The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was later towed to the residence. Additionally, the contact was aware that the VIN was included in NHTSA Campaign Numbers: 19V018000 (Air Bags) and 17V435000 (Electrical System); however, the parts to do the recall repairs were not yet available.

The contact owns a 2012 Dodge Challenger. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle with passengers inside the vehicle, there was an abnormal fuel odor entering the cabin of the vehicle. The contact stated that after further inspection in the morning, the contact became aware of a puddle of fuel on the driveway by the rear driver’s side tire.

The transmission stalled after driving it for 4000 miles. The car has 9 codes associated with the anti lock brakes, electric power steering, and transmission control. The car is available for inspection. This car creates an unsafe condition for the driver whose anti lock brakes fail, and the fact that the transmission is bad.

While backing into my driveway garage I heard a loud bang and my car's transmission lost its linkage to the drive shaft. The car rolled forward regardless of shifting the car in park, reverse, neutral, drive, etc. I had to stop the car with my brakes and then park the car with my emergency brake enabled to stop the car from rolling on its own. A driver could easily be killed by not reacting right to the car when it loses its driving shaft. The driver yoke looks like it could be part of the problem. The car is currently at the transmission repair shop for repair and a safety investigation.

Air bag failure indicator is on after other clock spring related issue (radio volume increases when steering wheel turns) started. Air bags no longer appear to be in working order after apparent click spring failure. Part has not been replaced to confirm.

My car has come to a complete halt several times when I pressed the gas trying to get onto the speedway it will just have no power to it like it’s in neutral and I will have to hurry up and get over to the side and turn it back into park and then back into drive and pray that it goes. It doesn’t kick into gear like it should all the time my battery is always a hit or miss. I just spent $1000 on repairs and my power won’t even work. It’s an electric. and pray that it goes. It doesn’t kick into gear like it should alternator all the time my battery is always a hit or miss. I just spent $1000 on repairs and my power. Siri won’t even work. It’s an electrical nobody can get anything to fix it and now we’re out of state and it broke down again. It is so dangerous recently, the belt came off of it while I was driving and it caused liquids to explode and almost caused fire

Car randomly stalls while driving. Does NOT show CHECK ENGINE light, nor have any codes been recorded as checked by dealer obd reader. 2 Dodge Dealerships unable to diagnose because of no codes. Both dealerships claim they have not heard of this problem before I appeared. I saw in online forums that other owners have been dealing with this issue since at least 2011, so it appears the manufacturer is ducking their responsibility.

2012 Challenger SRT8 TIPM is this issue and there is no recall for this, while it should due to being a major part of the electrical system that controls all aspects of the safety system. Also now I am being told Dodge does NOT make this part any longer....how is that possible. This IS a recall for other Dodge models, why not mine

Window keeps going up and down fixed it at the shop the door lock actuator is the problem had passenger side fixed now the driver side is doing it which is draining my battery seems like a lot of cars have this issue

HOWEVER, I CALLED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP IN CONYERS, GA AND WAS TOLD THAT I COULD BRING THE CAR IN WITH THE ISSUE. I IMMEDIATELY WENT THERE AS I WAS ONLY A COUPLE MINUTES FROM THERE. WHEN I GET THERE SHE TELLS ME SOMETHING DIFFERENT AND I WAS UNABLE TO GET MY REVIEW MIRROR FIXED. I WAS TIRED AND FRUSTRATED. I NOW CAN'T DRIVE MY CAR AND I HAVE TO BE TO WORK. IS THIS SOMETHING THAT CAN BE FIXED QUICKLY AS I AM A LOYAL CUSTOMER OF DODGE AND HAVE EVERY INTENTION ON BUYING MORE VEHICLES FROM YOU.

LATCH /MOTOR FOR WINDOW GOING UP AND DOWN BY ITSELF DRIVER SIDE HAD TO BE REPLACED VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH DODGE OWNERS I JUST PAID 563 DOLLARS FOR DEALER TO REPLACE LATCH SO IT WON'T DRAIN MY BATTERY AND LEAVE ME STRANDED. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND TURNED OFF. A SWITCH MALFUNCTIONED IN THE CAR, CAUSING THE DRIVER'S WINDOW TO LOWER AND RAISE 1/4" EVERY 30 SECONDS OR SO. THIS DRAINED THE BATTERY AND LEFT US STRANDED. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH IT LOOKS LIKE IT IS THE SMART GLASS SWITCH THAT FAILED. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE ON THESE VEHICLES AND DODGE ISSUED A RECALL FOR ONLY 2011 MODEL YEARS LEAVING THE REST OF US IN JEOPARDY OF BEING STRANDED AND TO PAY HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS FOR A FIX AND POSSIBLE ANOTHER COUPLE HUNDRED FOR A NEW BATTERY.

