1 Side/rear Glass problem

Failure Date: 01/20/2011

With no warning and no apparent cause, the rear driver side quarter window detached from the car while driving on the interstate. Since I was unaware of what exactly happened at the time (I just heard a noise and felt some wind) I did not stop and am unaware of what if any property damage may have occurred to other cars as a result. Closer examination shows that the glass separated from the bolts that held it to the car. It looks like there is a recall for this problem on later Pt Cruiser models (07v149000), but that does not apply to 2002 models.

2 Side/rear Glass problem

Failure Date: 12/05/2008

Rear quarter glass on driver side detached while driving on highway. Nothing led to this problem.

Failure Date: 06/16/2007

The contact owns a 2002 Chrysler Pt Cruiser. While driving 55 mph, the rear driver side quarter glass separated from the vehicle. The dealer has not inspected the vehicle. The manufacturer and dealer stated that the VIN is not included in recall # 07v149000 (visibility:glass, side/rear). The current and failure mileages were 50,000.
