2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE ROADSTER Visibilityglass Siderear Problems

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE AND NOT LONG AFTER, THE REAR WINDOW OF THE CONVERTIBLE TOP CAME LOOSE. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER ABOUT THE ISSUE. I'VE BEEN VERBALLY TOLD THAT THERE WAS A REPLACEMENT NOTE THAT AFFECTED CHRYSLER CROSSFIRES FOR 9 STATES. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE ORIGINALLY SOLD IN ONE OF THESE 9 STATES. I CAN'T REMEMBER THE 9 SPECIFICALLY BUT...MY VEHICLE WAS ORIGINALLY SOLD IN KANSAS (WHICH IS NOT PART OF THE 9 STATES REPLACEMENT CLAUSE), I LIVE IN MO WHICH IS COVERED BY THE REPLACEMENT CLAUSE. THE LADY THAT I SPOKE TO SAID THAT IT WAS A HUMIDITY ISSUE THAT WOULD CAUSE THE WINDOW TO UNGLUE.... SO, I ARGUED THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOW REGISTERED IN A STATE THAT THEY CLAIMED HAS THE LEVEL OF HUMIDITY THAT WOULD CAUSE THE KNOWN ISSUE, BUT, SHE STAYED FIRM ON THE FACT THAT MY VEHICLE WAS ORIGINALLY SOLD IN KANSAS AND THAT...

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

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???

REAR WINDOW FAILURE -- ADHESIVE FAILS & REAR WINDOW FALLS OUT. THE FAILURE OF ANY WINDOW IS NOT NORMAL "WEAR AND TEAR." MANY OF THESE CARS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURE OVER THE YEARS. CHRYSLER FINALLY -- AFTER YEARS OF COMPLAINTS -- ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN #23-03511REVA IN 2011 THAT, ACCORDING TO CHRYSLER, COVERS ONLY VEHICLES DELIVERED IN NINE SOUTHEASTERN STATES. IT EXTENDS WARRANTY COVERAGE TO TEN YEARS (WHICH MEANS CHRYSLER WILL REPLACE THE CONVERTIBLE TOPS UNDER WARRANTY). ALL THESE CARS WERE BUILT IN BELGIUM. CHRYSLER HAD TROUBLE SELLING THESE VEHICLES SO IT AUCTIONED SOME VEHICLES INTERNALLY TO ITS DEALER NETWORK, WHO WERE THEN PERMITTED TO GET WHATEVER THEY COULD FOR BRAND NEW "USED" CARS. MINE WENT TO A DODGE DEALER IN FARMVILLE VA AND WAS SOLD TO ME (VIA EBAY) WITH 3 MILES ON THE ODOMETER IN MID-2007 OR SO. 33 MOS. OF "NEW CAR WARRANTY" REMAINED WHEN I...

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

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

THE REAR WINDOW GLASS FELL OUT OF THE CONVERTIBLE TOP. *TR

REAR WINDOW TOTALLY SEPARATED FROM SOFT TOP, AND FELL OUT. *JS

THE BACK GLASS ADHESIVE ON THE CONVERTIBLE SOFT TOP ON MY 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE ROADSTER IS FAILING ON THE DRIVERS SIDE ALMOST 3 INCHES ACROSS TOP AND BOTTOM, CAUSING THE GLASS TO SEPARATE FROM THE FABRIC TOP. THIS ADHESIVE IS THE ONLY SUPPORT FOR THE WINDOW TO THE FABRIC TOP. THE WINDOW/TOP CONNECTION CURRENTLY DOES NOT PROVIDE A WATERPROOF SEAL AND ALLOWS WATER TO ENTER THE VEHICLE. 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. *KB

WHILE SITTING PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY ON A HOT SUMMER DAY THE BACK GLASS OF MY CONVERTIBLE TOP BECAME SEPARATED FROM THE FABRIC OF THE TOP AS A RESULT OF ADHESIVE FAILURE. HAD THIS OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING PERSONAL INJURY WOULD HAVE RESULTED. *KB

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...

THE REAR GLASS WINDOW IN MY CROSSFIRE ROADSTER JUST FELL OUT. THE VEHICLE IS GARAGED KEPT, HAS 27K MILES, AND TOP LOOKS LIKE NEW. AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH ON THE WEB THIS TURNS OUT TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS VEHICLE AND I WOULD SAY A FACTORY DEFECT. MINE DID NOT OCCUR WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD BUT I CAN SEE THIS EASILY HAPPENING IF IT FELL OUT WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WITH THE WINDOWS DOWN. THE GLASS COULD GO STRAIGHT OUT THE BACK. *KB

2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLE REAR WINDOW GLASS LOOSENED AND FELL OUT. IT APPEARS AS THOUGH GLUE RELEASED DUE TO HEAT BY THE WAY THE GLUE WAS "STRINGING" FROM TOP TO GLASS. CONTACT WITH LOCAL DEALERSHIPS, INCLUDING DEALER PURCHASED FROM, WITHOUT RELIEF OR SOLUTION OTHER THAN TOTAL REPLACEMENT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE ROADSTER. THE REAR WINDOW THAT IS ATTACHED TO THE IS LOOSE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE GLASS ADHESIVE WAS NOT SECURING THE WINDOW IN PLACE AS IT SHOULD; YET, THE ENTIRE ROOF NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. REPORT 1958523 WAS FILED WITH THE MANUFACTURER WHO ALSO OFFERED THE CONTACT $727.00 TOWARD THE ESTIMATED REPAIR COST OF $ 1,400.00. THE VEHICLE WILL BE REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 34,900.

THE REAR WINDOW CAME OUT OF MY 2005 CROSSFIRE WAS INFORMED THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM, THE ONLY FIX WAS TO REPLACE THE TOP.THE TOP IS LIKE NEW ,THE PROBLEM IS THE ADHESIVE FAILED. THIS CAR HAS BEEN KEPT IN A GARAGE FOR YEARS . THERE SHOULD BE SOME RECOURSE TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM! *TR

BACK WINDOW FELL OUT WHILE DRIVING DOWN ROAD, IN MY CONVERTIBLE CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE 2005. CALLED CHRYSLER AND WAS NO HELP TO ME. SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE TOP. SO I REPAIRED MYSELF AND NOW THE TOP LEAKS AND DID DAMAGE TO THE WIRING HARNESS. MY AUTO INSURANCE PAID FOR THE WATER DAMAGE BUT WILL NOT FIX THE TOP. MY EXTEND WARRANTY WILL NOT COVER THE TOP EITHER. I FILL THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD MAN UP AND TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM. *TR
