VISIBILITY
THIS VEHICLE HAS A DESIGN FLAW. THE REAR GLASS ON THE CONVERTIBLE TOP COMES UNGLUED FROM THE CANVAS CREAATING A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION WHEREBY THE GLASS CAN ACT LIKE A PROJECTILE TRAVELING EITHER FORWARD, INJURING OR KILLING THE PASSENGERS, OR BACKWARDS, WREAKING HAVOC ON VEHICLES BEHIND. CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THIS CONDITION YET MOST OF THE EMPLOYEES I HAVE COME IN CONTACT WITH CLAIM TO HAVE NEVER HEARD ABOUT IT. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OR MORE VEHICLES INVOLVED. CHRYSLER HAS ADOPTED A POLICY OF RANDOMLY CHOOSING TO REPAIR SOME VEHICLES WHILE NOT REPAIRING OTHERS. THEY HAVE REJECTED MY CLAIM TWICE, WHILE OTHER OWNERS I HAVE SPOKEN WITH WITH THE SAME PROBLEM ARE AWAITING REPAIRS AS SOON AS NEXT WEEK. THEY HAVE CLAIMED THAT THEY ARE ONLY FIXING CARS IN CERTAIN STATES. CALIFORNIA IS NOT ONE OF THEM, ALTHOUGH I WOULD THINK THAT THEY SOLD MANY CROSSFIRE ROADSTERS HERE. I THINK IT IS RECKLESS AND DANGEROUS FOR CHRYSLER TO MAINTAIN THIS DANGEROUS CONDITION. *TR

EQUIPMENT, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I HAVE 2005 CROSSFIRE THAT HAS BEEN STALLING INTERMITTENTLY. WHEN IT STALLS, IT USUALLY STARTS RIGHT UP, BUT A FEW TIMES IT HAS STALLED AND WHEN I TRY TO RESTART IT THE ENGINE DOES NOT TRY TO TURN OVER. THE LIGHTS STAY ON SO THERE'S POWER, BUT WHEN I TURN THE KEY...NOTHING! IT USUALLY STARTS UP AFTER A FEW MINUTES THIS MAKES ME VERY NERVOUS THAT SOMEONE WILL CRASH INTO ME! NOW THIS HAS HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE! IS CHRYSLER OBLIGATED TO RECALL THIS ISSUE? HERE ARE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS: (1) I HAVE 2005 CROSSFIRE ROADSTER THAT HAS BEEN STALLING INTERMITTENTLY. WHEN IT STALLS, IT USUALLY STARTS RIGHT UP, BUT A FEW TIMES IT HAS STALLED AND WHEN I TRY TO RESTART IT THE ENGINE DOES NOT TRY TO TURN OVER. THE LIGHTS STAY ON SO THERE'S POWER, BUT WHEN I TURN THE KEY...NOTHING! IT USUALLY STARTS UP AFTER A FEW MINUTES BUT IT'S A PAIN IN THE NECK WHEN YOU'RE SITTING IN TRAFFIC! I REPLACED THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR SO THAT'S NOT IT. ANY SUGGESTIONS? HAS ANYONE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS? (2) I JUST BOUGHT AN AUTOMATIC '05 CROSSFIRE ROADSTER AND I HAVE EXPERIENCED MULTIPLE TIMES NOW THAT, WHEN GETTING TO A STOP, THE ENGINE WILL STALL.IT EVEN DIED THREE TIMES ALREADY.IT IS NOT REPETITIVE AND DIFFICULT TO REPRODUCE. NO ERRORS OR ENGINE CHECK LIGHT SHOW UP AND THE DEALER CANNOT REPRODUCE EITHER.IS ANYBODY EXPERIENCING THIS SAME ISSUE? WHERE YOU ABLE TO SOLVE IT? PLEASE HELP THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP. *TR

