2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLE Structure Problems

AS MANY 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLE TOPS , THE REAR WINDOW GLASS IS SEPARATING FROM THE CONVERTIBLE FABRIC. THE ADHESIVE HAS TO BE DEFECTIVE ON ALL TOPS...NOW PEOPLE ARE SAYING THAT 2008 ARE SEPARATING ALSO....THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE SOME WINDOWS HAVE DETACHED DRIVING. CHRYSLER DID RECALL TOPS FOR SOME CARS,BUT ONLY IN A FEW STATES IT IS HAPPENING MORE THEN THEY HAVE MADE IT OUT TO BE. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS AS THAT WAS NOT A FAIR ASSESSMENT TO ONLY A FEW CARS WHEN ALL 2005 HAVE THIS PROBLEM... !..UPDATED 08/13/15 *BF

REAR WINDOW CAME OUT OF THE CONVERTIBLE TOP AFTER PURCHASING 1 MONTH EARLIER. SOUNDS LIKE THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM BUT THERE IS NOT A REGISTERED RECALL FOR IT. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT SHOULD BE FIXED. *TR

2005 CHRYSLER CONVERTIBLE TOP RECALL. THE CAR WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. THE REAR GLASS WINDOW HAD SEPARATED FROM THE CONVERTIBLE TOP. I COULD NOT BELIEVE IT. I BOUGHT THIS CAR JUST TWO SHORT YEARS AGO WITH ONLY 12,000 MILES ON IT. A NEIGHBOR OF MINE HAS THE SAME VEHICLE AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF THESE I HAVE SINCE FOUND OUT. CHRYSLER HAD A RECALL ON THIS TOP AND THEY REPLACED HIS TOP FOR FREE AND GAVE HIM A LIFETIME WARRANTY ON IT. WHEN I CALLED THE CHRYSLER RECALL DEPARTMENT THEY SAID MY VIN# DID NOT QUALIFY FOR REPLACEMENT BECAUSE MY CAR WAS SHIPPED TO VIRGINIA AND NOT A SOUTHERN STATE. THAT IS PURE JUNK. A DEFECT IS A DEFECT NO MATTER WHERE THE CAR WAS ORIGINALLY SHIPPED TO. IF I HAD A BIRTH DEFECT WOULD IT MATTER WHAT STATE I WAS BORN IN WHERE THE...

PULLED CAR OUT OF GARAGE TO TAKE ON DRIVE THE REAR WINDOW OF SOFT TOP FELL OUT. *TR

ADHESIVE ON REAR GLASS WINDOW COMING LOOSE, HAS BEEN FOR MONTHS NOW. WINDOW IS NOW BARELY HELD IN BY TOP STRIP OF GLUE & COULD FALL OUT AT ANY MOMENT. ISSUE IS COVERED UNDER A SERVICE BULLETIN FROM CHRYSLER BUT THEY ARE DENYING MY CLAIM BECAUSE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED IN A DIFFERENT STATE. IF THE WINDOW FALLS OUT IT COULD HURT A PASSENGER OR EVEN FLY OUT FROM THE CAR AND HARM SOMEONE ELSE ON THE ROAD. THIS ISSUE HAPPENS TO ALL 2005 CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLES DUE TO A DEFECT IN MANUFACTURING. *TR

ON AUGUST 22, 2013, I DISCOVERED THE BACK WINDOW OF MY CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLE WAS DETACHED FROM THE CONVERTIBLE TOP. I THOUGHT MY VEHICLE WAS VANDALIZED. I CONTACTED MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND THE POLICE. THE POLICE INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND CONCLUDED THAT IT APPEARS SOMEONE TRIED TO PUSH THE GLASS OUT. UPON INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE FROM MY INSURANCE COMPANY ON 9-3-13 AND REVIEWING THE WEBSITE ON 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE COMPLAINTS, THE ADJUSTER CONCLUDED THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURED DEFECT AND DENIED MY CLAIM. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND WAS INFORMED THAT IT WAS NORMAL WEAR AN TEAR AND NOT COVERED FOR REPAIRS BY CHRYSLER. THE VEHICLE WAS ONLY DRIVEN FOR 28,277 MILES. I HAVE A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN THAT THERE ARE OVER 25 SERIOUS COMPLAINTS IN REGARDS TO THE BACK WINDOWS OF THE 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE AND NOT ONE RECALL FROM CHRYSLER OR THE HIGHWAY PATROL. I AM ASKING CHRYSLER TO...

