2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE ROADSTER Structure Problems

THE BACK WINDOW SEPARATED FROM THE TOP. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT CHRYSLER EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR THIS PROBLEM TO 10 YEARS 100000 MILES BUT NOT ON ALL OF THEM. MY CAR IS NOT COVERED. MAKES NO SENSE THAT SOME ARE AND SOME ARE NOT. *TR

THE CONVERTIBLE TOP BACK GLASS CAME UNGLUED AND FELL OUT THIS CAR ONLY HAS 29,000 MILES THE TOP AND THE CAR ARE IN LIKE NEW CONDITION BUT CHRYSLER WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.THIS CAR WAS SOLD NEW IN MICHIGAN SO IT IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. I LIVE IN NORTH CAROLINA WHERE IT WOULD BE WARRANTIED IF IT WAS SOLD NEW HERE.THIS CAR WAS BUILT IN GERMANY AND THE US SELLING POINT SHOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE SUFFERING FROM THIS SAME PROBLEM AND TO HAVE TO SPEND $3000.00 DOLLARS TO REPAIR THIS WHEN CHRYSLER IS ALREADY FIXING OTHERS IS JUST CRIMINAL. *JS

REAR WINDOW GLASS SEPARATED FROM THE FABRIC CONVERTIBLE TOP. NHTSA HAS CHRYSLER TSB ON FILE FOR SAME EXACT DEFECT, ISSUED BY CHRYSLER IN 2011, SPECIFYING 10 YEAR/100,000 MILE WARRANTY EXTENSION. CHRYSLER RESTRICTS THEIR REMEDY TO ONLY VEHICLES FIRST SOLD IN ALABAMA, FLORIDA, GEORGIA, LOUISIANA, MISSOURI, NORTH CAROLINA, SOUTH CAROLINA, TENNESSEE, AND TEXAS, DESPITE THE FACT THAT ALL OF THESE CARS WERE IMPORTED FROM THE SAME SOURCE AT THE SAME TIME. THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE IN THE PRODUCT DEFECT THAT HAS OCCURRED NATIONWIDE. THE NHTSA MUST FORCE CHRYSLER TO HELP ALL AFFECTED OWNERS! WHAT CHRYSLER IS DOING IS JUST SO WRONG! PLEASE HELP US!

REAR WINDOW BECAME COMPLETELY DETACHED (LOOSE) FROM THE MOUNTING SURFACE. HAVING THE CHRYSLER GROUP SERVICE BULLETIN (23035-11 REV A) ON FILE, WHICH SPECIFIES A 10YR/100,000 MI. WARRANTY EXTENSION (2005 MODEL) ALONG WITH AN AMPLE AMOUNT OF EVIDENCE THAT THIS DEFECT HAS OCCURRED IN ALL REGIONS OF THE U.S., TO A VEHICLE THAT WAS IMPORTED FROM ONLY ONE SOURCE IN GERMANY; WHY HAS THE NHTSA FAILED TO REQUIRE THE CHRYSLER GROUP TO COVER ALL OF THE AFFECTED VEHICLES REGARDLESS OF WHICH STATE THEY WERE FIRST SOLD IN???

RECALL LAMINATE ISSUE, CONVERTIBLE TOP FAILURE LEADING TO ELECTRICAL DAMAGE CAUSING TOP TO STAY OPEN. *TR

THE 2005 (ONLY) CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLE HAS A FAULTY SEAL BONDING THE BACKGLASS TO THE TOP CAUSING IT TO BECOME DISLODGED FROM THE TOP TRAVELING OR PARKED. CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE DEFECT CALLING IT A "TRIM" PIECE. A VEHICLE TRAVELING ON THE EXPRESSWAY OR HIGHWAY LOSING ITS' BACKGLASS IS NOT A TRIM BUT A DANGEROUS DEFECT THAT MUST BE RECALLED. MODELS AFTER 2005 HAD THIS DEFECT CORRECTED. *TR

