While driving the car with the top up the rear window fell loose from failed adhesive. Chrysler has made repairs to 2005 models with the same failure and refused to fix 2006. Same design same part same defect. *tr

The rear glass window has fallen off from the convertible top posing a safety issue. This is a known issue with this car as Chrysler recalled 2005s for the same issue but not the 2006. I have found online that I am not the only one with this issue. *tr

Tl* the contact owns 2006 Chrysler crossfire. The contact stated that the rear window on the convertible top would fall inside the vehicle. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer and was told that the top of the vehicle needed to be replaced. The failure mileage was 34,300.

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

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 sa

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 on

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 pr

I received a laceration on my left hand index finger while grasping the driver side chrome covered door handle. It appears as though the metallic chrome covering has a seam on the inside of the handle which becomes razor sharp. I have used a layer of clear packing tape over the seam to keep from repeating this incident and will do the passenger side as a preemptive measure. *tr

The convertible top rear glass window fell out of the top, I have been told it is not covered under my Chrysler 8 year 80000 mile warranty but they have a recall for the 2005 crossfire's and only in certain states. If this window blows out running 70 MPH down the freeway someone could be injured or killed. They sent me to a repair shop to have it re-glued at my expense. I called and tried to get Chrysler to fix this the right way but was refused any satisfaction. *tr

The rear glass window falls out of the convertible roof and into the passenger compartment. This is chronic with most crossfire roadsters. Easily investigated and verified. It can happen while moving or standing still.

I own a 2006 Chrysler crossfire convertible.on august 29,2014 while parked at a store my backglass came unglued from the top.I was told that the entire canvas top has to be replaced.I went online and this was confirmed.I also saw numerous complaints about this issue.they say it comes unglued due to heat.my car is always kept in a garage and other than this in excellent condtion.this is clearly a Chrysler defect as they are not installing the backglass with a seal that holds up under heat.if this had happened while driving there could have been serious consequences.I & others am not sure what to do,so I hope this will be handled urgently.thank you *tr

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.

Ignition problems. When looking online it appears that this car has a history of ignition problems. Can't get the car to start. Feels like the ignition is loose. Have to turn and wiggle and hope it starts. Just bought this car and very disappointed. Hope there is a recall since it seems to be such a problem for so many people!!!! *tr
