ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
IGNITION SWITCH FAILURE. VEHICLE IS NOW INOPERABLE. APPEARS TO BE A JAMMED PIN FROM STEERING COLUMN TO IGNITION SWITCH. IT HAS BEEN A RECURRING PROBLEM FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS UNTIL IT FAILED ALTOGETHER. FROM THE NUMBER OF POSTS REGARDING THIS MALFUNCTION IT APPEARS A DEFECTIVE COMPONENT AS THE COMPLAINTS ARE FOR CARS WITH VERY LOW MILEAGE. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLE BACK WINDOWS ON SOME CARS LOSE THEIR ADHESIVE BOND AND THE WINDOWS COME FALL PARTLY APART. THIS ALLOW RAIN WATER TO ENTER UNDER THE WINDOW, WHERE THE ROOF LATCH IS. THERE IS A WAY FOR WATER TO ENTER THE TRUNK THERE. THIS WATER FINDS ITS WAY TO TWO TRUNK CAVITIES ON THE BOTTOM, AND THE WATER HAS NO PLACE TO EXIT. ON THE RIGHT SIDE IS THE SECURITY MODULE THAT CAN BE SATURATED THAT THE FOAM INSULATION, ACTUALLY CAN STORE THIS WATER AS A SPONGE. AND THE WATER CAN THEN CAUSE A PROBLEM IN THE SECURITY AREA. MODULE. LIGHTS COMING ON FLASHING AND SIRENS BLARING AY ALL KIND OF TIMES.. THAT THE BATTERY CAN ACTUALLY BE DISCHARGED LEAVING ONE STRANDED. HAD THE PROBLEM HAPPEN, HAD TO TAKE THE TRUCK APART TO BAIL OUT WATER, QUITE A LOT, THERE IS NO EXIT HOLE FOR THE WATER TO LEAVE THAT IT BUILDS UP AROUND THE SECURITY MODULE AND THE FOAM AROUND IT, SOAKS UP WATER. THAT WHILE THE MODULE LOOKS GOOD, I SEEN A BURNED AREA AND SMELLED A ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. THERE WAS SO MUCH WATER IN THE FOAM THAT IT WEIGHT WAS REAL HEAVY. SOLUTION HAVE A DRAIN HOLE IN THE BOTTOM OF BOTH TRUNK PITS, BELOW THE JACK. THAT A MATERIAL THAT DOES NOT ABSORB WATER BE USED. PLACE A COVER OVER THE MODULE TO WEATHERIZE IT.. WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE THAT A SOFT RUBBER SEAL SHOULD HAVE SEALED AROUND THE ROOF LATCH HOLE INSIDE THAT THE OUTSIDE IS OKAY UNTIL THE WINDOW SEAL LETS WATER IN. *TR

CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLE, ALL YEARS. REAR WINDOW DETACHES FROM THE CONVERTIBLE TOP. THIS IS NOT A SUDDEN INCIDENT, BUT ONE WHERE THE DETACHMENT IS GRADUAL. THE SAFETY ASPECT OF THIS PROBLEM RELATES TO WHEN FINALLY DETACHING COMPLETELY AND FALLING INSIDE THE VEHICLE, THE DRIVER DISTRACTION COULD EASILY CAUSE A VEHICLE ACCIDENT. IF FALLING OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE, RESULTING AVOIDANCE MANUVERS BY DRIVERS OF FOLLOWING VEHICLES COULD LEAD TO VEHICLE ACCIDENTS. MY LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER HAS REFUSED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM ON MY FAST-DETACHING REAR WINDOW, AND HAS INSTEAD DIRECTED ME TO A CORVETTE REPAIR FACILITY WHERE THE REPAIR WOULD BE ACCOMPLISHED AT MY EXPENSE. THE REAR WINDOW PROBLEM HAS BEEN WELL DOCUMENTED ON A CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE INTERNET FORUM WHERE MEMBERS DESCRIBE VARIOUS HOME FIXES ATTEMPTED, NONE WITH PERMANENT RESULTS. CHRYSLER SO FAR HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS SAFETY PROBLEM. *TR

THE CAR IS A 2005 CHRYSLER SRT-6 ROADSTER. THE REAR WINDOW (GLASS) HAS DELAMINATED FROM THE CLOTH TOP AND CAME LOOSE WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. THE ONLY THING THAT KEPT THE GLASS FROM COMING OUT OF THE CAR WAS THE SPADE CONNECTORS CONNECTING TO THE DEFROSTER. IF THIS HAD FALLEN OUT AND HIT A VEHICLE FOLLOWING ME OR FLEW FORWARD STRIKING THE DRIVER OR PASSENGER COULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT OR MAJOR INJURIES. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
IGNITION KEY MECHANISM DOES NOT WORK WITHOUT MOVING THE STEERING WHEEL BACK AND FORTH UNTIL IT RELEASES AND ALLOWS THE KEY TO START THE CAR. EVERYTIME THE CAR IS STOPPED, IT CAN TAKE UP TO 5 OR MORE MINUTES TO RESTART BY MOVING THE STEERING WHEEL BACK & FORTH WHILE TRYING TO TURN THE KEY. DEALERSHIP HAS NO ANSWERS. SAYS REPLACE PARTS ARE ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE WE PURCHASED THE CAR IN FEB OF 2009. *TR

