TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUTOFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE LOCAL DEALER HAYES CHRYSLER JEEP LOCATED AT 3115 FRONTAGE RD, GAINESVILLE, GA 30504 WHO REPLACED THE BATTERY.

REAR WINDOW IN CONVERTIBLE TOP FELL OUT WHILE IN DRIVEWAY 3 DAYS AGO

ON JULY 10 WHEN I LEFT THE OFFICE, I WAS DRIVING THE CAR TO GO HOME IN THE AFTERNOON AND I NOTICED A STRANGE NOISE COMING FROM THE BACK SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. IN THE RED TRAFFIC LIGHT STOP I INSPECTED THE REAR GLASS AND I REALIZED IT IS DETACHED ALMOST 70%, MAINLY THE BOTTOM PORTION, JUST THE UPPER SIDE WAS ATTACHED. I DROVE CAREFULLY ABOUT 5 MILES TO GET HOME AND I WAS WORRIED BECAUSE THE GLASS CAN FALL OFF FROM THE CAR AND HAVE AN INCIDENT WHILE DRIVING IN THE RUSH HOUR IN THE AVENUE I ALWAYS TAKE (45 MILES/HR). I CANNOT DRIVE THE CAR IN THIS CONDITION. I INVESTIGATED AND I SEE SIMILAR REPORTS ABOUT THIS REAR GLASS COMING OFF.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V081000 (AIR BAGS). DESERT 215 SUPERSTORE (8030 RAFAEL RIVERA WAY, LAS VEGAS, NV 89118) AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS AND STATED THAT THE TOOLS NEEDED TO INSTALL THE REPLACEMENT PART WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

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. THERE HAVE BEEN NO EXTERNAL FORCES, MISTREATMENT, NOR CHEMICAL APPLICATIONS CAUSING THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM. IT OCCURRED WHILE IT WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY, NOT ON THE PUBLIC STREET DURING A TWO-WEEK PERIOD OF NON-USE. I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE IT AT THIS TIME.

REAR WINDOW BECAME DETACHED FROM CONVERTIBLE TOP, WHICH MEANT THE CAR COULD NOT BE SAFELY DRIVEN. ACCORDING TO DEALER, UNABLE TO REATTACH WINDOW - ENTIRE TOP HAD TO BE REPLACED. CONVERTIBLE TOP WAS REPLACED SO CAR COULD BE DRIVEN SAFELY. THERE WERE ONLY 960 OF THESE CARS MANUFACTURED IN 2008, SO THE PERCENTAGE OF CARS WITH THIS ISSUE MIGHT BE HIGHER THAN WOULD FIRST BE APPARENT.

WHILE VEHICLE WAS AT THE DEALER FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE I WAS TOLD THE REAR WINDOW OF MY CONVERTIBLE FELL OUT AND WAS LAYING ON THE REAR SHELF. WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING CHRYSLER COULD DO ABOUT THIS. SEEMS THIS IS QUITE COMMON WITH THE TOPS. A RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR THE 2005 MODELS BUT SEEMS THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST. WAS ALSO TOLD TO HAVE THE TOP REPLACED ($2500) AND KEEP THE RECEIPT IF THERE IS A RECALL I WOULD BE REIMBURSED. THERE HAVE BEEN HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS. HOW MANY DOES IT TAKE?

WE OWN AN 2008 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLE WITH 8500 MILES. THE REAR WINDOW CAME COMPLETELY LOOSE. I HAVE TALKED TO CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY HAVE REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS TOP. THE CROSSFIRE HAS ALWAYS BEEN GARAGED. IT DOES NOT STAY OUTSIDE. HAYS CHRYSLER WILL NOT HELP EITHER. I SPOKE TO A LOCAL CONVERTIBLE SHOP AND WAS TOLD THE WINDOW COULD NOT BE REPAIRED. I OWN AN 05 CROSSFIRE THAT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND CHRYSLER REPLACED THE TOP. IT MAKES NO SENSE ONE WOULD BE REPAIRED AND THE OTHER REJECTED. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH MANY OTHERS. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM FOR ME AND SEE WHAT YOU CAN DO!!
