Consumer Description

AS I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK, THE REAR CONVERTIBLE WINDOW DISLODGED FROM THE CANVAS BY 80%.I SLOWLY DROVE THE VEHICLE TO TWO LOCAL AUTHORIZED CHRYSLER DEALERSHIPS FOR INSPECTIONS. BOTH DEALERSHIPS STATED THAT THE 1/2' OF ADHESIVE THAT GLUED THE WINDOW TO THE CANVAS HAD DETERIORATED AND CAUSED THE WINDOW TO COME LOOSE. THE SECOND AUTHORIZED DEALER TOOK PHOTOS AS WELL AS I DID DOCUMENTING THE DAMAGE. THIS CAR IS RATED BY DAIMLER-BENZ OF SPEEDS UP TO 154 MPH. IF THE WINDOW WOULD HAVE COMPLETELY DISLODGED IT WOULD HAVE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED ANYONE TRAVELING BEHIND ME. I WAS APPALLED BY THE CHEAP QUALITY CONSTRUCTION AND WORKMANSHIP OF THE INSTALL OF THIS WINDOW. I HAVE PHOTOS DOCUMENTING THE QUALITY (OR LACK OF) THE DESIGN. I HAVE READ SOME ARTICLES ON THE INTERNET WHERE OWNERS CLAIM THAT THEY (CHRYSLER-DAIMLER-BENZ) HAVE REPLACED ROOFS BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT. I BELIEVE IN THE INTEREST OF SAFETY, THAT THESE VEHICLES SHOULD BE MANDATORY RECALLED AND FORCED TO REPAIR THESE SERIOUS DEFECTS. *TR
