NHTSA has not yet made a decision that we know of (8-9-15). Chrysler's response can be read on safercar.gov, (2005 Chrysler Crossfire Roadster) click on other documents & scroll down to bottom. They officially blame heat & humidity; They state it is not an unreasonable risk to safety & that the glass has not & cannot come out, becoming a projectile, even saying that the window defroster wires would prevent this!?!
WHAT ABOUT THE STRUCTURAL FAILURE OF THE ROOF/WINDOW TO PROVIDE WEATHER PROTECTION,( UNDER ALL CONDITIONS, EVEN DRIVING CROSS COUNTRY, MILES & MILES AWAY FROM SHELTER/REPAIR), TO ALL OF THE SENSITIVE ELECTRICAL & HYDRAULIC COMPONENTS THROUGHOUT THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE??? TO IGNORE THIS SAFETY ASPECT, WHETHER THE IMMEDIATE RISK, OR IT'S POTENTIAL IS CONTRARY TO NHTSA's OWN LANGUAGE, AND IS AN UNACCEPTABLE OVERSIGHT ON CHRYSLER'S PART.


Chrysler describes their 2011 Warranty as "regional" and simply a "customer satisfaction" measure!?
HOW DOES ONE DEFINE "REGIONAL" USING STATE BORDERS, SKIPPING STATES RIGHT NEXT TO "THOSE" STATES, AND RESTRICTING THE WARRANTY STRICTLY BY VIN #, NO MATTER WHERE OR WHEN THE CAR WAS MOVED TO AN UNCOVERED STATE??? THEIR contentions are PREPOSTEROUS AND ABSURD NONSENSE, DESIGNED TO SHIFT THE FOCUS AWAY FROM THE REALITY OF THE DEFECT AND NATIONWIDE SCOPE OF THIS COMMON FAILURE. THEIR WARRANTY BECAME VIN # ELIGIBLE, NOT "REGIONAL" AT ALL, AND THEY SUBSEQUENTLY CHOSE WHO ELSE TO HELP, AT THEIR OWN DISCRETION & FOR HOW MUCH $, (if any).


We firmly believe that NHTSA should require Chrysler to offer reimbursement to any owner who can document personal expense paid within the 10 year & mileage time limit, for actual top replacement cost, JUST as they do/did for their selected VIN # owners in October/2011. Note; their Claim Form for Reimbursement, which was included in their Letter to those owners, should be made available to all, upon request. OEM part nor dealer labor is/was not required.
