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.

The windows on my car are continuously moving up and down without me touching the controls. The door handle latches are also getting stuck and in the mornings the car is dead and has to be jumped. I called the Dodge dealership after googling the problem. The dealership told me the door latches need to be replaced at a cost of $350 each and they have had several of these complaints and problems. This is causing the windows to move by themselves and draining the battery overnight. They immediately knew what I was talking about. I think there should be a recall on these two problems. We pay too much for our cars as it is. Now I have to pay for a malfunction!

Smart window problem, divers side window and passengers side window move up and ⬇ randomly on their own even without power applied, ignition off, vehicle unoccupied at any time. Came out from work after parking car unoccupied for hours and windows were down leaving vehicle fully able to be stolen, broken into, or vandalized. Windows also move up and down on their own while operating the vehicle on their own.this is a very very serious ongoing issue!!!!! this issue started with earlier year Challengers and continues through 2012 models also and beyond! Chrysler/Dodge needs to recall all Challengers, all years to present and fix this seriously dangerous unsafe issue now!!!!! this is a continual ongoing problem with these so called smart windows even disabling the vehicles do to a dead battery.

My 2012 Challenger rt V8 alternator went out at about 51,000 miles. It cost $600 to replace, but 7 weeks later I am getting a low voltage alert again. I had it tested and the alternator failed. I'm afraid this car is going to die in the middle of an intersection. The V6 was recalled for alternator problems. I have seen where several owners of V8's have complained of the same thing I have (lights dimming, windshield wipers causing radio lights to dim, whining sound under hood, random low voltage alerts on radar detectors, then suddenly the car stops running, everything shuts down); no recall has been published for the V8 but I feel we are experiencing the same problems.

On November 1st I was driving on the highway and my driver side window kept going up and down about 3-4 inches by itself and would repeat it over and over. Now my car when it is parked and locked the driver side window goes up and down by itself until it drains my battery dead..

- Davenport, IA, USA

Driver side window going up and down and it drained my battery. Now I have to pay 500 dollars to get the door latch fixed because it's 'bad'. it's an electrical problem that obviously is happening to many people. Please do a recall on this problem!

- Valdosta, GA, USA

For the past few months my driver side window will go up and down every few seconds when the vehicle is parked. I park in a garage and first noticed when I went out and heard loud noises coming from my car. I thought maybe I had not closed the door properly and made sure to check each time after. It continued to happen nearly every time the car was parked. So much so that now the battery needs to be charged daily. This has also caused the rubber edging to start to rub of on the window, and not seal as tightly. When I do park outside and there is bad weather, such as rain or wind, the inside of my car will be wet or dirty. I have found were this has been recalled on other models and would like to have it covered for mine.
