I HAVE HAD MY CAR SINCE 2006 HOWEVER I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE BECAUSE THE IGNITION SWITCH DOESN'T TURN. I WOULD GET IT FIX OUT OF POCKET BUT I ONLY HAVE 33,000 ORIGINAL MILES ON IT, AND I DON'T THINK A CAR THAT HAS THIS LITTLE OF MILES SHOULD HAVE THIS KIND OF PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT REAR WINDSHIELD FELL OUT OF THE VEHICLE. AS A RESULT, THE ROOF LINER ON THE TOP REAR OF THE VEHICLE WAS HANGING DOWN AND MADE IT DIFFICULT TO SEE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ADHESIVE AROUND THE REAR WINDSHIELD FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 40,000.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WITH MY DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE WINDOWS DOWN WHEN I HEARD A LOUD CLAPPING NOISE COMING FROM THE 3RD WINDOW (CONVERTIBLE WINDOW). THE WINDOW GLUE HAS BEGUN UNSTICKING AND THE UPHOLSTERY AND GLASS WERE COMING APART. IF NOT FOR IMMEDIATE CORRECTIVE ACTIONS THE WINDOW COULD HAVE FLOWN AWAY AND INTO OTHER CARS BEHIND ME. *TR

I AM ONE OF THOSE AFFECTED BY THE REAR WINDOW FALLING OUT OF THE CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE. AT FIRST THEY OFFERED TO GET ME A NEW TOP FOR $700. GOODWILL THEY SAID. I TOLD THEM I COULDN'T AFFORD IT. THEY WOUND UP RESENDING THE OFFER AND REFUSED TO HELP ME AT ALL. I TRY TO REGLUE THE WINDOW BUT IT FALLS OUT AGAIN. I AM IN NJ WHICH IS NOT ONE OF THE STATES THEY WERE HELPING PEOPLE IN. PLEASE HAVE CHRYSLER RECALL ALL CROSSFIRES FOR THIS KNOWN PROBLEM. THANKS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, THE REAR WINDOW IN THE CONVERTIBLE TOP DETACHED AND FELL OUT, CAUSING THE CAR BEHIND ME TO...REACT IN A VERY UNSAFE MANNER. THE SUDDEN WIND INSIDE MY CAR CAUSED A VERY UNSAFE CONDITION. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO A NUMBER OF CROSSFIRE OWNERS. BIG PROBLEM. WHEN IT DETACHED, IT RIPPED OUT THE WIRING FOR THE DEFOGGER AND SCRATCHED THE TONNEAU COVER. *TR

WENT OUT TO MY CAR AND FOUND THE REAR WINDOW GLASS HAD FALLEN OUT. BONDING ADHESIVE FAILURE. CHRYSLER HAD AN ILLOGICAL AND ARBITRARY TSB SET UP TO REPLACE THE CONVERTIBLE TOPS WITH REAR WINDOW ADHESIVE FAILURE BUT IT ONLY COVERED 2005 MODEL YEAR ROADSTERS AND A VERY LIMITED NUMBER OF CARS THAT WERE ORIGINALLY DELIVERED TO DEALERS IN A NINE SELECTED STATES. THE REALITY IS THAT ALL CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE ROADSTERS FROM 2005 TO 2008 MODEL YEARS WILL EVENTUALLY HAVE THEIR REAR WINDOW GLASS FALL OUT DUE TO THE FAILURE OF THE BONDING ADHESIVE. CHRYSLER'S "BAND AIDE" FIX WAS WOEFULLY INADEQUATE AND INEXPLICABLY LIMITED. *TR

VISIBILITY/WIPER, STRUCTURE:BODY
WHEN I OPENED MY VEHICLE TO GET IN, I HEARD SOMETHING LOUD HITTING THE BACK PANEL. I THEN NOTICED MY REAR WINDOW HAD FELL 3/4 OF THE WAY OUT AND HIT THE BACK PANEL OF MY CAR. THE ADHESIVE ON THE REAR WINDOW ASSEMBLY FAILED CAUSING THE WINDOW ASSEMBLY TO PARTIALLY FALL OUT. I IMMEDIATELY LEFT THE CAR IN PARK AND WILL NOT DRIVE IT AS THE REMAINING PORTIONS OF THE WINDOW STRUCTURE COULD COME OUT CAUSING AN UNSAFE HAZARD TO MYSELF AND OTHERS AS THE WINDOW MAY HIT THE DRIVER OR OTHERS ON THE ROAD WHEN IT FULLY COMES OUT. I ONLY HAVE 33,000 MILES ON THE CAR AND HAVE HAD THIS CAR IN MY GARAGE SINCE THE DAY I PURCHASED IT. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE SINCE 2005, AT WHICH TIME CHRYSLER ISSUED AN 'EXTENDED WARRANTY' WHICH INCLUDED THE COST TO FIX THIS DEFECT TO THOSE NUMEROUS 2005'S WHO COMPLAINED. HOWEVER, SINCE THAT YEAR, THE AMOUNT OF CROSSFIRES WHICH WERE BUILT AND SENT TO THE US HAS DRASTICALLY DECREASED, WHICH IN TURN, COMPLAINTS DECREASED ALTHOUGH NOTHING WAS DONE BY THEM TO FIX THE PROBLEM. IN 2008, MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT ONLY 2000 CROSSFIRES WERE BUILT AND SENT TO THE US, OF WHICH THERE HAS BEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS, HOWEVER, CHRYSLER THINKS THE CUSTOMER SHOULD TAKE THE EXPENSE OF FIXING THEIR DEFECTS OF USING INADEQUATE ADHESIVE FOR SOMETHING AS IMPORTANT AS A WINDOW. I WAS TOLD THE COST WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY $1,700-$2,400 TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE CONVERTIBLE TOP, WHICH IS WHAT THEY HAVE TO DO TO MAKE THIS SAFE FOR THE CONSUMER. THIS PRESENTS AN UNSAFE HAZARD TO MYSELF AND MY FAMILY AND I AM NOT HAPPY WITH CHRYSLER'S RESPONSE. *TR

