLE.ON AUGUST 29,2014 WHILE PARKED AT A STORE MY BACKGLASS CAME UNGLUED FROM THE TOP.I WAS TOLD THAT THE ENTIRE CANVAS TOP HAS TO BE REPLACED.I WENT ONLINE AND THIS WAS CONFIRMED.I ALSO SAW NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE.THEY SAY IT COMES UNGLUED DUE TO HEAT.MY CAR IS ALWAYS KEPT IN A GARAGE AND OTHER THAN THIS IN EXCELLENT CONDTION.THIS IS CLEARLY A CHRYSLER DEFECT AS THEY ARE NOT INSTALLING THE BACKGLASS WITH A SEAL THAT HOLDS UP UNDER HEAT.IF THIS HAD HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING THERE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES.I & OTHERS AM NOT SURE WHAT TO DO,SO I HOPE THIS WILL BE HANDLED URGENTLY.THANK YOU *TR

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 PURCHASED THIS CAR NEW IN 2007 FROM A CHRYSLER DEALER. HAVING HEARD AFTER I PURCHASED IT, THAT THERE WERE CONCERNS ABOUT THE INSTALLATION OF THE REAR WINDOW COMING LOOSE. ARMED WITH THAT KNOWLEDGE, I PURPOSELY DID NOT STRESS THE TOP OR WINDOW AREA, IN FACT, NEVER HAD THE TOP DOWN AS THAT WOULD STRESS THE TAUGHTNESS OF THE WINDOW. NOW, 2014 THE WINDOW IS COMING LOOSE. I TOOK IT TO THE PURCHASING DEALER AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NO RECOURSE OR REPAIR AND A NEW REPLACEMENT TOP WOULD BE NEEDED BUT THAT IT WOULD PROBABLY DO THE SAME THING IN TIME BECAUSE THE CONSTRUCTION METHOD WAS THE SAME AS BEFORE. THIS DEFECT IS WELL KNOWN TO CROSSFIRE OWNERS AND MANY OF THESE TOPS HAVE BEEN REPAIRED OR REPLACED BY SOME CHRYSLER DEALERS. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK, THE REAR CONVERTIBLE WINDOW DISLODGED FROM THE CANVAS BY 80%.I SLOWLY DROVE THE VEHICLE TO TWO LOCAL AUTHORIZED CHRYSLER DEALERSHIPS FOR INSPECTIONS. BOTH DEALERSHIPS STATED THAT THE 1/2' OF ADHESIVE THAT GLUED THE WINDOW TO THE CANVAS HAD DETERIORATED AND CAUSED THE WINDOW TO COME LOOSE. THE SECOND AUTHORIZED DEALER TOOK PHOTOS AS WELL AS I DID DOCUMENTING THE DAMAGE. THIS CAR IS RATED BY DAIMLER-BENZ OF SPEEDS UP TO 154 MPH. IF THE WINDOW WOULD HAVE COMPLETELY DISLODGED IT WOULD HAVE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED ANYONE TRAVELING BEHIND ME. I WAS APPALLED BY THE CHEAP QUALITY CONSTRUCTION AND WORKMANSHIP OF THE INSTALL OF THIS WINDOW. I HAVE PHOTOS DOCUMENTING THE QUALITY (OR LACK OF) THE DESIGN. I HAVE READ SOME ARTICLES ON THE INTERNET WHERE OWNERS CLAIM THAT THEY (CHRYSLER-DAIMLER-BENZ) HAVE REPLACED ROOFS BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT. I BELIEVE IN THE INTEREST OF SAFETY, THAT THESE VEHICLES SHOULD BE MANDATORY RECALLED AND FORCED TO REPAIR THESE SERIOUS DEFECTS. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE AND THE I NOTICE THE REAR WINDOW STARTED DETACHING FROM THE TOP, CONTACTED DEALER, WITH NO HELP, CONTACTED THE CHRYSLER CORP. NO RESOLUTION, THEY INFORMED ME THAT MY VIN NUMBER DID NOT WARRANT , ME GETTING MY BACK WINDOW FIXED , ALTHOUGH THE 2005 HAD A RECALL ON THE REAR WINDOW, I INFORMED THEM THAT THE CAR WAS CREATED IN THAT SAME YEAR BUT SOLD AS A 06, THEY CARED LESS ABOUT MY PROBLEM. THANKS CHRYSLER FOR YOUR GREAT CONCERN, ABOUT YOUR CUSTOMERS NOT! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR WINDSHIELD BECAME DETACHED FROM THE CONVERTIBLE TOP ON THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER'S SIDES AS WELL AS THE BOTTOM. THE WINDSHIELD WAS ONLY BEING HELD BY THE TOP PORTION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 27,000. *JB

AS THE CASE WITH MANY OTHER PEOPLE...MY BACK WINDOW IS JUST FALLING OUT AS WELL. THE ONLY REMAINING ADHESIVE IS ON THE BOTTOM OF THE GLASS. AFTER SOME RESEARCH I FOUND THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AND FIGURED CHRYSLER SURELY WOULD BE TAKING CARE OF THIS ONLY TO FIND THAT THEY WILL ONLY FIX THE 2005'S???? WHY NOT THE REST OF US? THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 30K MILES SO IT'S NOT NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. THIS IS 100% A FACTORY DEFECT. IF YOU HAVE A 2006 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE IT'S NOT A MATTER OF IF, IT'S A MATTER OF WHEN THE BACK WINDOW WILL FALL OUT. BUT DO NOT EXPECT THE MANUFACTURER TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. BUYER BEWARE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR WINDSHIELD BECAME DETACHED FROM THE CONVERTIBLE TOP. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BOTH THE DEALER AND A PRIVATE MECHANIC, WHO BOTH STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY THE ADHESIVE USED TO ATTACH THE WINDSHIELD. THE FAILURE WAS REPORTED TO THE MANUFACTURER, WHO REFUSED TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE WITH REPAIRS. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 31,960.
