2006 Chrysler Crossfire Roadster Problems

Owner-reported complaints filed with NHTSA, grouped by component

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

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 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 VEHICLE IS NOT ABUSED AND TOP HAS ONLY BEEN RETRACTED A TOTAL OF APPROXIMATELY 15 TIMES SO IT CAN NOT EVEN BE ATTRIBUTED TO "NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR".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.
