I NOTICED MY READ WINDOW ON CONVERTIBLE TOP WAS COMING LOOSE. RESEARCH SHOWS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THE 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLES. IT HAS COME LOOSE ON ONE EDGE (RIGHT SIDE VIEWING FROM BACK OF CAR).

THE 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.

YESTERDAY, AFTER PUTTING THE TOP UP, I DROVE THE CAR. I HAD NOT PUT THE TOP UP IN ABOUT A WEEK. CAR SAT OUT IN BLAZING SUN WITH TEMPS IN THE HIGH 90'S FOR ABOUT 2.5 HOURS. WHEN I STARTED DRIVING, I HEARD AN ODD RATTLE. I PULLED OVER AND CHECKED THE CAR TO FIND THAT THE REAR WINDOW WAS SEPARATING FROM THE SOFT TOP. IT WAS ABOUT 2/3 STILL ATTACHED. I HAD TO CONTINUE DRIVING IT. UPON RETURNING HOME, I SEE THAT IT IS NOW 2/3 DISCONNECTED. I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR IN THE RAIN AS MY TRUNK WOULD FLOOD. AFRAID TO TRY TO JERRY RIG IT. UNABLE TO CALL DEALER UNTIL TOMORROW AS THIS, OF COURSE, IS A HOLIDAY WEEKEND. I AM FEARFUL OF DRIVING THE CAR FOR FEAR THE GLASS WILL BECOME COMPLETELY DETACHED. OTHER THAN THE ATTACHED WIRE THAT HEATS THE GLASS FOR DEFOGGING, THERE IS NOTHING THAT WILL SECURE IT IF IT COMPLETELY DETACHES. THERE IS NOTHING TO KEEP IT FROM COMPLETELY DETACHING. I DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO OR OWN ANOTHER CAR. I CANNOT JUST DRIVE MY CAR ON NICE DAYS AND STAY HOME ON RAINY OR COLD ONES. I AM INTERESTED TO SEE WHAT MY DEALERSHIP WILL DO ABOUT THIS. I FEAR NOTHING FROM OTHER ONLINE COMMENTS. THE CAR IS ONLY WORTH ABOUT $6K SO THE IDEA OF PUTTING A NEW TOP ON IT FOR $2-3K OUT OF MY POCKET SEEMS RIDICULOUS. I LOVE MY CAR AND WANT TO KEEP DRIVING IT. IT ONLY HAS 70K MILES AND I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER.

REAR WINDOW FELL OUT. LUCKILY, I WAS NOT DRIVING. IF I HAD BEEN, WINDOW MAY HAVE COME OUT AND HIT A VEHICLE BEHIND ME OR HIT A PEDESTRIAN WHICH PROBABLY WOULD KILL A PERSON ON FOOT. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. MY INSURANCE REFUSE TO REPLACE IT BECAUSE IT IS A "CAR DEFECT". CHRYSLER REFUSING TO REPAIR "JUST CAUSE". THIS COULD BE LIFE-TAKING UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES.

REAR 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.

VISIBILITY/WIPER, UNKNOWN OR OTHER, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
DURING A SEVERE RAINSTORM THE REAR WINDOW GLASS DETACHED FROM THE CONVERTIBLE TOP ALLOWING SEVERE FLOODING OF THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE CAUSING VARIOUS ELECTRICAL FAILURES TO OCCUR. THIS SUDDEN AND UNEXPECTED EVENT CAUSED AN EMERGENCY STOP IN TRAFFIC THAT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT. THE RESIDUAL DAMAGE FROM THIS EVENT AFFECTS REAR WINDOW VISIBILITY AND ELECTRICAL FAILURES THAT INVOLVE THE OPERATION OF THE LOCKING SYSTEM, THE ANTI FOG REAR WINDOW CAPABILITY AND OTHER ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS IN THE REAR PART OF THE VEHICLE WHICH I CANNOT ACCESS BECAUSE OF THE INOPERATIVE TOP AND TRUNK.

REAR GLASS IN CONVERTIBLE TOP HAS SEPARATED FROM THE FABRIC. VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 30,000 MILES AND IS GARAGE KEPT. VEHICLE IS NOT ABUSED AND TOP HAS ONLY BEEN RETRACTED A TOTAL OF APPROXIMATELY 15 TIMES SO IT CAN NOT EVEN BE ATTRIBUTED TO "NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR". THIS SEEMS TO ME TO BE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT.

