TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE ROADSTER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE REAR GLASS WINDOW PARTIALLY DETACHED FROM THE SOFT TOP CONVERTIBLE ROOF WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE THE WINDOW GLASS WAS REMOVED IN ORDER TO RESUME OPERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO ADVISED THE CONVERTIBLE SOFT TOP WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER ISSUED A VOLUNTARY RECALL PERTAINING TO THE REPLACEMENT OF THE CONVERTIBLE SOFT TOP HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,000.

BACK WINDOW FELL OUT OF 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLE. DEALER OFFERS NO FIX. POOR CRAFTSMANSHIP. BASED ON WEB FORUMS, IT IS COMMON AND CHRYSLER DOES NOTHING TO SUPPORT THEIR LOYAL CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE BOTH THESE CARS. WINDOWS SHOULD NOT FALL OUT OF CARS... 42K MILES. *TR

2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE LIMITED CONVERTIBLE - REAR WINDOW GLASS CAME UNATTACHED FALLING ONTO AREA BEHIND FRONT SEATS. TOP STILL SLIGHTLY ATTACHED, THUS PREVENTING GLASS FROM FALLING ONTO DRIVER/PASSENGER AREA HEADRESTS. CAR IS GARAGED, OUTSIDE ONLY DURING DRIVING. CHRYSLER REFUSES TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR AN APPARENT MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT OCCURRING IN MANY OF THESE CARS (NOTE NUMEROUS REPORTS OF THIS ON SEVERAL WEBSITES). *TR

2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE ROADSTER: REAR GLASS WINDOW IN CONVERTIBLE TOP SEPARATED FROM FABRIC. ALTHOUGH THE WINDOW HAS NOT YET FALLEN OUT COMPLETELY, RESEARCH ON INTERNET INDICATES THAT THIS IS AN EXTREMELY COMMON PROBLEM IN CROSSFIRES AND THE PROBLEM WILL PROGRESS UNTIL THE WINDOW FALLS OUT COMPLETELY. IF THIS WINDOW WERE TO FALL OUT WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS NOT ONLY COULD IT STARTLE THE DRIVER TO THE POINT OF LOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE BUT COULD INJURE OR KILL ANYONE FOLLOWING OR NEAR THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT BY CHRYSLER AND SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD WHICH THEY HAVE IGNORED FOR YEARS.

GLUE ON BACK GLASS HAS SEPARATED ON ONE THIRD OF GLASS. IF IT CONTINUES ,THE GLASS COULD FALL OUT. IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN WHILE APPLYING BRAKES, I DON'T WANT TO THINK OF THE CONSEQUENCES.

THE REAR WINDOW CAME UNGLUED FROM THE CONVERTIBLE TOP ON MY 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE. CAR STAYS IN THE GARAGE WHEN NOT DRIVING AND IS WELL MAINTAINS WITH NO ACCIDENTS. CHRYSLER SAID IT WAS NOT A DEFECT AND IS NOT COVERED IN THEIR EXTENDED WARRANTY WHICH I WAS TOLD WAS "BUMPER TO BUMPER" AT THE TIME OF SALE. THEY WILL NOT REPAIR THE GLASS AND SAID I HAVE TO REPLACE THE TOP FOR OVER $3,000. *TR

THE REAR GLASS WINDOW IN MY CROSSFIRE ROADSTER JUST FELL OUT. THE VEHICLE IS GARAGED KEPT, HAS 27K MILES, AND TOP LOOKS LIKE NEW. AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH ON THE WEB THIS TURNS OUT TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS VEHICLE AND I WOULD SAY A FACTORY DEFECT. MINE DID NOT OCCUR WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD BUT I CAN SEE THIS EASILY HAPPENING IF IT FELL OUT WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WITH THE WINDOWS DOWN. THE GLASS COULD GO STRAIGHT OUT THE BACK. *KB

