Wheels have TPMS tire safety monitoring system in them. Replaced the sensors in all tires and went to dealer to reset them, dealer charged $100 and said I had a bad sensor, wanted extra $80 to replace new sensor. I took it to tire dealer and they said sensors were working, but could not program the TPMS. Emailed schroeder with no replies about valve safely problem. No one seems to know how to reset a TPMS safety issue, so I do not have a flat tire accident. I thought that safety comes first, without needing a loan to fix issue.

Defect investigations
Convertible Top Back Glass Separation
On June 14, 2014, a consumer petitioned the federal safety agency to open a defect investigation into separation of convertible top back glass in model year 2005 Crossfire Roadster vehicles.In assessing the petitioner's request, the federal safety agency reviewed information from the petitioner, information from Fiat Chrysler Automobiles US, LLC, relevant reports in the federal safety agency complaint database received from June 23, 2008 through July 8, 2015, and interviews with complainants.the federal safety agency's review indicates that separation of the back glass occurs gradually and the glass remains intact and inside the top after the failure. Considering agency priorities and agency resources, and the likelihood that further investigation would not result in a defect finding, the federal safety agency has concluded that further investigation of petitioner's concerns is not warranted.The agency has denied the petition.The official petition denial, as published in the Federal Register, is available in the document file for this petition.The ODI reports cited above can be viewed at http://WWW-Odi.the federal safety agency.dot.gov/owners/searchsafetyissues under the following ID numbers:Model Year 2005: 10232068, 10244032, 10265936, 10272683, 10274198, 10275338, 10280257, 10285544, 10286600, 10290809, 10292215, 10295419, 10297744, 10304575, 10317910, 10318467, 10327077, 10327241, 10327522, 10330552, 10330824, 10331549, 10331660, 10332687, 10335152, 10335647, 10335784, 10335894, 10336569, 10339952, 10340666, 10341739, 10341764, 10341994, 10342121, 10344548, 10346187, 10346634, 10348093, 10348172, 10349739, 10351200, 10354191, 10355983, 10357042, 10358728, 10364408, 10366780, 10392381, 10392484, 10392512, 10395335, 10397367, 10397469, 10400172, 10399411, 10400000, 10400014, 10401397, 10405983, 10407305, 10407381, 10407446, 10408774, 10409108, 10410089, 10411393, 10410982, 10412397, 10413857, 10416839, 10417044, 10421018, 10422255, 10422391, 10423399, 10422677, 10425474, 10426456, 10426457, 10426482, 10426726, 10426835, 10426955, 10427552, 10427650, 10429300, 10430266, 10430370, 10433542, 10435621, 10437683, 10438574, 10443341, 10453539, 10454455, 10454522, 10458240, 10459366, 10459592, 10460944, 10461484, 10462854, 10463486, 10464039, 10464046, 10464438, 10464712, 10465793, 10466738, 10466859, 10466943, 10467946, 10468273, 10468478, 10469925, 10472038, 10475880, 10478204, 10479632, 10481176, 10482219, 10482538, 10485784, 10494614, 10494838, 10500114, 10505458, 10508731, 10509485, 10510253, 10512594, 10513706, 10566443, 10515305, 10520531, 10520677, 10521494, 10521505, 10523127, 10524704, 10524980, 10525342, 10525645, 10525900, 10531903, 10533246, 10533383, 10536563, 10536583, 10536782, 10537291, 10538413, 10542030, 10542479, 10542814, 10542837, 10544853, 10546359, 10546526, 10557174, 10561494, 10563449, 10575001, 10579567, 10582881, 10584775, 10592131, 10593534, 10595534, 10606523, 10609043, 10609817, 10609848, 10610188, 10617272, 10618234, 10619296, 10620991, 10621858, 10628119, 10630892, 10638716, 10639126, 10639441, 10654185, 10659508, 10683893, 10692972, 10712417, 10712420, 10714226, 10716860, 10721106, 10721516, 10722596, 10722634, 10722916, 10724901, 10726429, 10726714, 10726989, 10730311, 10730525, 10730598, 10731005, 10731466, 10731539, 10731085, 10732585, 10732661Other Model Years: 10336469, 10343431, 10413664, 10420136, 10432247, 10432571, 10444772, 10459104, 10460799, 10461493, 10468185, 10468432, 10468785, 10473168, 10475908, 10479916, 10508633, 10511410, 10512807, 10513128, 10522964, 10523076, 10524890, 10525892, 10532177, 10534812, 10541904, 10541906, 10565470, 10595975, 10597246, 10604781, 10606865, 10608533, 10610546, 10610811, 10611167, 10614809, 10616375, 10

What 2005 Chrysler Crossfire Roadster owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Tl* the contact owned a 2005 chrysler crossfire roadster. While driving 55 MPH, the vehicle accelerated without warning and crashed into another vehicle. A police report was filed and there were no injuries. The vehicle was towed to the dealer and deemed a total loss. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and opened claim number: 312-27518. The VIN was unknown. The failure mileage was 97,000. Updated 06/29/17
Airbag light and therefore failure unless fixed due to faulty clock spring and steering angle sensor with only 67144 miles on car. The clock spring was found defective and recalled on other chrysler models - should be extended to include this model.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 chrysler crossfire roadster. When the contact placed the key in the ignition, the ignition switch would not turn and the check engine warning indicator illuminated.the vehicle was taken to a dealer, but was not able to be diagnosed. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.
Rear window of convertible top came loose when car was moved from driveway back into the garage.
Back window fell out while at highway speeds. The only thing that kept it from coming completely loose was the rear window defrost wires.
Intermittent engine start failure relay replaced good for 30 days then intermittent engine start failure standing still and sometimes in motion city street. Replaced relay $567.00
During a heavy summer rain/windstorm the rear window became mostly detached and fell inward into the car while driving on an interstate.
I purchased this car this year from a chrysler executive who has owned it for years. She told me that while driving it the rear glass window fell out. This was her daily driver so she had it re glued as fast as she could so she would have a car to get to work.she did not know of the tsb on this. Tsb-23=035-11 called x-31/adhesion. I bought the car this year and the window is loose on the edges and I am afraid it will fall out and cause an accident. I took it to a dealer and they do not know what to do. They said because it was already fixed it would probably not be covered. Is this true? I bought this car to be a daily driver, not a sunny day driver.
During a severe rainstorm the rear window glass detached from the convertible top allowing severe flooding of the interior of the vehicle causing various electrical failures to occur. This sudden and unexpected event caused an emergency stop in traffic that could have resulted in an accident. The residual damage from this event affects rear window visibility and electrical failures that involve the operation of the locking system, the anti fog rear window capability and other electrical systems in the rear part of the vehicle which I cannot access because of the inoperative top and trunk.