STRUCTURE:BODY
I OWN TWO CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLES; A 2005 AND 2007. IN 2010 MY GLASS FELL OUT OF MY REAR TOP IN THE 2005 CROSSFIRE AT THE AIRPORT . WHEN I GOT BACK IT HAD FALLEN COMPLETELY OUT EXCEPT FOR THE CORD CONNECTING THE DEFOGGER. THIS DAMAGED A COMPUTER PART WHICH COST OVER $1000 IN THE TRUCK FROM WATER. ANYWAY IN JULY OF 2014 THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED TO MY 2007 CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLE. OVER A PERIOD OF A FEW DAYS THE REAR GLASS JUST FELL COMPLETELY OUT. THE GLUE JUST GAVE WAY. ( WHAT EINSTEIN THOUGHT ANY GLUE WOULD HOLD A HEAVY PLATE GLASS WINDOW TO CANVAS ANYWAY). BOTH OF THESES CARS HAVE BEEN ONLY GARAGE KEPT. ANYHOW I TOOK THE CAR TO CHRYSLER AND THEY TOLD ME I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $2540 TO GET A NEW TOP EVEN THOUGH I HAD THE EXTENDED BUMPER TO BUMPER INSURANCE PROTECTION. THE PLAN APPARENTLY DID NOT COVER THE TOP BECAUSE IT WAS CONSIDERED UPHOLSTERY. I PROCEEDED TO TELL THEM THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED TO THE 2005. WELL BEHOLD TO MY DELIGHT THERE WAS SO MANY COMPLAINS ON THE 2005 TOP CHRYSLER HAD PUT AN EXTENSION OF THE WARRANTY TO 100,000 OR 10 YEARS. THE 2005 HAD ONLY 40,000 MILES PUT I HAD PURCHASED IN JULY OF 2004 SO I HAD JUST UNDER A MONTH LEFT UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. SO BY COMPLAINING ABOUT THE 2007 I GOT A NEW TOP ON THE 2005. COURSE NO ONE AT CHRYSLER WOULD HAVE LET ME KNOW , I FOUND OUT ONLY BY CHANCE. A RELIABLE COMPANY WOULD HAVE SENT OUT A WRITTEN NOTICE. I ALSO FIND OUT THAT THE 2007 HAS NO SUCH 100,000 EXTENDED WARRANTY SO I HAVE BEEN DRIVING A CAR WITHOUT A PROPER REAR WINDOW BECAUSE I AM STILL WAITING FOR CHRYSLER TO FIX THE OBVIOUS MANUFACTURE DEFECT. WHY WOULD THEY FIX THE 2005 AND NOT THE 2007 WHICH IS TWO YEARS NEWER WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS ? MY FAMILY HAVE OWNED NEARLY A DOZEN CHRYSLERS OVER THE YEARS BUT I THINK THE PROBLEMS WITH THESE WINDOWS MAY BE ENOUGH TO KEEP MY FROM EVER BUYING ANOTHER. IT IS JUST POOR BUSINESS.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WAS PASSING ON AN UPHILL PASSING LANE AND ENGINE SHUTDOWN. COASTED SAFELY TO ROAD SIDE, NO COLLISION OR INCIDENTS. AIR TEMP WAS ~95F AND HAD BEEN DRIVING FOR SEVERAL HOURS. CHECKED ON CROSSFIRE FORUM AND THIS APPEARS TO A COMMON PROBLEM. THERE ARE FAULTY SOLDER JOINTS IN A RELAY CONTROL MODULE THAT FAIL UNDER TEMPERATURE. PULLED MODULE AND LET COOL, CAR RESTARTED AND DROVE ~60 MILES TO HOME WITHOUT INCIDENT. ORDERED REPLACEMENT PART BUT AM CONCERNED THIS MAY REOCCUR WITHOUT WARNING.

CALLED CHRYSLER CORPORATION ABOUT REAR WINDOW SEPARATING FROM TOP. THEY SAID IT WOULD BE REPLACED BUT I WOULD HAVE TO GO TO A DEALER FOR PICTURES AND INSPECTION. THEY SUGGESTED MANAHAWKIN CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM RT 72 MANAHAWKIN, NJ 08050 609-597-1097. MY CAR WAS INSPECTED AND PICTURES WERE TAKENED BY DEALER ON 8/15/14 AS PER CHRYSLERS REQUEST. INVOICE NUMBER CHCS113759. I HAVE A PAPER FROM DEALER STATING WINDOW IS SEPARATING FROM TOP AND WILL NOTIFY CHRYSLER WITH RESULTS. I RECEIVED A CALL FROM CHRYSLER CORP. STATING MINE IS NOT COVERED BECAUSE IT WAS NOT DELIVERED IN SPECIFIED STATES. I COULD NOT UNDERSTAND THE LOGIC THAT CERTAIN STATES WOULD BE COVERED AND OTHERS NOT WHEN THEY WERE ALL MADE IN THE SAME LOCATIONS. THEY PROBLEM EXIST ON ALL THE CONVERTIBLES. I DO TRAVEL AND IF I WENT BY THEIR CONCEPT TO ONLY COVER STATES THAT HAVE HIGH TEMPERATURES WHAT DO I DO WHEN I TRAVEL TO THOSE STATES WITH THE CAR? I ASK FOR YOUR HELP IN THIS SINCE THIS IS A CAR MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHERE YOU LIVE THE CAR HAS THE PROBLEM IN ALL STATES. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE.
