BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE, I SAW A SUDDEN MOVEMENT THROUGH THE REAR VIEW MIRROR. I HEARD A THUMP. I SLAMMED THE BRAKE AND GOT OUT THINKING I'D HIT A CHILD OR MAYBE A DOG. MUCH TO MY RELIEF, THERE WASN'T ANYONE OR ANYTHING BEHIND MY CAR. I GOT BACK INTO MY CAR AND LET MY HEART RATE SLOW DOWN AND BEGAN TO BACK OUT AGAIN. IT WAS ALMOST DARK. I WAITED FOR A CAR TO PASS. LIT BY THEIR HEADLIGHTS I NOTICED THAT THE VIEW OUT OF THE WINDOW SEEMED DIFFERENT. I COULDN'T SEE THE LINES OF THE WIRES IN THE REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER. I TURNED AND SAW THAT THE REAR WINDOW HAD FALLEN OUT AND WAS LAYING DOWN ALMOST FLAT JUST BEHIND THE SAFETY BARS LOCATED JUST BEHIND SEATS. I PULLED FORWARD AND DISCOVERED THAT ONLY THE BOTTOM OF THE WINDOW WAS STILL ATTACHED BY THE ADHESIVE THAT IS SUPPOSED TO SECURE THE WINDOW TO THE CONVERTIBLE TOP. I HAD PURCHASED A 5 YEAR, 100,00 MILE EXTENDED WARRANTY FROM CHRYSLER. I CONTACTED THEM AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE TOP WAS NOT COVERED. THE REASON I PURCHASED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WAS BECAUSE THE SALESMAN STRESSED THE EXPENSE OF REPLACING A CONVERTIBLE TOP. I PAID 2,595.18 TO THE LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER TO REPLACE THE TOP AT MY EXPENSE. I WAS CHARGED 165.00 FOR PART #5140795AA. THAT PART IS A "KEY", (WRENCH), USED TO INSTALL OR REMOVE THE TOP WHICH WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN INCLUDED WITH THE VEHICLE. IT WASN'T. I RECEIVED MY "REPAIRED" VEHICLE ON 10/31/13. AT 35 MPH THE TOP LOOKED LIKE A TENT FLOPPING IN THE WIND. IT BEGAN POURING RAIN BEFORE I GOT HOME. THE TENSION STRAPS HAD BEEN CUT TO REMOVE THE TOP. THE SEALS AROUND THE WINDOWS WERE SO MISALIGNED THAT THE POCKETS ON THE INSIDE OF THE DOORS WERE DRENCHED WITH EVERYTHING IN THEM AS WELL AS MY WIFE AND ME. I TOOK THE CAR BACK AND DEMANDED A LOANER VEHICLE. I RECEIVED ONE. I DIDN'T RECEIVE MY REPAIRED VEHICLE UNTIL AFTER FEB 20, 2014. THE TOP STILL ISN'T PROPERLY INSTALLED.

THE BACK WINDOW IN MY 2005 CROSSFIRE CAME UNGLUED AND NEARLY FELL IN WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I HAD TO GET OFF THE ROAD AND FOUND A WAY TO GET HOME WITH IT BARELY HANGING ON. I CALLED MY DEALERSHIP AND CHRYSLER ONLY TO LEARN THAT THEY HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON 2005 CROSSFIRE TOPS BUT BECAUSE MY CAR WAS NOT SOLD IN ONE OF THE NINE SOUTHERN STATES THEY WOULD NOT HELP ME. I WAS ABLE TO FIND SOMEONE TO RE-ATTACH THE WIDOW ON A TEMPORARY BASIS BUT IT KEEPS COMING UNGLUED. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THE ONLY PERMANENT SOLUTION IS TO GET A NEW TOP. I'VE SPENT 2 YEARS LIMPING ALONG WITH MAKE DUE REMEDIES. PLEASE HELP US.

REAR GLASS WINDOW FALLING OUT OF 2006 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE CONVERTABLE. THE CORNERS OF THE REAR WINDOW STARTED TO SEPARATE FROM THE ROOF MATERIAL.

ATTENTION: JOHN ABBOTT I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS CAR. THERE IS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY UNDER A TSB ISSUED BY CHRYSLER CALLED X31. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, X31 SAYS THAT 2005 CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLES THAT ARE UNDER 10 YEARS OLD AND UNDER 100,000 AND DELIVERED IN ANY OF 9 STATES ARE COVERED BY X31. MY CAR WAS BOUGHT IN DALLAS (ONE OF THE 9 INCLUDED STATES) IN JULY 2005 (UNDER 10 YEARS OLD) AND HAS UNDER 31,000 MILES. THE CAR HAS ALWAYS BEEN GARAGE KEPT. WHEN WE PURCHASED THE CAR THE DEALERSHIP LOOKED NATIONWIDE FOR THE CAR WITH EXACTLY WHAT WE WANTED AND FOUND ONE IN WISCONSIN. THE DEALER IN DALLAS, BOUGHT AND SHIPPED THE CAR TO PRESTON CHRYSLER, WHERE I PURCHASED IT. CHRYSLER SAYS THE CAR WAS DELIVERED TO WISCONSIN AND THEREFORE IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. EVEN IF THE CAR WAS ORIGINALLY DELIVERED TO A DEALER IN WISCONSIN, IT WAS PURCHASED, NEW, IN TEXAS. I UNDERSTAND CHRYSLER NOT HAVING THIS CAR ON THEIR RECALL LIST, BUT I DON'T BELIEVE IT SHOULD TAKE THAT MUCH EFFORT FOR THEM TO REALIZED THAT THE CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW IN TEXAS AND INCLUDE THIS VIN IN THE WARRANTY. CHRYSLER HAS AGREED TO OPEN A CASE AND I TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP TODAY. I AM DETERMINED TO GET THIS RESOLVED IN MY FAVOR. CHRYSLER HAS NOT SAID THEY WOULDN'T FIX IT, BUT IS TALKING ABOUT DEDUCTIBLES OR OUTRIGHT COST TO ME. THOUSANDS OF THESE TOPS HAVE FAILED AND HUNDREDS WERE FIXED FOR FREE. I BELIEVE MY CAR FITS INTO BOTH CATEGORIES...UPDATED 08/26/15 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AT THE MANUFACTURER'S EXPENSE. UPDATED 12/4/2015 *JS

