NHTSA Complaint #10473168 — 2006 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE

WHEN I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE IN DECEMBER 2007, I DID NOT HAD ANY MAJOR PROBLEMS. UNTIL... ON OR ABOUT THE FIRST OF JUNE, 2012, I PARKED MY CAR AND NOTICED THAT THE REAR WINDOW HAD COME A PART FROM THE CONVERTIBLE TOP. SINCE I HAD NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT, I BEGAN TO RESEARCH ONLINE TO SEE IF OTHER CONSUMERS HAD EXPERIENCED THIS WINDOW ISSUE. SITE AFTER SITE, COMPLAINT AFTER COMPLAINT WAS READ. WITH SO MANY PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM WITHOUT A SUITABLE RESPONSE OR SOLUTION TO ITS CONSUMER, THIS HAS BECOME A SERIOUS PROBLEM, A DEFECT THAT MUST BE RESOLVED AND THE CARS SHOULD BE RECALLED. THE POTENTIAL TO ENDANGER LIVES FAR OUTWEIGHS ANY OTHER CONSIDERATION. WHEN SOMEONE BUYS A CONVERTIBLE, ONE DOESN'T EXPECT TO BE DRIVING ALONG AND THE GLASS COMES FLYING DOWN AND OUT. IT'S NOT SAFE! THE ONLY REPAIR SOLUTION IS THE ENTIRE TOP MUST BE REPLACED (COSTING UPWARDS OF $2100) DUE TO NO NEGLIGENCE OF THE CONSUMER. IF I HAVE READ THESE COMPLAINTS, I'M CERTAIN THAT CHRYSLER HAS AS WELL. YEARS OF THIS PROBLEM HAS PERSISTED. STILL POOR PRODUCTION OF THIS SAME PRODUCT AND NO RECALL BY CHRYSLER. THE COMPANY HASN'T SKIMPED ON THE SALES PRICES ON THIS VEHICLE. I DON'T EXPECT IT TO TAKE SHORTCUTS WHEN IT COMES TO CONSUMER SAFETY. WHY SHOULD THE CONSUMER SUFFER LOSS OF SAFETY AND WELFARE? I HUMBLY ASK THAT THESE VEHICLES BE RECALLED. *TR
