2005 Chrysler Crossfire Convertible

REAR WINDOW ADHESIVE FAILURE IN CONVERTIBLE TOP. CHRYSLER HAS ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLITIN # X31 WHICH COVERS COST OF REPAIRS BUT ONLY FOR CARS THAT WERE DELIVERED TO CERTAIN SOUTHERN STATES BUT, ALL 05 CROSSFIRES WERE BUILT IN THE SAME PLANT IN BELGIUM AND SHOULD BE COVERED. FAILURE OF ANY WINDOW IS NOT CONSIDERED NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. COVERING ONLY SOME VEHICLES IS UNFAIR BUSINESS PRACTICE. *JS

I HAVE A 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLE, THE KEY DOES NOT TURN. MY CAR DOES NOT TURN ON. THE STEERING WHEEL IS LOCKED. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY BIG ISSUE AS I FOUND POSTING FROM OTHER PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET WITH THE SAME ISSUE. ALL THE POSTING STATES THAT THE IGNITION GOES BAD WITHOUT ANY WARNING. CHRYSLER IS NOT ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE. I THINK THE IGNITION SWITCH NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING ACROSS A BRIDGE ON THE INTER COASTAL WATERWAY IN MELBOURNE FLORIDA, THE TOP PIECE OF THE METAL WINDSHIELD MOLDING WAS BLOWN LOOSE FROM THE VEHICLE AND SLAMMED AGAINST THE TOP. IF THE TOP HAD BEEN DOWN, PASSENGERS COULD HAVE POSSIBLE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED. DAMAGE TO OTHER VEHICLES COULD HAVE OCCURRED AND/OR INJURY TO PEDESTRIANS WAS POSSIBLE. I WAS NOT ABLE TO LOCATE THE METAL MOLDING. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON STREET IN MY HOME TOWN ABOUT 30 MPH AND ENGINE DIES AND DOES NOT START. I WALK TO A STORE CAME BACK IN 15 -20 MINUTES CARE STARTED BACK AGAIN. DROVE ABUT 6 MILE VERY CLOSE TO MY HOUSE CAR DIED ON STREET AGAIN. I CHECKED ON CROSS FIRE FORUM OTHER CROSSFIRE OWNER HAS SAME ISSUE. CRANK SHAFT SENSOR AND SENSOR CONNECTOR WIRE IS NOT CONNECTED PROPERLY TO THE COMPUTER BOARD. WHEN ENGINE GETS HOT CONNECTOR WIRE GETS LOOSE AND SHUT THE ENGINE DOWN IT HAPPENED THREE TIME IN LAST TWO WEEKS I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE BECAUSE IT DIES ALL THE SUDDEN WHILE DRIVING NOW IT IS SEATING IN MY GARAGE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLE. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 60 MPH WHEN THE REAR WINDOW SEAL FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR INSPECTION BUT WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,100.

THE REAR WINDOW DELAMINATED FROM THE CONVERTIBLE TOP AND IS FALLING OUT. CHRYSLER IS WELL AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND HAS ADMITTED THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE ADHESIVE. THEY HAVE FAILED TO RECALL THE TOPS OF THIS CAR AND IT A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. THEY ARE HAND PICKING WHO GETS REPLACEMENT ROOFS. THE COST OF THE ROOF IS 2,000 CHRYSLER HAS AN X31 EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT COVERS THIS ISSUE BUT NOT EVERYONE QUALIFIES. THE CAR NEEDS A RECALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SHAME ON CHRYSLER AND THEY'RE VERY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!

REAR WINDOW CAME LOOSE FROM CONVERTIBLE TOP. CHRYSLER IS ONLY REPAIRING CARS THAT WERE DELIVERED TO SOUTHERN STATES WHEN NEW. MY MOM BOUGHT THIS CAR IN PA AND DROVE IT TO FLA WHEN SHE RETIRED...CAR HAS BEEN THERE SINCE 2008 OR 2009. DOESN'T SEEM FAIR TO ME...ONLY 27,893 MILES! [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ADHESIVE ON REAR GLASS WINDOW COMING LOOSE, HAS BEEN FOR MONTHS NOW. WINDOW IS NOW BARELY HELD IN BY TOP STRIP OF GLUE & COULD FALL OUT AT ANY MOMENT. ISSUE IS COVERED UNDER A SERVICE BULLETIN FROM CHRYSLER BUT THEY ARE DENYING MY CLAIM BECAUSE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED IN A DIFFERENT STATE. IF THE WINDOW FALLS OUT IT COULD HURT A PASSENGER OR EVEN FLY OUT FROM THE CAR AND HARM SOMEONE ELSE ON THE ROAD. THIS ISSUE HAPPENS TO ALL 2005 CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLES DUE TO A DEFECT IN MANUFACTURING. *TR
