Unknown or Other · at 45,000 miles · reported Jun 19, 2019

The headliner on the roof in my 2008 chrysler crossfire has detached completely except for the side and rear compartment upper edges and has sunken/fallen in front of me and my passengers field of view covering our eyes and resting on our heads plus blocking my drivers rear view mirror to the back window field of view as well. This is certainly a safety hazard and apparently caused from a poor quality application of headliner glue/decomposing fabric. This car is kept in pristine shape and covered almost continuously. There have been no external forces, mistreatment, nor chemical applications…

Visibility/Wiper · at 50,000 miles · reported Jul 25, 2017

While vehicle was at the dealer for routine maintenance I was told the rear window of my convertible fell out and was laying on the rear shelf. Was told there was nothing chrysler could do about this. Seems this is quite common with the tops. A recall was issued for the 2005 models but seems the problem still exist. Was also told to have the top replaced ($2500) and keep the receipt if there is a recall I would be reimbursed. There have been hundreds of complaints about this. How many does it take?

Air Bags · at 53,000 miles · reported Jan 5, 2017

Takata recall - 16v-081 driver airbag light is on. Unable to register the vehicle due to inability to fix it since the chrysler has basically abandoned this car. There is no expectation of the recall parts being made available. This car is now a loss to me since no one wants to risk driving it and harming themselves.
