Consumer Description

ADHESIVE HOLDING REAR WINDOW IN PLACE BEGAN TO SEPARATE FROM CONVERTIBLE TOP. OTHER CROSSFIRE OWNERS HAVE REPORTED TOTAL FAILURE. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE IF/WHEN THE REAR WINDOW COMPLETELY SEPARATES AND DETACHES FROM THE VEHICLE AND POSES A HAZARD TO OTHERS I.E., PEDESTRIAN, MOTORCYCLE RIDERS, ETC. ALL THE TOPS WERE PRODUCED BY THE SAME MANUFACTURER (KARMANN) ALTHOUGH CHRYSLER IS ONLY WILLING TO REPLACE CERTAIN 2005 MODELS BASED ON THE STATE THEY WERE ORIGINALLY SOLD. THIS MAKES NO SENSE, CHRYSLER AND THE NHTSA SHOULD RECALL ALL TOPS PRODUCED AND REPLACE THEM WITH A TOP WITH THE REAR WINDOW ATTACHED WITH SOME TYPE OF IMPROVED ADHESIVE SO THE RISK TO OTHERS IS ELIMINATED. *TR
