VISIBILITY:REAR WINDOW WIPER/WASHER
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.

STRUCTURE:BODY
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.

THE ANTI BRAKING SYSTEM ON THE 2004 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE IS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY, THE WARNING LIGHT COMES ON WHEN YOU SLOW THE VEHICLE OR WHEN YOU ARE BRAKING. THE WARNING LIGHT IS THE ANTI-BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE LIGHT. ALSO WITH THAT LIGHT, IS THE BRAKE ASSIST LIGHT INDICATOR. ALTHOUGH THE CAR IS RUNNING FINE AND THERE SEEMS TO BE NO ISSUE WITH THE SYSTEM THE LIGHTS COME ON. *TR

EVER SINCE I HAVE HAD MY CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE THE IGNITION CYLINDER HAS GIVEN MY PROBLEMS, KEY WILL NOT TURN IN CYLINDER, NOT EVEN TO POSITION ONE! AND THIS HAPPENS OF A DAILY BASIS. AFTER A FEW TRIES TO JERK THE STEERING WHEEL IT WILL TURN ON BUT NOT THE LAST TIME AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID $1250 TO REPAIR THE CYLINDER AND THAT MAY NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. HAVE TALKED TO MANY CROSSFIRE OWNERS AND THEY ALL HAVE HAD TO SAME ISSUE, WHY IS THIS NOT A RECALL? *TR

VISIBILITY:GLASS, SIDE/REAR
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

IGNITION PROBLEM TURNING THE KEY TO START MY 2004 CROSSFIRE. THERE ARE TIMES IT IS TAKING 10 TO 15 MINUTES TO START MY CAR. I HAVE TO KEEP JIGGLING THE STEERING WHEEL AND REPEATEDLY TURNING THE KEY TO GET IT TO FINALLY TURN TO START MY VEHICLE. I AM SEEING OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM AND BELIEVE THIS IS A DEFECT THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD BE ADDRESSING. I ALSO NOW AM WONDERING READING THE OTHER COMPLAINTS IF THERE MAY BE A PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING LOCK SYSTEM THAT WILL CAUSE A PROBLEM WHILE DRIVING. SINCE I AM EXPERIENCING THE TROUBLE NOW WITH STARTING MY VEHICLE I DON'T WANT TO HAVE PROBLEM WITH THIS LOCKING WHILE DRIVING. I WILL BE CONTACTING THE DEALERSHIP IN MY AREA TO SEE WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE TO FIX THIS ISSUE. I BELIEVE SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED WITH THIS BECAUSE BEING A WOMEN I DON'T WON'T TO BE STRANDED BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE THAT I FEEL IS A DEFECT IN THE DESIGN. I DON'T BELIEVE AT 46,000 MILES I SHOULD BE HAVING THIS ISSUE. *TR

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.
