CHRYSLER INDICATES EVEN THOUGH I DO NOT OWN IT VERY LONG AND HAVE LOW MILEAGE THEY CANNOT HELP WITH THIS THAT THE ENTIRE TOP MUST BE REPLACED AT A COST OF APPROX. $3000.00.

THE REAR WINDOW IS GLASS AND THE GLUE BOND TO THE CONVERTIBLE TOP FAILS. I CALLED CHRYSLER IN AUGUST OF 2016 WHEN OUR WINDOW FELL LOOSE AND I LEARNED OF AN EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT WAS NEVER OFFERED TO US. THEY TOLD ME THEY HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE CAR BUT MY VIN DID NOT QUALIFY AND IT WAS ONLY FOR 10 YEARS. WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ON 2/6/2005 IN PLANO TEXAS. FROM ALL THE RESEARCH I'VE DONE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY SHOULD HAVE BEEN FOR ALL CARS SOLD IN TEXAS. WE NEVER RECEIVED NOTICE. AS I CONTINUE TO RESEARCH, THIS PROBLEM IS FAR GREATER THAN CARS SOLD IN A FEW SOUTHERN STATES AND CHRYSLER SHOULD BE COVERING OUR REPAIR. I'VE ATTEMPTED TO RESOLVE THIS WITH CHRYSLER MULTIPLE TIMES IN THE PAST 2 YEARS WITH NO SUCCESS.
REAR CONVERTIBLE WINDOW BECAME DETACHED FROM THE TOP WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED OUTSIDE ON A HOT DAY
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLE. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE ELECTRONIC CONVERTIBLE TOP FELL DOWN ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ELECTRONIC CONVERTIBLE TOP CONTINUED TO FALL DOWN BETWEEN 2005 AND 2018. CROWN CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM FIAT (2120 CHAPMAN ROAD, CHATTANOOGA, TENNESSEE 37421, (888)454-8402) REPLACED THE ELECTRONIC CONVERTIBLE TOP IN 2005. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS ATTRIBUTED TO WATER INTRUSION INTO THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE RECURRED CONTINUOUSLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 18,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

Transmission Kit with Torque Converter 1. All Promaster (VF) 3.6L/62TE equipped vehicles. If the transmission bracket to the transmission case fasteners are removed during servicing, the fasteners (Part Number 06511385A$) are one-time usage. Vehicles built prior to 10/23/2015 requires Service Kit PN 68461214AA; includes Transmission Isolator PN 68264483AA, and Adaptation Bracket 68264479AA and Fastener Service Kit PN 68329056AA Vehicles built after on or after 10/23/2015 will require only the Fastener Service Kit PN 68329056AA. 2. All 3.6L/62TE equipped vehicles. If the vehicle you are repairing has a crack in the flex plate or failed pump bushing inspect and confirm that both (2) dowel pins are present in the engine block, which align the transmission center line to the crank shaft centerline and visually inspect the dowel alignment holes in the transmission case. If the holes are damaged or elongated the transmission should be replaced to prevent further damage to the transmission/flexplate or pump bushing due to the inability to properly align the engine to the transmission during the repair. 3. All 62TE equipped vehicles. If pump bushing is scored or damaged and the dowel pin alignment holes are ok, replace the pump assembly as opposed to complete transmission. 4. All 62TE equipped vehicles. If vehicle is jerking/slipping with MIL code(s) P0740 or P2764, check TCC Solenoid operation. If TCC Solenoid is ok, the codes are indicative of a torque converter failure. Replace the torque converter.
