THIS BULLETIN SUPERSEDES SERVICE BULLETIN 23-035-11, DATED SEPTEMBER 01, 2011, WHICH SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM YOUR FILES. THIS IS A COMPLETE REVISION AND NO ASTERISKS HAVE BEEN USED TO HIGHLIGHT REVISIONS. SUBJECT: CONVERTIBLE SOFT TOP BACK GLASS LOOSE AND/OR DETACHED FROM FABRIC (10 YR. / 100,000 MILE WARRANTY EXTENSION) OVERVIEW: THIS BULLETIN INVOLVES INSPECTING THE CONVERTIBLE SOFT TOP BACK GLASS AND IF NECESSARY REPLACING THE CONVERTIBLE TOP COVER. MODELS: 2005 (ZH) CROSSFIRE ROADSTER NOTE: THIS EXTENDED WARRANTY BULLETIN APPLIES TO VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH CONVERTIBLE SOFT TOP. SYMPTOM/CONDITION: THE CUSTOMER MAY EXPERIENCE CONVERTIBLE SOFT TOP BACK GLASS LOOSE AND/OR DETACHED FROM FABRIC. DIAGNOSIS: IF THE CUSTOMER DESCRIBES THE SYMPTOM, PERFORM THE REPAIR PROCEDURE. MY REAR GLASS FELL OUT OF MY CONVERTIBLE WHILE IT WAS SITTING STILL, I DID MY RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2005 YEAR MODEL. I FOUND THAT CHRYSLER PUT A TEN YEAR 100,000 MILE WARRANTY ON THE TOP WHICH IS COVERED BY THE SERVICE BULLETIN LISTED ABOVE. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND WAS TOLD THAT NOT ALL ARE COVERED BECAUSE THEY ARE STATE SPECIFIC WHICH IS BULL AND THEY SHOULD COVER ALL TOP THAT DEVELOP THE PROBLEM NO MATTER WHERE YOU LIVE, A DEFECT IS A DEFECT NO MATTER WHERE YOU LIVE. *TR

THE REAR WINDOW CAME UNGLUED FROM THE CONVERTIBLE TOP WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. IF THE DEFROSTER CABLE HAD NOT HELD THE WINDOW WOULD HAVE FLOWN OUT, AND COULD HAVE SERIOUSLY HARMED OTHER MOTORISTS. CHRYSLER KNOWS OF THIS ISSUE AND HAS ISSUED TSB 23-035-11 WHICH ACKNOWLEDGES THE DEFECT AND WILL REPAIR IT, BUT ONLY FOR CARS SENT TO CERTAIN DEALERSHIPS. THIS SHOULD BE FIXED ON ALL 2005 CROSSFIRES. THE VEHICLE IS NOW UNDRIVEABLE AND HAS TO HAVE THE ENTIRE TOP REPLACED. *TR

VISIBILITY, STRUCTURE
THE 2005 (ONLY) CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLE HAS A FAULTY SEAL BONDING THE BACKGLASS TO THE TOP CAUSING IT TO BECOME DISLODGED FROM THE TOP TRAVELING OR PARKED. CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE DEFECT CALLING IT A "TRIM" PIECE. A VEHICLE TRAVELING ON THE EXPRESSWAY OR HIGHWAY LOSING ITS' BACKGLASS IS NOT A TRIM BUT A DANGEROUS DEFECT THAT MUST BE RECALLED. MODELS AFTER 2005 HAD THIS DEFECT CORRECTED. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHEN YOU PUT THE KEY IN TO START ENGINE IT WON'T TURN IN ANY DIRECTION. CAN NOT REMOVE KEY. SHOOK, JIGGLED, TURNED , KEY WITH NO MOVEMENT. TOOK ABOUT 3 HOURS OF SHAKING KEY IN LOCK BEFORE IT WORKED. HAS DONE THIS EVERY TIME THE LAST FEW TIMES I DROVE CAR. NOW THE CAR JUST SITS IN THE DRIVEWAY. I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT WILL NOT EVER TURN AGAIN. WOULD NOT LIKE TO HAVE THE ENGINE DIE ON FREEWAY AND HAVE TO RE-START THE ENGINE WITH THE KEY ACTING THE WAY THAT IT DOES, WOULD BE SITTING IN TRAFFIC SHAKING THE KEY FOR 2 TO 3 HOURS. *TR

