I PARKED MY CAR AT A SHOP'S PARKING LOT AND DIDN'T HAVE ANY ISSUES. ABOUT 20 MINUTES LATER I CAME BACK TO MY CAR AND TRIED TO GET THE ENGINE TO TURN OVER AND THE IGNITION WOULD NOT TURN. I TRIED WITH BOTH OF MY KEYS AND I COULDN'T GET THE IGNITION TO TURN. THE STEERING WHEEL ALSO WAS LOCKED UP. I HAD TO TAKE APART MY DASH BOARD TO GET TO THE IGNITION SO I COULD RELEASE THE LOCKING PIN. ONCE THE PIN WAS RELEASED I HAD NO PROBLEMS STARTING THE CAR. *TR

THE REAR ADHESIVE ON MY 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE ROADSTERS REAR WINDOW, THAT HOLDS IT TO THE SOFT TOP CONVERTIBLE, HAS BEGUN TO DETACH. I HAVE CALLED CHRYSLER ABOUT THE ISSUE AND THEY EXPLAINED THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY AND THEY WILL NOT ASSIST. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME BECAUSE THE WINDOW COULD DETACH WHILE DRIVING AND POSSIBLY CAUSE HARM AND/OR DEATH TO OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROADWAY. I FOUND A SERVICE BULLETIN ON THE ISSUE WITH A BULLETIN # SB-23035-11REVA THAT RECOMMENDS THAT THE CONVERTIBLE TOP BE INSPECTED AND/OR REPLACED IF DEFECTIVE. CHRYSLER IS NOT HELPING AT ALL WITH THIS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE TO HELP ME FIX IT AND MAKE MY VEHICLE SAFE FOR MYSELF, AND THE OTHERS AROUND ME. I AM A MEMBER OF CROSSFIREFORUM.ORG AND THERE ARE MANY OTHER PEOPLE WITH THIS ISSUE THAT HAVE EITHER GOTTEN IT REPLACED BY CHRYSLER FOR FREE, OR PAID A CO-PAY TO HELP THEM FIX THE PROBLEM, BUT I WAS OFFERED NEITHER FOR THIS EXTREMELY UNSAFE ISSUE MY VEHICLE HAS. PLEASE HELP ME IN ANY WAY THAT YOU CAN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR WINDOW BECAME DETACHED. AS A RESULT, THE TRUNK WOULD BECOME FILLED WITH WATER WHENEVER IT WOULD RAIN. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE COMPONENT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY, BUT WANTED THE VEHICLE INSPECTED TO SEE WHAT CAUSED THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA ITEM NUMBER: 10042531 (VISIBILITY) THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO COVER AND CORRECT THE PROBLEM FOR 10 YEARS AND 100,000 MILES, BUT THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED BECAUSE IT WAS NOT REGISTERED IN A SOUTHERN STATE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 51,000.

WHILE DRIVING AT 15MPH, I HEARD A RATTLE AND NOTICED THAT THE REAR WINDOW HAD DETACHED ON THREE SIDES. THIS IS A KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE TO CHRYSLER AND HAS BEEN ADDRESSED BY A TSB. HOWEVER, THIS TSB IS LIMITED TO ONLY CERTAIN STATES. WHEN I PURCHASED MY, I WAS NOT INFORMED OF ITS ORIGIN. MY CAR WAS ORIGINALLY SOLD IN A STATE NOT COVERED BY THE EXTENDED WARRANTY INCLUDED IN THE TSB DATED 9/8/11. HOWEVER, I BOUGHT AND HAVE DRIVEN THE CAR IN A STATE WHICH IS INCLUDED IN THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. I HAVE OWNED THE CAR FOR SIX YEARS AND IT WAS ONE YEAR OLD WHEN PURCHASED. ALL OF THE CROSSFIRES MADE IN THIS YEAR WERE MADE IN GERMANY. CHRYSLER HAS DECLINED TO HONOR THE X31 EXTENDED WARRANTY INCLUDED IN THE 2011 TSB IN MY CASE. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW CHRYSLER CAN REFUSE TO CORRECT A KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE. I FEEL CHRYSLER SHOULD BE ORDERED TO RECALL ALL 2005 CROSSFIRE ROADSTERS. I AM ASKING THE NHTSA TO ORDER SUCH A RECALL. *TR

