DRIVIGN DOWN THE FREEWAY MY REAR PASSENGER SIDE STATIONARY WINDOW (WEDGE WINDOW) WAS SUCKED OFF THE CAR. UPON INSPECTION IT APPEARS THIS WINDOW WAS ORIGINALLY GLUE IN. WHILE READING OF THIS PROBLEM ONLINE FROM OTHER OWNERS I HAVE NOTICED A TREND IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN A LOT WITH THIS PARTICULAR WINDOW ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FOR THE CAR. WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED. I WAS TRAVELING DOWN THE FREEWAY IN MOVING TRAFFIC BEING FOLLOWED BY CARS. THIS COULD HAVE CREATED A SEVER PROBLEM. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS HIT BY THE FLYING WINDOW. *TR

THE SPEEDODOMETER DROPPED TO ZERO. COMES AND GOES AND THE DEALER CAN NOT GET A READING BECAUSE IT DOES NOT DO IT WHEN THEY CHECK IT. NEXT THE AC KICKS IN AND OUT OF COOL AIR. NEXT WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE CAR DIES. I HAD TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND MANUALLY TURN BECAUSE IT DIED. I NEARLY HIT A CEMENT WALL. NOW THE DEALER SAYS HE CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. *JB

STRESS CRACK IN WINDSHIELD. BEGANS BELOW THE SEAL, MIDDLE OF WINDSHIELD. CHRYSLER STATES THAT AT 35,000 MILES MY CAR IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. SERVICE MEN TOOK PICTURES AND SAID I MIGHT GET A MERIT ON WARRANTY. GLASS IS ONLY COVERED FOR 12,00 MILES. THOUGH THE SERVICE MEN DID SAY THAT IT WAS INDEED A STRESS CRACK, NO SIGNS OF IMPACT. I KNOW NOTHING HAS HIT MY WINDSHIELD, OR I WOULD HAVE TAKEN THIS UP WITH CSAA. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. CHRYSLER HAD TO RECALL 2006 QUARTER PANELS DUE TO THIS AS WELL. I HAVE A 2006 LIMITED. *TR
