2005 Chrysler Crossfire Convertible

ON AUGUST 22, 2013, I DISCOVERED THE BACK WINDOW OF MY CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLE WAS DETACHED FROM THE CONVERTIBLE TOP. I THOUGHT MY VEHICLE WAS VANDALIZED. I CONTACTED MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND THE POLICE. THE POLICE INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND CONCLUDED THAT IT APPEARS SOMEONE TRIED TO PUSH THE GLASS OUT. UPON INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE FROM MY INSURANCE COMPANY ON 9-3-13 AND REVIEWING THE WEBSITE ON 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE COMPLAINTS, THE ADJUSTER CONCLUDED THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURED DEFECT AND DENIED MY CLAIM. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND WAS INFORMED THAT IT WAS NORMAL WEAR AN TEAR AND NOT COVERED FOR REPAIRS BY CHRYSLER. THE VEHICLE WAS ONLY DRIVEN FOR 28,277 MILES. I HAVE A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN THAT THERE ARE OVER 25 SERIOUS COMPLAINTS IN REGARDS TO THE BACK WINDOWS OF THE 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE AND NOT ONE RECALL FROM CHRYSLER OR THE HIGHWAY PATROL. I AM ASKING CHRYSLER TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR OF THE BACK WINDOW ON MY 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE LIMITED EDITION. FEEL FREE TO ADD MY COMPLAINT TO THE OTHERS LISTED AND I WILL BE SEEKING A RESPONSE FROM CHRYSLER. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED DURING THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY 28, 277 MILES, SO THIS CANNOT BE NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. UNHAPPY CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE CUSTOMER. *JB

THIS VEHICLE HAS A DESIGN FLAW. THE REAR GLASS ON THE CONVERTIBLE TOP COMES UNGLUED FROM THE CANVAS CREAATING A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION WHEREBY THE GLASS CAN ACT LIKE A PROJECTILE TRAVELING EITHER FORWARD, INJURING OR KILLING THE PASSENGERS, OR BACKWARDS, WREAKING HAVOC ON VEHICLES BEHIND. CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THIS CONDITION YET MOST OF THE EMPLOYEES I HAVE COME IN CONTACT WITH CLAIM TO HAVE NEVER HEARD ABOUT IT. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OR MORE VEHICLES INVOLVED. CHRYSLER HAS ADOPTED A POLICY OF RANDOMLY CHOOSING TO REPAIR SOME VEHICLES WHILE NOT REPAIRING OTHERS. THEY HAVE REJECTED MY CLAIM TWICE, WHILE OTHER OWNERS I HAVE SPOKEN WITH WITH THE SAME PROBLEM ARE AWAITING REPAIRS AS SOON AS NEXT WEEK. THEY HAVE CLAIMED THAT THEY ARE ONLY FIXING CARS IN CERTAIN STATES. CALIFORNIA IS NOT ONE OF THEM, ALTHOUGH I WOULD THINK THAT THEY SOLD MANY CROSSFIRE ROADSTERS HERE. I THINK IT IS RECKLESS AND DANGEROUS FOR CHRYSLER TO MAINTAIN THIS DANGEROUS CONDITION. *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 ISSUE. I FEEL CHRYSLER SHOULD BE ORDERED TO RECALL ALL 2005 CROSSFIRE ROADSTERS. I AM ASKING THE NHTSA TO ORDER SUCH A RECALL. *TR
