Example complaints
Body and structure: “I purchased this car new in 2007 from a Chrysler dealer. Having heard after I purchased it, that there were concerns about the installation of the rear window coming loose. Armed with that knowledge, I purposely did not stress the top or window area, in fact, never had the top down as that would stress the taughtness of the window. Now, 2014 the window is coming loose. …”
NHTSA complaint #10611167, filed 2014-07, 69,000 milesVisibility (wipers, defrost, mirrors): “Back window fell off the convertible top. I see this is the same issue with 2005 (which was repaired/recall by the mfg). Dealer said it was up to me to repair, had to ship the top to california for a complete new top (~ $3k). I live in florida. Don't understand how a back window falling off a moving car is not a safety issue. Only ~ 22k miles.”
NHTSA complaint #10959573, filed 2017-03, 22,000 milesOther or unknown: “I own a 2006 Chrysler Crossfire. My back window is falling out and it seems that Chrysler does not want to take ownership of the faulty adhesive and faulty workmanship of the convertible top. I cannot drive my car because the glass will come out and result in hitting another vehicle, pedestrian or other object. This problem has left thousands of Crossfire owners in a bad situation. Chrysler did issue a recall on the 2005's under TSB 23-035-11reva but not for any other model years. …”
NHTSA complaint #10894925, filed 2016-08, 82,000 milesExterior lighting: “I was driving the Crossfire one evening and it shut off in the middle of the street, I almost got rear ended. All of a sudden the engine shut off, the exterior and interior lights went off as well. The car rolled to a stop blocking all the traffic behind me. I tried to restart the engine and nothing happened, I had to have the car jump started, which took several attempts. I had no problems or indications that anything was wrong till this happened. Mechanics have put in a new battery, a crank position sensor, and a cam position sensor on the car. …”
