THE CONVERTIBLE TOP BACK GLASS CAME UNGLUED AND FELL OUT THIS CAR ONLY HAS 29,000 MILES THE TOP AND THE CAR ARE IN LIKE NEW CONDITION BUT CHRYSLER WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.THIS CAR WAS SOLD NEW IN MICHIGAN SO IT IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. I LIVE IN NORTH CAROLINA WHERE IT WOULD BE WARRANTIED IF IT WAS SOLD NEW HERE.THIS CAR WAS BUILT IN GERMANY AND THE US SELLING POINT SHOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE SUFFERING FROM THIS SAME PROBLEM AND TO HAVE TO SPEND $3000.00 DOLLARS TO REPAIR THIS WHEN CHRYSLER IS ALREADY FIXING OTHERS IS JUST CRIMINAL. *JS

AT 28,000 MILES I NOTICED THE BACK WINDOW IS COMING LOOSE. THREE SIDES COMPLETELY SEPARATED. WENT TO AN UPHOLSTERER WHO ADVISED THE ENTIRE TOP NEEDS REPLACING. MANUFACTURER DEFECT CAUSES THE FABRIC TO SHRINK IN WARM TEMPERATURES PUSHING OUT BACK WINDOW. IT HAS BEEN RE-GLUED. THEY DID A FINE JOB AND ADVISED IT WOULD NOT HOLD AND THEY WERE RIGHT, IT IS NOW FLOPPING AROUND WITH ONLY ONE SIDE HOLDING IT IN PLACE. THIS IS DANGEROUS. THE 2005 WAS RECALLED FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM. SAME PROBLEM, SAME CAR, SAME MANUFACTURING DEFECT. IT IS MORE THAN TIME.

REAR WINDOW GLASS SEPARATED FROM THE FABRIC CONVERTIBLE TOP. NHTSA HAS CHRYSLER TSB ON FILE FOR SAME EXACT DEFECT, ISSUED BY CHRYSLER IN 2011, SPECIFYING 10 YEAR/100,000 MILE WARRANTY EXTENSION. CHRYSLER RESTRICTS THEIR REMEDY TO ONLY VEHICLES FIRST SOLD IN ALABAMA, FLORIDA, GEORGIA, LOUISIANA, MISSOURI, NORTH CAROLINA, SOUTH CAROLINA, TENNESSEE, AND TEXAS, DESPITE THE FACT THAT ALL OF THESE CARS WERE IMPORTED FROM THE SAME SOURCE AT THE SAME TIME. THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE IN THE PRODUCT DEFECT THAT HAS OCCURRED NATIONWIDE. THE NHTSA MUST FORCE CHRYSLER TO HELP ALL AFFECTED OWNERS! WHAT CHRYSLER IS DOING IS JUST SO WRONG! PLEASE HELP US!

STEERING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE A 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLE, THE KEY DOES NOT TURN. MY CAR DOES NOT TURN ON. THE STEERING WHEEL IS LOCKED. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY BIG ISSUE AS I FOUND POSTING FROM OTHER PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET WITH THE SAME ISSUE. ALL THE POSTING STATES THAT THE IGNITION GOES BAD WITHOUT ANY WARNING. CHRYSLER IS NOT ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE. I THINK THE IGNITION SWITCH NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. *TR

REAR WINDOW BECAME COMPLETELY DETACHED (LOOSE) FROM THE MOUNTING SURFACE. HAVING THE CHRYSLER GROUP SERVICE BULLETIN (23035-11 REV A) ON FILE, WHICH SPECIFIES A 10YR/100,000 MI. WARRANTY EXTENSION (2005 MODEL) ALONG WITH AN AMPLE AMOUNT OF EVIDENCE THAT THIS DEFECT HAS OCCURRED IN ALL REGIONS OF THE U.S., TO A VEHICLE THAT WAS IMPORTED FROM ONLY ONE SOURCE IN GERMANY; WHY HAS THE NHTSA FAILED TO REQUIRE THE CHRYSLER GROUP TO COVER ALL OF THE AFFECTED VEHICLES REGARDLESS OF WHICH STATE THEY WERE FIRST SOLD IN???

