I WAS DRIVING MY 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLE WITH THE TOP UP ON A HIGHWAY AT 65 MILES PER HOUR WHEN THE REAR WINDOW FELL INTO THE CAR, WHICH CAUSED ME TO SWERVE DUE TO THE LOUD NOISE AND COMMOTION NEARLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. LUCKILY, I REALIZED THERE WAS NO IMMEDIATE DANGER AND WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE CAR. THIS CAR IS GARAGED AND DRIVEN FEWER THAN 6,000 MILES PER YEAR! (MOSTLY WITH THE TOP DOWN!)

MY REAR WINDOW HAS COME UNGLUED AND IS DANGLING. IT CAME DOWN AS I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 70 MPH ON THE HWAY AND SCARED ME AS IT SUDDENLY CAME DOWN. IT'S A 2005 YEAR BUT HAS ONLY 17K MILES. IT'S GARAGED ALL THE TIME. I AM IN THE ATLANTA, GA AREA. WHAT HAS BEEN OR IS BEING DONE TO GET RECALL ON THESE TOPS?

STRUCTURE:BODY
IN 2011, THE REAR WINDOW IN MY CONVERTIBLE TOP BECAME UNGLUED FROM THE TOP. CHRYSLER PAID MOST OF THE COST TO REPLACE IT, BUT USED ANOTHER DEFECTIVE TOP AS A REPLACEMENT. AS A RESULT, THE WINDOW IS AGAIN FALLING OUT. CHRYSLER NOW REFUSES TO EVEN DISCUSS THE POSSIBILITY OF ANY FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THIS PROBLEM WITH THE DEFECTIVE GLUE IS WELL DOCUMENTED AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AS WINDOWS FLYING OUT OF MOVING VEHICLES COULD BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.

THE BACK GLASS OF MY 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE HAS BECOME LOOSE FROM THE TOP. IT HAPPENED WHEN I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AS I HEARD IT BUMP AGAINST THE CAR BODY. I KNOW CHRYSLER EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THIS ISSUE, BUT I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FIRST AND THE COMPANY SHOULD DO A RECALL TO MAKE THIS RIGHT.

IN JULY, THE REAR GLASS WINDOW FELL OUT (PART OF THE GLASS IS STILL ATTACHED) WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON A STREET. UNKNOWN TO ME, THIS ISSUE WAS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THE 2005 MODEL (THE GLASS ADHESIVE FAILED). ALTHOUGH CHRYSLER EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THE TOP FOR 10 YEARS, THE WARRANTY COVERS ONLY CARS PURCHASE WITH SPECIFIC VINS. UNFORTUNATELY, MY CAR WAS NOT COVERED OR I WAS NOT NOTIFIED. , THE WINDOW REPAIR (ACTUALLY A TOP REPLACEMENT) IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I HAVE PROPED UP THE WINDOW SO I CAN DRIVE THE CAR, THE ALTURNITIVE IS TO A NEW TOP. FOR ABOUT $2,000

I CAME OUTSIDE TO FIND THAT THE REAR WINDOW OF THE CONVERTIBLE TOP HAD COME LOOSE AND WAS LAYING ON THE REAR DECK BEING HELD TO THE FABRIC IN 1 SMALL PLACE. THE CAR HAD BEEN PARKED OUTSIDE FOR 1 DAY. LUCKILY IT DIDN'T FALL OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING, POTENTIALLY SHATTERING THE GLASS NEAR MY HEAD. UNTIL THE CAR IS REPAIRED IT IS UNUSABLE IN FOUL WEATHER DUE TO WATER RUNNING IN THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT.

IN LATE AUGUST, THE REAR GLASS WINDOW FELL OUT (PART OF THE GLASS IS STILL ATTACHED) WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON A CITY STREET. UNKNOWN TO US, THIS ISSUE WAS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THE 2005 MODEL (THE GLASS ADHESIVE FAILED). ALTHOUGH CHRYSLER EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THE TOP FOR 10 YEARS, THE WARRANTY COVERS ONLY CARS PURCHASE IN 10 SELECT STATES. UNFORTUNATELY, OUR CAR WAS NOT PURCHASED IN ONE OF THOSE STATES. THUS, THE WINDOW REPAIR (ACTUALLY A TOP REPLACEMENT) IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. CHRYSLER REFUSED TO FIX THE TOP. ENDED UP TAKING THE CAR TO A LOCAL UPHOLSTERY SHOP TO HAVE A PLASTIC WINDOW 'SOWN' INTO THE TOP SO THAT WE COULD CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THIS REPAIR WAS MORE AFFORDABLE THAN THE COST OF AN ENTIRE NEW TOP (ALMOST $2,000). THE PLASTIC WINDOW REPLACEMENT COST $500.00.

