Consumer Description

THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND TURNED OFF. A SWITCH MALFUNCTIONED IN THE CAR, CAUSING THE DRIVER'S WINDOW TO LOWER AND RAISE 1/4" EVERY 30 SECONDS OR SO. THIS DRAINED THE BATTERY AND LEFT US STRANDED. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH IT LOOKS LIKE IT IS THE SMART GLASS SWITCH THAT FAILED. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE ON THESE VEHICLES AND DODGE ISSUED A RECALL FOR ONLY 2011 MODEL YEARS LEAVING THE REST OF US IN JEOPARDY OF BEING STRANDED AND TO PAY HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS FOR A FIX AND POSSIBLE ANOTHER COUPLE HUNDRED FOR A NEW BATTERY.