NOTICED THE REAR WINDOW HAS STARTED TO DETACH FROM THE TOP. THIS IS A KNOW FLAW AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. THIS IS A MAJOR HAZARD AS THE CAR CANNOT BE DRIVEN AS IS. *TR

REAR WINDOW ADHESIVE FAILED AND REAR WINDOW GLASS STARTED TO BECOME DETACHED FROM CONVERTIBLE TOP. *TR

THE REAR WINDOW IS DETACHING FROM THE CONVERTIBLE TOP. IT HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE OVER THE PAST YEAR AND THE WINDOW COULD FALL OUT AT ANY TIME WITHOUT A REPAIR. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE 2005 ROADSTER MODELS, CHRYSLER HAS REFUSED TO ISSUE A GENERAL RECALL. AS A RESULT, MY LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER IN SEMINOLE FLORIDA WILL NOT REPLACE NOR REPAIR THE TOP. *TR

CONVERTIBLE TOP REAR WINDOW BECAME UNATTACHED FROM THE CONVERTIBLE TOP. *TR

REAR WINDOW IN CONVERTIBLE TOP UNGLUED ON TOP AND BOTH SIDES AND FELL INTO CAR WHILE PARKED. AIR TEMPERATURE WAS ABOVE 100F. NO PREVIOUS PROBLEMS WITH WINDOW LEAKAGE OR SIGN OF IMPENDING FAILURE. BELIEVE THIS IS PART OF SB 23035-11 REV A BUT LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER UNABLE TO AUTHORIZE REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT. HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND OPENED CASE NUMBER [XXX] AND AM AWAITING RESOLUTION. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).*TR

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

REAR WINDOW IN ROADSTER (CONVERTIBLE) TOP IS BECOMING UNGLUED / DELAMINATED FROM THE FABRIC TOP. IF IT COMES COMPLETELY UNGLUED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IT COULD BE QUITE DANGEROUS. *TR

THE REAR WINDOW GLASS ON THE ROADSTER SEPARATES RAPIDLY FROM THE ROOF LINING AND IF NOT CAUGHT IN TIME WILL COMPLETELY DETACH AND BECOME A PROJECTILE TO THE INTERNAL OCCUPANTS OR TO OTHER ROAD USERS. CHRYSLER HAVE INDICATED ON THEIR X31 RECALL FOR THE PROBLEM THE EXPECTATION THAT CERTAIN VEHICLES ARE WARRANTED FOR 10 YEARS/100,000 MILES DUE TO A MANUFACTURING DEFECT, BUT ONLY FOR VEHICLES SHIPPED TO SOME 8 SOUTHERN STATES. THEIR CONTENTION IS THAT OTHER VEHICLES ARE NOT AFFECTED BUT THIS IS AT ODDS WITH THE EXPERIENCES OF MYSELF AND MANY OTHERS. *TR

CHRYSLER REFERENCE # [XXX] TSB 23 035 11 THE REAR WINDOW IN THE CONTV. TOP HAS BEEN COMING UNGLUED. THERE ARE SEVERAL CASES TO SUPPORT THIS. CHRYSLER HAS NO EXPLANTATION FOR THIS OR THE REASON THAT ALL ROADSTERS ARE NOT BEING FIXED/RECALLED. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).*TR

