I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AND MY DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW STARTED GOING UP & DOWN. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP THEY RAN A DIAGNOSTIC & SAID IT WAS THE DOOR MODULE & SWITCH THEY BOTH GOT REPLACED & I STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM PLUS IF CONNECTED IT KILLS THE BATTERY.

STRANGE NOISE COMING FROM ENGINE , RESULTING IN POWER FAILURE. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO A GAS STATION AND CALL AAA. AAA GAVE MY BATTERY A JUMP BUT THEY TOLD ME THAT THE ALTERNATOR IS DYING AND UNABLE TO RECHARGE BATTERY. LOOKS LIKE THERE'S A RECALL FOR 3.6L ENGINE FOR ALTERNATORS, BUT I HAVE A R/T V8 AND I'M HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. THIS SHOULD ALSO BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AS THIS IS DANGEROUS AND SOUNDS LIKE THE EXACT SAME ISSUE .

DODGE CHALLENGER RT ALTERNATOR DRAINED BATTERY UNTIL THE CAR SHUT DOWN WHILE I WAS IN MOTION. LOST ALL POWER BRAKES AND POWER STEERING.

MY TANK HAS TO BE LEAKING BECAUSE I REMOVED MY BACK SEAT AND FOUND GAS. RECENTLY TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE OF A CHL AND THE GAS SMELL AND THEY CLAIM THEY COULD NOT FIND THE LOCATION OF THE GAS SMELL. THEY TOLD ME I MAY NEED TO REPLACE THE CANISTER IN WHICH THEY WOULD GLADLY DO FOR $$$$. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND THE GAS WAS UNDER MY SEAT. I'M AFRAID FOR MY WIFE AND SON .

I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE AND WAS WAITING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN AT THE INTERSECTION. MY BATTERY APPEARED TO BE LOSING POWER AND I LOST MY POWER STEERING. I BELIEVE THE ALTERNATOR WENT BAD WHICH LED TO THE BATTERY DYING WHILE DRIVING, CAUSING ME TO LOSE POWER. THIS WAS DANGEROUS AS I COULD HAVE LOST POWER AND MAY HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I WILL BE TAKING IT TO A MECHANIC TO GET THE ALTERNATOR REPLACED. I SEE DODGE HAS SOME RECALLS ON ALTERNATORS BUT NOT SURE IF IT APPLIES TO MY VEHICLE

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR IT WOULD LOSE POWER. I COULD NOT ACCELERATE. I CAN NOT ALWAYS RESTART IT RIGHT AWAY. IT GOT TO THE POINT I WAS UNABLE TO RESTART IT AND IT HAD TO BE TOWED

AIR BAG LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME ON AND OFF, SIGNALING MY AIR BAGS ARE NOT WORKING WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON. I FOUND ONLINE THAT CHRYSLER RECALLED 2011-2013 DODGE CHALLENGERS IN 2013 FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE, HOWEVER WHEN I BROUGHT MY CAR TO A DODGE DEALER, THEY SAY MY VIN IS NOT IN THE SYSTEM FOR A RECALL. BECAUSE IT'S NOT IN THE SYSTEM AS A RECALL, I AM TO PAY OUT OF POCKET? THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT COULD CAUSE A FATALITY IF I AM IN A WRECK WHILE THE LIGHT IS ON. CHRYSLER SHOULD HONOR THEIR CONSUMERS' SAFETY AND HANDLE THIS BEFORE SOMETHING HAPPENS. I FOUND ON FORUMS THAT MANY CHALLENGER OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCE. SEE LINK BELOW TO RECALL INFO. HTTP://WWW.LEMONAUTO.COM/COMPLAINTS/DAIMLER_CHRYSLER/DODGE_CHALLENGER.HTM. *TR

MY WINDOW CONSTANTLY GOES UP AND DOWN 1/8TH INCH WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF. I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE AND FOUND 80 2011 CHALLENGERS RECALLED FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM, I BELIEVE THEY SHOULD ALL BE UNDER RECALL. THE SMART GLASS OPERATION IS FAULTY. EVERY 7 SECONDS MY WINDOW MOVES 1/8TH OF AN INCH UP OR DOWN. THIS DRAINS MY BATTERY AND MAKES MY CAR DIE. CUSTOMER SATISFACTION NOTIFICATION M24 SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE ALL 2011 CHALLENGERS WITH THE SMART GLASS. *TR