REAR WINDOW HAS BECOME UNGLUED FROM TOP. CAR HAS NO DAMAGE TO OTHER PARTS OF TOP AND HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND CHRYSLER REFUSES TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR ALL REGIONS OF THE UNITED STATES. CAR ONLY HAS 37,400 MILES. *TR

REAR GLASS HAS SEPARATED FROM CONVERTIBLE TOP AT THE BOTTOM FOR 10 TO 12 INCHES. FEAR THAT THE REST WILL PULL FREE IF I CONTINUE TO DRIVE. CALLED REPAIR PLACES AND WAS TOLD IT COULD NOT BE REPAIRED DUE TO THE WAY IT WAS MANUFACTURED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. CAR IS GARAGE KEPT AND DRIVEN 3500 MILES A YEAR, TOP LOOKS LIKE NEW OTHERWISE. HAVE INFORMED MY LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP WHERE I HAVE INSPECTION AND OIL CHANGES PERFORMED AND WAS TOLD THAT SOMEONE WOULD CONTACT ME. NOTHING AS OF YET. *TR

THE REAR WINDOW SEPARATED FROM THE CONVERTIBLE TOP. THIS HAPPENED 2 MONTHS AFTER I CAME OUT OF A 7YR WARRANTY THAT I PAID A LOT FOR. I CALLED CHRYSLER. THEY SAID THEY ARE ONLY FIXING TOPS THAT WERE ORIGINALLY SENT TO SOUTHERN STATES. SO NO LUCK FOR ME--IT DOES GET HOT IN PHILA. THE DEALER WON'T DO ANYTHING. THE CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE FORUM IS FULL OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS DEFECT. THIS IS VERY DISCOURAGING THAT AN AMERICAN CAR MAKER WON'T STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. *TR

REAR WINDOW SEPARATING FOR CONVERTIBLE TOP/ FELL OUT WHILE DRIVING. *TR

REAR WINDOW SEPARATED FROM SOFT TOP. *TR

2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLE TOP HAS DEFECTIVE REAR WINDOW ADHESION CAUSING THE WINDOW TO BECOME SEPARATED FROM THE TOP. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT CHRYSLER TELLS ME DOES NOT PERTAIN TO MY VIN NUMBER BUT DOES PERTAIN TO OTHER 2005 OWNERS. I CANNOT GET A REASON WHY AS THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM OR SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW TO PROCEED. THANK YOU *TR

REAR GLASS WINDOW IS PEELING AWAY FROM CONVERTIBLE TOP. *TR

REAR WINDOW SEPARATED FROM TOP. LEAKS WATER IN RAIN AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE AT ANY SPEED. DEALER HAD ME CALL CHRYSLER FOR DETAILS ON WARRANTY CODE X31. TSB SB-23035-11REV A CHRYSLER INDICATED EVEN THOUGH THIS VEHICLE'S PROBLEM IS CONSISTANT WITH ALL OTHER COMPLAINTS BEING ADDRESSED BY WARRANTY X31 AND THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY BEING UTILIZED IN THE STATE OF TENNESEE WHERE THE "RECALL" IS ACTIVE THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT ORIGINALLY PURCHASED IN ONE OF THE COVERED STATES AND THEREFOE IS NOT COVERED. THIS POLICY IS NOT FAIR AND CONSISITANT. ALL 2005 CROSSFIRES WERE BUILT IN GERMANY, THEREFORE ORIGINATION POINT OR US STATE OF INITIAL SALE SHOULD NOT BE THE INDICATING FACTOR. IF THE FAILURE OCCURS DURING THE X31 WARRANTY EXTENSION PERIOD THEN THE REPAIR SHOULD BE COVERED. THIS IS A $3000.00 PROBLEM. *TR

