2005 Chrysler Crossfire

HAVE A 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLE AND THE BACK WINDOW CAME APART FROM THE CANVAS. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 27,000 MILES ON IT. CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAY IT IS NOT A DEFECT BUT FROM OTHER COMPLAINTS I HAVE SEEN THIS IS HAPPENING OFTEN IN THE CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLE. TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THIS WOULD BE GOODWILL BY THEM SINCE I WAS ONLY 13 DAYS OUT OF WARRANTY WHEN THIS HAPPENED, BUT THEY ARE NOT RETURNING MY PHONE CALLS. *TR

THE REAR WINDOW OF MY 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE HAS COME UNGLUED. THE CAR HAS BEEN GARAGE KEPT AND HAS ABOUT 10,000 MILES. I PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY HOWEVER, I AM TOLD THAT IT IS NOT COVERED. THIS IS A MANUFACTURER FAULT. I AM TOLD THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND THE ONLY REPAIR ADVISE GIVEN WAS TO HAVE THE TOP SENT BACK TO CHRYSLER AT MY EXPENSE TO HAVE THE REGLUE. I WAS QUOTED IN THE THOUSANDS TO HAVE THIS DONE. WHAT MAKES THEM THINK DOING THE SAME PROCESS AGAIN WILL NOW WORK? *TR

I WAS INVOLVED IN AN AT-FAULT WRECK ON JULY 10, 2009. MY FOOT SLIPPED OFF THE BRAKE PEDAL WHEN SLOWING DOWN FOR A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND I WAS UNABLE TO STOP MY SLOWING CAR. I CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF A UPS TRUCK. MY CHEST SLAMMED INTO THE STEERING WHEEL BECAUSE THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE PASSENGER'S AIRBAG DID. THE POLICE AND FIREMAN WERE EXTREMELY SHOCKED AND IT IS WRITTEN UP THE POLICE ACCIDENT REPORT. I NEED HELP IN CONTACTING CHRYSLER CONCERNING THIS INCIDENT. MY CAR WAS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD AND HAD ONLY 46,000 MILES ON IT. I AM NOW DISABLED AND CAN NO LONGER WORK TO SUPPORT MYSELF. THE HOSPITAL SENT ME HOME FROM THE EMERGENCY ROOM AND PAIN CONTINUED TO WORSEN IN MY NECK AND LOWER BACK UNTIL I WAS FORCED TO STOP WORKING AFTER 33 YEARS IN THE SAFETY FIELD. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH SEVERAL ATTORNEYS AND THEY HAVE INFORMED ME THEY WILL NOT TAKE THE CASE BECAUSE CHRYSLER IS IN BANKRUPTCY. BIG DEAL! THEY ARE STILL SELLING CARS!!!!! THE GOVERNMENT BAILED THEM OUT TO THE TUNE OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, THEIR EXECUTIVES STILL RECEIVED MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN BONUSES, ETC. AND I, AN OWNER OF ONE OF THEIR VEHICLES, WHICH I LONGED FOR SINCE IT WAS RELEASE AND AM NOW DISABLE DUE TO A MALFUNCTION OF THE AIRBAG, WHICH IS DOCUMENTED BY POLICE. THIS WILL NOT BE MY FINAL EFFORT TO RECEIVE DAMAGES FROM CHRYSLER. MY NEXT STEP IS TO CONTACT MY STATE REPRESENTATIVES AND SENATOR, AND TO THEN WRITE LETTERS TO EVERY NEWSPAPER WHO WILL PRINT MY LETTER. THIS IS A CRYING SHAME. I HAVE BEEN IN EXECUTIVE SAFETY MY ENTIRE CAREER AND THIS TAKES THE CAKE!!!!!!!! I DESERVE MORE THAT AN EXCUSE. I DESERVE AN EAR WITH CHRYSLER! IF I DO NOT HEAR SOON, I WILL TAKE MY NEXT STEP. I WILL CONTINUE UNTIL I RECEIVE COMPENSATION FOR MY LOSS. LOSS IN THE ABILITY TO SUPPORT MYSELF. *TR

