2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLE Structurebody Problems

THE GLASS WINDOW IN THE CONVERTIBLE ROOF HAS COME LOOSE ALLOWING WATER TO ENTER THE CAR AND DAMAGE ELECTRONICS. IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS IF IT FELL OFF DRIVING IT COULD HAVE KILLED SOMEONE!

THE REAR WINDOW ATTACHED TO CONVERTIBLE TOP FELL OUT

REAR GLASS WINDOW HAS BECOME DETACHED FROM CONVERTIBLE TOP. OTHERWISE THE TOP IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION

THE WAS CAR PARKED AND I PROCEEDED TO DRIVE THE CAR FROM THE PARKING LOT AND THE REAR GLASS FELL OUT OF THE CONVERTIBLE TOP. I RESEARCHED THE ISSUE ONLINE AND FOUND MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAFETY PROBLEM.

MY 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE WAS ON THE CA-10 INTERSTATE AND THE REAR WINDOW DETACHED FROM THE VINYL DURING DRIVE. WAS NOT ABLE TO MOVE IT WHILE DRIVING CAUSING HAZARD TO DRIVERS AROUND MY VEHICLE AND LIMITED VISIBILITY.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, I HEARD A RATTLING NOISE. AS I LOOKED AROUND THE CARS CABIN TO FIND THE SOURCE OF THE NOISE, I SAW THAT MY BACK GLASS PANEL HAS A GAP IN IN IT. I CONTINUED TO DRIVE, THE RATTLING WORSENED AND THE GLASS PANEL WAS BEGINNING TO COME UNDONE. WHEN I GOT TO MY DESTINATION THE GLASS PANEL IS BARELY HOLDING ON.

IN 2011, THE REAR WINDOW IN MY CONVERTIBLE TOP BECAME UNGLUED FROM THE TOP. CHRYSLER PAID MOST OF THE COST TO REPLACE IT, BUT USED ANOTHER DEFECTIVE TOP AS A REPLACEMENT. AS A RESULT, THE WINDOW IS AGAIN FALLING OUT. CHRYSLER NOW REFUSES TO EVEN DISCUSS THE POSSIBILITY OF ANY FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THIS PROBLEM WITH THE DEFECTIVE GLUE IS WELL DOCUMENTED AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AS WINDOWS FLYING OUT OF MOVING VEHICLES COULD BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.

REAR WINDOW COMING FALLING OUT

THE BACK WINDOW BECAME UNGLUED FROM THE TOP.THE CAR CANNOT BE DRIVEN BECAUSE IT CAN FLY OUT AND HURT SOMEONE. I SAW THERE IS A RECALL ON CERTAIN VIN NUMBERS.

THE REAR WINDOW SEPARATED FROM THE CONVERTIBLE TOP WHILE I HAD THE CAR PARKED OUTDOORS. I FOUND THE CAR WITH THE REAR WINDOW AREA OPEN AND THE GLASS LYING ON THE INTERIOR OF THE BACKLIGHT AREA. THE GLASS REMAINED CONNECTED TO THE TOP BY ABOUT 1/3 OF THE ORIGINAL GLUE. THE REMAINDER HAD COME APART FROM THE GLUE LEAVING THE GLASS MOSTLY DETACHED.

2 WEEKS AGO WHEN I WENT TO DRIVE MY CAR I NOTICED THAT THE REAR WINDOW SEPARATED FROM THE ROOF. I PROCEEDED TO DEPARTED OVER THE NEXT DAY. I TRIED TO REATTACH WITH AN ADHESIVE BUT IT IS FALLING. I FOUND ON LINE THAT THE COMPANY HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THIS PROBLEM, I DID CONTACT CHRYSLER BUT THE COMPANY STATED THAT MY VIN DID NOT MATCH THE COVERED VEHICLES. ONLINE I FOUND THAT THIS CONTINUES TO BE AN ISSUE WITH OTHER UNCOVERED CARS

REAR WINDOW OF 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLE FELL OUT OF TOP. GARAGE KEPT VEHICLE WITH 22,000 MILES.

LITERALLY THE DAY AFTER THE RETURN PERIOD ON OUR 2005 CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLE WAS UP, WE FOUND OUT THAT THIS CAR HAS A MAJOR DEFECT WHERE THE BACK WINDOW FALLS OUT DUE TO FAILURE OF THE ADHESIVE. THIS ISSUE IS WIDESPREAD AND IS A REAL SAFETY HAZARD. APPARENTLY THE ENTIRE TOP TYPICALLY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED IF THIS HAPPENS, NOT JUST A RE-GLUE JOB. THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 17,000 MILES AND I'VE DRIVEN IT PROBABLY LESS THAN 50 MILES SINCE BUYING, YET NOW I AM FACED WITH A BIG REPAIR BILL TO MAKE THE CAR SAFE. CHRYSLER SHOULD COVER THIS TOP IN *ANY* CASE WHERE IT OCCURS (NOT JUST IN THE FEW SOUTHERN STATES THEY HAVE DEEMED APPLICABLE FOR COVERAGE). I AM IN VA, AND THAT'S WHERE THE CAR WAS ORIGINALLY DELIVERED. ANYBODY WHO SAYS VA DOESN'T HAVE HIGH HEAT AND HUMIDITY IS CRAZY. WE ARE JUST 75 MILES FROM...

