2012 DODGE CHALLENGER Complaints

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

The contact owns a 2012 Dodge challenger. The contact stated while driving 70 mph, the vehicle stalled. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not drivable. The contact towed the vehicle to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed with needing the timing chain to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 125,000.

MY CAR KEEPS GOING FROM 60 OR HOWEVER FAST I'M DRIVING TO SMOKING TIRES AND MY CAR IS HALTED CAUSING ME TO ALMOST WRECK WAY TOO MANY TIMES.

THIS WOULD BE THE 3 OR 4 TIME WITH THIS ISSUE AND I HADE TO REPLACE PART AND FIX IT. DRIVER SIDE SMART WINDOW STOPS WORKING IT WON'T GO DOWN WHEN OPENING DOOR CAUSING YOU TO FORCE DOOR OPEN AND NOW DOOR CAN NOT CLOSE CORRECTLY

THE WINDOW SENSORS GO OUT AND ALL OF THE CONTROLS AT THE STEERING WHEEL. WINDOWS STOP ROLLING UP ON THEIR OWN SO CLOSE THE DOOR AND LEAVES 1/4INCH GAP. SOMETIMES STAYS ALL THE WAY UP SO WINDOW HITS DOOR JAM. DOES THIS ON DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE. ALSO, WINDSHIELD WIPERS CONTROL WON'T WORK, TURN SIGNALS WON'T WORK. CHECKED ALL FUSES AND TRIED HARD RESET SND THAT DIDN'T WORK. SOMETIMES THEY WILL START WORKING AGAIN AND THEN JUST STOP AGAIN. TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE CHALLENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT EVERY TIME SHE TURNED OFF HER VEHICLE SHE HAD TO UNPLUG HER BATTERY BECAUSE THERE WAS A MALFUNCTION WITH THE SMART SWITCH IN HER WINDOWS. THE WINDOWS DID NOT COMPLETELY CLOSE AND AS A RESULT THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM OVERHEATED THE VEHICLE AND DRAINED THE BATTERY. THE CONTACT CALLED THE DEALER FREEDOM CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM BY ED MORSE 815 E CAMP WISDOM RD, DUNCANVILLE, TX 75116 888) 331-8981 AND THEY SAID TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THEY ALSO SAID THERE WERE NO RECALLS . THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED WITH CONTACT HAVING TO BUY NEW BATTERIES TO BE ABLE TO START HER VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER GAVE THE CONTACT A CASE NUMBER AND REFERRED HER TO CALL NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

LEFT CYLINDER HEAD WAS REPLACED UNDER MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY AT 144,XXX OCT 18 2018. CYLINDER HEAD WAS REPLACED AGAIN UNDER THE SAME WARRANTY AT 160XXX SEPTEMBER 2020. AFTER REPAIR DEALER STATED THAT THE RIGHT HEAD HAD A LEAK AND NEEDED TO BE DIAGNOSED. CHRYSLER AUTHORIZES 9 HOURS OF SERVICE LABOR FOR DIAGNOSIS UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY X56 . THE WARRANTY ALSO AUTHORIZES REPLACEMENT OF THE RIGHT HEAD COVER AND GASKET IF REQUIRED. WHEN I BROUGHT UP THIS FINE PRINT TO THE DEALER I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT CHRYSLER WOULD NOT COVER ANYTHING ELSE. IT TOOK CALLING FOR OVER A MONTH STRAIGHT FOR THEM TO FINALLY AUTHORIZE THE WARRANTY WORK BASED ON THE UPDATED 2014 BULLETIN THAT ADDED THE RIGHT SIDE TO THE WARRANTY.I WAS TOLD I HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET 2000$ TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. EVEN THOUGH IT WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY THEY TOLD ME IT WASNT. I AGREED TO PAY AND THEY REFUSED TO TAKE THE CAR IN. I ASKED THEM TO PUT IT IN WRITING THAT THEY WOULDN'T COVER IT UNDER WARRANTY AND I WAS TOLD I WAS NOT WELCOME THERE. I AM A DISABLED ARMY VETERAN AND I USE DRIVING AS MY THERAPY. MY CAR HAS BEEN NON OP FOR OVER A MONTH NOW. NOW THAT CHRYSLER HAS VERIFIED EVERYTHING I HAVE SAID THE WHOLE TIME IT'S TOO LATE BECAUSE NOW THE DEALERSHIPS AROUND TOWN WONT TOUCH THE CAR BASED ON THE BELIEF CHRYSLER WONT COVER IT. CHRYSLER SAID TO ME TONS OF TIMES THAT I WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. IT TOOK THEM FINDING THE UPDATED BULLETIN. I DONT BLAME THE DEALERSHIPS I BLAME CHRYSLER. HOW CAN YOU REPLACE ONE HEAD AT 144K AND EXPECT THE OLD HEAD TO WORK WELL WITH IT. THE LEFT HEAD IS A WAY TO GET PEOPLE IN THE SHOP FOR A FREE LEFT SIDE HEAD THAT CAUSES MORE DAMAGE. IT'S LIKE PUTTING AN OLD TIRE WITH A NEW ONE. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ASKING FOR REPLACEMENT OF BOTH HEADS. CHRYSLER CLAIMED IT DOESN'T CAUSE THE VEHICLES TO FAIL AND IT DOES LIKE MINE DID ON THE FREEWAY WHILE DRIVING

DOOR LOCKS, LOCK AND UNLOCK ON THEIR OWN. WILL DO IT ANYTIME, DOESN'T MATTER IS THE CAR IS RUNNING OR NOT. POSSIBILITY OF GETTING STOLEN OR MAYBE THE DOOR WILL OPEN WHILE IN MOTION. HAPPENING AS I TYPE THIS...

AS I HAD GOT OFF FROM WORK TODAY AND INTO MY CAR I NOTICED MY REVIEW MIRROR HAD FALLEN OFF. I CAN ONLY ASSUME THAT THE HEAT IS THE REASON IT CAME OFF. 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.
