What owners wrote
A few complaints as filed, shortened and with personal details removed. The first ones are among the most serious reports for this model year; the rest are typical.
I was driving down highway and smell fumes after about 1 mile pulled over and opened my hood and the car burst into flames from under hood called 911 and fire department came and put out fire and car was a total loss.
I received a laceration on my left hand index finger while grasping the driver side chrome covered door handle. It appears as though the metallic chrome covering has a seam on the inside of the handle which becomes razor sharp. I have used a layer of clear packing tape over the seam to keep from repeating this incident and will do the passenger side as a preemptive measure.
This was a auto accident involving a chrysler crossfire. The cas was hit from behind and forced into a bridge concret railing on the drivers side the passenage airbag deployed but the drivers did not.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 chrysler crossfire roadster. The contact stated that the rear windshield hung down inside the vehicle. The failure recurred continuously. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the adhesive was faulty and the roof needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 90,000. The VIN was unavailable.
While driving my car with the top up my rear window became detached. I took the car into the dealership and they informed me that even though the 2005 crossfire roadster was covered for the same problem they were not covering the 2006. I contacted chrysler directly in july of 2014 they told me the same thing. I then had to make a temporary repair for $ 150 and in september 2014 had to replace the top for $ 2,457.62 at a shop recommended by the chrysler dealership. So I am out of pocket $ 2,607.
