  I HAVE A 2006 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE BACK WINDOW BECAME DETACHED FROM THE CANVAS. I WAS DRIVING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN JUST COMPLETELY FELL OUT.

• 11/07/2014· STRUCTURE,VISIBILITY/WIPER

  CHRYSLER EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THE 2005 MODEL AND ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THE BACK WINDOW ON THE CONVERTIBLES TEND TO COME UNGLUED AND FALL OUT. I OWN A 2006 MODEL AND I JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE WITH A CHRYSLER REP AND SHE SAID "THERE HAVE BEEN NO REPORTS" FOR THE 2006 BACK WINDOW COMING UNGLUED ON THE CONVERTIBLES SO I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR OUT OF MY POCKET AND "KEEP GOOD RECEIPTS" IN CASE CHRYSLER DECIDES TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF IT'S MANUFACTURING DEFECT IN THE 2006 MODEL. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THE SAME MANUFACTURING DEFECT CAN BE RECOGNIZED FOR ONE YEAR AND NOT THE NEXT. WHAT CAN CHRYSLER PRODUCE TO SHOW THAT THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM WITH THE 2006 CONVERTIBLES? ALSO, I SEE MANY PEOPLE COMPLAINING THAT THE 2006 MODEL HAS THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE REAR WINDOW FALLING OUT SO WHY AM I THE ONLY COMPLAINT ON RECORD WITH CHRYSLER??? THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE NOT A COSMETIC PROBLEM. WHY WOULDN'T CHRYSLER WANT THEIR VEHICLES TO BE SAFE? I WAS ALSO TOLD ON THE PHONE THAT THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT ARE MAINTENANCE ISSUES THAT ARE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE OWNER. I NEVER THOUGHT IN A MILLION YEARS THAT I IT WOULD BE MY RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE ALL THE WINDOWS STAYED ON THE CAR!!!! *TR

  ADHESIVE HOLDING REAR WINDOW IN PLACE BEGAN TO SEPARATE FROM CONVERTIBLE TOP. OTHER CROSSFIRE OWNERS HAVE REPORTED TOTAL FAILURE. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE IF/WHEN THE REAR WINDOW COMPLETELY SEPARATES AND DETACHES FROM THE VEHICLE AND POSES A HAZARD TO OTHERS I.E., PEDESTRIAN, MOTORCYCLE RIDERS, ETC. ALL THE TOPS WERE PRODUCED BY THE SAME MANUFACTURER (KARMANN) ALTHOUGH CHRYSLER IS ONLY WILLING TO REPLACE CERTAIN 2005 MODELS BASED ON THE STATE THEY WERE ORIGINALLY SOLD. THIS MAKES NO SENSE, CHRYSLER AND THE NHTSA SHOULD RECALL ALL TOPS PRODUCED AND REPLACE THEM WITH A TOP WITH THE REAR WINDOW ATTACHED WITH SOME TYPE OF IMPROVED ADHESIVE SO THE RISK TO OTHERS IS ELIMINATED. *TR

  THE REAR WINDOW OF THE CONVERTIBLE TOP IS FALLING OUT. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE WAS BUILT IN OCTOBER 2005, BUT IS CONSIDERED A 2006 MODEL. CHRYSLER TSB 23-035-11 REV A COVERS THE PROBLEM FOR 2005 MODELS. THIS COMMON PROBLEM EFFECTS MORE THAN 2005 VEHICLES. ON 9-11-2015 CHRYSLER WAS CONTACTED (CASE # 27856344). THEY DENIED RESPONSIBILITY. CLAIMED (1) TSA ONLY APPLIED TO VEHICLES IN SOUTHERN STATES (I PROVIDED THEM WITH A REPAIR ORDER FROM WESTBURY CHRYSLER IN WESTBURY, NEW YORK THAT APPLIED THE TSB & PROVIDED NO CHARGE REPLACEMENT TOP. NEW YORK IS NOT A SOUTHERN STATE); (2) TSA ONLY APPLIED TO 2005 VEHICLES (I PROVIDED THEM INFORMATION WHERE TSB HAD BEEN APPLIED TO A 2008 VEHICLE). THIS VEHICLE IS GARAGED MOST DAYS AND HAS ONLY 34,590 MILES. THIS SAFETY PROBLEM IS DUE TO A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM THAT MANUFACTURE IS TRYING TO AVOID. VEHICLE IS IN ST. LOUIS, MO

