  IN JULY, THE REAR GLASS WINDOW FELL OUT (PART OF THE GLASS IS STILL ATTACHED) WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON A STREET. UNKNOWN TO ME, THIS ISSUE WAS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THE 2005 MODEL (THE GLASS ADHESIVE FAILED). ALTHOUGH CHRYSLER EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THE TOP FOR 10 YEARS, THE WARRANTY COVERS ONLY CARS PURCHASE WITH SPECIFIC VINS. UNFORTUNATELY, MY CAR WAS NOT COVERED OR I WAS NOT NOTIFIED. , THE WINDOW REPAIR (ACTUALLY A TOP REPLACEMENT) IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I HAVE PROPED UP THE WINDOW SO I CAN DRIVE THE CAR, THE ALTURNITIVE IS TO A NEW TOP. FOR ABOUT $2,000

• 12/31/2008· EXTERIOR LIGHTING

  THE "CLEAR" COVER OVER THE PROJECTION HEADLIGHTS ASSEMBLY AND YELLOW SIGNAL LIGHT HAS BECOME SEVERELY CLOUDED/FADED PARTICULARLY ON THE UPPER HALF OF THE COVER. THE SIGNAL LIGHT IS BECOMING OBSCURED BEHIND THE CLOUDINESS. THE CAR HAS VERY LITTLE MILEAGE AND THE DEFECT IS NOT THE RESULT OF ROAD DEBRIS DAMAGE (ROCKS/SAND). NO REPAIR WAS MADE BECAUSE THE DEALER BLAMES THE MANUFACTURER FOR DENYING CLAIM, AND THE MANUFACTURER SAYS IT IS UP TO THE DEALER TO PERFORM THE WORK AND PLACE A CLAIM. I BELIEVE IT TO BE A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT BECAUSE I HAVE COMPARED THE LENS ON MY CAR TO OTHER VEHICLES OF THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL (SOME OF WHICH WERE OLDER AND HAD MUCH MORE MILEAGE) AND YET ARE IN BETTER CONDITION THAN THE ONE ON MY CAR. *TR

  CAR WOULDN'T START SEVERAL TIMES SINCE PURCHASE. THE BATTERY WAS FULLY CHARGED, TOOK IT TO A CHRYSLER DEALER WHO "CLEANED UP SOME GROUNDS". THE LIGHTS, STEREO, ETC WORKED BUT THE MOTOR DIDN'T EVEN MAKE A SOUND WHEN TRYING TO START. ONE TIME WHEN IT DID START I WAS MAKING A TURN WHEN THE CAR COMPLETELY DIED...I DIDN'T REALIZE IT AT FIRST BECAUSE THE HEATER, RADIO, PANEL WERE ALL LIT UP AND WORKING. I WAS VERY LUCKY TO BE ABLE TO MAKE IT SAFELY TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED BACK TO THE GARAGE. WHEN THEY STARTED WORKING ON IT, THE PANEL BEHIND THE GLOVE BOX STARTED SMOKING. I NOW HAVE A VERY NICE, USELESS LITTLE CAR WITH ONLY 50,000 MILES ON IT BECAUSE #CHRYSLER CAN'T FIX IT FOR ME. *TR

  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 REC'D IT HERE IN HAWAII. WHEN THAT WARRANTY EXPIRED I PURCHASED AN EXTENDED "PLATINUM" WARRANTY. THE REAR WINDOW FELL OUT OF THE CONVERTIBLE TOP THREE MONTHS AFTER THE INITIAL 36 MONTH WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED, THE EXTENDED "PLATINUM" WARRANTY WOULDN'T COVER REPAIRS. THE CAR HAD APPROX. 8000 MILES ON IT. AS NOTED BEFORE, CHRYSLER ISSUED THE SERVICE BULLETIN MENTIONED ABOVE IN 2011 BUT ARBITRARILY EXCLUDED SOME VEHICLES DESPITE THE PROBLEM OCCURRING IN CARS ALL OVER THE NATION. I GUESS THAT THEY THOUGHT THAT THE PROBLEM WOULD HAPPEN ONLY IN CERTAIN CLIMES -- BUT THERE ARE MORE THAN NINE U.S. STATES THAT GET HOT WEATHER, E.G., HAWAII EXPERIENCES HOT SUN YEAR-ROUND. AND MINE FELL OUT DESPITE VERY LOW MILEAGE AND THE CAR BEING GARAGED WHEN NOT IN USE. I REQUEST NHTSA DEMAND THAT CHRYSLER EXTEND COVERAGE TO ALL VEHICLES THAT FIT THE CRITERIA, NOT JUST THOSE "DELIVERED" IN NINE OF FIFTY STATES. THE FAILURE OF ANY WINDOW IS NOT NORMAL "WEAR AND TEAR" NO MATTER WHERE IT HAPPENS. THANKS. *TR

  I CAME OUTSIDE TO FIND THAT THE REAR WINDOW OF THE CONVERTIBLE TOP HAD COME LOOSE AND WAS LAYING ON THE REAR DECK BEING HELD TO THE FABRIC IN 1 SMALL PLACE. THE CAR HAD BEEN PARKED OUTSIDE FOR 1 DAY. LUCKILY IT DIDN'T FALL OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING, POTENTIALLY SHATTERING THE GLASS NEAR MY HEAD. UNTIL THE CAR IS REPAIRED IT IS UNUSABLE IN FOUL WEATHER DUE TO WATER RUNNING IN THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT.

