2013 DODGE CHALLENGER Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE CHALLENGER. WHILE DRIVING AND TURNING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT HEARD AN INTERMITTENT CLICKING NOISE. THERE WAS NO WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. ALSO, THE STEERING DID NOT OPERATE WELL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ADDY'S HARBOR DODGE RAM FIAT (843-945-3100, LOCATED AT 4849 U S 501, MYRTLE BEACH, SC 29579) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 59,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE EMERGENCY BRAKE DOES NOT WORK. I HAVE ENGAGED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND MY VEHICLE STILL ROLLS. I CONTACTED STATELINE DODGE IN KANSAS CITY, MO. THEY ADVISED IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH MY YEAR AND MODEL AND THEY WANT TO CHARGE OVER A THOUSAND DOLLARS TO FIX ALSO THEY ADVISED THAT EVEN WITH THE FIX IT STILL MAY ROLL. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE LISTED DATE OF OCCURRENCE IS THE LAST DATE. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 50000 MILES AND THIS HAS BE HAPPENING FOR ABOUT THE FIVE OR SIX YEARS NOW. I DON'T DRIVE THE VEHICLE MUCH

MY DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT WILL NOT LATCH AND THE ENGINE HAS A PRETTY DISTINCT TICK AND I HAVE READ A LOT OF 5.7 HEMI ENGINES HAVE THE EXACT PROBLEM

CHALLENGERS STEERING ALWAYS GOES OUT. THEIR ARE FORUMS ALL OVER THE INTERNET ABOUT THE HORRIBLE STEERING ISSUES OF DODGE VEHICLE RANGING FROM BRAND NEW MODELS TO OLDER MODELS. THIS ISSUES MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO TURN WHICH IS A SAFETY HAZARD. ALSO THE BOOK INSIDE THE CHALLENGERS SHOW THAT THERE IS A POWER STEERING RESERVOIR BUT IT DOES NOT HAVE ONE SO EVEN IF LOW FLUID WAS AN ISSUE WE COULD NOT FIX THAT.

THE STEERING IS REAL STIFF WHEN THE CAR IS FIRST STARTED. IT GETS EXCEPTIONALLY STIFF WHEN TURNING LEFT.

DRIVER SIDE SMART WINDOW OPENS AND CLOSES EVERY 30 SEC. RUNS BATTERY DOWN OVERNIGHT

MY KEY FROB IS LOCKED INSIDE THE IGNITION AND WILL NOT COME OUT... THE CAR WILL NOT START OR EVEN RECOGNIZE THAT THE KEY FROB IS I. THE IGNITION.... STUCK IN PARK !!

DRIVER SIDE SMART WINDOW IS GOING UP AND DOWN WHILE PARKED. CAUSING THE BATTERY TO DRAIN. I THINK IT'S SOME SORT OF DOOR LATCH AND WINDOW MALFUNCTION.

I HAVE A 2013 DODGE CHALLENGER WITH 45,000 MILES AND THE DRIVER WINDOW GOES UP AND DOWN BY ITSELF ONCE THE CAR IS POWERED OFF. IT IS ONLY SUPPOSED TO DO THAT WHEN YOU OPEN AND CLOSE THE DOOR. WHY DOES DODGE NOT HAVE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE? IT CAUSES MY BATTERY TO GO DOWN OVERNIGHT.

DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW GOES DOWN A 4TH INCH THEM BACK UP.WITH NO KEY ON CAUSING THE BATTERY DO GO DEAD.THE CAR IS IN PARK WHEN IT HAPPENS.IT DOES IT EVERY 20 SEC OR SO