PASSENGER WINDOW WILL GO DOWN ABOUT 1/4 OF AN INCH EVERY 10 SECONDS WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED AND VEHICLE IS UNLOCKED. THIS CAUSED BATTERY TO DRAIN.

ALL OF A SUDDEN MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT IT'S HARD TO STEER THE VEHICLE WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN, ON A CITY STREET WITH A LOT OF TRAFFIC AND PEDESTRIANS. THE ROAD WAS DRY. NO INDICATIONS THAT THE CAR WAS HAVING AN ISSUE PRIOR TO THAT. I CHECKED THE POWER STEERING FLUID AND THE BELT I DON'T HEAR A SOUND. I'VE ASKED SEVERAL PEOPLE ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED THIS AS BEING A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A TURN AND THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT WHICH CAUSED ME TO ALMOST HIT THE CURB AND PEDESTRIANS ON THE SIDEWALK. THERE HAS TO BE A RESOLUTION BECAUSE THIS IS A PROBLEM NOT WITH JUST MY VEHICLE UP WITH MANY OTHERS. WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE I WAS TOLD THAT IT HAD A NEW POWER STEERING UNIT IN IT.

AIR BAG ILLUMINATES INTERMITTENTLY. THIS IS A CLEAR INDICATOR OF A BREAK IN THE CIRCUIT. THE FACT IT COMES OFF AND ON LEADS ME TO BELIEVE IT IS A CONNECTION SOMEWHERE BEING JARRED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE CHALLENGER. WHILE DRIVING AND WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW WENT UP AND DOWN. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 104,900.

THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW KEEPS GOING UP AND DOWN EVEN WHEN THE CAR ISN'T RUNNING OR KEYS IN THE VEHICLE.

MY DRIVER SIDE WINDOW CONSTANTLY ROLLS UP AND DOWN AND IT DRAINS MY BATTERY IN MOMENTS. I DONT KNOW IF MY ALTERNATOR IS GOING BACK BECAUSE EVEN AFTER I REPLACED MY BATTERY 2 TIMES IT TAKES FOREVER TO JUMP MY CAR OFF. I DONT UNDERSTAND HOW A FAULTY WINDOW CAN CAUSE THIS

SUBJECT: DOOR SMART GLASS SELF CYCLING AND/OR BATTERY DRAIN THE DOOR SMART GLASS FEATURE CYCLES ON ITS OWN WHICH LEADS TO BATTERY DRAIN. THE CONDITION TYPICALLY OCCURS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED AND THE IGNITION KEY IS OFF. THIS CONDITION IS IDENTICAL TO THE EXACT SYMPTOMS IDENTIFIED ON THE 2011 MODEL. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED ON CHRYSLER'S SERVICE BULLETIN CSN-M24 SMART GLASS SWITCH. THE SMART GLASS SWITCH ISSUE NEEDS TO BE RECALLED ON THE 2012 MODEL ASAP..!

DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW GOING UP/DOWN 1/4 INCH, WHEN CAR IS PARKED AND OFF, DRAINING BATTERY

BATTERY WAS REPLACED BECAUSE IT WENT DEAD. LOST POWER STEERING. WINDOWS GOING UP AND DOWN ON THEIR OWN RUNNING DOWN NEW BATTERY. FOUND FUSE THAT RUNS SIDE MIRRORS AND POWER STEERING TO BE GOOD BUT IS SHOWING THE FUSE BOX TO BE GROUNDING OUT WHEN FUSE IS REMOVED. I HAVE HEARD OF ALOT OF ISSUES WITH THE WINDOWS ON THIS CAR. NOBODY CAN SEEM TO LOCATE THE PROBLEM. THE CAR WAS SITTING STILL AND ENGINE NOT TURNED ON. IF I LEAVE WINDOWS OPEN, WEATHER DAMAGE IS DONE. DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITHOUT POWER STEERING. AFRAID IT MIGHT CATCH ON FIRE DUE TO THE GROUNDING OUT. THERE ARE NO RECALLS REFERRING TO THIS ISSUE. WHY AND WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT GETTING THIS RESOLVED WHEN MECHANICS CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM?