  MY2005 CROSSFIRE ROADSTER CONVERTIBLE JUST STOPPED RUNNING TWICE WHILE DRIVING ON A VERY BUSY ROAD! THE FIRST TIME I WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT WHEN THE CAR DIED. I HAD NO POWER AND THE CAR WOULD NOT RESTART. AS THE LIGHT HAD NOW TURNED GREEN EVERY CAR IN EVERY LANE STARTED TO MOVE FORWARD. OF COURSE THE PERSON BEHIND ME STARTED BEEPING AND SCREAMING! I GOT OUT OF THE CAR (VERY DANGEROUS) AND STARTED TO PUSH THE CAR OVER SEVERAL LANES TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. TWO MEN JUMPED OUT AND HELPED ME PUSH IT TO A SIDE ROAD OFF THE MAIN ROAD. CARS WERE NOW FLYING PAST US GOING AT LEAST 45 TO 50 MPH. MY CAR WAS TOWED TO MY HOME CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND AFTER 3 DAYS THE MECHANIC REPLACED THE ENGINE RELAY CONTROL MODULE WHICH HAD AN INTERNAL FAILURE. THE CAR RAN FINE FOR 9 MONTHS WHEN THE SAME THING HAPPENED BUT THIS SECOND TIME I WAS GOING 45 MPH WHEN THE CAR JUST DIED. I NEARLY GOT HAMMERED TRYING TO ALLOW MY SLOWING VEHICLE'S MOMENTUM TO TAKE ME ACROSS SEVERAL LANES OF TRAFFIC TRYING TO GET TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD BEFORE STOPPING. IT WAS FRIGHTENING AND VERY DANGEROUS!!! MY CAR WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP BUT AFTER TWO DAYS I WAS TOLD THEY DID NOT HAVE THE EQUIPMENT TO ANALYZE OR FIX THE PROBLEM. FORTUNATELY MY INSURANCE COMPANY WAS KIND ENOUGH TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED A SECOND TIME TO THE DEALERSHIP I USED ON THE FIRST INCIDENT. THEY HAVE NOW HAD MY CAR FOR OVER A WEEK WITH VERY LITTLE COMMUNICATION. THEY CLAIM THEY CAN'T GET THE CAR STARTED (DUH) AND THEY CAN'T EVEN GET THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL TO PUSH IT INTO A BAY TO WORK ON IT. (HUNH?). THEY CLAIM THEY NEED A COMPUTER PART FROM MERCEDES TO ANALYZE THE PROBLEM. (WHAT?) NOW THEY TELL ME THEY GOT THE CAR INTO THE BAY AND ARE CHARGING THE BATTERY. (REALLY THAT IS ALL THEY'VE DONE IN 7 DAYS?) I AM MORE THAN FRUSTRATED WITH THEM...I WAS TOLD BY THE NON-SERVICE ADVISOR THAT THEY HAVE MANY CARS IN THEIR SHOP FOR MONTHS!

  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.

  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

THEY SAID BECAUSE IT WAS ALREADY FIXED IT WOULD PROBABLY NOT BE COVERED. IS THIS TRUE? I BOUGHT THIS CAR TO BE A DAILY DRIVER, NOT A SUNNY DAY DRIVER.

  THE REAR ADHESIVE ON MY 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE ROADSTERS REAR WINDOW, THAT HOLDS IT TO THE SOFT TOP CONVERTIBLE, HAS BEGUN TO DETACH. I HAVE CALLED CHRYSLER ABOUT THE ISSUE AND THEY EXPLAINED THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY AND THEY WILL NOT ASSIST. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME BECAUSE THE WINDOW COULD DETACH WHILE DRIVING AND POSSIBLY CAUSE HARM AND/OR DEATH TO OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROADWAY. I FOUND A SERVICE BULLETIN ON THE ISSUE WITH A BULLETIN # SB-23035-11REVA THAT RECOMMENDS THAT THE CONVERTIBLE TOP BE INSPECTED AND/OR REPLACED IF DEFECTIVE. CHRYSLER IS NOT HELPING AT ALL WITH THIS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE TO HELP ME FIX IT AND MAKE MY VEHICLE SAFE FOR MYSELF, AND THE OTHERS AROUND ME. I AM A MEMBER OF CROSSFIREFORUM.ORG AND THERE ARE MANY OTHER PEOPLE WITH THIS ISSUE THAT HAVE EITHER GOTTEN IT REPLACED BY CHRYSLER FOR FREE, OR PAID A CO-PAY TO HELP THEM FIX THE PROBLEM, BUT I WAS OFFERED NEITHER FOR THIS EXTREMELY UNSAFE ISSUE MY VEHICLE HAS. PLEASE HELP ME IN ANY WAY THAT YOU CAN. *TR

  MY VEHICLE HAS 30,000 MILES, AND IS FROM THE SO CALLED SOUTHERN STATES. LAST YEAR THE BACK WINDOW SEPARATED FROM THE TOP. I CALLED CHRYSLER TO REQUEST A REPAIR AND WAS DENIED.THE CAR HAD FRONT END DAMAGE WHEN WE BOUGHT IT. WE DOCUMENTED ALL PURCHASES AND PHOTOGRAPHED ALL REPAIRS THAT WERE MADE. THE VEHICLE LOOKS NEW. BUT THE WINDOW IS STILL OUT AND I HAVE TOOK THE CAR OUT OF THE GARAGE 1 TIME THE YEAR. CHRYSLER IS NOT STANDING BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS. WE OWN 2 DODGE DEISELS TRUCKS AND WILL NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THAT COMPANY AGAIN.THE WINDOW STARTED DETACHING WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION, I SLOWED DOWN AND DROVE HOME, UNTIL WE CAN AFFORD REPAIRS.
