THE REAR GLASS WINDOW FALLS OUT OF THE CONVERTIBLE ROOF AND INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. THIS IS CHRONIC WITH MOST CROSSFIRE ROADSTERS. EASILY INVESTIGATED AND VERIFIED. IT CAN HAPPEN WHILE MOVING OR STANDING STILL.
NHTSA complaint 11352601I HAVE A 2006 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE BACK WINDOW BECAME DETACHED FROM THE CANVAS. I WAS DRIVING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN JUST COMPLETELY FELL OUT.
NHTSA complaint 11278587I WAS DRIVING THE CROSSFIRE ONE EVENING AND IT SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET, I ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ENGINE SHUT OFF, THE EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR LIGHTS WENT OFF AS WELL. THE CAR ROLLED TO A STOP BLOCKING ALL THE TRAFFIC BEHIND ME. I TRIED TO RESTART THE ENGINE AND NOTHING HAPPENED, I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR JUMP STARTED, WHICH TOOK SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. I HAD NO PROBLEMS OR INDICATIONS THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG TILL THIS HAPPENED. MECHANICS HAVE PUT IN A NEW BATTERY, A CRANK POSITION SENSOR, AND A CAM POSITION SENSOR ON THE CAR. IT STARTED ONCE AFTER THAT, RAN FOR A FEW MINUTES THEN STOPPED. AFTER THAT IT WON'T START, EVEN WHEN BEING JUMPED. TRYING TO GET A ECM FROM THE DEALER. DEALER SAID THE COST IS $2,700.00, AND ORDERS ARE PENDING UNTIL JULY 1, 2019 BECAUSE OF SUPPLIER CHANGE. PLUS THERE IS A FLASHING CHARGE OF $147.00 TO RESET THIS ITEM FOR THE CAR. OTHER INTERNET USERS HAVE REPORTED HAVING THEIR CARS SUDDENLY STOP RUNNING WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAYS ALSO.
NHTSA complaint 11203410TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE REAR GLASS WINDOW SEPARATED FROM THE CONVERTIBLE ROOF TOP AND FELL INSIDE THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SZOTT M-59 DODGE LLC (2565 E. HIGHLAND RD. HIGHLAND CHARTER TWP, MI) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CONVERTIBLE ROOF TOP WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,000. *LN
NHTSA complaint 11099198CAR IS STATIONARY AND THE REAR WINDOW IS SEPARATING FROM THE CONVERTIBLE TOP
NHTSA complaint 11025148THE BACK WINDOW OF THE CROSSFIRE HAS SEPARATED FROM THE TOP. WE SAW THIS WHILE WE WERE WALKING AROUND IT IN GARAGE. I HAVE CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAY THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. WE BOUGHT THIS CAR IN 2008 AND IS KEPT IN A GARAGE. I ONLY HAVE 53000 MILES ON IT. I KNOW THEY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE WINDOWS FALLING OUT BECAUSE THEY A FIXING THEM IN 2005 MODELS BUT NOT THE 2006 MODELS. IS THERE ANY THING I CAN DO BECAUSE A REPLACEMENT TOP IS VERY EXPENSIVE. WE HAVE HAD THE WINDOW RESEALED TWICE AND IT WILL NOT HOLD.
NHTSA complaint 11011659THE VEHICLE'S REAR WINDOW IS SEPARATING FROM THE CONVERTIBLE TOP AND I AM AFRAID THAT IT WILL FLY OFF WHILE I'M DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND KILL SOMEONE BEHIND ME. I NOTICED THE ISSUE WHILE IT WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. CHRYSLER IS WELL AWARE OF THIS ISSUE WITH THE 2005 MODELS AND IS NOT COVERING ANY REPAIR OF ANY OTHER YEARS, YET HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WITH CARS FROM EACH YEAR HAVE COMPLAINTS ON MANY INTERNET FORUMS.
NHTSA complaint 10992774BACK WINDOW FELL OFF THE CONVERTIBLE TOP. I SEE THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE WITH 2005 (WHICH WAS REPAIRED/RECALL BY THE MFG). DEALER SAID IT WAS UP TO ME TO REPAIR, HAD TO SHIP THE TOP TO CALIFORNIA FOR A COMPLETE NEW TOP (~ $3K). I LIVE IN FLORIDA. DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW A BACK WINDOW FALLING OFF A MOVING CAR IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. ONLY ~ 22K MILES.