VISIBILITY/WIPER
IT'S HARD TO IMAGINE HOW ANYONE AT NHTSA CAN SIT AND REVIEW ALL THE REPORTS ON A SERIOUS MANUFACTURING DEFECT (AND SAFETY HAZARD) ON THESE CARS YET CHRYSLER GET AWAY WITH A PARTIAL RECALL BASED ON WHERE THE CROSSFIRES WERE INITIALLY DELIVERED. BOTTOM LINE: AS OF LATE 2011, CHRYSLER WILL DO THE "RIGHT THING" ONLY IF ONE'S CAR WAS "DELIVERED" IN ONE OF SEVERAL SOUTHERN STATES -- IN LIGHT OF THE FACT THAT THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE RELATED TO HEAT. CHRYSLER WILL NOT DO THE RIGHT THING IF THE SAME PROBLEM (THE REAR WINDOW FALLS OUT OF THE CONVERTIBLE TOP) IF THE CAR WAS DELIVERED SOMEWHERE ELSE -- AS IF THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRING IN THOSE STATES IS SOMEHOW NOT A SERIOUS MANUFACTURING DEFECT. OR AS IF PEOPLE DON'T MOVE TO OTHER STATES DURING THEIR LIVES. I WILL NEVER BUY A CHRYSLER/FIAT PRODUCT AGAIN IN LIGHT OF HOW THE CHRYSLER COMPANY HASN'T STOOD BEHIND ITS PRODUCT AND REPAIRED THIS COMMON DEFECT -- A DEFECT THAT SHOULD NEVER OCCUR IN A MODERN CAR. THIS IS SO FAR FROM THE ATTITUDE OF MOST JAPANESE AND KOREAN CAR MANUFACTURERS THAT THE DIFFERENCE SUGGESTS THAT IT'S FLAT-OUT FOOLISH TO BY ANYTHING FROM THIS COMPANY. BUT WHEN IT COMES TO NHTSA, IT MAKES ONE WONDER WHY THAT AGENCY SITS ON ITS HANDS AND DOES NOTHING TO REQUIRE CHRYSLER TO EXTEND ITS SERVICE BULLETIN TO COVER ALL SUCH VEHICLES, NO MATTER WHERE DELIVERED. RIGHTLY MAKES ONE WONDER WHAT NHTSA DOES THAT'S WORTH WE TAXPAYERS PAYING THEIR SALARIES. *TR

MY REAR WINDOW IS SEPARATING FROM THE CONVERTIBLE CANVAS TOP. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AS THERE IS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY OF 10 YEARS OR 100,000 MILES: NHTSA SB 23035-11 REV A. I WAS TOLD THE NHTSA WAS FOR VEHICLES DELIVERED ONLY IN CERTAIN STATES. WHAT DOES THE STATE HAVE TO DO WITH A FAULTY ADHESION PROBLEM? AFTER A NUMBER OF EMAILS AND PHONE CALLS CHRYSLER HAS TURNED DOWN THE REQUEST. CONCERNED THERE IS A DANGER IF THE WINDOW COMES OUT ON THE HIGHWAY. *TR

SEEMS CHRYSLER HAS STOP PRODUCING THE FRONT TURN SIGNALS FOR THIS CAR AND CANNOT FIND AFTERMARKET PARTS FOR IT. I'M TOLD THAT 7 YEARS AFTER THE CAR LEAVES PRODUCTION THAT THE PRODUCTION OF THE PARTS ARE STOPPED. I CANNOT GOT TO MERCEDES SINCE IT DOES NOT HAVE A MERCEDES PART NUMBER AND ANY CROSS REFERENCE NUMBER THAT IS GIVEN DOES NOT WORK FOR MERCEDES. ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED. *TR

PARKING THE CAR I MUST HAVE HIT THE GAS INSTEAD OF THE BRAKE, THE CAR DROVE OVER TWO CURVES, MADE A TURN, AND IN MY PANIC I HIT THE GAS EVEN HARDER THINKING IT WAS THE BRAKE. I ENDED BECAUSE I HIT A TREE THAT STOPPED THE CAR. THE AIRBAG DID NOT EXPLODE. THE CAR WAS TOTALED AND I STILL HAVE HEALTH ISSUES WITH MY HEAD. *TR
