What 2006 Chrysler Crossfire Roadster owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
This 2006 crossfire roadster is garage kept. The car was parked, when the glass separated on three sides from the cloth convertible top. Failure of the rear window glass appears to be due to lack of attachment, other than adhesive glue. The cloth convertible top is in good condition. This poses a significant safety hazard to the public, considering the vehicle is rated at speeds in excess of 150 MPH. It appears that chrysler has recalled some 2005 models which have the same type convertible tops and glass windows, made by karmann. As the safety issues continue I would hope that chrysler would recall all of these defective parts before the public is seriously injured or killed. I await an urgent response from chrysler to fix this hazardous problem me. Please contact me with your best efforts to make this right and keep everyone safe. 2-13-18 disappointed driver in east tennessee
Rear glass of the convertible top falling out, only being held by the window defroster wires. The adhesive in manufacturing gave way. The car is always garaged and just over 15k miles
Rear glass fell off top while driving. Completely separated. Only 55,000 miles on car and has been garage kept.
Rear glass in convertible top has separated from the fabric. Vehicle has less than 30,000 miles and is garage kept. Vehicle is not abused and top has only been retracted a total of approximately 15 times so it can not even be attributed to "normal wear and tear". This seems to me to be a manufacturing defect.
Back glass in convertible top falling out
Rear glass window falling out of 2006 chrysler crossfire convertable. The corners of the rear window started to separate from the roof material. After putting the top down and putting it back up, most of the top and corners of the rear window were loose from the roof fabric, I called the chrysler dealership to find out how it could be repaired. They told me that a new convertible top would be needed. It could not be repaired. Chrysler dealer quoted $1,650 for the top and $1,000 for labor
While driving my car with the top up my rear window became detached. I took the car into the dealership and they informed me that even though the 2005 crossfire roadster was covered for the same problem they were not covering the 2006. I contacted chrysler directly in july of 2014 they told me the same thing. I then had to make a temporary repair for $ 150 and in september 2014 had to replace the top for $ 2,457.62 at a shop recommended by the chrysler dealership. So I am out of pocket $ 2,607. I contacted chrysler again last week 5 23 2015 and they replied that since my vehicle was not built in 2005 they were still not covering it. This is a very dangerous problem experienced by numerous drivers. If this window were to come out while driving it could seriously injure or kill a pedestrian or other driver. Chrysler has covered the 2005 for this problem but not later models. You will see over 20 complaints on the safecar.gov site from other drivers with the same complaint same model and year. There are numerous complaints all over the web about the same problem. I guess chrysler and the government wants to wait until people are killed before acting.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 chrysler crossfire roadster. The contact stated that the rear windshield hung down inside the vehicle. The failure recurred continuously. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the adhesive was faulty and the roof needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 90,000. The VIN was unavailable.
I was driving on the freeway with my driver and passenger side windows down when I heard a loud clapping noise coming from the 3rd window (convertible window). The window glue has begun unsticking and the upholstery and glass were coming apart. If not for immediate corrective actions the window could have flown away and into other cars behind me.