ADD ME TO THE LIST AS MANY OTHERS HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLE REAR GLASS FALLING OUT OF THE CAR BECAUSE OF POOR WORKMANSHIP. IT WAS GLUED IN WITH NO OTHER SUPPORT AND THE GLASS JUST CAME LOOSE SITTING IN THE CARPORT. THIS SEEMS TO BE A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL CAR. I HAVE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH CHRYSLER SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THEY REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. IT PRESENTS A SAFETY HAZARD AND I AM REGISTERING A FORMAL COMPLAINT TO AT LEAST HAVE THIS INVESTIGATED FOR ITS POTENTIAL DANGER. *KB

2 DAYS AGO, IT WAS HOTT HERE IN VEGAS, MY CAR IS GARAGE KEPT BUT HAD TO PARK OUTSIDE. WHEN I RETURNED TO MY CAR AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR, THE BLACK GLASS IN THE CONVERTIBLE TOP JUST FELL OUT. IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE LIKE THIS BUT I HAVE NO CHOICE AS THE TOPS ARE ON BACKORDER AND I AM NOT SURE IF I WILL EVER GET ONE. I CURRENTLY HAVE TO BIG BLANKETS ON THE DECK HOLDING IT IN PLACE AS PART OF THE SEAL IS HOLDING, BUT THIS WILL NOT LAST LONG. *TR

AS I WAS PULLING OUT OF MY PARKING SPACE AFTER WORK, THE REAR WINDOW OF MY CONVERTIBLE FELL INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT OF THE CAR. SCARED THE HELL OUT OF ME. FORTUNATELY I WASN'T GOING VERY QUICKLY OR I MIGHT HAVE LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR. GOT THE CAR HOME AND LOOKED THE ISSUE UP ON THE INTERNET AND WAS SURPRISED TO FIND THAT APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR, CHRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT IT, BUT WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM. THEIR ANSWER IS TO INSTALL A NEW ROOF AT $3,800. I CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE A PIECE OF GLASS COMING LOOSE LIKE THAT IN A MOVING VEHICLE CAN CAUSE A REAL PROBLEM.

05' CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE ROADSTER CONVERTIBLE. THE BACK WINDOW GLASS IS FALLING OUT. BEEN ADVISED THAT THE GLUE WAS FAULTY MANUFACTURER ISSUE. THE TOP FABRIC APPEARS TO BE SHRINKING AND PULLED AWAY MAKING THE WINDOW TO COME APART FROM THE CONVERTIBLE TOP. THIS IS NOT ONLY A HAZARD TO DRIVERS & PASSENGERS BUT ALSO TO ONCOMING VEHICLES OR VEHICLES FOLLOWING IF THIS SHOULD COME OUT COMPLETELY WHILE DRIVING AT NORMAL SPEED LIMITS. I AM HOPING CHRYSLER- DAIMLER CORPORATION WILL HAVE IT AS A RECALL SINCE THERE HAVE BEEN MANY MANY MANY CHRYSLER CUSTOMERS ON RECORD WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS SHOULD BE 100% REPAIRED BY THE CHRYSLER OR AT LEAST OWNERS SHOULD BE COMPENSATED 100% FOR REPAIRS. *TR

THIS IS A 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE WE HAVE OWNED AND GARAGE KEPT FOR 3YRS WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS UNTIL TODAY WHEN THE BACK WINDOW ON THE CONVERTIBLE TOP BECAME DELAMINATED. SEARCHING THE INTERNET I FOUND THAT THIS MAY BE A COMMON PROBLEM FOR OTHER OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE.I DONT UNDERSTAND HOW THIS METHOD OF INSTALLATION FROM THE FACTORY COULD BE CONSIDERED QUALITY WORK BECAUSE ITS JUST GLUED ONTO THE DENIM CLOTH. THIS CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT OR TREATED IN A NEGLIGENT MANNER IT IS WELL TAKEN CARE OF AND THERE IS NO REASON FOR THIS TO HAPPEN EXCEPT FOR POOR MANUFACTURING PROCESSES. *TR