MY ALTERNATOR IS IN RECALL. IT IS SAID TO POWER DOWN WITHOUT ANY WARNING OR NOTICE, AND IT POWERED DOWN ON ME IN JANUARY. IT WAS TOWED TO CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP OF PARAMUS. THEY DID NOT YET HAVE THE RECALL ALTERNATOR, SO THEY WERE AUTHORIZED TO GIVE ME A NEW ONE. THIS HOWEVER DOES NOT SATISFY THE RECALL, AND I WAS TOLD TO COME BACK WHEN THE RECALL PART IS AVAILABLE. I CAME BACK LAST WEEK, AND THEY DID NOT PERFORM THE RECALL. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE PART PUT INTO THE CAR IN JANUARY IS "JUST AS GOOD" AND "SATISFIES THE RECALL". I WAS TOLD THE SAME THING BY THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE MANAGER, PARTS SUPERVISOR AND ULTIMATELY THEIR GENERAL MANAGER, DEAN REDMOND. EVENTUALLY, CHRYSLER CORPORATE FINALLY CONFIRMED THAT THIS IS NOT THE CASE, AND THE PART IN MY CAR IN FACT IS NOT AT ALL SAFE. FIVE SEPARATE "EXPERTS" AT THIS DEALERSHIP ERRONEOUSLY TOLD ME THAT MY CAR IS SAFE, AND LEFT ME WITH A POTENTIALLY DEADLY PART IN MY CAR. THE GENERAL MANAGER, DEAN REDMOND, WROTE BACK TO ME THAT THE PART IN MY CAR IS "CORRECT" AND THEN IGNORED MY SUBSEQUENT MESSAGES. I WOULD LIKE SOMEBODY TO HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE, BECAUSE THIS IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS AND UNACCEPTABLE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING HOME ON 4/17/15 IN MY 2011 DODGE CHALLENGER WHEN ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH STARTED FLASHING, THE RADIO WAS GOING ON AND OFF, THE LIGHTS WENT DIM, BUT THE SCARIEST THING WAS THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST ALL POWER, IT WAS STILL RUNNING BUT IT ACTED LIKE IT WAS ON 2 CYLINDERS, ALMOST GOT RAMMED BY THE CAR BEHIND ME!! HAD CAR TOWED TO DEALER, WILL CALL THEM TOMORROW.THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS FLAW IN THE SYSTEM AND WILL RESULT IN FUTURE LOSS OF LIFE IF NOT CORRECTED!!!! *TR

I HAVE 2 RECALLS PENDING ON MY DODGE CHALLENGER, ONE FOR FRONT AIRBAGS FAILING AND ONE FOR THE ALTERNATOR DIODES POSSIBLY CAUSING FIRE. DODGE WANTS TO TAKE MY CAR FOR 2 DAYS BUT I HAVE NO OTHER VEHICLE. I ASKED HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO GET HOME, THEY SAID A BUS OR TAXI. I AM NOT TAKING A TAXI AN HOUR RIDE TO GET HOME, THEN TO AND FROM WORK BECAUSE THEY WANT TO RECALL MY CAR, SO I ASKED FOR A LOANER AND WAS TOLD NO. I KEEP CALLING THEIR RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER, AND THEY TELL ME THAT THEIR SYSTEM IS DOWN AND TO CALL BACK AT ANOTHER TIME. HOW IS THEIR SYSTEM ALWAYS DOWN? WHY DO I HAVE TO SPEND MONEY OUT OF POCKET ON A TEMPORARY VEHICLE SO THEY CAN FIX THEIR OWN RECALL? I CAN'T AFFORD TO RENT A CAR OR USE A TAXI (BUSSES DON'T RUN THROUGH MY AREA). SO I TAKE OFF OF WORK AND POSSIBLY GET FIRED, OR CONTINUE TO DRIVE A DEFECTIVE VEHICLE AND POSSIBLY DIE? *TR

IN OCTOBER I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER FROM CHRYSLER STATING A POSSIBLE DIODE FAILURE IN ALTERNATOR.THE LETTER ALSO STATES IF REPAIRS WERE MADE TO SUBMIT PAPERWORK FOR REIMBURSEMENT.I SUBMITTED PAPERWORK BUT WAS DECLINED REIMBURSEMENT. THE CUSTOMER CARE PERSON( [XXX]) COULD NOT GIVE ME A REASON WHY AND INSTRUCTED ME TO ASK LOCAL DEALER WHY I WAS DECLINED. I WENT TO HUNTER DODGE AND SPOKE TO A SERVICE WRITER([XXX]). HE SAYS IT SHOULD QUALIFY. HE TRIED TO FIND OUT WHY I WAS DECLINED BUT COULD NOT GET AN ANSWER EITHER.THE CUST.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHALLENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE BATTERY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED A COUPLE OF WEEKS AFTER THE REPAIR.