THE REAR WINDOW HAS BECOME UNGLUED FROM THE CONVERTIBLE TOP. THE TOP IS BRAND NEW HAS NO LEAKAGE. ALL SHOPS ARE TELLING ME THAT I WILL HAVE TO SPEND $2500 ON A NEW TOP. I GOOGLED THIS ISSUE AND NUMEROUS OTHER DRIVERS OF THE EXACT SAME MAKE AND MODEL ARE HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. WHY HASN'T THIS CAR BEEN RECALLED? THIS IS SUCH AN INCONVENIENCE AND COMPLETELY UNFAIR CONSIDERING MY TOP IS STILL IN GOOD CONDITION. *TR

REAR WINDOW IN CONVERTIBLE TOP IS SEPARATING FROM THE FABRIC. CALLED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE AND THEY HAVE BEEN OF NO HELP AT ALL. THEY ARE REFUSING TO FIX IT AND TELL ME IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER MY EXTENDED SERVICE CONTRACT. THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN ON THIS YEAR CAR FOR THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM. I FEEL STRONGLY THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, IF WINDOW FALLS OUT WHILE I'M DRIVING IT COULD CAUSE ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT OR WINDOW COULD HIT SOMEONE BEHIND ME. WILL CROSS MY FINGERS THAT THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN! *TR

ONE NIGHT PARKED MY CAR IN PERFECT CONDITION, NEXT MORNING 5/22/2012, CAME OUT AND THE BACK WINDOW IS BECOMING UNGLUED! I IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED TWO DEALERSHIPS AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD HAVE TO SEND IT OUT FOR A NEW SOFT TOP AND GLASS WINDOW WHICH WOULD BE ABOUT $3,000. ARE YOU KIDDING ME! THEN I LOOKED ON LINE AND THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS OF THE REAR WINDOW IN THE 2005 CROSSFIRE. CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY WILL NOT ASSIST YOU. YOU REACH A CUSTOMER SERVICE PERSON THAT TAKES THE INFO AND WE WILL GET BACK TO YOU AFTER INVESTIGATION. EACH TIME THEY CALL TO SAY THEY ARE STILL CHECKING INTO THE SITUATION, FRUSTRATES YOU MORE AND MORE. I ENDED UP ORDERING THE WINDOW AND TOP FROM A PLACE THE DEALERSHIP GAVE ME AND AM WAITING FOR IT TO COME IN. IN THE MEANTIME, I DRIVE THE CAR WITH A TOWEL PLACED BETWEEN...

PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN APRIL OF THIS YEAR, FROM A CHRYSLER DEALER. IT CAME WITH A PLASTIC WINDOW, WHICH I FOUND OUT, IS NOT FACTORY/STANDARD. THE DEALER REFUSED TO TAKE CARE OF IT. FOUND OUT ABOUT THE X31 AND SB-23035-11REVA BULLETIN, CONTACTED CHRYSLER ABOUT IT, GOT TURNED DOWN BECAUSE WE ARE THE 4TH OWNERS OF THE CAR, AND IT WAS 3,000 OVER THE 100K MILE LIMIT. I WROTE SERGIO MARCHIONNE, THE CEO OF CHRYSLER, GOT A REVIEW, BUT WAS TURNED DOWN AGAIN. TOLD THAT IT "WOULD NOT MAKE GOOD BUSINESS SENSE" TO FIX MY CAR! WHAT!!? THE PROBLEM IS WIDESPREAD, AND SINCE CHRYSLER HAS OWNED UP, THEY SHOULD CONTINUE TO BE A GOOD MANUFACTURER, AND TAKE CARE OF THEIR CUSTOMERS, ORIGINAL OR NOT. THE CONDITION IS DANGEROUS. *TR

THE REAR WINDOW GLASS ON THE ROADSTER HAS SEPARATED FROM THE ROOF LINING. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IT CAN NOT BE REPAIRED ONLY REPLACED. THIS PRESENTS A SAFETY HAZARD WHEN THE ADHESIVE FAILS COMPLETELY AND THE GLASS FALLS OUT ON A ROADWAY OR TURNS INTO A PROJECTILE INSIDE THE CAR WHILE DRIVING. VERY COSTLY TO THE CONSUMER TO REPAIR SHOULD BE RECALLED AS IT LOOKS LIKE THERE ARE MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS CAR ONLY HAS 40,000 MILES ON IT. *TR