REAR GLASS HAS SEPARATED FROM CONVERTIBLE TOP AT THE BOTTOM FOR 10 TO 12 INCHES. FEAR THAT THE REST WILL PULL FREE IF I CONTINUE TO DRIVE. CALLED REPAIR PLACES AND WAS TOLD IT COULD NOT BE REPAIRED DUE TO THE WAY IT WAS MANUFACTURED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. CAR IS GARAGE KEPT AND DRIVEN 3500 MILES A YEAR, TOP LOOKS LIKE NEW OTHERWISE. HAVE INFORMED MY LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP WHERE I HAVE INSPECTION AND OIL CHANGES PERFORMED AND WAS TOLD THAT SOMEONE WOULD CONTACT ME. NOTHING AS OF YET. *TR

THE REAR WINDOW IN MY 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE ROADSTER BECAME UNGLUED AND WILL NOT STAY IN PLACE; THIS MAKES THE CAR UNSAFE TO DRIVE, AS THE WINDOW MAY COME OUT AT ANY TIME, STRING SOMEONE OR CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED IN NOV 2008 WITH ONLY 16,800 MILES ON IT, AND HAS BEEN GARAGE KEPT SINCE. THIS IS A KNOWN MANUFACTURING DEFECT, HAVING AFFECTED DOZENS OF THESE CARS, AS WELL AS OTHER CHRYSLER CONVERTIBLES PRODUCED DURING THAT TIME. CHRYSLER HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THE ISSUE, BUT WILL ONLY REPAIR VEHICLES DELIVERED TO SPECIFIC SOUTHERN STATES, NO MATTER WHERE YOU LIVE, BOUGHT THE CAR, ETC. *TR

THE REAR WINDOW SEPARATED FROM THE CONVERTIBLE TOP. THIS HAPPENED 2 MONTHS AFTER I CAME OUT OF A 7YR WARRANTY THAT I PAID A LOT FOR. I CALLED CHRYSLER. THEY SAID THEY ARE ONLY FIXING TOPS THAT WERE ORIGINALLY SENT TO SOUTHERN STATES. SO NO LUCK FOR ME--IT DOES GET HOT IN PHILA. THE DEALER WON'T DO ANYTHING. THE CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE FORUM IS FULL OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS DEFECT. THIS IS VERY DISCOURAGING THAT AN AMERICAN CAR MAKER WON'T STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. *TR

VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE REAR GLASS WINDOW IN THE CONVERTIBLE SOFT TOP HAS COME UNGLUED AND IS FALLING OUT. THIS IS A SEVERE ISSUE WITH THIS MAKE OF CAR AND CHRYSLER REFUSES TO REPAIR OR REPLACE IT. AT ONE TIME, CHRYSLER AGREED TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY ON THESE VEHICLES TO 10 YEARS OR 100,000 MILES BUT ONLY TO CROSSFIRES THAT WERE SHIPPED TO CERTAIN SOUTHERN STATES, SUCH AS SOUTH CAROLINA, GEORGIA, FLORIDA, TENNESSEE, ALABAMA, MISSISSIPPI AND TEXAS. THEY FEEL ONLY THE CARS THAT ARE IN THESE WARMER CLIMATE STATES WILL BE AFFECTED. MY CAR IS A 2005 MODEL THAT I PURCHASED AS A USED VEHICLE FROM CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IN JULY 2012, WHO DID NOT TELL ME ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND REFUSE TO REPAIR OR REPLACE THE TOP. IT WAS SHIPPED TO MI IN 2005 AND THEN WAS REGISTERED IN SC IN 2006. MY FEELING IS ALL OF THE AFFECTED CARS SHOULD BE UNDER WARRANTY AS IT'S A MANYFACTURER DEFECT. NOW I WILL BE RESPONSIBLE TO PAY AN ADDITIONAL $2,300 FOR A NEW TOP THAT WILL EVENTURALLY HAVE THE REAR WINDOW FALL OUT AGAIN. GOOGLE THIS PROBLEM AND YOU WILL SEE IT'S NATIONWIDE IF NOT WORLDWIDE. A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT NEEDS TO BE STARTED AGAINST CHRYSLER AND MERCEDES. *TR