IN EARLY OCTOBER 2014 I STARTED SMELLING GAS FUMES INSIDE MY VEHICLE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT MY FUEL TANK HAD A FACTORY DEFECT WHERE THE FUEL PUMP LOCKING TABS WERE MOLDED INTO THE TANK. THE LEAK WAS AROUND THE SEAM WHERE ATTACHED. THIS IS DIRECTLY UNDER THE REAR PASSENGER SEAT ON TOP OF THE FUEL TANK WHERE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN IMPOSSIBLE TO HAVE BEEN HIT BY ANYTHING. THE TANK WAS LEAKING FUEL ON TO THE EXHAUST SYSTEM AT THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. WE WERE VERY LUCKY THAT THERE WAS NO FIRE. I APPROACHED DODGE ON MORE THAN 4 OCCASIONS TO RECOVER THE COST OF REPAIRS WHICH WERE $1,736.05. I HAVE BEEN REFUSED EACH TIME. THEY ARE AWARE THAT THE TANK IS DEFECTIVE AS I HAVE SENT DOCUMENTATION AND PICTURES TO SHOW THEM. I HAVE ASKED FOR THE NAME OF THE VENDER WHO MADE THE TANK AND HAVE BEEN REFUSED. THIS IS A DEFECT IN MANUFACTURING! THE TANK IS AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION. I NEED HELP TO RECOVER MY COST FOR SOMEONE'S FAULTY PRODUCT. I HAVE OWNED AUTOMOBILES FOR 48 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE A FUEL TANK UNTIL NOW. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY GOING BACK HOME WHEN I SUDDENLY SAW THE BATTERY LIGHT COME ON. AFTER A FEW SECONDS ALL LIGHTS IN DASH BOARD CAME ON. THEN THE STEERING WHEEL GOT STUCK/LOCKED AND COULDNT STEER LEFT OR RIGHT. THATS WHEN I WAS AFRAID I WOULD GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. BUT IM GLAD I GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY SAFELY AND GOT MY CAR TOWED BACK HOME. A BAD SMELL WAS COMING FROM THE ENGINE BAY AND SAW THE ALT. WAS PRETTY BURNT. I TOOK IT TO THE NEAREST SHOP AND GOT MY ALT. REPLACED. NOW ITS JAN. 5 2015 AND THE BATTERY LIGHT STILL COMES ON OCCASIONALLY, I JUST HOPE THE CAR DOESNT SHUT DOWN ON ME AGAIN ON THE HIGHWAY WHERE I KNOW THAT NEXT TIME I MIGHT NOT BE AS LUCKY AND GET INTO A REALLY BAD ACCIDENT. I JUST WANT THIS PROBLEM FIXED AND WISH DODGE CAN TAKE CARE OF THEIR ISSUES BEFORE IT GETS WORSE.

DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 60MPH, THE ABS AND TRACTION LIGHTS CAME ON AT FIRST. ATTEMPTING TO GET HOME WITH THE VEHICLE WHEN ALL THE SUDDEN EVERYTHING STARTED SHUTTING DOWN; FIRST THE RADIO THEN THE DIFFERENT SYSTEMS ALL THE LIGHTS IN THE DASH BEGAN TO BLINK AND THEN WENT OUT. THE VEHICLE THEN COMPLETELY DIED; WHEN I NOTICED THE ISSUES I SWITCHED THE TRANSMISSION INTO NEUTRAL SO I COULD GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I THEN HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP. THE DEALER SHIP THEN TOOK 5 DAYS TO REPAIR SAID VEHICLE AS THE ALTERNATOR NEEDED WAS ON "BACKORDER". DUE TO THE FACT IT IS "A 3 HOUR REPAIR" PER THE WARRANTY A RENTAL CAR WAS NOT COVERED AND I WAS WITHOUT A VEHICLE FOR 5 DAYS. AND THOUGH THE VEHICLE HAD LESS THAN 50,000 MILES ON IT, IT WAS NOT COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURER WARRANTY; THANK GOD I PURCHASED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. *TR

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND ANOTHER VEHICLE WAS MERGING ONTO THE HIGHWAY ON THE INSIDE SHOULDER. I MADE A NORMAL LANE CHANGE TO AVOID GETTING T-BONED AND MY STEERING LOCKED UP CAUSING ME TO SPIN OUT AND HIT A GUARDRAIL. *TR

I NEARLY WAS KILLED TODAY GETTING OFF HIGHWAY I-10 WHEN MY ENTIRE CAR SHUT DOWN. THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILED ABS, ESP, BAS, TRACTION LIGHTING ALL CAME ON - POWER STEERING DID NOT WORK- COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WITH NO RECOURSE FINALLY COASTED TO PARK IN THE GARAGE CLOSE BY ON A DOWNHILL EXIT. I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO FIND AN EXIT TO THE PARKING LOT AND LITERALLY COASTED IN WITHOUT POWER STEERING OR ANY ELECTRICAL AND WAS AFRAID THE BRAKES WOULD NOT WORK TO EVEN STOP THE CAR. FORTUNATELY, IT COASTED AND STOPPED. PREVIOUSLY RECEIVED AN ALTERNATOR RECALL NOTICE FROM DODGE, BUT WAS TOLD THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY PARTS AVAILABLE TO FIX THIS VEHICLE. I HAD NO IDEA THAT MEANT MY ENTIRE CAR WOULD DIE ON THE HIGHWAY WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO EVEN STEER. *JS