I OWN A 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE LIMITED EDITION CONVERTIBLE. AUG 23, 2010 I NOTICE THE GLUE SEAL AROUND THE REAR GLASS DRIED UP, WHICH CAUSED THE REAR GLASS TO FALL OUT AND POTENTIAL CAUSE SEVER PROBLEMS FOR THE DRIVER IF NOT CAUGHT IN TIME. THIS IS A KNOWN MANUFACTURES DEFECT, HOWEVER, CHRYSLER WILL NOT OWN UP TO THIS PROBLEM. MY TOP IS LIKE NEW AND IT IS CLEAR TO ME AND OTHERS THIS IS A MFG DEFECT IN THE ADHESIVE. IN MY OPINION, CHRYSLER IS SHIFTING GEARS TO THE CONSUMER AND HOPING THE ISSUE HAPPENS AFTER THE WARRANTY PERIOD. I AM UNDER THE MILEAGE WARRANTY, HOWEVER, I WAS INFORM THE 1ST OWNER OF THE CAR IS WHEN THE WARRANTY BEGINS, THEREFORE, THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY BASED ON THE YEARS AND NOT MILEAGE! THE REPLACEMENT COST IS $3500 FOR A NEW TOP AND GLASS. WE NEED HELP OUT HERE AND YOUR INVESTIGATION IS GREATLY APPRECIATED.

IN 2009, I PURCHASED A 2005 CROSSFIRE, IT WAS IN PERFECT CONDITION WITH ONLY 32000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE KEPT IT IN MY GARAGE. THIS LAST APRIL, I NOTICED THE REAR GLASS WINDOW BEGAN TO SEPARATE FROM THE CANVAS TOP. I WAS SURPRISED TO FIND OUT IT IS ONLY SUPPORTED BY ADHESIVE GLUE. IT IS A GLASS WINDOW, WHAT WERE THEY THINKING, IT NEEDS BETTER SUPPORT. CHRYSLER HAS BEEN OF LITTLE HELP AND I HATE TO REPLACE DUE TO THE COST DUE AND BECAUSE THE TOP ITSELF IS STILL IN GOOD CONDITION. THEY NEED TO REMEDY THIS AS IT SEEMS TO BE A DEFECT. *TR

I OWN A 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE CONVERTABLE WITH 55,000 MILES ON IT. THIS MORNIGN I WENT TO GET IN THE CAR AND THE BACK WINDOW HAD SEPARATED FROM THE ROOF AND WAS HANGING BY THE DEFROST CONNECTORS. I TOOK IT TO MY CHRYSLER DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY HAD HAD A FEW DO THAT. THE ONLY REMIDY WAS TO REPLACE THE WHOLE TOP! ($2500 !!!) IT SEEMS THE HEAT SEAL ADHESIVE USED TO HOLD THE WINDOW IN PLACE IS INADEQUATE. I CHECKED THE INTERNET AND FOUR MANY REPORTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM. IS CHRYSLER NOT WILLING TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND STAND GOOD FOR THEIR PRODUCT? *TR

I PURCHASED MY CONVERTIBLE CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE ABOUT 2 1/2 YEARS AGO. ABOUT FIVE OR SIX WEEKS AGO I NOTICED THAT THE REAR WINDOW HAD COME UNGLUED. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A GLASS SHOP AND I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THE REPAIRMAN COULD DO BECAUSE THE WINDOW IS ATTACHED TO THE CONVERTIBLE TOP. HE SUGGESTED THAT I TAKE THE VEHICLE TO AN UPHOLSTERY SHOP. I ACTUALL Y TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THREE DIFFERENT UPHOLSTRY SHOPS AND ALL THREE TOLD ME THAT THE TOP WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. I TRIED FILING AN INSURANCE CLAIM. THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO. I CONTACTED THE CHRYSLER HEADQUARTERS CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE WHERE I WAS GREETED BY A RUDE INDIVIDUAL TELLING ME THAT THERE IS NOTHING THAT CHRYSLER COULD DO. I AM NOW AT A POINT OF FRUSTRATION AND DISAPPOINTMENT. I STILL HAVE 1 1/2 LEFT TO MAKE PAYMENTS ON THIS VEHICLE THAT I WON'T BE ABLE TO DRIVE. *TR
