ATTENTION: JOHN ABBOTT I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS CAR. THERE IS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY UNDER A TSB ISSUED BY CHRYSLER CALLED X31. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, X31 SAYS THAT 2005 CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLES THAT ARE UNDER 10 YEARS OLD AND UNDER 100,000 AND DELIVERED IN ANY OF 9 STATES ARE COVERED BY X31. MY CAR WAS BOUGHT IN DALLAS (ONE OF THE 9 INCLUDED STATES) IN JULY 2005 (UNDER 10 YEARS OLD) AND HAS UNDER 31,000 MILES. THE CAR HAS ALWAYS BEEN GARAGE KEPT. WHEN WE PURCHASED THE CAR THE DEALERSHIP LOOKED NATIONWIDE FOR THE CAR WITH EXACTLY WHAT WE WANTED AND FOUND ONE IN WISCONSIN. THE DEALER IN DALLAS, BOUGHT AND SHIPPED THE CAR TO PRESTON CHRYSLER, WHERE I PURCHASED IT. CHRYSLER SAYS THE CAR WAS DELIVERED TO WISCONSIN AND THEREFORE IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. EVEN IF THE CAR WAS ORIGINALLY DELIVERED TO A DEALER IN WISCONSIN, IT WAS PURCHASED, NEW, IN TEXAS. I UNDERSTAND CHRYSLER NOT HAVING THIS CAR ON THEIR RECALL LIST, BUT I DON'T BELIEVE IT SHOULD TAKE THAT MUCH EFFORT FOR THEM TO REALIZED THAT THE CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW IN TEXAS AND INCLUDE THIS VIN IN THE WARRANTY. CHRYSLER HAS AGREED TO OPEN A CASE AND I TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP TODAY. I AM DETERMINED TO GET THIS RESOLVED IN MY FAVOR. CHRYSLER HAS NOT SAID THEY WOULDN'T FIX IT, BUT IS TALKING ABOUT DEDUCTIBLES OR OUTRIGHT COST TO ME. THOUSANDS OF THESE TOPS HAVE FAILED AND HUNDREDS WERE FIXED FOR FREE. I BELIEVE MY CAR FITS INTO BOTH CATEGORIES...UPDATED 08/26/15 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AT THE MANUFACTURER'S EXPENSE. UPDATED 12/4/2015 *JS

AS MANY 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLE TOPS , THE REAR WINDOW GLASS IS SEPARATING FROM THE CONVERTIBLE FABRIC. THE ADHESIVE HAS TO BE DEFECTIVE ON ALL TOPS...NOW PEOPLE ARE SAYING THAT 2008 ARE SEPARATING ALSO....THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE SOME WINDOWS HAVE DETACHED DRIVING. CHRYSLER DID RECALL TOPS FOR SOME CARS,BUT ONLY IN A FEW STATES IT IS HAPPENING MORE THEN THEY HAVE MADE IT OUT TO BE. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS AS THAT WAS NOT A FAIR ASSESSMENT TO ONLY A FEW CARS WHEN ALL 2005 HAVE THIS PROBLEM... !..UPDATED 08/13/15 *BF

ORIGINAL OWNER CAR, LIMITED USE, GARAGE KEPT IN CALIFORNIA (STATE OF PURCHASE). NOTICED THAT REAR WINDOW IN CONVERTIBLE TOP IS STARTING TO DETACH ON ONE SIDE. I'M AWARE THAT CHRYSLER HAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR CARS PURCHASED IN CERTAIN "HIGH HUMIDITY" STATES, BUT CALIFORNIA IS OUTSIDE THAT COVERAGE AND SO AM NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THE WARRANTY REPAIR, YET I HAVE THE EXACT SAME ISSUE.

I HAVE A TWO 2005 CROSSFIRE SRT6 ROADSTER THAT THE REAR WINDOWS HAVE DETACHED FROM THE CANVAS AND FALLEN OUT. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME IT HAS OCCURRED ON BOTH VEHICLES. THE 1ST TWO TIMES THE DEALER/CHRYSLER REPLACED THE TOP WITH A DEDUCTIBLE PAYMENT.OF $200. THURSDAY, 5/14/2015 THE WINDOW CAME APART FROM THE CANVAS (3RD TIME ) THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM IN THE CROSSFIRE COMMUNITY. IT IS A POTENTIAL HAZARD IF THE WINDOW FLIES OUT WHEN THE CAR IS MOVING. I AM IN CURRENT CONTACT WITH CHRYSLER AS THE INITIAL DATE OF SERVICE WAS 04/15/2005. THEREFORE THE VEHICLE IS 1 MONTH OUT OF THE 10 YEAR/100K REPLACEMENT BY 1 MONTH.UNDER THE TPA CHRYSLER IMPOSED AND GUARANTEED FOR ONLY SPECIFIC STATES. (WARM WEATHER STATES)

I HAVE HAD MY CAR SINCE 2006 HOWEVER I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE BECAUSE THE IGNITION SWITCH DOESN'T TURN. I WOULD GET IT FIX OUT OF POCKET BUT I ONLY HAVE 33,000 ORIGINAL MILES ON IT, AND I DON'T THINK A CAR THAT HAS THIS LITTLE OF MILES SHOULD HAVE THIS KIND OF PROBLEM.

I AM ONE OF THOSE AFFECTED BY THE REAR WINDOW FALLING OUT OF THE CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE. AT FIRST THEY OFFERED TO GET ME A NEW TOP FOR $700. GOODWILL THEY SAID. I TOLD THEM I COULDN'T AFFORD IT. THEY WOUND UP RESENDING THE OFFER AND REFUSED TO HELP ME AT ALL. I TRY TO REGLUE THE WINDOW BUT IT FALLS OUT AGAIN. I AM IN NJ WHICH IS NOT ONE OF THE STATES THEY WERE HELPING PEOPLE IN. PLEASE HAVE CHRYSLER RECALL ALL CROSSFIRES FOR THIS KNOWN PROBLEM. THANKS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, THE REAR WINDOW IN THE CONVERTIBLE TOP DETACHED AND FELL OUT, CAUSING THE CAR BEHIND ME TO...REACT IN A VERY UNSAFE MANNER. THE SUDDEN WIND INSIDE MY CAR CAUSED A VERY UNSAFE CONDITION. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO A NUMBER OF CROSSFIRE OWNERS. BIG PROBLEM. WHEN IT DETACHED, IT RIPPED OUT THE WIRING FOR THE DEFOGGER AND SCRATCHED THE TONNEAU COVER. *TR

WENT OUT TO MY CAR AND FOUND THE REAR WINDOW GLASS HAD FALLEN OUT. BONDING ADHESIVE FAILURE. CHRYSLER HAD AN ILLOGICAL AND ARBITRARY TSB SET UP TO REPLACE THE CONVERTIBLE TOPS WITH REAR WINDOW ADHESIVE FAILURE BUT IT ONLY COVERED 2005 MODEL YEAR ROADSTERS AND A VERY LIMITED NUMBER OF CARS THAT WERE ORIGINALLY DELIVERED TO DEALERS IN A NINE SELECTED STATES. THE REALITY IS THAT ALL CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE ROADSTERS FROM 2005 TO 2008 MODEL YEARS WILL EVENTUALLY HAVE THEIR REAR WINDOW GLASS FALL OUT DUE TO THE FAILURE OF THE BONDING ADHESIVE. CHRYSLER'S "BAND AIDE" FIX WAS WOEFULLY INADEQUATE AND INEXPLICABLY LIMITED. *TR