REAR WINDOW SEPARATED FROM TOP. LEAKS WATER IN RAIN AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE AT ANY SPEED. DEALER HAD ME CALL CHRYSLER FOR DETAILS ON WARRANTY CODE X31. TSB SB-23035-11REV A CHRYSLER INDICATED EVEN THOUGH THIS VEHICLE'S PROBLEM IS CONSISTANT WITH ALL OTHER COMPLAINTS BEING ADDRESSED BY WARRANTY X31 AND THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY BEING UTILIZED IN THE STATE OF TENNESEE WHERE THE "RECALL" IS ACTIVE THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT ORIGINALLY PURCHASED IN ONE OF THE COVERED STATES AND THEREFOE IS NOT COVERED. THIS POLICY IS NOT FAIR AND CONSISITANT. ALL 2005 CROSSFIRES WERE BUILT IN GERMANY, THEREFORE ORIGINATION POINT OR US STATE OF INITIAL SALE SHOULD NOT BE THE INDICATING FACTOR. IF THE FAILURE OCCURS DURING THE X31 WARRANTY EXTENSION PERIOD THEN THE REPAIR SHOULD BE COVERED. THIS IS A $3000.00 PROBLEM. *TR

THE COMMON PROBLEM OF THE IGNITION LOCKING AND KEY UNABLE TO TURN. THERE ARE COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET AND OTHERWISE BY CROSSFIRE LOVING OWNERS WHO ARE UNABLE TO SUDDENLY TURN THEIR KEY...AND THE DEALERSHIPS CHARGING WELL OVER A $1000 DOLLARS TO FIX IT, DUE TO BAD DESIGN. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. *TR

THE REAR WINDOW HAS BECOME UNGLUED FROM THE CONVERTIBLE TOP. THE TOP IS BRAND NEW HAS NO LEAKAGE. ALL SHOPS ARE TELLING ME THAT I WILL HAVE TO SPEND $2500 ON A NEW TOP. I GOOGLED THIS ISSUE AND NUMEROUS OTHER DRIVERS OF THE EXACT SAME MAKE AND MODEL ARE HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. WHY HASN'T THIS CAR BEEN RECALLED? THIS IS SUCH AN INCONVENIENCE AND COMPLETELY UNFAIR CONSIDERING MY TOP IS STILL IN GOOD CONDITION. *TR

THE REAR GLASS WINDOW ON THE CONVERTIBLE TOP CAME LOOSE ON ONE SIDE AND IS COMING LOOSE ACROSS THE TOP. I HAVE DISCOVERED SINCE THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED THAT CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND IS REFUSING TO ISSUE A RECALL INORDER TO FIX THE DEFECT. MY VEHICLE HAS ALWAYS BEEN GARAGE KEPT, AND THE TOP IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. *TR

WHEN TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY I NOTICED THAT THE GLASS REAR WINDOW ON MY CONVERTIBLE 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE ROADSTER HAD BECOME PARTIALLY ( ONLY 6 INCHES WHERE ATTACHED AT TOP OF GLASS ) UNATTACHED FROM THE CANVAS TOP AND WAS HITTING AGAINST THE BODY WHEN I WOULD HIT A BUMP. WHEN I GOT HOME I DID AN INTERNET SEARCH ABOUT HOW TO FIX IT, AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE CROSSFIRE REAR WINDOW OF THIS MODEL YEAR. I CALLED THE DEALER AT THAT TIME AND THEY SAID IT WAS NOT COVERED. I HAD THE WINDOW GLUED BACK BUT IT HAS SENSE DELAMINATED AGAIN. NOW I SEE CHRYSLER MAY HAVE BEEN PLANNING THIS FIX FOR SOME TIME? *TR
