05' CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE ROADSTER CONVERTIBLE. THE BACK WINDOW GLASS IS FALLING OUT. BEEN ADVISED THAT THE GLUE WAS FAULTY MANUFACTURER ISSUE. THE TOP FABRIC APPEARS TO BE SHRINKING AND PULLED AWAY MAKING THE WINDOW TO COME APART FROM THE CONVERTIBLE TOP. THIS IS NOT ONLY A HAZARD TO DRIVERS & PASSENGERS BUT ALSO TO ONCOMING VEHICLES OR VEHICLES FOLLOWING IF THIS SHOULD COME OUT COMPLETELY WHILE DRIVING AT NORMAL SPEED LIMITS. I AM HOPING CHRYSLER- DAIMLER CORPORATION WILL HAVE IT AS A RECALL SINCE THERE HAVE BEEN MANY MANY MANY CHRYSLER CUSTOMERS ON RECORD WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS SHOULD BE 100% REPAIRED BY THE CHRYSLER OR AT LEAST OWNERS SHOULD BE COMPENSATED 100% FOR REPAIRS. *TR

THIS IS A 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE WE HAVE OWNED AND GARAGE KEPT FOR 3YRS WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS UNTIL TODAY WHEN THE BACK WINDOW ON THE CONVERTIBLE TOP BECAME DELAMINATED. SEARCHING THE INTERNET I FOUND THAT THIS MAY BE A COMMON PROBLEM FOR OTHER OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE.I DONT UNDERSTAND HOW THIS METHOD OF INSTALLATION FROM THE FACTORY COULD BE CONSIDERED QUALITY WORK BECAUSE ITS JUST GLUED ONTO THE DENIM CLOTH. THIS CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT OR TREATED IN A NEGLIGENT MANNER IT IS WELL TAKEN CARE OF AND THERE IS NO REASON FOR THIS TO HAPPEN EXCEPT FOR POOR MANUFACTURING PROCESSES. *TR

VISIBILITY:REAR WINDOW WIPER/WASHER
I PURCHASED A 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLE ON 5/9/11 FROM AN INDIVIDUAL. AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, I DECIDED TO SEARCH THE INTERNET TO SEE IF THERE WAS A FORUM FOR CROSSFIRE OWNERS. I DID FIND A GREAT SITE AND STARTED PERUSING. I CAME ACROSS A THREAD OF OTHER OWNERS OF THE 2005 CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLE WHO WERE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE GLASS WINDOW SEPARATING FROM THE CANVAS. THE PROBLEM TYPICALLY OCCURRED IN THE "HIGH HEAT" STATES I.E., FLORIDA AND TEXAS AND TYPICALLY SURFACED AFTER THE 36 K MILEAGE MARK. SINCE I LIVE IN FLORIDA, AND THIS WAS A FLORIDA CAR, I IMMEDIATELY WENT TO MY GARAGE AND TOOK A CLOSE LOOK AT THE BACK WINDOW. UPON CASUAL OBSERVATION, IT WASN'T OBVIOUS, BUT ONCE I RAN MY FINGER ALONG THE EDGE OF THE GLASS AND THE CANVAS, LO AND BEHOLD, IT WAS SEPARATING!!! I WAS SHOCKED THAT THIS WAS HAPPENING!!! LONG STORY SHORT, AFTER TAKING IT TO MY LOCAL DEALER, I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOT A REPAIR THAT COULD BE DONE AND THE TOP WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $ 2,200.00. THE TECHNICIAN SAID THAT HE WOULD CONTACT CHRYSLER TO SEE IF THEY WOULD BE WILLING TO OFFER ANY "GOODWILL" TOWARDS THE REPLACEMENT. WELL, NO "GOODWILL" OFFERED BY CHRYSLER :( BOTTOM LINE, I NEED A SAFE VEHICLE SO I AM HAVING THE TOP REPLACED AT MY COST. MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP IS FANTASTIC AND THEY HAVE OFFERED TO DISCOUNT THE REPLACEMENT BY 15% WHICH I THOUGHT SHOWED GOOD FAITH ON THEIR PART. IT SEEMS TO ME, WITH SO MANY OWNERS HAVING THIS PROBLEM, AN INVESTIGATION INTO WHY THIS IS HAPPENING NEEDS TO HAPPEN. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL AS AN INTEGRITY ISSUE OF THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE. SOMEONE NEEDS TO STEP UP AND REPRESENT THE OWNERS OF THESE 2005 CHRYSLER CONVERTIBLE AND SAY "YES, THIS IS A DEFECT AND CHRYSLER WILL NEED TO COMPENSATE FAIRLY FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THESE TOPS!!" THE CAR I PURCHASED WAS ALWAYS GARAGED AND THE TOP IS IN LIKE NEW CONDITION ~ THE GLASS DELAMINATION IS A DEFECT, NOT CAUSED BY WEAR & TEAR. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE! *TR

I HAVE A 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE THAT I PURCHASED 1 YEAR AGO AND THE REAR WINDOW HAS CAME APART FROM THE CONVERTIBLE TOP FABRIC. THE TOPS ARE ON BACKORDER AT CHRYSLER AND I HAVE ONLY FOUND ONE SHOP IN CALIFORNIA THAT HAS A REPLACEMENT, BUT I HAVE TO HAVE THE FULL TOP FRAME REMOVED AND SHIPPED TO THEM FOR REPLACEMENT. THE TOP ALONE IS 3K. IN THE INTERIM MY EXPENSIVE CAR SITS IN THE GARAGE COLLECTING DUST. TRULY NOT ACCEPTABLE. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE THAT I HAVE OWNED FOR FIVE MONTHS. ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO THE REAR WINDOW FELL OUT OF MY CONVERTIBLE. FROM WHAT I HAVE FOUND OUT THIS SEEMS TO BE A CONTINUING PROBLEM WITH THIS YEARS MODEL. HAVE NOT SEEN ANY INFO ABOUT ANY OTHER CROSSFIRE MODELS AFTER 2005 WITH THIS PROBLEM. MAYBE THEY REALIZED THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM AND FIXED IT FROM 2006 ON UP CALLED TO SEE IF MY EXTENDED SERVICE CONTRACT COVERS THIS, WAS TOLD NO IT WAS A TRIM ISSUE MY INSURANCE WILL HELP COVER THE COST TO REPLACE BUT THAT DOESN'T SEEM FAIR TO THEM, THE CARS NOT WRECKED. LOOKS LIKE TWO GRAND APROX. TO REPLACE THE TOP, ( PROBABLY WITH A 2006 OR NEWER TOP ! ) *TR