  REAR GLASS WINDOW ADHESIVE FAILED AND WNDOW IS FALLING OUT. GLASS WINDOW ON CONVERTABLE ROOF IS SEPARATING FROM VINAL. THE WINDOW WILL EVENTIALLY FALL OUT COMPLETELY CAUSING UNSAFE CONDITIONS. CALLED CHRYSLER AND WAS TOLD NO WARRANTY OR RECALL AND THAT WHOLE CONVERTABLE TOP WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED FOR APPROX $2000. THE CAR IS ALWAYS IN A GARAGE AND HAS VERY FEW MILES. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A POOR DESIGN. WINDOW COULD FALL OUT AND CAUSE SEVERE DAMAGE OR ACCIDENT.

  WHEN I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE IN DECEMBER 2007, I DID NOT HAD ANY MAJOR PROBLEMS. UNTIL... ON OR ABOUT THE FIRST OF JUNE, 2012, I PARKED MY CAR AND NOTICED THAT THE REAR WINDOW HAD COME A PART FROM THE CONVERTIBLE TOP. SINCE I HAD NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT, I BEGAN TO RESEARCH ONLINE TO SEE IF OTHER CONSUMERS HAD EXPERIENCED THIS WINDOW ISSUE. SITE AFTER SITE, COMPLAINT AFTER COMPLAINT WAS READ. WITH SO MANY PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM WITHOUT A SUITABLE RESPONSE OR SOLUTION TO ITS CONSUMER, THIS HAS BECOME A SERIOUS PROBLEM, A DEFECT THAT MUST BE RESOLVED AND THE CARS SHOULD BE RECALLED. THE POTENTIAL TO ENDANGER LIVES FAR OUTWEIGHS ANY OTHER CONSIDERATION. WHEN SOMEONE BUYS A CONVERTIBLE, ONE DOESN'T EXPECT TO BE DRIVING ALONG AND THE GLASS COMES FLYING DOWN AND OUT. IT'S NOT SAFE! THE ONLY REPAIR SOLUTION IS THE ENTIRE TOP MUST BE REPLACED (COSTING UPWARDS OF $2100) DUE TO NO NEGLIGENCE OF THE CONSUMER. IF I HAVE READ THESE COMPLAINTS, I'M CERTAIN THAT CHRYSLER HAS AS WELL. YEARS OF THIS PROBLEM HAS PERSISTED. STILL POOR PRODUCTION OF THIS SAME PRODUCT AND NO RECALL BY CHRYSLER. THE COMPANY HASN'T SKIMPED ON THE SALES PRICES ON THIS VEHICLE. I DON'T EXPECT IT TO TAKE SHORTCUTS WHEN IT COMES TO CONSUMER SAFETY. WHY SHOULD THE CONSUMER SUFFER LOSS OF SAFETY AND WELFARE? I HUMBLY ASK THAT THESE VEHICLES BE RECALLED. *TR

  AS THE CASE WITH MANY OTHER PEOPLE...MY BACK WINDOW IS JUST FALLING OUT AS WELL. THE ONLY REMAINING ADHESIVE IS ON THE BOTTOM OF THE GLASS. AFTER SOME RESEARCH I FOUND THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AND FIGURED CHRYSLER SURELY WOULD BE TAKING CARE OF THIS ONLY TO FIND THAT THEY WILL ONLY FIX THE 2005'S???? WHY NOT THE REST OF US? THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 30K MILES SO IT'S NOT NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. THIS IS 100% A FACTORY DEFECT. IF YOU HAVE A 2006 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE IT'S NOT A MATTER OF IF, IT'S A MATTER OF WHEN THE BACK WINDOW WILL FALL OUT. BUT DO NOT EXPECT THE MANUFACTURER TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. BUYER BEWARE. *TR