IN MID 2009 I NOTICED THAT THE REAR WINDOW GLASS IN MY 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE ROADSTER WAS DELAMINATING FROM THE CANVAS APPARENTLY DUE TO A POOR ADHESIVE BOND. I WAS ABLE TO RE-ATTACH IT MYSELF AFTER I WAS REFUSED SERVICE BY MY LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER DUE TO "ADHESIVES AND THE SOFT TOP ARE NOT COVERED". HE CITED "ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS CAN NOT BE CONTROLLED" AND ARE EXCLUDED FROM WARRANTY SERVICE. THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED IN GEORGIA AT A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND IS KEPT GARAGED. IT IS DRIVEN APPROXIMATELY 4500 MILES PER YEAR, AND IS IMMACULATE. THE TOP IS SEPARATING AGAIN AND AFTER CONTACTING CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE, I WAS TOLD THAT MINE IS EXCLUDED FROM A RECENT "PARTIAL" RECALL FOR CARS ONLY MANUFACTURED ON "CERTAIN PRODUCTION LINES" IN MICHIGAN. OR ORIGINALLY DELIVERED TO A FEW "HOT" STATES. MINE WAS APPARENTLY DELIVERED TO MICHIGAN. DOES THIS MEAN I CAN'T DRIVE IT SOUTH PAST...

THIS IS A 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE WE HAVE OWNED AND GARAGE KEPT FOR 3YRS WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS UNTIL TODAY WHEN THE BACK WINDOW ON THE CONVERTIBLE TOP BECAME DELAMINATED. SEARCHING THE INTERNET I FOUND THAT THIS MAY BE A COMMON PROBLEM FOR OTHER OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE.I DONT UNDERSTAND HOW THIS METHOD OF INSTALLATION FROM THE FACTORY COULD BE CONSIDERED QUALITY WORK BECAUSE ITS JUST GLUED ONTO THE DENIM CLOTH. THIS CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT OR TREATED IN A NEGLIGENT MANNER IT IS WELL TAKEN CARE OF AND THERE IS NO REASON FOR THIS TO HAPPEN EXCEPT FOR POOR MANUFACTURING PROCESSES. *TR

2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLE TOP WINDOW FELL OUT. *TR

THE BACK WINDOW ON 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE FELL OUT RENDERING THE OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE USELESS UNTIL REPAIRED. *TR

I OWN A 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE LIMITED EDITION CONVERTIBLE. AUG 23, 2010 I NOTICE THE GLUE SEAL AROUND THE REAR GLASS DRIED UP, WHICH CAUSED THE REAR GLASS TO FALL OUT AND POTENTIAL CAUSE SEVER PROBLEMS FOR THE DRIVER IF NOT CAUGHT IN TIME. THIS IS A KNOWN MANUFACTURES DEFECT, HOWEVER, CHRYSLER WILL NOT OWN UP TO THIS PROBLEM. MY TOP IS LIKE NEW AND IT IS CLEAR TO ME AND OTHERS THIS IS A MFG DEFECT IN THE ADHESIVE. IN MY OPINION, CHRYSLER IS SHIFTING GEARS TO THE CONSUMER AND HOPING THE ISSUE HAPPENS AFTER THE WARRANTY PERIOD. I AM UNDER THE MILEAGE WARRANTY, HOWEVER, I WAS INFORM THE 1ST OWNER OF THE CAR IS WHEN THE WARRANTY BEGINS, THEREFORE, THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY BASED ON THE YEARS AND NOT MILEAGE! THE REPLACEMENT COST IS $3500 FOR A NEW TOP AND GLASS. WE NEED HELP OUT HERE...

I OWN A 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE CONVERTABLE WITH 55,000 MILES ON IT. THIS MORNIGN I WENT TO GET IN THE CAR AND THE BACK WINDOW HAD SEPARATED FROM THE ROOF AND WAS HANGING BY THE DEFROST CONNECTORS. I TOOK IT TO MY CHRYSLER DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY HAD HAD A FEW DO THAT. THE ONLY REMIDY WAS TO REPLACE THE WHOLE TOP! ($2500 !!!) IT SEEMS THE HEAT SEAL ADHESIVE USED TO HOLD THE WINDOW IN PLACE IS INADEQUATE. I CHECKED THE INTERNET AND FOUR MANY REPORTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM. IS CHRYSLER NOT WILLING TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND STAND GOOD FOR THEIR PRODUCT? *TR

