2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE Unknown Or Other Problems

June 6th 2024, I got into my 2095 Chrysler crossfire and started driving hearing a rattling sound I pulled over and looked in back of my car to see the back window separated away from the soft top and was openly hanging, I had to get home from where I was at so I took back roads all way home and pulled over everytime a car got behind me. Also in past month my car sometimes starts right up and other time it won’t come on. Hubby says it’s an electrical issue. My car died on me as I pulled onto a hiway luckily I was able to pull off to the side of the road. I’ve seen several electrical issues reported on a car forum for these cars, also window separation. I have pics if needed.

Back window glass of the soft top, became unglued and is leaking into the vehicle when it rains. Seems like a fault to me as the top itself is still in great condition.

BACK WINDOW FELL OUT WHILE IN MOTION ON STREET.

THE REAR WINDOW OF THE VEHICLE CAME UNGLUED WHILE DRIVING AND CREATED A MASSIVE DISTURBANCE IN THE VEHICLE. HAD I BEEN ON A HIGHWAY THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN POSSIBLY CATASTROPHIC CONSEQUENCES AND I FEAR FOR THOSE DRIVERS WHO MAY HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS IN THE FUTURE. CHRYSLER MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS BEYOND THE STATES THAT THEY HAVE ALREADY EXTENDED WARRANTIES TO ON VEHICLES WHO HAVE HAD THESE SAME ISSUES. MY VEHICLE WAS SHIPPED TO NEVADA - ALSO A WARM WEATHER STATE, YET NOT PART OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY? THIS MAKES ZERO SENSE. FIX THE ISSUE CHRYSLER - SHAMEFUL BEHAVIOR, TRULY. I AM CURRENTLY HAVING ESTIMATES DONE TO SEE WHAT THE REPAIRS WILL COST AND HEARING THAT THIS WILL BE IN THE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR SOMETHING THAT IS A FAULTY BUILD. THERE ARE LITERALLY DOZENS OF FORUMS WITH CHRYSLER DRIVERS TALKING ABOUT THIS VERY SAME, VERY SCARY ISSUE. COME ON CHRYSLER, BE ACCOUNTABLE.

BY BACK WINDOW GOT UNGLUED & UNABLE TO LOWER MY TOP. ALSO THE ELECTRICAL JUST STOPPED I'M NOT ABLE TO MOVE MY SEATS, OR USE CD PLAYER OR LIGHTER TO PLUG MY PHONE. JUST ONE DAY IT STOPPED WORKING & THEN WITH MY WINDOW UNGLUED I'M NOT ABLE TO TAKE TOP DOWN FOR PAST 2 YEARS. SO I DON'T KNOW WHY THE BACK WINDOW GOT UNGLUED.

THE REAR WINDOW IS FALLING OUT OF THE CONVERTIBLE TOP.

I OWN A 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE. IT IS A CONVERTIBLE. THE REAR WINDOW HAS BECOME UNGLUED CAUSING POSSIBLE SERIOUS INJURY, HAD IT COME TOTALLY UNGLUED IT COULD HAVE CREATED A SERIOUS INJURY SIMILAR TO WHAT SNOW COULD DO IF NOT CLEANED OFF BEFORE LEAVING FOR A TRIP IN YOUR CAR. I HAVE NOTIFIED CHRYSLER AND THEY WILL TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY IN THE REPAIR. THEIR REPLY, THE WARRANTY IS EXPIRED! I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY THIS ISSUE IS NOT BEING TAKEN MORE SERIOUSLY? THERE HAVE BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS FILED WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. A REAR WINDOW THAT COULD BE RELEASED INTO THE REAR OF A HIGHWAY OR FOR THAT MATTER ANY ROAD COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY TO THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE OR OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. I HOPE THIS MATTER IS TAKEN SERIOUS AND SOMEONE FOLLOWS UP WITH AN ALTERNATIVE FOR A VEHICLE THAT HAS BEEN ASSEMBLED WITH FAULTY GLUE OR POOR DESIGN! P.S. THIS WINDOW BECAME LOOSE WHEN MY WIFE HAD NOTICED IT WAS STARTING TO BECOME LOOSE WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY DOING ABOUT 60 MPH. SHE THEN HAD TO APPLY HER BRAKES AND REMAIN AT A SLOW SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY WHICH IS A DANGER IN IT SELF.

DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY WHEN THE REAR GLASS WINDOW OF THE CONVERTIBLE TOP CAME DETACHED FROM THE TOP AND STARTED BANGING ON THE REAR TONNEAU COVER. LUCKILY IT DID FALL COMPLETELY OUT OF THE CAR.

I CAME OUTSIDE TO FIND THAT THE REAR WINDOW OF THE CONVERTIBLE TOP HAD COME LOOSE AND WAS LAYING ON THE REAR DECK BEING HELD TO THE FABRIC IN 1 SMALL PLACE. THE CAR HAD BEEN PARKED OUTSIDE FOR 1 DAY. LUCKILY IT DIDN'T FALL OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING, POTENTIALLY SHATTERING THE GLASS NEAR MY HEAD. UNTIL THE CAR IS REPAIRED IT IS UNUSABLE IN FOUL WEATHER DUE TO WATER RUNNING IN THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT.

YESTERDAY, AFTER PUTTING THE TOP UP, I DROVE THE CAR. I HAD NOT PUT THE TOP UP IN ABOUT A WEEK. CAR SAT OUT IN BLAZING SUN WITH TEMPS IN THE HIGH 90'S FOR ABOUT 2.5 HOURS. WHEN I STARTED DRIVING, I HEARD AN ODD RATTLE. I PULLED OVER AND CHECKED THE CAR TO FIND THAT THE REAR WINDOW WAS SEPARATING FROM THE SOFT TOP. IT WAS ABOUT 2/3 STILL ATTACHED. I HAD TO CONTINUE DRIVING IT. UPON RETURNING HOME, I SEE THAT IT IS NOW 2/3 DISCONNECTED. I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR IN THE RAIN AS MY TRUNK WOULD FLOOD. AFRAID TO TRY TO JERRY RIG IT. UNABLE TO CALL DEALER UNTIL TOMORROW AS THIS, OF COURSE, IS A HOLIDAY WEEKEND. I AM FEARFUL OF DRIVING THE CAR FOR FEAR THE GLASS WILL BECOME COMPLETELY DETACHED. OTHER THAN THE ATTACHED WIRE THAT HEATS THE GLASS FOR DEFOGGING, THERE IS NOTHING THAT WILL SECURE IT IF IT COMPLETELY DETACHES. THERE IS NOTHING TO KEEP IT FROM COMPLETELY DETACHING. I DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO OR OWN ANOTHER CAR. I CANNOT JUST DRIVE MY CAR ON NICE DAYS AND STAY HOME ON RAINY OR COLD ONES. I AM INTERESTED TO SEE WHAT MY DEALERSHIP WILL DO ABOUT THIS. I FEAR NOTHING FROM OTHER ONLINE COMMENTS. THE CAR IS ONLY WORTH ABOUT $6K SO THE IDEA OF PUTTING A NEW TOP ON IT FOR $2-3K OUT OF MY POCKET SEEMS RIDICULOUS. I LOVE MY CAR AND WANT TO KEEP DRIVING IT. IT ONLY HAS 70K MILES AND I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER.

CALLED CHRYSLER CORPORATION ABOUT REAR WINDOW SEPARATING FROM TOP. THEY SAID IT WOULD BE REPLACED BUT I WOULD HAVE TO GO TO A DEALER FOR PICTURES AND INSPECTION. THEY SUGGESTED MANAHAWKIN CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM RT 72 MANAHAWKIN, NJ 08050 609-597-1097. MY CAR WAS INSPECTED AND PICTURES WERE TAKENED BY DEALER ON 8/15/14 AS PER CHRYSLERS REQUEST. INVOICE NUMBER CHCS113759. I HAVE A PAPER FROM DEALER STATING WINDOW IS SEPARATING FROM TOP AND WILL NOTIFY CHRYSLER WITH RESULTS. I RECEIVED A CALL FROM CHRYSLER CORP. STATING MINE IS NOT COVERED BECAUSE IT WAS NOT DELIVERED IN SPECIFIED STATES. I COULD NOT UNDERSTAND THE LOGIC THAT CERTAIN STATES WOULD BE COVERED AND OTHERS NOT WHEN THEY WERE ALL MADE IN THE SAME LOCATIONS. THEY PROBLEM EXIST ON ALL THE CONVERTIBLES. I DO TRAVEL AND IF I WENT BY THEIR CONCEPT TO ONLY COVER STATES THAT HAVE HIGH TEMPERATURES WHAT DO I DO WHEN I TRAVEL TO THOSE STATES WITH THE CAR? I ASK FOR YOUR HELP IN THIS SINCE THIS IS A CAR MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHERE YOU LIVE THE CAR HAS THE PROBLEM IN ALL STATES. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE.

