Consumer Description

THE SMART GLASS WILL CYCLE UP AND DOWN 1/4 INCH, WHILE THE IGNITION IS OFF. THIS IS HAPPENING ON BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOORS, CAUSING THE WINDOWS TO GO UP AND DOWN WHICH THEN CAUSES THE BATTERY TO DRAIN WHILE PARKED OVERNIGHT. THERE WAS A 2011-12 DODGE CHALLENGER SMART GLASS TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN PUT OUT FOR OLDER MODELS, WHICH REPLACED THE DOOR LATCHES CAUSING THIS ISSUE. HOWEVER, IT IS STILL AN ISSUE IN MY 2013 CHALLENGER. DODGE KNEW OF THIS ISSUE AND STILL INSTALLED THE SAME PARTS IN LATER MODELS. THEY SHOULD DO THE RIGHT THING, AND ISSUE A RECALL OR TSB, AND TAKE CARE OF THIS ISSUE FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS!
