Example complaints

Air bags: “Takata recall since receipt of takata airbag recall on 11 april 2016 (from FCA), my Crossfire has been parked. Fca customer assistance calls (with limited email contacts) in the 60 days has gotten me nowhere in regards to information about when my car will be fixed. Fca says (3 different 'special handling' csu agents) that I have to speak to them about my issues by phone only (latest 'higher-up' agent emailed me that their 'policy' is they must speak by phone, they will not deal with this by email). Some history, the local dealership was surprised by the recall (11 apr, 2016). …”

NHTSA complaint #10873714, filed 2016-06, 25,798 miles

Visibility (wipers, defrost, mirrors): “I went away on vacation for a week and left my 2008 Crossfire at home. Three days after leaving, my grandson calls and tells me that the rear windshield had detached from the convertible top and was laying inside the car. Thank god he caught it and covered it because that night they had 3 inches of rain overnight.”

NHTSA complaint #10897848, filed 2016-08, 24,000 miles

Other or unknown: “The headliner on the roof in my 2008 Chrysler Crossfire has detached completely except for the side and rear compartment upper edges and has sunken/fallen in front of me and my passengers field of view covering our eyes and resting on our heads plus blocking my drivers rear view mirror to the back window field of view as well. This is certainly a safety hazard and apparently caused from a poor quality application of headliner glue/decomposing fabric. This car is kept in pristine shape and covered almost continuously. …”
