Complaints grouped by the component NHTSA recorded
Percentages are of component mentions. A single complaint can name more than one component, so these do not sum to the total complaint count.
No recalls in our database for this model year
That does not guarantee a specific vehicle is unaffected — recalls are issued against VINs, and new campaigns are announced regularly. Check a VIN on NHTSA.gov.
Reports submitted to NHTSA, shown in the owner's own words
THE REAR GLASS WINDOW FALLS OUT OF THE CONVERTIBLE ROOF AND INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. THIS IS CHRONIC WITH MOST CROSSFIRE ROADSTERS. EASILY INVESTIGATED AND VERIFIED. IT CAN HAPPEN WHILE MOVING OR STANDING STILL.
I HAVE A 2006 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE BACK WINDOW BECAME DETACHED FROM THE CANVAS. I WAS DRIVING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN JUST COMPLETELY FELL OUT.
I WAS DRIVING THE CROSSFIRE ONE EVENING AND IT SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET, I ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ENGINE SHUT OFF, THE EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR LIGHTS WENT OFF AS WELL. THE CAR ROLLED TO A STOP BLOCKING ALL THE TRAFFIC BEHIND ME. I TRIED TO RESTART THE ENGINE AND NOTHING HAPPENED, I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR JUMP STARTED, WHICH TOOK SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. I HAD NO PROBLEMS OR INDICATIONS THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG TILL THIS HAPPENED. MECHANICS HAVE PUT IN A NEW BATTERY, A CRANK POSITION SENSOR, AND A CAM POSITION SENSOR ON THE CAR. IT STARTED ONCE AFTER THAT, RAN FOR A FEW MINUTES THEN STOPPED. AFTER THAT IT WON'T START, EVEN WHEN BEING JUMPED. TRYING TO GET A ECM FROM THE DEALER. DEALER SAID THE COST IS $2,700.00, AND ORDERS ARE PENDING UNTIL JULY 1, 2019 BECAUSE OF SUPPLIER CHANGE. PLUS THERE IS A FLASHING CHARGE OF $147.00 TO RESET THIS ITEM FOR THE CAR. OTHER INTERNET USERS HAVE REPORTED HAVING THEIR CARS SUDDENLY STOP RUNNING WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAYS ALSO.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE REAR GLASS WINDOW SEPARATED FROM THE CONVERTIBLE ROOF TOP AND FELL INSIDE THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SZOTT M-59 DODGE LLC (2565 E. HIGHLAND RD. HIGHLAND CHARTER TWP, MI) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CONVERTIBLE ROOF TOP WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,000. *LN
CAR IS STATIONARY AND THE REAR WINDOW IS SEPARATING FROM THE CONVERTIBLE TOP
THE BACK WINDOW OF THE CROSSFIRE HAS SEPARATED FROM THE TOP. WE SAW THIS WHILE WE WERE WALKING AROUND IT IN GARAGE. I HAVE CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAY THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. WE BOUGHT THIS CAR IN 2008 AND IS KEPT IN A GARAGE. I ONLY HAVE 53000 MILES ON IT. I KNOW THEY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE WINDOWS FALLING OUT BECAUSE THEY A FIXING THEM IN 2005 MODELS BUT NOT THE 2006 MODELS. IS THERE ANY THING I CAN DO BECAUSE A REPLACEMENT TOP IS VERY EXPENSIVE. WE HAVE HAD THE WINDOW RESEALED TWICE AND IT WILL NOT HOLD.
THE VEHICLE'S REAR WINDOW IS SEPARATING FROM THE CONVERTIBLE TOP AND I AM AFRAID THAT IT WILL FLY OFF WHILE I'M DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND KILL SOMEONE BEHIND ME. I NOTICED THE ISSUE WHILE IT WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. CHRYSLER IS WELL AWARE OF THIS ISSUE WITH THE 2005 MODELS AND IS NOT COVERING ANY REPAIR OF ANY OTHER YEARS, YET HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WITH CARS FROM EACH YEAR HAVE COMPLAINTS ON MANY INTERNET FORUMS.
BACK WINDOW FELL OFF THE CONVERTIBLE TOP. I SEE THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE WITH 2005 (WHICH WAS REPAIRED/RECALL BY THE MFG). DEALER SAID IT WAS UP TO ME TO REPAIR, HAD TO SHIP THE TOP TO CALIFORNIA FOR A COMPLETE NEW TOP (~ $3K). I LIVE IN FLORIDA. DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW A BACK WINDOW FALLING OFF A MOVING CAR IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. ONLY ~ 22K MILES.
A bulletin sent by a manufacturer to its dealers. Not a recall, and repairs are not necessarily free.

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.

Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.
Complaint and recall counts across every year of this model
Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers. Older model years have had longer for reports to accumulate.