STRUCTURE:BODY, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), POWER TRAIN
ON MY WAY TO WORK HAVING JUST PASSED SEVERAL CARS, TRAVELING @70+ MILES/HR. ON THE INTERSTATE, I NOTICED WOBBLING & THE LOSS OF CONTROL & IMMEDIATELY MOVED TO THE RIGHT LANE & STEERED TOWARDS THE RIGHT SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY, THANKING GOD FOR NO ACCIDENT. I PUT THE GEAR IN~PARK~TURNED THE IGNITION SWITCH OFF & CHECKED THE EXTERIOR TO NOTICE MY NEWLY PURCHASED REAR PASSENGER TIRE WAS PREMATURELY BLOWN(RECENTLY PURCHASED TIRES). I CALLED A TOW TRUCK(2ND TIME THIS MARCH MONTH BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T CRANK IN MY DRIVEWAY): UPON THEIR INTERSTATE ARRIVAL, I LEARNED THAT THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM/ENGINE HAD SHUTDOWN WITH AN 'INABILITY TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL GEAR OR ANY GEAR IN ORDER FOR THEM TO TOW IT. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THE ENGINE HAS LOCKED LIKE THIS. THE CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR 8(EIGHT) MONTHS NOW SINCE MARCH 23, 2015 & THE CHRYSLER MECHANICS ARE IN 'AWE' AS IT SEEMS TO BE IRREPAIRABLE. I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT TRANSPORTATION SINCE MARCH, 2015. CHRYSLER COMPANY, PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM: I & OTHERS COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED ON THE INTERSTATE & I HAVE BEEN TOWED THREE TIMES BECAUSE THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY SHUTDOWN, BUT THIS HAS BEEN THE LONGEST & WORST. IN THE PAST, I HAVE HAD THE HOOD-CEILING, IGNITION SWITCH REPLACED & BEFORE THIS, I WAS ABOUT TO HAVE THE SILVER OUTSIDE WINDOW BORDERS REPLACED. THERE HAS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS ELECTRONIC SYSTEM JUST SHUTTING DOWN WHILE I AM IN THE MIDST OF DRIVING AS THIS BEING THE 3RD TIME SHUTTING DOWN & I DO HAVE A NEW BATTERY, THEREFORE THAT IS NOT THE PROBLEM. HELP! HELP! HELP! [NOTE: CROSSFIRE IN SHOP 8+ MONTHS/ I AM WITHOUT MY CAR! PLEASE LET ME HEAR FROM YOU CONCERNING THIS SERIOUS & DANGEROUS MATTER! IT IS THE MERCY OF GOD THAT THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT DURING THE RUSH/WORK MORNING TRAFFIC ON THE INTERSTATE, MONDAY, MARCH 23, 2015. HELP! PLEASE!

I PURCHASED THIS CAR THIS YEAR FROM A CHRYSLER EXECUTIVE WHO HAS OWNED IT FOR YEARS. SHE TOLD ME THAT WHILE DRIVING IT THE REAR GLASS WINDOW FELL OUT. THIS WAS HER DAILY DRIVER SO SHE HAD IT RE GLUED AS FAST AS SHE COULD SO SHE WOULD HAVE A CAR TO GET TO WORK.SHE DID NOT KNOW OF THE TSB ON THIS. TSB-23=035-11 CALLED X-31/ADHESION. I BOUGHT THE CAR THIS YEAR AND THE WINDOW IS LOOSE ON THE EDGES AND I AM AFRAID IT WILL FALL OUT AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I TOOK IT TO A DEALER AND THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO. THEY SAID BECAUSE IT WAS ALREADY FIXED IT WOULD PROBABLY NOT BE COVERED. IS THIS TRUE? I BOUGHT THIS CAR TO BE A DAILY DRIVER, NOT A SUNNY DAY DRIVER.

MY VEHICLE HAS 30,000 MILES, AND IS FROM THE SO CALLED SOUTHERN STATES. LAST YEAR THE BACK WINDOW SEPARATED FROM THE TOP. I CALLED CHRYSLER TO REQUEST A REPAIR AND WAS DENIED.THE CAR HAD FRONT END DAMAGE WHEN WE BOUGHT IT. WE DOCUMENTED ALL PURCHASES AND PHOTOGRAPHED ALL REPAIRS THAT WERE MADE. THE VEHICLE LOOKS NEW. BUT THE WINDOW IS STILL OUT AND I HAVE TOOK THE CAR OUT OF THE GARAGE 1 TIME THE YEAR. CHRYSLER IS NOT STANDING BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS. WE OWN 2 DODGE DEISELS TRUCKS AND WILL NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THAT COMPANY AGAIN.THE WINDOW STARTED DETACHING WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION, I SLOWED DOWN AND DROVE HOME, UNTIL WE CAN AFFORD REPAIRS. MAY BE NEVER, NEW TOP $1500. TO $2000. THAT IS A LITTLE PRICEY FOR A 10 YEAR OLD CAR.

THE REAR WINDOW ON THE CONVERTIBLE TOP HAS COME UNGLUED AND IS FALLING OUT, THE DEFROSTER ON THE REAR WINDOW BECAME DISCONNECTED FROM THE WINDOW DUE TO THIS PROBLEM MAKING DEFROSTING OF THE REAR WINDOW IMPOSSIBLE AND HINDERS VISIBILITY. NOTHING UNUSUAL HAS BEEN DONE TO CONTRIBUTE TO THIS ISSUE OTHER THAN NORMAL USE.