NHTSA complaint 10959573I OWN A 2006 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE. MY BACK WINDOW IS FALLING OUT AND IT SEEMS THAT CHRYSLER DOES NOT WANT TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THE FAULTY ADHESIVE AND FAULTY WORKMANSHIP OF THE CONVERTIBLE TOP. I CANNOT DRIVE MY CAR BECAUSE THE GLASS WILL COME OUT AND RESULT IN HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE, PEDESTRIAN OR OTHER OBJECT. THIS PROBLEM HAS LEFT THOUSANDS OF CROSSFIRE OWNERS IN A BAD SITUATION. CHRYSLER DID ISSUE A RECALL ON THE 2005'S UNDER TSB 23-035-11REVA BUT NOT FOR ANY OTHER MODEL YEARS. STATE FARM INSURANCE INFORMED ME THE SAME TOP/MANUFACTURER/ADHESIVE IS USED ON ALL CROSSFIRE MODEL YEARS THEREFORE IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER AN INSURANCE CLAIM. I'VE DRIVEN MY CAR 3 TIMES SINCE NOTICING THE WINDOW AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUES TO GET WORSE; BECOMING MORE AND MORE OF A SAFETY ISSUE. I WANT TO KNOW WHEN CHRYSLER WILL BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF ALL OF THE FAULTY EQUIPMENT THEY MARKETED AND SOLD TO TRUSTING CONSUMER. I AM ASKING THE NHTSA TO FORCE THE RECALL ON ALL CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLE TOPS, NO MATTER WHAT YEAR THEY WERE MANUFACTURED OR WHERE THEY SHIPPED. FAULTY EQUIPMENT IS FAULTY EQUIPMENT AND THE PROBLEM NEEDS TO RECTIFIED BY THE MANUFACTURER. I AM ASKING FOR THE HELP FROM THE NHTSA - THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS - THIS IS OBVIOUSLY NOT AN ISOLATED CASE. UNTIL THEN, MY CAR IS NOT ABLE TO BE DRIVEN.
NHTSA complaint 10894925WINDOW GLASS IS SEPARATING FROM THE FABRIC CONVERTIBLE TOP. I NOTED THIS LAST MONTH WITH THE CAR SITTING AT MY HOUSE. THIS CAR IS ALWAYS GARAGED AND HAS ONLY AROUND 73K MILES, ONE OWNER. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THE REAR WINDOW IS HEAT SEALED TO THE COVER. ONLY THE TOP PORTION REMAINS SEALED, THE SIDES AND BOTTOM HAVE SEPARATED. I HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH A CHRYSLER CASE WORKER FOR A MONTH TRYING TO GET THE COMPANY TO REPAIR OR REPLACE THE TOP BUT ONLY GET EMAILS ABOUT ONCE A WEEK REQUESTING THE SAME INFORMATION I HAVE ALREADY PROVIDED. I HAVE BEEN TOLD MY LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IS NO LONGER A "QUALIFIED DEALERSHIP" WITH NO FURTHER EXPLANATION. I HAVE ASKED FOR A PERSONAL PHONE CALL BUT TO NO AVAIL AT THIS POINT. THIS IS A DEFINITE SAFETY HAZARD AND I WANT THE COMPANY TO STEP UP AND FIX IT.

