THE GLASS FROM THE TOP OF MY 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE ROADSTER SUNK IN AS THE GLUE FROM MANUFACTURER DID NOT HOLD UP. IT IS UNDER A MAXIMUM COVERAGE WARRANTY FROM CHRYSLER AND THEY STILL DID NOT WANT TO COVER THE REPAIR B/C IT IS MATERIAL. HOWEVER, IT IS THE WAY MANUFACTURER MADE THE CAR(WITH A SOFT TOP) THEREFORE THE WARRANTY SHOULD COVER THE TOP EVEN IF ITS CLOTH B/C IT IS HOW THEY MADE IT. *TR

THE BACK WINDOW IN MY 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLE FELL OUT. IT WAS GLUED IN AT THE FACTORY, NOT STITCHED OR BOLTED. REPAIR SHOPS WILL NOT WARRANTY THE WORK, STATING THAT IT WILL FALL OUT AGAIN WITHIN 6 MONTHS BECAUSE THE GLUE THEY CAN USE TO REPAIR THE WINDOW IS NOT AS STRONG AS WHAT IS USED IKN THE FACTORY. CHRYSLER SAYS THE ONLY WAY TO FIX THE PROBLEM IS TO INSTALL A NEW ROOF. THEY STATE THE PROBLEM IS RAMPED AND STEMS FROM A DESIGN FLAW. CHRYSLER HAS CORRECTED THE DESIGN FLAW AND DOES NOT WARRANTY THE 2005 VEHICLE. NO WARRANTY, NO DISCOUNT ON PARTS, NO SPLIT OF FEES, JUST...BUY A NEW ROOF. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY:ROOF AND PILLARS
I HAVE A 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE. MY CAR WAS PARKED IN MY GARAGE AND WHEN I WENT OUT INTO THE GARAGE IN THE AFTERNOON ON APRIL 2, 2010 I NOTICED THE REAR WINDOW IN MY CONVERTIBLE TOP WAS PARTIALLY DISLODGED FROM THE ROOF FABRIC. I CALLED THE CHRYSLER DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED IT IMMEDIATELY AND WAS TOLD BY THEIR SERVICE DEPT. THAT IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AND THAT IT WOULD COST $2,200 PLUS TAX TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE ROOF. THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT THE ADHESIVE HOLDING THE WINDOW TO THE CONVERTIBLE TOP IS DEFECTIVE RESULTING IN IT COMING UNGLUED. I PURCHASED THE 7-70000 MAXIMUM CARE EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR $2,226 AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE. MY CHRYSLER DEALER HAS TOLD ME THAT THIS PROBLEM IS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. THERE IS NO WHERE IN THE WARRANTY THAT SAYS THIS IS NOT COVERED. I HAVE WRITTEN TO CHRYSLER CORP. AT 27777 INKSTER ROAD FARMINGTON HILLS, MI 48334, THE DIRECTOR OF DAMLIER CHRYSLER SERVICE WARRANTIES, P. O. BOX 2700, TROY, MICHIGAN 48007-2700 AND FLORIDA DEPT. OF INSURANCE SERVICE WARRANTIES, 200 E. GAINES ST., TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 32399 AND HAVE NOT HEARD A WORD FROM ANYONE. I HAVE 19,000 MILES ON MY VEHICLE AND IT IS CONTINUOUSLY GARAGED. FOR THE PAST 3 WEEKS I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. SINCE CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM SO MUCH TO SAY THAT IT IS "A COMMON PROBLEM" WHY ARE THEY NOT MAKING GOOD FOR IT? AND SINCE I CAN NOT FIND A MENTION OF THIS PROBLEM IN THE EXTENDED WARRANTY, WHY ISN'T IT COVERED. I WOULD BE GLAD TO SEND YOU A COPY OF THE WARRANTY, JUST REQUEST AND I WILL SEND. *TR

