Crossfire

  • 12,000 miles
The rear window is glass and the glue bond to the convertible top fails. I called Chrysler in August of 2016 when our window fell loose and I learned of an extended warranty that was never offered to us. They told me they had an extended warranty for the car but my VIN did not qualify and it was only for 10 years. We purchased the vehicle on 2/6/2005 in plano Texas. From all the research I've done the extended warranty should have been for all cars sold in Texas. We never received notice. As I continue to research, this problem is far greater than cars sold in a few southern states and Chrysler should be covering our repair. I've attempted to resolve this with Chrysler multiple times in the past 2 years with no success.

Crossfire

  • 73,000 miles
While driving my car, to the coast on the highway, the back window started making loud flopping noise, it scared me to death, I didn't know what was going on, I pulled over and noticed that the back window had separated from the convertible top and was just hanging at the top. It scared me to death. I didn't know what to do, so I took the down down, because I thought for sure I would loose the whole window if I continued with the top up.

Crossfire

  • 70,000 miles
The rear windshield has become detached. The car is located in Indiana and there was no visible warning that this was coming apart. I have contacted a convertible company and they are quoting 1900 for replacement of the whole top. In reading others complaints I would like to know the status of the NHTSA's investigation of this issue. The car was in motion and the rear started to sound like something was banging against the body of the car. This prompted me to pull over to investigate. Due to this issue the car is not safe to drive in its current state.

Crossfire

  • 61,000 miles
I was driving my 2005 Chrysler Crossfire convertible with the top up on a highway at 65 miles per hour when the rear window fell into the car, which caused me to swerve due to the loud noise and commotion nearly causing an accident. Luckily, I realized there was no immediate danger and was able to maintain control of the car. This car is garaged and driven fewer than 6,000 miles per year! (mostly with the top down!)
