STEERING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
IGNITION KEY MECHANISM "LOCKS" AND CANNOT BE TURNED TO START THE VEHICLE LEAVING USER STRANDED AND REQUIRING TOW. THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM EXPERIENCED BY MANY USERS OF THIS VEHICLE (SEE COMMENTS AT WWW.CROSSFIREFORUM.ORG; SEARCHFOR "IGNITION, LOCK, CYLINDER") AND APPEARS EVEN IN VEHICLES WITH VERY LOW MILEAGE. DEALER ADVICE IS TO REPLACE THE "IGNITION LOCK CYLINDER" WHICH IS A VERY EXPENSIVE PROPOSITION. SOME REPORT THAT THE NEW PART ALSO FAILS WITHIN A RELATIVELY SHORT TIME. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECTIVE COMPONENT THAT SHOULD BE REPLACED WITH A RELIABLE ONE. I WAS STUCK IN A PARKING LOT AT 112F (SOUTHWEST US LOCATION) FOR 1/2 HOUR TRYING TO GET THE IGNITION MECHANISM TO TURN. THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE DUE TO A STEERING WHEEL LOCKING PIN THAT BECOMES JAMMED. IF THIS HAPPENS WHILE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN, THEN IT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *TR

2006 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLE. BACK GLASS FELL OUT. APPEARS THAT IT IS GLUED INTO THE TOP AND THE GLUE FAILED. WORD FROM CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IS THAT THERE IS NO FIX FOR IT. ONLY SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE ENTIRE CONVERTIBLE TOP AT A COST OF 2400 DOLLARS. HARD TO BELIEVE THAT IT CANNOT BE JUST GLUED BACK IN SINCE THAT IS HOW IT WAS INSTALLED TO BEGIN WITH FROM THE FACTORY. ALSO HAVE EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT WAS TOLD THAT IT IS NOT COVERED BECAUSE THAT IS CONSIDERED NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. *TR

OWN 2005 CROSSFIRE AND THE GLASS IN THE SOFT TOP IS FALLING OUT. CHRYSLER REFUSING TO BE RESPONSIBLE. ONE ATTEMPT WAS ALREADY MADE TO REGLUE THE AREA COMING UNGLUED, BUT AFTER SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS AND 3 WEEKS LATER .. IT STILL IS FALLING OUT. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY SEVERAL AUTO REPAIR TOP PLACES THAT THE ENTIRE TOP WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED ... ESTIMATED COST $2500!!! I HAVE LEARNED IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURE DEFECT AND CHRYSLER SHOULD STEP UP TO THE PLATE. *TR

VISIBILITY:REAR WINDOW WIPER/WASHER
I OWN A 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLE. THE REAR WINDOW FELL OUT FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED BY CHRYSLER. IF WINDOW CAME OUT DURING A CRASH, THE GLASS WINDOW COULD SERIOUSLY INJURE THE DRIVER OR PASSENGER. A FLYING SHEET OF GLASS. CHRYSLER SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE TO FIX THIS DEFECT. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON LINE ABOUT THIS. THE OTHER THING IS THE COST OF REPAIR. THIS CAN ONLY BE FIXED BY REPLACING THE ENTIRE TOP FOR $2,000. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. THERE SHOULD BE A CLASS ACTION SUIT ON THIS ISSUE. I GUESS CHRYSLER WILL WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO LOSE THEIR LIFE BEFORE TAKING ACTION. BUY AMERICAN, WHAT A JOKE!!! *TR

I OWN A 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE LTD. ROADSTER THAT HAS JUST REACHED 50K MILES. THE REAR WINDSHIELD HAS FALLEN OUT OF THE SOFT TOP AND IS MERELY HOLDING ON BY THE WIRES FOR THE DEFROSTER. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT BUT CHRYSLER DECLINES REPLACING IT AS A DEFECT. I HAVE CONTACTED AUTO UPHOLSTERY BUSINESSES TO REPAIR THE WINDOW AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NO WAY TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM AND THAT A NEW TOP HAS TO BE PURCHASED WHICH WILL COST ME $2000 FOR THE TOP AND THEY MUST HAVE THE CAR FOR 10 DAYS (INCLUDE ANOTHER $400 FOR RENTAL CAR FEES). FORTUNATELY THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED WHEN THE CAR WAS PARKED AND NOT WHILE I WAS DRIVING FOR IT COULD HAVE ENDED UP IN WORSE PROPERTY DAMAGE OR A CAR CRASH. *TR

THE REAR WINDOW IS FALLING OUT OF MY 2005 CROSSFIRE ROADSTER CONVERTIBLE. IT IS A GLUED IN WINDOW AND THE GLUE HAS FAILED. WE WERE TOLD TODAY BY CHRYSLER THAT IT WAS NOT WARRANTIED AND COULD NOT BE REPAIRED. THE ONLY SOLUTION THEY OFFER IS TO BUY A NEW TOP FOR OVER $2100. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. NOT ONLY IS IT UNREASONABLY EXPENSIVE TO REMEDY, IT IS ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE. THE TOP COULD EASILY FLY OUT, INJURING A PASSENGER OR SOMEONE IN ANOTHER VEHICLE. CHRYSLER SHOULD OFFER A REASONABLE SOLUTION TO TAKE CARE OF THIS AS IT IS OBVIOUSLY A DESIGN DEFECT AND THEIR RESPONSIBILITY. *TR