THE REAR WINDOW FELL OUT. I HAD IT REPAIRED BUT THE WINDOW FELL OUT AGAIN. AS A RESULT OF THE WINDOW FALLING OUT, THE REAL DEFROSTER NO LONGER WORKS....UPDATED 11/05/15 *BF. UPDATED 12/06/2017*CN

THE GLASS REAR WINDOW PANEL IN MY CONVERTIBLE TOP BEGAN DETACHING FROM THE TOP. IT APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN HELD ON ONLY BY ADHESIVE. THERE ARE A REMAINING 6 INCHES ON THE TOP THAT ARE STILL GLUED, BUT I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR FOR FEAR THAT THIS WINDOW GLASS WILL FLY OUT AND INJURE OR DAMAGE ANYONE DRIVING BEHIND ME. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY UNSAFE CONDITION, AND I HAVE FOUND THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR THIS SITUATION TO BE REPAIRED, AN ENTIRELY NEW TOP MUST BE INSTALLED. FOR A VEHICLE ONLY 10 YEARS OLD, WITH WELL LESS THAN 100,000 MILES, THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!

THE GLASS REAR WINDOW OF MY CAR IS DETACHING FROM THE CONVERTIBLE SOFT TOP. HAVING BEEN TO SEVERAL CHRYSLER DEALERS OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS, WITH MUCH DIFFICULTY FINDING AUTHORIZED REPAIR TECHNICIANS, I DID NOT TAKE IT IMMEDIATELY TO A DEALERSHIP. IT SEEMED TO BE GLUED IN ORIGINALLY SO I BEGAN WITH MY LOCAL AUTO BODY SHOP WHO REFERRED ME TO A CONVERTIBLE TOP SPECIALIST. I DISCOVERED THE ENTIRE TOP HAS TO BE REPLACED WHICH IS VERY EXPENSIVE. IN RESEARCHING ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS ONLINE, I DISCOVERED THAT THIS DEFECT IS VERY COMMON IN THE 2005 MODEL AND CHRYSLER HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY IN SOME CASES. I REACHED OUT TO CHRYSLER, ONLY TO DISCOVER THAT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY ONLY APPLIES TO CERTAIN "WARM" STATES, NOT CALIFORNIA. I'M NOT SURE HOW THEY MADE THAT DETERMINATION OF WHICH STATES ARE WARM BUT NOT COVERING CALIFORNIA WHICH IS ONE OF THE WARMEST STATES MAKES NO SENSE TO ME. AFTER HEARING THE MANY HORROR STORIES CAUSING INJURY, I HAVE NOW RESOLVED TO KEEP MY CAR IN THE GARAGE UNTIL THE TOP CAN BE REPLACED.

I HAVE HAD MY CAR SINCE 2006 HOWEVER I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE BECAUSE THE IGNITION SWITCH DOESN'T TURN. I WOULD GET IT FIX OUT OF POCKET BUT I ONLY HAVE 33,000 ORIGINAL MILES ON IT, AND I DON'T THINK A CAR THAT HAS THIS LITTLE OF MILES SHOULD HAVE THIS KIND OF PROBLEM.

AS I WAS PULLING OUT OF MY PARKING SPACE AFTER WORK, THE REAR WINDOW OF MY CONVERTIBLE FELL INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT OF THE CAR. SCARED THE HELL OUT OF ME. FORTUNATELY I WASN'T GOING VERY QUICKLY OR I MIGHT HAVE LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR. GOT THE CAR HOME AND LOOKED THE ISSUE UP ON THE INTERNET AND WAS SURPRISED TO FIND THAT APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR, CHRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT IT, BUT WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM. THEIR ANSWER IS TO INSTALL A NEW ROOF AT $3,800. I CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE A PIECE OF GLASS COMING LOOSE LIKE THAT IN A MOVING VEHICLE CAN CAUSE A REAL PROBLEM.

THE CONVERTIBLE TOP WILL NOT OPEN WHEN THE RED LIGHT IS LIT ON THE REAR SPOILER BUTTON. IF YOU DRIVE 75 FEET OR SO THE RED LIGHT GOES OFF ON THE SPOILER BUTTON AND THEN THE TOP WILL OPEN. THE TOP ALSO WILL NOT CLOSE WHEN THIS LIGHT IS LIT UNLESS YOU DRIVE UNTIL IT GOES OUT.