OWN 2005 CROSSFIRE AND THE GLASS IN THE SOFT TOP IS FALLING OUT. CHRYSLER REFUSING TO BE RESPONSIBLE. ONE ATTEMPT WAS ALREADY MADE TO REGLUE THE AREA COMING UNGLUED, BUT AFTER SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS AND 3 WEEKS LATER .. IT STILL IS FALLING OUT. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY SEVERAL AUTO REPAIR TOP PLACES THAT THE ENTIRE TOP WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED ... ESTIMATED COST $2500!!! I HAVE LEARNED IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURE DEFECT AND CHRYSLER SHOULD STEP UP TO THE PLATE. *TR

CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE 2005 BACK WINDOW FELL OUT, CAME UNGLUED FOR NO REASON, REQUIRES REPLACEMENT OF WHOLE TOP. MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT SO INSURANCE WON'T PAY AND CHRYSLER CORP REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING TO CORRECT. SAFETY HAZARD, UNABLE TO DRIVE CAR, PUT TOP DOWN, ETC. COST TO REPLACE AT MY DEALERSHIP 1700.00 PARTS PLUS 700.00 LABOR!!!!! HELP - MAKE CHRYSLER PAY TO FIX!!!! *TR

THE GLASS FROM THE TOP OF MY 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE ROADSTER SUNK IN AS THE GLUE FROM MANUFACTURER DID NOT HOLD UP. IT IS UNDER A MAXIMUM COVERAGE WARRANTY FROM CHRYSLER AND THEY STILL DID NOT WANT TO COVER THE REPAIR B/C IT IS MATERIAL. HOWEVER, IT IS THE WAY MANUFACTURER MADE THE CAR(WITH A SOFT TOP) THEREFORE THE WARRANTY SHOULD COVER THE TOP EVEN IF ITS CLOTH B/C IT IS HOW THEY MADE IT. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLE! I SPENT A LOT OF MONEY FOR THIS CAR AND NOW THE BACK WINDOW IS READY TO FALL OUT!!! IT HAS SEPARATED FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE COMPLETELY. IM AFRAID THE WINDOW WILL FLY OUT COMPLETELY AND KILL SOMEONE WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY!!!! *TR

THE REAR WINDOW GLASS IS COMING OUT OF THE CONVERTIBLE TOP ON MY 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE. THERE WAS LESS THAN 40,000 MILES ON THE CAR WHEN IT STARTED. WENT TO THE DEALER TO GET IT LOOKED AT AND WAS TOLD THAT CHRYSLER WOULD NOT COVER IT AND THAT MY EXTENDED WARRANTY DID NOT COVER IT. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM ON THIS MODEL CAR FROM WHAT I HAVE BEEN READING ON THE WEB. WITH ALL I HAVE BEEN READING I WOULD THINK THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE AND FIX THIS ISSUE. *TR

THIS IS A COMPLAINT ON A 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE ROADSTER THAT WAS JUST PURCHASED IN JUNE 2009. I WAS LOOKING IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND NOTICED A SMALL QUARTER INCH GAP BETWEEN MY CONVERTIBLE TOP AND MY REAR WINDOW. WHEN I INSPECTED THE VEHICLE, I ALSO NOTICED ANOTHER GAP THAT WAS ON THE LEFT DRIVER SIDE OF MY REAR WINDOW. THIS GAP IS ABOUT 2 INCHES WIDE AND I CAN LITERALLY STICK MY HAND ON THE INSIDE OF MY CAR. IT SEEMS THAT THE HEAT HERE IN TEXAS HAS MELTED THE GLUE TO THE POINT THAT THE WINDOW IS BECOMING DETACHED FROM THE CONVERTIBLE TOP'S CANVAS MATERIAL. SO, I CONTACTED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE ON MONDAY MORNING AND THEY INSTRUCTED ME TO VISIT A DEALER TO SEE IF THEY COULD FIX THE WINDOW. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT AFTERNOON AND THEY TOLD ME (VERBATIM) "WE DON'T...