2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLE TOP HAS DEFECTIVE REAR WINDOW ADHESION CAUSING THE WINDOW TO BECOME SEPARATED FROM THE TOP. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT CHRYSLER TELLS ME DOES NOT PERTAIN TO MY VIN NUMBER BUT DOES PERTAIN TO OTHER 2005 OWNERS. I CANNOT GET A REASON WHY AS THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM OR SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW TO PROCEED. THANK YOU *TR

VISIBILITY:GLASS, SIDE/REAR, STRUCTURE
THE REAR WINDOW IS DETACHING FROM THE CONVERTIBLE TOP. IT HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE OVER THE PAST YEAR AND THE WINDOW COULD FALL OUT AT ANY TIME WITHOUT A REPAIR. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE 2005 ROADSTER MODELS, CHRYSLER HAS REFUSED TO ISSUE A GENERAL RECALL. AS A RESULT, MY LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER IN SEMINOLE FLORIDA WILL NOT REPLACE NOR REPAIR THE TOP. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
CAR WOULDN'T START SEVERAL TIMES SINCE PURCHASE. THE BATTERY WAS FULLY CHARGED, TOOK IT TO A CHRYSLER DEALER WHO "CLEANED UP SOME GROUNDS". THE LIGHTS, STEREO, ETC WORKED BUT THE MOTOR DIDN'T EVEN MAKE A SOUND WHEN TRYING TO START. ONE TIME WHEN IT DID START I WAS MAKING A TURN WHEN THE CAR COMPLETELY DIED...I DIDN'T REALIZE IT AT FIRST BECAUSE THE HEATER, RADIO, PANEL WERE ALL LIT UP AND WORKING. I WAS VERY LUCKY TO BE ABLE TO MAKE IT SAFELY TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED BACK TO THE GARAGE. WHEN THEY STARTED WORKING ON IT, THE PANEL BEHIND THE GLOVE BOX STARTED SMOKING. I NOW HAVE A VERY NICE, USELESS LITTLE CAR WITH ONLY 50,000 MILES ON IT BECAUSE #CHRYSLER CAN'T FIX IT FOR ME. *TR

I PURCHASED THIS CAR USED WITH 28,400 MILES ON IT FROM A DEALER AND HAD NO PROBLEMS AT ALL FOR MY FIRST 1000 MILES. I LOVED THE CAR! HOWEVER, THEN BEGAN THE LOCKED UP IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEM. AT FIRST, IT WAS MINOR, I ONLY HAD TO TRY TURNING THE KEY A DOZEN TIMES BEFORE IT WOULD START, BUT THAT GOT A LITTLE WORSE EVERY DAY. THEN TODAY, 6 MONTHS LATER, IT TOOK ABOUT 500 ATTEMPTS AND 20 MINUTES BEFORE IT STARTED. NOW I NEED A MECHANIC AND EXCEPT TO SPEND UPWARDS OF A $1000. I'VE PROBABLY HAD 25 DIFFERENT CARS IN MY LIFETIME AND NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING CLOSE TO THIS. DOESN'T CHRYSLER RECOGNIZE THIS IS THEIR MANUFACTURING DEFECT? HAVEN'T THEY READ THE CROSSFIRE FORUM? I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO. IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL! *TR

I PARKED MY CAR AT A SHOP'S PARKING LOT AND DIDN'T HAVE ANY ISSUES. ABOUT 20 MINUTES LATER I CAME BACK TO MY CAR AND TRIED TO GET THE ENGINE TO TURN OVER AND THE IGNITION WOULD NOT TURN. I TRIED WITH BOTH OF MY KEYS AND I COULDN'T GET THE IGNITION TO TURN. THE STEERING WHEEL ALSO WAS LOCKED UP. I HAD TO TAKE APART MY DASH BOARD TO GET TO THE IGNITION SO I COULD RELEASE THE LOCKING PIN. ONCE THE PIN WAS RELEASED I HAD NO PROBLEMS STARTING THE CAR. *TR