AS MANY 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLE TOPS , THE REAR WINDOW GLASS IS SEPARATING FROM THE CONVERTIBLE FABRIC. THE ADHESIVE HAS TO BE DEFECTIVE ON ALL TOPS...NOW PEOPLE ARE SAYING THAT 2008 ARE SEPARATING ALSO....THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE SOME WINDOWS HAVE DETACHED DRIVING. CHRYSLER DID RECALL TOPS FOR SOME CARS,BUT ONLY IN A FEW STATES IT IS HAPPENING MORE THEN THEY HAVE MADE IT OUT TO BE. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS AS THAT WAS NOT A FAIR ASSESSMENT TO ONLY A FEW CARS WHEN ALL 2005 HAVE THIS PROBLEM... !..UPDATED 08/13/15 *BF

ORIGINAL OWNER CAR, LIMITED USE, GARAGE KEPT IN CALIFORNIA (STATE OF PURCHASE). NOTICED THAT REAR WINDOW IN CONVERTIBLE TOP IS STARTING TO DETACH ON ONE SIDE. I'M AWARE THAT CHRYSLER HAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR CARS PURCHASED IN CERTAIN "HIGH HUMIDITY" STATES, BUT CALIFORNIA IS OUTSIDE THAT COVERAGE AND SO AM NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THE WARRANTY REPAIR, YET I HAVE THE EXACT SAME ISSUE.

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR WITH THE TOP UP MY REAR WINDOW BECAME DETACHED. I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT EVEN THOUGH THE 2005 CROSSFIRE ROADSTER WAS COVERED FOR THE SAME PROBLEM THEY WERE NOT COVERING THE 2006. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER DIRECTLY IN JULY OF 2014 THEY TOLD ME THE SAME THING. I THEN HAD TO MAKE A TEMPORARY REPAIR FOR $ 150 AND IN SEPTEMBER 2014 HAD TO REPLACE THE TOP FOR $ 2,457.62 AT A SHOP RECOMMENDED BY THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. SO I AM OUT OF POCKET $ 2,607. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AGAIN LAST WEEK 5 23 2015 AND THEY REPLIED THAT SINCE MY VEHICLE WAS NOT BUILT IN 2005 THEY WERE STILL NOT COVERING IT. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM EXPERIENCED BY NUMEROUS DRIVERS. IF THIS WINDOW WERE TO COME OUT WHILE DRIVING IT COULD SERIOUSLY INJURE OR KILL A PEDESTRIAN OR OTHER DRIVER. CHRYSLER HAS COVERED THE 2005 FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT NOT LATER MODELS. YOU WILL SEE OVER 20 COMPLAINTS ON THE SAFECAR.GOV SITE FROM OTHER DRIVERS WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT SAME MODEL AND YEAR. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE WEB ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM. I GUESS CHRYSLER AND THE GOVERNMENT WANTS TO WAIT UNTIL PEOPLE ARE KILLED BEFORE ACTING.

I HAVE A TWO 2005 CROSSFIRE SRT6 ROADSTER THAT THE REAR WINDOWS HAVE DETACHED FROM THE CANVAS AND FALLEN OUT. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME IT HAS OCCURRED ON BOTH VEHICLES. THE 1ST TWO TIMES THE DEALER/CHRYSLER REPLACED THE TOP WITH A DEDUCTIBLE PAYMENT.OF $200. THURSDAY, 5/14/2015 THE WINDOW CAME APART FROM THE CANVAS (3RD TIME ) THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM IN THE CROSSFIRE COMMUNITY. IT IS A POTENTIAL HAZARD IF THE WINDOW FLIES OUT WHEN THE CAR IS MOVING. I AM IN CURRENT CONTACT WITH CHRYSLER AS THE INITIAL DATE OF SERVICE WAS 04/15/2005. THEREFORE THE VEHICLE IS 1 MONTH OUT OF THE 10 YEAR/100K REPLACEMENT BY 1 MONTH.UNDER THE TPA CHRYSLER IMPOSED AND GUARANTEED FOR ONLY SPECIFIC STATES. (WARM WEATHER STATES)