  I OWN A 2006 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE. MY BACK WINDOW IS FALLING OUT AND IT SEEMS THAT CHRYSLER DOES NOT WANT TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THE FAULTY ADHESIVE AND FAULTY WORKMANSHIP OF THE CONVERTIBLE TOP. I CANNOT DRIVE MY CAR BECAUSE THE GLASS WILL COME OUT AND RESULT IN HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE, PEDESTRIAN OR OTHER OBJECT. THIS PROBLEM HAS LEFT THOUSANDS OF CROSSFIRE OWNERS IN A BAD SITUATION. CHRYSLER DID ISSUE A RECALL ON THE 2005'S UNDER TSB 23-035-11REVA BUT NOT FOR ANY OTHER MODEL YEARS. STATE FARM INSURANCE INFORMED ME THE SAME TOP/MANUFACTURER/ADHESIVE IS USED ON ALL CROSSFIRE MODEL YEARS THEREFORE IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER AN INSURANCE CLAIM. I'VE DRIVEN MY CAR 3 TIMES SINCE NOTICING THE WINDOW AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUES TO GET WORSE; BECOMING MORE AND MORE OF A SAFETY ISSUE. I WANT TO KNOW WHEN CHRYSLER WILL BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF ALL OF THE FAULTY EQUIPMENT THEY MARKETED AND SOLD TO TRUSTING CONSUMER. I AM ASKING THE NHTSA TO FORCE THE RECALL ON ALL CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLE TOPS, NO MATTER WHAT YEAR THEY WERE MANUFACTURED OR WHERE THEY SHIPPED. FAULTY EQUIPMENT IS FAULTY EQUIPMENT AND THE PROBLEM NEEDS TO RECTIFIED BY THE MANUFACTURER. I AM ASKING FOR THE HELP FROM THE NHTSA - THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS - THIS IS OBVIOUSLY NOT AN ISOLATED CASE. UNTIL THEN, MY CAR IS NOT ABLE TO BE DRIVEN.

THE ORIGINAL REAR WINDOW IN MY UNCLE'S 1958 IMPALA IS AS SECURE AS THE DAY IT WAS INSTALLED, SO I REJECT CHRYSLER'S CLAIM OF "NORMAL WEAR"!

  AS I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK, THE REAR CONVERTIBLE WINDOW DISLODGED FROM THE CANVAS BY 80%.I SLOWLY DROVE THE VEHICLE TO TWO LOCAL AUTHORIZED CHRYSLER DEALERSHIPS FOR INSPECTIONS. BOTH DEALERSHIPS STATED THAT THE 1/2' OF ADHESIVE THAT GLUED THE WINDOW TO THE CANVAS HAD DETERIORATED AND CAUSED THE WINDOW TO COME LOOSE. THE SECOND AUTHORIZED DEALER TOOK PHOTOS AS WELL AS I DID DOCUMENTING THE DAMAGE. THIS CAR IS RATED BY DAIMLER-BENZ OF SPEEDS UP TO 154 MPH. IF THE WINDOW WOULD HAVE COMPLETELY DISLODGED IT WOULD HAVE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED ANYONE TRAVELING BEHIND ME. I WAS APPALLED BY THE CHEAP QUALITY CONSTRUCTION AND WORKMANSHIP OF THE INSTALL OF THIS WINDOW. I HAVE PHOTOS DOCUMENTING THE QUALITY (OR LACK OF) THE DESIGN. I HAVE READ SOME ARTICLES ON THE INTERNET WHERE OWNERS CLAIM THAT THEY (CHRYSLER-DAIMLER-BENZ) HAVE REPLACED ROOFS BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT. I BELIEVE IN THE INTEREST OF SAFETY, THAT THESE VEHICLES SHOULD BE MANDATORY RECALLED AND FORCED TO REPAIR THESE SERIOUS DEFECTS. *TR