TIRES, TIRES:TREAD/BELT
I AM FINDING IT HARD TO SHED LIGHT ON SAFETY ISSUES INVOLVING POORLY MANUFACTURED TIRES. I HAVE BEEN CORRESPONDING WITH CONTINENTAL TIRE NORTH AMERICA REGARDING THEIR GENERAL BRANDED TIRES THAT I PURCHASED ON MARCH 19, 2009. I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THESE TIRES SINCE THEN AND HAVE TRIED IN VAIN TO HAVE THE TIRE INSTALLERS REPLACE THEM. I THEN ESCALATED IT IN FEBRUARY WITH CONTINENTAL AND THEY HAVE BEEN LACKADAISICAL WITH THEIR APPROACH TO THIS ISSUE. THE TIRES ARE OF POOR BUILT QUALITY, UNRELIABLE, EXTREMELY NOISY AND THE RIDE QUALITY IS TERRIBLE. I EMAILED THEM SEVERAL TIMES POINTING TO THE FACT THE THESE TIRES SOUND AND FEEL UNSAFE, IT SWAYS MY VEHICLE ALL OVER THE HIGHWAY AND AFTER INSPECTION BY A REPUTABLE TIRE DEALER AT CONTINENTAL'S REQUEST IT SHOWED THAT THE TIRES ARE POOR TIRES AND MY VEHICLE HAS NO MECHANICAL FAULT THAT WOULD CONTRIBUTE TO THE POOR RIDE QUALITY. CONTINENTAL'S ONLY RESPONSE IS TO PROVIDE ONLY 50 % OF THE FRONT TIRES ALONE AND NOTHING FOR THE REARS. IN OTHER WORDS THEY DON'T CARE IF I ALREADY SPENT 700 BUCKS ON THEIR CRAPPY TIRES THEY WANT ME TO PAY MORE TO REPLACE THEM. I AM JUST AN AVERAGE CONSUMER TRYING TO HOLD BIG COMPANIES ACCOUNTABLE AND THEY REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE A LEGITIMATE COMPLAINT. I HAVE PROVIDED FOR CONTINENTAL THE COUNTLESS NEGATIVE REVIEWS OF THEIR TIRES THAT POINT TO THE SAME ISSUE OF INSTABILITY ON THE ROADWAY, POOR BUILD QUALITY AND LOUD ROAD NOISE. I HAVE HAD TO RIDE MY MOTORCYCLE ON MOST OCCASIONS BECAUSE I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR WITH THOSE TIRES. *TR

BACK WINDOW FELL OUT WHILE DRIVING DOWN ROAD, IN MY CONVERTIBLE CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE 2005. CALLED CHRYSLER AND WAS NO HELP TO ME. SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE TOP. SO I REPAIRED MYSELF AND NOW THE TOP LEAKS AND DID DAMAGE TO THE WIRING HARNESS. MY AUTO INSURANCE PAID FOR THE WATER DAMAGE BUT WILL NOT FIX THE TOP.

I OWN A 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE CONV. THE BACK WINDOW BECAME UNGLUED AND IS FALLING OUT,I CANT DRIVE THE CAR AND IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO PUT THE TOP DOWN. THE ONLY FIX I'M AWARE OF IS TO ORDER A NEW TOP FROM CHRYSLER AT THE TUNE OF 2500 DOLLARS. IT'S A MAJOR PROBLEM AND THEY SHOULD RECALL THIS AND REPAIR AT NO CHARGE. THIS CAR WAS EXPENSIVE AND OBVIOUSLY I WILL NO LONGER BUY A CHRYSLER PRODUCT BECAUSE THEY WILL NOT FIX THEIR PROBLEM. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
LATE MODEL CARS OF ALL MAKES HAVE THESE CLEAR PLASTIC HEAD LAMPS THAT TURN DISCOLORED AND YELLOW AND DO NOT ILLUMINATE PROPERLY AFTER A FEW YEARS AND ARE VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE. THE AUTO MANUFACTURERS SHOULD BE ABLE TO MAKE A HEADLIGHT THAT LASTS FOR A VERY LONG TIME, NOT 4, 5 OR 6 YEARS. HOW COME TAIL LAMPS AND DIRECTIONAL LIGHT DO NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM? *TR