MY 2005 CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLE WINDOW FELL OUT. I KEEP MY CAR IN THE GARAGE. *TR

REAR WINDOW ADHESIVE FAILURE IN CONVERTIBLE TOP. CHRYSLER HAS ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLITIN # X31 WHICH COVERS COST OF REPAIRS BUT ONLY FOR CARS THAT WERE DELIVERED TO CERTAIN SOUTHERN STATES BUT, ALL 05 CROSSFIRES WERE BUILT IN THE SAME PLANT IN BELGIUM AND SHOULD BE COVERED. FAILURE OF ANY WINDOW IS NOT CONSIDERED NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. COVERING ONLY SOME VEHICLES IS UNFAIR BUSINESS PRACTICE. *JS

AS I WAS DRIVING ACROSS A BRIDGE ON THE INTER COASTAL WATERWAY IN MELBOURNE FLORIDA, THE TOP PIECE OF THE METAL WINDSHIELD MOLDING WAS BLOWN LOOSE FROM THE VEHICLE AND SLAMMED AGAINST THE TOP. IF THE TOP HAD BEEN DOWN, PASSENGERS COULD HAVE POSSIBLE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED. DAMAGE TO OTHER VEHICLES COULD HAVE OCCURRED AND/OR INJURY TO PEDESTRIANS WAS POSSIBLE. I WAS NOT ABLE TO LOCATE THE METAL MOLDING. *TR

REAR WINDOW CAME LOOSE FROM CONVERTIBLE TOP. CHRYSLER IS ONLY REPAIRING CARS THAT WERE DELIVERED TO SOUTHERN STATES WHEN NEW. MY MOM BOUGHT THIS CAR IN PA AND DROVE IT TO FLA WHEN SHE RETIRED...CAR HAS BEEN THERE SINCE 2008 OR 2009. DOESN'T SEEM FAIR TO ME...ONLY 27,893 MILES! [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE REAR WINDOW OF MY 2005 CROSSFIRE LIMITED CONVERTIBLE HAS ALMOST COMPLETELY BECOME DETACHED IN THE OKLAHOMA SUMMER HEAT AT 52,000 MILES. AFTER NOTICING THE TSB AND THE FACT THAT CHRYSLER DID IN FACT STATE THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE GLUE ON CERTAIN MODELS, I CALLED CHRYSLER TO INQUIRE ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO SINCE A) THE VEHICLE EXCEEDED THE 36,000 MILE WARRANTY AND B) I WAS NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER. I PURCHASED THE VERY WELL MAINTAINED VEHICLE IN JUNE, 2013 WITH ONLY 49,000 MILES. CHRYSLER HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THE FACT THAT IT IS A FACTORY DEFECT WITH THESE MODELS....IT ONLY SEEMS REASONABLE THAT THEY CHRYSLER AT LEAST REPLACE THE "DEFECTIVE PART."

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT CONVERTIBLE REAR WINDOW SEAL FAILED AND CAUSED THE WINDOW TO SEPARATE WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 60 MPH. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 99,000.

THE REAR GLASS WINDOW OF THE CONVERTIBLE TOP BECAME LOOSE, SEPARATING FROM THE FABRIC TOP OVER A 19-INCH LINEAR LENGTH, POSING A SERIOUS HAZARD WHILE DRIVING WITH THE TOP UP; WITH THE POTENTIAL THAT IT MAY COME COMPLETELY OFF WHILE TRAVELING AT NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEEDS. *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. *TR

THE REAR WINDOW IS SEPARATING FOR THE CONVERTIBLE TOP..READING ON LINE IT SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR VEHICLE. I CALLED CHRYSLER LIKE MANY OTHER PEOPLE AND THEY ARE NOT WILL TO DO ANYTHING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM..AGAIN MANY, MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVE THE EXACT ISSUE WITH THE CAR AND CHRYSLER IS NO HELP. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT 15MPH, I HEARD A RATTLE AND NOTICED THAT THE REAR WINDOW HAD DETACHED ON THREE SIDES. THIS IS A KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE TO CHRYSLER AND HAS BEEN ADDRESSED BY A TSB. HOWEVER, THIS TSB IS LIMITED TO ONLY CERTAIN STATES. WHEN I PURCHASED MY, I WAS NOT INFORMED OF ITS ORIGIN. MY CAR WAS ORIGINALLY SOLD IN A STATE NOT COVERED BY THE EXTENDED WARRANTY INCLUDED IN THE TSB DATED 9/8/11. HOWEVER, I BOUGHT AND HAVE DRIVEN THE CAR IN A STATE WHICH IS INCLUDED IN THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. I HAVE OWNED THE CAR FOR SIX YEARS AND IT WAS ONE YEAR OLD WHEN PURCHASED. ALL OF THE CROSSFIRES MADE IN THIS YEAR WERE MADE IN GERMANY. CHRYSLER HAS DECLINED TO HONOR THE X31 EXTENDED WARRANTY INCLUDED IN THE 2011 TSB IN MY CASE. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW CHRYSLER CAN REFUSE TO CORRECT A KNOWN SAFETY...

THE BACK WINDOW OF THE CONVERTIBLE IS COMING UNGLUED. *TR

WHILE PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY, THE REAR GLASS SEPARATED FROM THE CONVERTIBLE TOP ON THE LEFT, RIGHT AND BOTTOM. THE GLUE USED TO BIND THE TWO TOGETHER SEEMS TO HAVE FAILED. AFTER RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM THE INTERNET, IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM TO THIS MODEL/YEAR CAR. *TR