NHTSA complaint 10819605THE REAR WINDOW OF THE CONVERTIBLE TOP IS FALLING OUT. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE WAS BUILT IN OCTOBER 2005, BUT IS CONSIDERED A 2006 MODEL. CHRYSLER TSB 23-035-11 REV A COVERS THE PROBLEM FOR 2005 MODELS. THIS COMMON PROBLEM EFFECTS MORE THAN 2005 VEHICLES. ON 9-11-2015 CHRYSLER WAS CONTACTED (CASE # 27856344). THEY DENIED RESPONSIBILITY. CLAIMED (1) TSA ONLY APPLIED TO VEHICLES IN SOUTHERN STATES (I PROVIDED THEM WITH A REPAIR ORDER FROM WESTBURY CHRYSLER IN WESTBURY, NEW YORK THAT APPLIED THE TSB & PROVIDED NO CHARGE REPLACEMENT TOP. NEW YORK IS NOT A SOUTHERN STATE); (2) TSA ONLY APPLIED TO 2005 VEHICLES (I PROVIDED THEM INFORMATION WHERE TSB HAD BEEN APPLIED TO A 2008 VEHICLE). THIS VEHICLE IS GARAGED MOST DAYS AND HAS ONLY 34,590 MILES. THIS SAFETY PROBLEM IS DUE TO A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM THAT MANUFACTURE IS TRYING TO AVOID. VEHICLE IS IN ST. LOUIS, MO

NHTSA complaint 10766468REAR GLASS WINDOW ADHESIVE FAILED AND WNDOW IS FALLING OUT. GLASS WINDOW ON CONVERTABLE ROOF IS SEPARATING FROM VINAL. THE WINDOW WILL EVENTIALLY FALL OUT COMPLETELY CAUSING UNSAFE CONDITIONS. CALLED CHRYSLER AND WAS TOLD NO WARRANTY OR RECALL AND THAT WHOLE CONVERTABLE TOP WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED FOR APPROX $2000. THE CAR IS ALWAYS IN A GARAGE AND HAS VERY FEW MILES. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A POOR DESIGN. WINDOW COULD FALL OUT AND CAUSE SEVERE DAMAGE OR ACCIDENT.
NHTSA complaint 10760344TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ONE OF THE REAR WINDOWS WOULD NOT REMAIN IN A SECURE POSITION DUE TO THE ADHESIVE.

AS A RESULT, THE ROOF LINER ON THE TOP REAR OF THE VEHICLE WAS HANGING DOWN AND MADE IT DIFFICULT TO SEE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ADHESIVE AROUND THE REAR WINDSHIELD FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

NHTSA complaint 10716121GLASS WINDOW ADHESIVE FAILING. GLASS WINDOW IS SEPARATING FROM CLOTH ROOF. THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE IN ALL CROSSFIRES. TWO AREAS WHERE THE GLUE/ADHESIVE IS FAILING AND CAUSING UNSAFE CONDITIONS. CALLED CHRYSLER AND WAS TOLD NO WARRANTY OR RECALL. WINDOW COULD FALL OUT AND CAUSE SEVERE DAMAGE OR ACCIDENT.
NHTSA complaint 10716056IT APPEARS CHRYSLER HAS EXTENDED THEIR WARRANTY ON 2005 MODELS FOR THIS VERY SAME PROBLEM. WHAT EVER FIX THEY THINK THEY MADE FOR LATER MODELS DIDN'T WORK. THEY NEED TO COVER THIS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
NHTSA complaint 10714315THE HEADLIGHTS BECOME VERY PITTED AND FOGGY AND CAUSE IT HARD TO SEE WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. *TR
NHTSA complaint 10670801CHRYSLER EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THE 2005 MODEL AND ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THE BACK WINDOW ON THE CONVERTIBLES TEND TO COME UNGLUED AND FALL OUT. I OWN A 2006 MODEL AND I JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE WITH A CHRYSLER REP AND SHE SAID "THERE HAVE BEEN NO REPORTS" FOR THE 2006 BACK WINDOW COMING UNGLUED ON THE CONVERTIBLES SO I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR OUT OF MY POCKET AND "KEEP GOOD RECEIPTS" IN CASE CHRYSLER DECIDES TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF IT'S MANUFACTURING DEFECT IN THE 2006 MODEL. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THE SAME MANUFACTURING DEFECT CAN BE RECOGNIZED FOR ONE YEAR AND NOT THE NEXT. WHAT CAN CHRYSLER PRODUCE TO SHOW THAT THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM WITH THE 2006 CONVERTIBLES? ALSO, I SEE MANY PEOPLE COMPLAINING THAT THE 2006 MODEL HAS THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE REAR WINDOW FALLING OUT SO WHY AM I THE ONLY COMPLAINT ON RECORD WITH CHRYSLER??? THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE NOT A COSMETIC PROBLEM. WHY WOULDN'T CHRYSLER WANT THEIR VEHICLES TO BE SAFE? I WAS ALSO TOLD ON THE PHONE THAT THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT ARE MAINTENANCE ISSUES THAT ARE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE OWNER. I NEVER THOUGHT IN A MILLION YEARS THAT I IT WOULD BE MY RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE ALL THE WINDOWS STAYED ON THE CAR!!!! *TR
