Safety hazard. Rear glass window becomes unglued and falls out while driving. Could fly onto road and shatter or hit another car. 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. It IS a known defect and very dangerous.

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.

While driving my car,to the coast on the highway, the back window started making loud flopping noise, it scared me to death, I didn't know what was going on, I pulled over and noticed that the back window had separated from the convertible top and was just hanging at the top. It scared me to death. I didn't know what to do, so I took the down down , because I thought for sure I would loose the whole window if I continued with the top up.
