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

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.

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

AT 70 MPH DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE REAR WINDOW SEPARATED FROM THE CONVERTIBLE TOP. SCARED ME TO DEATH AND NOT KNOWING WHAT HAPPENED I PUSHED THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP AND ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED BY THE CAR BEHIND ME. AFTER A SHORT ONLINE RESEARCH I FOUND THE SERVICE BULLETIN TSB 23-035-11 THAT EXTENDS THE WARRANTY ON THE CONVERTIBLE TOPS TO 10 YEARS/100,000 MILES TO SOME STATES MOSTLY SOUTHERN. HOWEVER, AFTER CONTACTING CHRYSLER AND TALKING TO [XXX] ID [XXX] I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT CHRYSLER WOULD DO ABOUT IT BECAUSE THE BULLETIN REFERS TO 2005 MODELS. I TOLD HER TO ESCALATE THE COMPLAINT AND LATER I'VE GOT A CALL FROM A [XXX] PRETENDING SHE WAS A SUPERVISOR AND TOLD ME THAT SHE NEVER HEARD OF ANY REAR WINDOWS SEPARATING FROM THE CLOTH CONVERTIBLE TOP. I EXPLAINED TO HER THAT THIS IS A FACTORY DEFECT AND THERE ARE HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE, COMPLAINING ALL OVER THE INTERNET ABOUT IT, BUT SHE REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. AFTER SUGGESTING TO HER TO LOOK UP THE BULLETIN NO TSB 23-035-11 SHE SAID THERE IS NO SUCH THING. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AND CHRYSLER HAS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT BEFORE SOMEONE DIES AS A RESULT OF THESE WINDOWS SEPARATING FROM THE CONVERTIBLE TOP.

THE REAR WINDOW ON MY 2006 CROSSFIRE CAME UNGLUED AND FELL OUT. HAVE TALKED WITH CHRYSLER AND THIS IS A MAJOR CONCERN ON THE 2005 CROSSFIRES AND CHRYSLER HAS EXTENDED THE CONVERTIBLE TOP WARRANTY TO 10 YEAR/100,000 MILES. THE 2006 MODELS ARE NOT COVERED BUT STILL SUFFER THE SAME PROBLEM. THE CONVERTIBLE TOPS FOR ALL YEARS OF CROSSFIRES ARE THE SAME. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE TOP BLEW OUT TRAVELING AT 40 MPH AND STRUCK A STREET SIGN, WHAT IF IT STRUCK A CAR OR PEDESTRIAN AND INJURED, MAIMED OR KILLED ANOTHER PERSON. THERE IS A MAJOR DESIGN A FLAW WITH THE REAR WINDOW TO CANVAS TOP GLUE AND CHRYSLER SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND OFFER TO FIX OR REPLACE ALL CONVERTIBLE TOPS ON THE CROSSFIRES. *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 RECEIVED A LACERATION ON MY LEFT HAND INDEX FINGER WHILE GRASPING THE DRIVER SIDE CHROME COVERED DOOR HANDLE. IT APPEARS AS THOUGH THE METALLIC CHROME COVERING HAS A SEAM ON THE INSIDE OF THE HANDLE WHICH BECOMES RAZOR SHARP. I HAVE USED A LAYER OF CLEAR PACKING TAPE OVER THE SEAM TO KEEP FROM REPEATING THIS INCIDENT AND WILL DO THE PASSENGER SIDE AS A PREEMPTIVE MEASURE. *TR

THE CONVERTIBLE TOP REAR GLASS WINDOW FELL OUT OF THE TOP, I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER MY CHRYSLER 8 YEAR 80000 MILE WARRANTY BUT THEY HAVE A RECALL FOR THE 2005 CROSSFIRE'S AND ONLY IN CERTAIN STATES. IF THIS WINDOW BLOWS OUT RUNNING 70 MPH DOWN THE FREEWAY SOMEONE COULD BE INJURED OR KILLED. THEY SENT ME TO A REPAIR SHOP TO HAVE IT RE-GLUED AT MY EXPENSE. I CALLED AND TRIED TO GET CHRYSLER TO FIX THIS THE RIGHT WAY BUT WAS REFUSED ANY SATISFACTION. *TR

WHEN I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE IN DECEMBER 2007, I DID NOT HAD ANY MAJOR PROBLEMS. UNTIL... ON OR ABOUT THE FIRST OF JUNE, 2012, I PARKED MY CAR AND NOTICED THAT THE REAR WINDOW HAD COME A PART FROM THE CONVERTIBLE TOP. SINCE I HAD NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT, I BEGAN TO RESEARCH ONLINE TO SEE IF OTHER CONSUMERS HAD EXPERIENCED THIS WINDOW ISSUE. SITE AFTER SITE, COMPLAINT AFTER COMPLAINT WAS READ. WITH SO MANY PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM WITHOUT A SUITABLE RESPONSE OR SOLUTION TO ITS CONSUMER, THIS HAS BECOME A SERIOUS PROBLEM, A DEFECT THAT MUST BE RESOLVED AND THE CARS SHOULD BE RECALLED. THE POTENTIAL TO ENDANGER LIVES FAR OUTWEIGHS ANY OTHER CONSIDERATION. WHEN SOMEONE BUYS A CONVERTIBLE, ONE DOESN'T EXPECT TO BE DRIVING ALONG AND THE GLASS COMES FLYING DOWN AND OUT. IT'S NOT SAFE! THE ONLY REPAIR SOLUTION IS THE ENTIRE TOP MUST BE REPLACED (COSTING UPWARDS OF $2100) DUE TO NO NEGLIGENCE OF THE CONSUMER. IF I HAVE READ THESE COMPLAINTS, I'M CERTAIN THAT CHRYSLER HAS AS WELL. YEARS OF THIS PROBLEM HAS PERSISTED. STILL POOR PRODUCTION OF THIS SAME PRODUCT AND NO RECALL BY CHRYSLER. THE COMPANY HASN'T SKIMPED ON THE SALES PRICES ON THIS VEHICLE. I DON'T EXPECT IT TO TAKE SHORTCUTS WHEN IT COMES TO CONSUMER SAFETY. WHY SHOULD THE CONSUMER SUFFER LOSS OF SAFETY AND WELFARE? I HUMBLY ASK THAT THESE VEHICLES BE RECALLED. *TR
