2012 DODGE CHALLENGER Complaints

THE VEHICLE LOST COMPLETE POWER WHILE DRIVING, WAS TOLD IT WAS THE ALTERNATOR (WHICH WAS RECALLED). I HAD THAT FIXED AND A COUPLE DAYS AFTER THAT BOTH WINDOWS STARTED TO MALFUNCTION. THEY GO DOWN ABOUT A QUARTER INCH BY THEMSELVES WHILE THE CAR IS NOT RUNNING AND WHILE DRIVING. IT COMPLETELY DRAINS MY BATTERY AND THE VEHICLE WON'T START WITHOUT A JUMPER BOX OR JUMPER CABLES (EVERY TIME I TURN IT OFF.) I'VE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO FRANK SHOOP TWICE AND THEY CAN'T TELL ME WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT OR HAVE YET TO FIX IT. NOW IT'S STARTING TO STALL WHILE DRIVING AND THE HORN CONTINUES TO HONK WITHOUT BEING PROMPTED, THE BATTERY HAS TO DIE BEFORE THE HORN STOPS. THE RADIO HASN'T WORKED SINCE THE ALTERNATOR WAS FIXED. THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAD 32,000 WHEN I PURCHASED IT AND HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT TROUBLE SINCE.

TAKATA RECALL FOR MY DODGE CHALLENGER HAS NOT BEEN REMEDIED. WHY? WHEN IS IT GOING TO BE FIXED? IT ENDANGERS MY PASSENGER/S EVERY TIME THEY ARE IN MY CAR.

WHEN CAR IS OFF AND PARKED WITH WINDOW ALL THE WAY UP, DRIVER SIDE WINDOW GOES UP AND DOWN EVERY FEW SECONDS WHICH DRAINS BATTERY. CANNOT GET WINDOW TO STOP DOING THIS AND IT CONTINUES TO BE A PROBLEM DAILY.

"TAKATA RECALL" THE DRIVER WINDOW MOVES UP AND DOWN LIKE WHEN YOU OPEN THE DOOR BUT IT HAPPENED WHEN IGNITION IS OFF AND KEY IS OFF AND DRAIN BATTERY.

HELLO, I PURCHASED A 2012 DODGE CHALLENGER SXT FROM CLOVIS CHRYSLER DODGE AUGUST 2013. SINCE THAT TIME, I HAVE HAD THE ALTERNATOR, WHICH IS ON RECALL BE REPLACED BY CLOVIS DODGE IN FEBRUARY OF 2015 AS WELL AS FEBRUARY OF 2017. I ATTEMPTED TO TRADE-IN MY VEHICLE ON 02/13/17, BUT THE DEALERSHIP MADE ME AWARE THAT THERE WAS ANOTHER RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE FOR THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR, NHTSA RECALL #16V-352: TAKATA RECALL. THE DEALERSHIP ADVISED ME THAT THEY DO NOT TAKE RECALL VEHICLES AS A TRADE IN. MY VEHICLE CONTINUES TO HAVE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AND NOW I AM IN A POSITION WHERE I CANNOT TRADE IN MY VEHICLE . I AM TRYING TO GET A NEW VEHICLE DUE TO HAVING A BABY ON THE WAY AND NOW THIS CAR PUTS ME INTO A POSITION TO WHERE I SPEND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX IT WHEN I NEED TO GET RID OF IT, OR I JUST KEEP IT AND WAIT FOR IT TO CONTINUE TO BREAK DOWN. I'M NOT SURE WHAT ELSE TO DO.

I TIRED TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND GET OUT WHILE IT WAS RUNNING. BECAUSE OF THE SHIFTIER DESIGN IT WENT TO 'R' AND NOT PARK CAUSING THE CAR TO START REVERSING AS I WAS GETTING OUT. I WAS ABLE TO JUMP BACK IN AND HIT THE BREAKS BUT THE CAR DOOR HIT THE GARAGE WALL AND MESSED UP NOT ONLY MY CAR DOOR BUT THE WALL.
