In owners' own words
As I was driving across a bridge on the inter coastal waterway in melbourne florida, the top piece of the metal windshield molding was blown loose from the vehicle and slammed against the top. If the top had been down, passengers could have possible been seriously injured. Damage to other vehicles could have occurred and/or injury to pedestrians was possible. I was not able to locate the metal molding. Structure · reported at 33,500 miles
Rear window adhesive failure in convertible top. Chrysler has issued a technical service bullitin # x31 which covers cost of repairs but only for cars that were delivered to certain southern states but, all 05 crossfires were built in the same plant in belgium and should be covered. Failure of any window is not considered normal wear and tear. Covering only some vehicles is unfair business practice. Structure · reported at 26,084 miles
Rear window came loose from convertible top. Chrysler is only repairing cars that were delivered to southern states when new. My mom bought this car in pa and drove it to fla when she retired...Car has been there since 2008 or 2009. Doesn't seem fair to me...Only 27,893 miles!
