NHTSA Complaint #10659915 — 2007 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE ROADSTER

I'M "COPYING/PASTING" SOMEONE ELSE'S WORDS AS THEY HAVE DESCRIBED EXACTLY WHAT I'M EXPERIENCING! I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE IN SEPTEMBER, 2013 AND HAVE JUST NOW EXPERIENCED THE FOLLOWING PROBLEM. I'VE ALSO DONE AN ONLINE SEARCH & CAME ACROSS THIS SITE W/OTHER COMPLAINTS FILED! I WILL KEEP LOOKING FOR OTHER SITES TO FILE THE SAME COMPLAINT UNTIL SOMETHING IS DONE! "I OWN A 2007 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE ROADSTER (CONVERTIBLE). THE GLASS IN THE REAR WINDOW IS SEPARATING FROM THE CANVAS TOP. THE TOP HAS NO SIGNS OF DAMAGE IN ANY OTHER AREA. THE DEALER IS TELLING ME THAT IT NOW NEEDS A NEW TOP AT A COST IN EXCESS OF $2,000. AFTER DOING RESEARCH, I DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND APPEARS TO BE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT IN THE ADHESIVE USED TO CONNECT THE TWO PIECES. THERE WERE APPARENTLY MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE 2005 VERSION OF THIS CAR, SO CHRYSLER HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 100,000 MILES...AND COVERED THE REPLACEMENT OF THE TOPS ON THOSE CARS. FOR SOME REASON THEY ARE REFUSING TO DO SO ON THE 2007 MODEL. I CAN SEE ONLINE THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR BUT PERHAPS ENOUGH COMPLAINTS HAVE NOT BEEN FILED. PLEASE DOCUMENT MY CLAIM IN THE HOPES THAT CHRYSLER WILL STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT AND REPAIR THIS DEFECTIVE ROOF. THE CAR IS IN OTHERWISE PERFECT SHAPE AND IS DILIGENTLY TAKEN CARE OF....IS GARAGED KEPT." *TR
