“Rear window fell out completely in the middle of a thunderstorm with my wife driving. The window happened to fall inside the vehicle but it could have caused an accident if it had fallen outside the car. She was lucky that the window did not fall on her and we only got wet.”
NHTSA complaint #10639441, filed 2014-09, 71,000 miles“My 2005 Chrysler Crossfire Roadster the rear window is falling out of the top, I took it to daytona dodge dealer and they told me that the top could not be fixed it had to be replaced and it was a 2800.00 repair. The window is coming unglued from the top. I have searched on the internet and this seems to be a ongoing problem there are a lot of people having the same problem.”
NHTSA complaint #10286600, filed 2009-10, 54,000 miles“The back window separated from the top. My understanding is that Chrysler extended the warranty for this problem to 10 years 100000 miles but not on all of them. My car is not covered. Makes no sense that some are and some are not.”
NHTSA complaint #10619296, filed 2014-08, 47,238 miles“The rear glass window is coming loose and separating/delaminating from the fabric convertible top. It seems the glue/bond is failing and I am very concerned that the window will completely become detached and cause an accident while driving. I believe this problem is a manufacturing defect and needs to be addressed by Chrysler as a recall. This problem seems to be related to hot/humid weather conditions causing the delamination failure.”
NHTSA complaint #10426835, filed 2011-09, 25,422 miles“The rear glass window in my Crossfire Roadster just fell out. The vehicle is garaged kept, has 27k miles, and top looks like new. After further research on the web this turns out to be a common problem for this vehicle and I would say a factory defect. Mine did not occur while driving down the road but I can see this easily happening if it fell out while driving down the road with the windows down. The glass could go straight out the back.”
