VISIBILITY/WIPER
WHILE PARKED IN MY GARAGE THE REAR WINDOW ON MY 2007 CONVERTIBLE CROSSFIRE BEGAN TO SEPARATE FROM THE TOP. CHRYSLER TOLD ME I HAD TO TAKE IT TO AN UPHOLSTERY SHOP WITH WOULD COST ME $750 - $1400 FOR A NEW TOP. I USED 3M WINDOW WELD AND IT HELD FOR A WHILE BUT THEN BEGAN TO SEPARATE AGAIN. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME IT HAS STARTED TO SEPARATE. I WAS TOLD THAT A NEW TOP WOULD LAST 1-2 YEARS FOR OF COURSE $1400. I STILL SEE NO RECALL FOR THIS DEFECT. THE PROBLEM STARTED IN 2012.

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.

TOOK BACK TO DEALER TODAY 12/03/15 WHO INDICATED THAT IT MUST BE THE AIRBAG SINCE THE HORN IS ATTACHED TO AIRBAG AND IT MUST BE THE AIRBAG THAT IS CORRODING THE SWITCH TO THE HORN IN THE STEERING WHEEL.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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

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.

THE REAR WINDOW OF THE CONVERTIBLE TOP IS FALLING OUT. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE WAS BUILT IN OCTOBER 2005, BUT IS CONSIDERED A 2006 MODEL. CHRYSLER TSB 23-035-11 REV A COVERS THE PROBLEM FOR 2005 MODELS. THIS COMMON PROBLEM EFFECTS MORE THAN 2005 VEHICLES. ON 9-11-2015 CHRYSLER WAS CONTACTED (CASE # 27856344). THEY DENIED RESPONSIBILITY. CLAIMED (1) TSA ONLY APPLIED TO VEHICLES IN SOUTHERN STATES (I PROVIDED THEM WITH A REPAIR ORDER FROM WESTBURY CHRYSLER IN WESTBURY, NEW YORK THAT APPLIED THE TSB & PROVIDED NO CHARGE REPLACEMENT TOP. NEW YORK IS NOT A SOUTHERN STATE); (2) TSA ONLY APPLIED TO 2005 VEHICLES (I PROVIDED THEM INFORMATION WHERE TSB HAD BEEN APPLIED TO A 2008 VEHICLE). THIS VEHICLE IS GARAGED MOST DAYS AND HAS ONLY 34,590 MILES. THIS SAFETY PROBLEM IS DUE TO A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM THAT MANUFACTURE IS TRYING TO AVOID. VEHICLE IS IN ST. LOUIS, MO