BACK WINDSHIELD FELL OUT OF CAR. THE COMPANY HAS HAD A PROBLEM WITH THIS FROM ALL THE INFORMATION I CAN GET ON IT. THE CAR ONLY HAS 40,000 MILES ON IT. NEVER HAVE I HAD A CAR TO LOSE BACK WINDSHIELD. I'M ON A WAITING LIST FOR A NEW TOP (THIS CAN'T BE REPAIR...HAS TO BE REPLACED) SINCE JULY. THE ESTIMATED TIME TO GET IT IN IS OCT. 29, 2009. THIS IS A DEFECT THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED. I'M JUST LUCKY I WASN'T DRIVING WHEN IT POPPED OUT. *TR

I OWN A 2005 CROSSFIRE WITH 23300 MILES. MY IGNITION KEY BEGAN TO "STICK" WHEN STARTING THE CAR. IT STUCK ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO BUT I WAS ABLE TO START THE CARE AFTER 15 MINUTES OF TRYING. YESTERDAY THE IGNITION STUCK AND I WAS NOT ABLE TO START THE CAR. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A DEALER IN SAN JOSE CA. THE SERVICE WRITER TOLD ME HE HAD ANOTHER CROSSFIRE IN FOR SERVICE FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. *TR

2005 CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLE, ALWAYS GARAGED. BACK WINDOW GLASS RELEASED FROM TOP. WARRANTY WILL NTO COVER EVEN THOUGH DEALERSHIP STATES KNOWN ISSUE. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING COULD HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS INJURY. REPLACEMENT COST IS $2200+ AS ALL REPAIR SHOPS STATED SAME DIAGS...CANNOT SIMPLY GLUE BACK IN AS WILL ONLY LAST A FEW MONTHS AT MOST. ALL SHOPS ALSO STATED THEY SEE THIS ON A CONTINUOUS BASIS. THERE ARE LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF THESE COMPLAINTS OF THIS SAME ISSUE ON THE WEB. *TR

HEADLIGHT LENSES CLOUDY AND CRAZING. DEALER REFUSED TO REPLACE UNDER WARRANTY. DISTRICT MANAGER REFUSED TO REPLACE UNDER WARRANTY. LATER DIRECTED DEALER TO POLISH LENSES. MADE THEM WORSE. LATER OFFERED 50-50 COST SHARE. A. MY COST WOULD BE IN EXCESS OF $500.00 AND B. CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND IS APPARENTLY A MANUFACTURE DEFECT. NUMEROUS OTHER OWNERS HAVE HAD THEIR LIGHTS REPLACED BY DEALERS, APPEARS TO BE NO HARD AND FAST RULE. DISTRICT MANAGER IS TRYING BULLYING TACTICS. HE HAS NEVER SEEN THE CAR, EVEN THOUGH I TRIED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS TO MEET WITH HIM. HE IS UNAPPROACHABLE AND INCOMMUNICADO TO ANYONE OUTSIDE OF THE DEALER. I HAVE PHOTOS. I GAVE A PHOTO TO SERVICE MANAGER TO ATTEMPT TO GET THIS RESOLVED. DISTRICT MANAGER HAS NOT REPLIED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR WINDSHIELD BECAME DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH. SHE PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER AND NOTICED THAT THE WINDOW HAD SHATTERED INTO PIECES. SHE CALLED THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER, BUT NO ONE HAD THE PARTS AVAILABLE DUE TO A BACK ORDER. THE CONTACT BELIEVES THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE. SHE FURTHER STATED THAT A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED OR THE PARTS SHOULD BE AVAILABLE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 49,000.

THE CHROME TRIM ON THE BACKSIDE OF MY 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE INTERIOR DOOR PULL IS PEELING AND BECOMING VERY SHARP. THIS OCCURS ON BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOORS. I RECENTLY SLICED MY FINGER OPEN WHILE CLOSING THE DRIVER'S DOOR. THERE IS A TSB OUT TO FIX THIS ISSUE, BUT SINCE MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY CHRYSLER WILL DO NOTHING. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN. *TR
