VISIBILITY:GLASS, SIDE/REAR
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

THIS BULLETIN SUPERSEDES SERVICE BULLETIN 23-035-11, DATED SEPTEMBER 01, 2011, WHICH SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM YOUR FILES. THIS IS A COMPLETE REVISION AND NO ASTERISKS HAVE BEEN USED TO HIGHLIGHT REVISIONS. SUBJECT: CONVERTIBLE SOFT TOP BACK GLASS LOOSE AND/OR DETACHED FROM FABRIC (10 YR. / 100,000 MILE WARRANTY EXTENSION) OVERVIEW: THIS BULLETIN INVOLVES INSPECTING THE CONVERTIBLE SOFT TOP BACK GLASS AND IF NECESSARY REPLACING THE CONVERTIBLE TOP COVER.

SYMPTOM/CONDITION: THE CUSTOMER MAY EXPERIENCE CONVERTIBLE SOFT TOP BACK GLASS LOOSE AND/OR DETACHED FROM FABRIC. DIAGNOSIS: IF THE CUSTOMER DESCRIBES THE SYMPTOM, PERFORM THE REPAIR PROCEDURE. MY REAR GLASS FELL OUT OF MY CONVERTIBLE WHILE IT WAS SITTING STILL, I DID MY RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2005 YEAR MODEL. I FOUND THAT CHRYSLER PUT A TEN YEAR 100,000 MILE WARRANTY ON THE TOP WHICH IS COVERED BY THE SERVICE BULLETIN LISTED ABOVE. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND WAS TOLD THAT NOT ALL ARE COVERED BECAUSE THEY ARE STATE SPECIFIC WHICH IS BULL AND THEY SHOULD COVER ALL TOP THAT DEVELOP THE PROBLEM NO MATTER WHERE YOU LIVE, A DEFECT IS A DEFECT NO MATTER WHERE YOU LIVE. *TR

VISIBILITY/WIPER, STRUCTURE
THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVING AT A RATE OF SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH AND DETECTED AN UNUSUALLY LOUD RATTLING NOISE FROM BEHIND. AFTER APPROACHING AND STOPPING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE OWNER/DRIVER TURNED AND LOOKED TO DISCOVER THAT APPROXIMATELY 1/4TH OF THE ENTIRE REAR WINDOW ASSEMBLY HAD DETACHED FROM THE CONVERTIBLE TOP. THE ADHESIVE THAT ATTACHES THE SOFT-TOP CANVAS MATERIAL TO THE REAR WINDOW HAS FAILED. THE OWNER IS CONCERNED THAT THE REMAINING ADHESIVE WILL ALSO FAIL RESULTING IN THE ENTIRE WINDOW FALLING OUT AND POTENTIALLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. OWNER DEEMS THE VEHICLE AS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. A PRIOR COMPLAINT OF A SIMILAR INCIDENT (ALSO WITH THE 2008 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE ROADSTER) WITH THIS SAME ISSUE WAS RECENTLY FILED ON MAY 20TH, 2013(NHTSA-ID-NUMBER: 10412807 & VIN# [XXX]). THIS PRIOR INCIDENT OCCURRED ON MAY 4TH, 2013. CHRYSLER HANDLED THIS COMPLAINT WITH A FULL REPLACEMENT OF THE CONVERTIBLE TOP ASSEMBLY. THE MAY 20TH, 2013 COMPLAINT REPORT ALSO CITES THAT THIS APPEARS TO BE THE SAME PROBLEM CHRYSLER HAS HAD WITH THIS VEHICLE SINCE THE 2005 MODEL YEAR WHEN LARGE NUMBERS OF THESE FAILURES WERE REPORTED. CHRYSLER FINALLY ISSUED A RECALL IN SEPTEMBER OF 2011 FOR THE 2005 VEHICLES BUT LIMITED THE RECALL TO ONLY VEHICLES IN JUST EIGHT STATES FOR A REASON THEY DID NOT DISCLOSE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE REAR WINDOW CAME UNGLUED FROM THE CONVERTIBLE TOP WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. IF THE DEFROSTER CABLE HAD NOT HELD THE WINDOW WOULD HAVE FLOWN OUT, AND COULD HAVE SERIOUSLY HARMED OTHER MOTORISTS. CHRYSLER KNOWS OF THIS ISSUE AND HAS ISSUED TSB 23-035-11 WHICH ACKNOWLEDGES THE DEFECT AND WILL REPAIR IT, BUT ONLY FOR CARS SENT TO CERTAIN DEALERSHIPS. THIS SHOULD BE FIXED ON ALL 2005 CROSSFIRES. THE VEHICLE IS NOW UNDRIVEABLE AND HAS TO HAVE THE ENTIRE TOP REPLACED. *TR

THE 2005 (ONLY) CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLE HAS A FAULTY SEAL BONDING THE BACKGLASS TO THE TOP CAUSING IT TO BECOME DISLODGED FROM THE TOP TRAVELING OR PARKED. CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE DEFECT CALLING IT A "TRIM" PIECE. A VEHICLE TRAVELING ON THE EXPRESSWAY OR HIGHWAY LOSING ITS' BACKGLASS IS NOT A TRIM BUT A DANGEROUS DEFECT THAT MUST BE RECALLED. MODELS AFTER 2005 HAD THIS DEFECT CORRECTED. *TR

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
