NHTSA Complaint #10995025 — 2012 DODGE CHALLENGER

DRIVER SIDE WINDOW GOES UP AND DOWN ABOUT EVERY 10-12 SECONDS WHEN I PARKED IN DRIVEWAY. CAR POWER IS OFF AND NO ONE IN CAR. STARTED WHERE DRIVER WINDOW WOULD NOT CLOSE ALL THE WAY WHEN DOOR SHUTS. LASTED ABOUT 10 DAYS. I DID NOT DRIVE IT AS I AM A DISABLED VET AND COULD NOT CLIMB OVER PASSENGER SEAT TO GET OUT, OR TO LET WINDOW UP AFTER DOOR IS CLOSED. MOBILITY/FLEXIBILITY NOT GOOD. RAINY SEASON IN FLA. FINALLY DROVE IT, WINDOW BEGAN MAKING CLICKING SOUND. GOT HOME, GOT OUT OF CAR, CLOSED DOOR AND WINDOW BEGAN GOING UP AND DOWN. CAR PARKED WITH PLASTIC BAG OVER IT. HAD TO LEAVE WINDOW PARTIALLY DOWN TO PREVENT FURTHER ISSUES OR BATTERY TO DRAIN. NOW CAR NOT SECURE FROM THEFT AND INTERIOR DAMAGE. IN SEARCH ONLINE, THIS IS COMMON PROBLEM FOR 2012 CHALLENGER AND RECALL ISSUED FOR 2011 CHALLENGER FOR SAME/SIMILAR PROBLEM. PROBLEM IS WIDESPREAD AND DODGE ANSWER IS TAKE TO SERVICE CENTER. SERVICE CENTER CHARGES MIN. $140.00 JUST TO DIAGNOSE THEN I'M SURE REPAIR COST IS HIGH ALSO. ITS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM AND DODGE NEEDS TO OWN IT. I JUST HOPE MY CAR IS NOT RUINED FROM THE DAILY RAIN/CONSTANT BAD WEATHER OR STOLEN OR INSIDE DAMAGED. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY RECALL IS NOT FOR ALL VEHICLES EFFECTED BY THIS ISSUE. ITS OBVIOUS IT IS RELATED AND VERY COMMON. CAR HAS 60200 MILES. OF COURSE HAPPENED JUST AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRED. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND FIXED ASAP. USE TO LOVE MY CAR, BUT NOW IT IS USELESS TO ME. BEEN INFORMED ALSO CAUSES BATTERY FAILURE. THAT'S NOT A GOOD THING TO HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING. PLEASE HELP. PLEASE LOOK INTO THE MANY COMPLAINTS AND ISSUE A RECALL. MAKE DODGE OWN THEIR FAULTS. SO NOW I'M PAYING FOR A $30,000 CAR I CANT DRIVE AND IS SITTING OUTSIDE WITH PLASTIC OVER IT.