THE REAR WINDOW GLASS IS COMING OUT OF THE CONVERTIBLE TOP ON MY 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE. THERE WAS LESS THAN 40,000 MILES ON THE CAR WHEN IT STARTED. WENT TO THE DEALER TO GET IT LOOKED AT AND WAS TOLD THAT CHRYSLER WOULD NOT COVER IT AND THAT MY EXTENDED WARRANTY DID NOT COVER IT. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM ON THIS MODEL CAR FROM WHAT I HAVE BEEN READING ON THE WEB. WITH ALL I HAVE BEEN READING I WOULD THINK THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE AND FIX THIS ISSUE. *TR

THE REAR WINDOW OF MY 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE HAS COME UNGLUED. THE CAR HAS BEEN GARAGE KEPT AND HAS ABOUT 10,000 MILES. I PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY HOWEVER, I AM TOLD THAT IT IS NOT COVERED. THIS IS A MANUFACTURER FAULT. I AM TOLD THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND THE ONLY REPAIR ADVISE GIVEN WAS TO HAVE THE TOP SENT BACK TO CHRYSLER AT MY EXPENSE TO HAVE THE REGLUE. I WAS QUOTED IN THE THOUSANDS TO HAVE THIS DONE. WHAT MAKES THEM THINK DOING THE SAME PROCESS AGAIN WILL NOW WORK? *TR

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
I WAS INVOLVED IN AN AT-FAULT WRECK ON JULY 10, 2009. MY FOOT SLIPPED OFF THE BRAKE PEDAL WHEN SLOWING DOWN FOR A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND I WAS UNABLE TO STOP MY SLOWING CAR. I CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF A UPS TRUCK. MY CHEST SLAMMED INTO THE STEERING WHEEL BECAUSE THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE PASSENGER'S AIRBAG DID. THE POLICE AND FIREMAN WERE EXTREMELY SHOCKED AND IT IS WRITTEN UP THE POLICE ACCIDENT REPORT. I NEED HELP IN CONTACTING CHRYSLER CONCERNING THIS INCIDENT. MY CAR WAS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD AND HAD ONLY 46,000 MILES ON IT. I AM NOW DISABLED AND CAN NO LONGER WORK TO SUPPORT MYSELF. THE HOSPITAL SENT ME HOME FROM THE EMERGENCY ROOM AND PAIN CONTINUED TO WORSEN IN MY NECK AND LOWER BACK UNTIL I WAS FORCED TO STOP WORKING AFTER 33 YEARS IN THE SAFETY FIELD. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH SEVERAL ATTORNEYS AND THEY HAVE INFORMED ME THEY WILL NOT TAKE THE CASE BECAUSE CHRYSLER IS IN BANKRUPTCY. BIG DEAL! THEY ARE STILL SELLING CARS!!!!! THE GOVERNMENT BAILED THEM OUT TO THE TUNE OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, THEIR EXECUTIVES STILL RECEIVED MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN BONUSES, ETC. AND I, AN OWNER OF ONE OF THEIR VEHICLES, WHICH I LONGED FOR SINCE IT WAS RELEASE AND AM NOW DISABLE DUE TO A MALFUNCTION OF THE AIRBAG, WHICH IS DOCUMENTED BY POLICE. THIS WILL NOT BE MY FINAL EFFORT TO RECEIVE DAMAGES FROM CHRYSLER. MY NEXT STEP IS TO CONTACT MY STATE REPRESENTATIVES AND SENATOR, AND TO THEN WRITE LETTERS TO EVERY NEWSPAPER WHO WILL PRINT MY LETTER. THIS IS A CRYING SHAME. I HAVE BEEN IN EXECUTIVE SAFETY MY ENTIRE CAREER AND THIS TAKES THE CAKE!!!!!!!! I DESERVE MORE THAT AN EXCUSE. I DESERVE AN EAR WITH CHRYSLER! IF I DO NOT HEAR SOON, I WILL TAKE MY NEXT STEP. I WILL CONTINUE UNTIL I RECEIVE COMPENSATION FOR MY LOSS. LOSS IN THE ABILITY TO SUPPORT MYSELF. *TR