POWER TRAIN, STRUCTURE
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

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE SKREEM (SENTRY KEY REMOTE ENTRY MODULE?) FAILED WHILE MY DAUGHTER WAS PUMPING GAS. EVIDENTLY, THE CAR CANNOT BE STARTED IF THIS MODULE IS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY, THUS LEAVING MY 17 YEAR OLD STRANDED. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH, MOSTLY VIA CROSSFIREFORUM.ORG, IT APPEARS AS THOUGH THIS PART HAS AN EXTREMELY HIGH FAILURE RATE. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THE ENGINE AND COMPONENTS ARE ESSENTIALLY THE SAME AS THE MERCEDES SLK AND THAT MERCEDES RECALLED THE COMPATIBLE MODULE, BUT CHRYSLER DIDN'T. MOREOVER, THIS PARTICULAR PART CAN ONLY BE ORDERED AND PROGRAMMED BY A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP, WHICH MEANS NO OPTIONS AND BIG BUCKS! PLEASE LOOK INTO AND MONITOR PAST AND FUTURE COMPLAINTS CONCERNING THIS POORLY DESIGNED/MANUFACTURED ESSENTIAL COMPONENT IN THE CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND EFFORT ON OUR BEHALF. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING ACROSS A BRIDGE ON THE INTER COASTAL WATERWAY IN MELBOURNE FLORIDA, THE TOP PIECE OF THE METAL WINDSHIELD MOLDING WAS BLOWN LOOSE FROM THE VEHICLE AND SLAMMED AGAINST THE TOP. IF THE TOP HAD BEEN DOWN, PASSENGERS COULD HAVE POSSIBLE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED. DAMAGE TO OTHER VEHICLES COULD HAVE OCCURRED AND/OR INJURY TO PEDESTRIANS WAS POSSIBLE. I WAS NOT ABLE TO LOCATE THE METAL MOLDING. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING, ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING CAR AT 30 MPH JUST DIED STEERING LOCKED UP AND NO RESPONSE. AFTER SITTING FOR ABOUT AN HOUR AND RESTARTED. HAPPENED AGAIN ABOUT 2 DAYS LATER. HOOKED UP TO DIAGNOSIS MACHINE AND IT SAID IT WAS THE CAM SHAFT POSSESSION SENSOR THAT WAS REPLACED. CAR RAN FINE FOR ABOUT A WEEK AND THE ISSUE BEGAN AGAIN. HOOKED IT UP AND IT SAID IT WAS SAME PART. TOOK PART BACK GOT NEW ONE NO RESPONSE. TOOK CAR TO DEALER BUT MACHINE READ NO PROBLEM. CHANGED CRANK SHAFT SENSOR AFTER GOOGLING SIMILAR ISSUES BUT ISSUE STILL EXISTS. WE HAVE SPENT SEVERAL DOLLARS ON PARTS THAT DO NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. I AM JUST THANKFUL FOR THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED TO HAVE NOT BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY AND JUST ON A SIDE STREET CLOSE TO HOME. WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE U NEVER KNOW WHEN IT MAY STALL OUT AND IF OR WHEN IT WILL RESTART. AFTER GOGGLING MANY OTHERS ARE HAVING SAME ISSUE AND I DON'T KNOW HOW THIS COULD POSSIBLY BE SAFE MORE HOW NO ONE CAN RESOLVE OR FIX THE ISSUE. SO BASICALLY PAID $10,000 FOR A NICE YARD ORNAMNET AT THIS TIME. VERY FRUSTRATED AND WISHING CHRYSLER WOULD STEP UP. OWNING 3 DODGE/CHRYSLER VEHICLES AT THIS TIME IS TO THE POINT WHERE I WOULD NEVER OWN ANOTHER IF THIS ISSUE IS NOT RESOLVED SOON! *TR

VISIBILITY/WIPER, VISIBILITY:GLASS, SIDE/REAR
REAR WINDOW FAILURE -- ADHESIVE FAILS & REAR WINDOW FALLS OUT. THE FAILURE OF ANY WINDOW IS NOT NORMAL "WEAR AND TEAR." MANY OF THESE CARS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURE OVER THE YEARS. CHRYSLER FINALLY -- AFTER YEARS OF COMPLAINTS -- ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN #23-03511REVA IN 2011 THAT, ACCORDING TO CHRYSLER, COVERS ONLY VEHICLES DELIVERED IN NINE SOUTHEASTERN STATES. IT EXTENDS WARRANTY COVERAGE TO TEN YEARS (WHICH MEANS CHRYSLER WILL REPLACE THE CONVERTIBLE TOPS UNDER WARRANTY). ALL THESE CARS WERE BUILT IN BELGIUM. CHRYSLER HAD TROUBLE SELLING THESE VEHICLES SO IT AUCTIONED SOME VEHICLES INTERNALLY TO ITS DEALER NETWORK, WHO WERE THEN PERMITTED TO GET WHATEVER THEY COULD FOR BRAND NEW "USED" CARS. MINE WENT TO A DODGE DEALER IN FARMVILLE VA AND WAS SOLD TO ME (VIA EBAY) WITH 3 MILES ON THE ODOMETER IN MID-2007 OR SO. 33 MOS. OF "NEW CAR WARRANTY" REMAINED WHEN I REC'D IT HERE IN HAWAII. WHEN THAT WARRANTY EXPIRED I PURCHASED AN EXTENDED "PLATINUM" WARRANTY. THE REAR WINDOW FELL OUT OF THE CONVERTIBLE TOP THREE MONTHS AFTER THE INITIAL 36 MONTH WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED, THE EXTENDED "PLATINUM" WARRANTY WOULDN'T COVER REPAIRS. THE CAR HAD APPROX. 8000 MILES ON IT. AS NOTED BEFORE, CHRYSLER ISSUED THE SERVICE BULLETIN MENTIONED ABOVE IN 2011 BUT ARBITRARILY EXCLUDED SOME VEHICLES DESPITE THE PROBLEM OCCURRING IN CARS ALL OVER THE NATION. I GUESS THAT THEY THOUGHT THAT THE PROBLEM WOULD HAPPEN ONLY IN CERTAIN CLIMES -- BUT THERE ARE MORE THAN NINE U.S. STATES THAT GET HOT WEATHER, E.G., HAWAII EXPERIENCES HOT SUN YEAR-ROUND. AND MINE FELL OUT DESPITE VERY LOW MILEAGE AND THE CAR BEING GARAGED WHEN NOT IN USE. I REQUEST NHTSA DEMAND THAT CHRYSLER EXTEND COVERAGE TO ALL VEHICLES THAT FIT THE CRITERIA, NOT JUST THOSE "DELIVERED" IN NINE OF FIFTY STATES. THE FAILURE OF ANY WINDOW IS NOT NORMAL "WEAR AND TEAR" NO MATTER WHERE IT HAPPENS. THANKS. *TR
