2012 DODGE CHALLENGER Electrical System Problems

SMART WINDOWS GO UP AND DOWN ON THEIR OWN RUNNING THE BATTERY DOWN.

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...

SMART WINDOWS JUST BEGIN OPENING AND CLOSING ON THEIR OWN. WINDOWS WILL BE DOWN/WIDE OPEN AFTER SITTING WITH CAR COMPLETELY OFF ALL NIGHT LEAVING CAR UNSECURE TO BE STOLEN OR VANDALIZED, EVEN LEAVING BATTERY DEAD WHERE CAR WILL NOT START. WINDOWS ALSO MOVE UP AND DOWN WHILE DRIVING ON THEIR OWN. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM!

HAVING ISSUES WITH "HEAT STAKES" IN WINDOWS CAUSING THE SMART GLASS SWITCH TO ACTIVATE WHILE VEHICLE IS OFF AND DRAINING THE BATTERY CAUSING FOR A JUMP EVERY MORNING. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE 2011 CHALLENGER (M24) FOR THE SAME EXACT ISSUE.

THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW REPEATEDLY MOVES UP AND DOWN UN-COMMANDED. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN OR STATIONARY AND CAUSES THE BATTERY TO BE DRAINED OVERNIGHT. THIS ISSUE WAS NOTED BY CHRYSLER ON THE 2011 CHALLENGER AND ADDRESSED IN THE "CUSTOMER SATISFACTION NOTIFICATION M24 SMART GLASS SWITCH". THE SAME ISSUES ARE PRESENT ON THE 2012 CHALLENGER AS EVIDENT IN THE AMOUNT NHTSA COMPLAINTS FILED AGAINST THIS VEHICLE (OR A QUICK SEARCH ON GOOGLE FOR "SMART GLASS SWITCH ISSUES"). HOWEVER, THEY REFUSE TO INCLUDE THESE MODELS IN THEIR DISTRIBUTOR/DEALER SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS REGARDING M24 WHEN THEY WERE ONLY MANUFACTURED A FEW MONTHS APART AND LIKELY WERE ASSEMBLED USING THE SAME FAULTY PARTS. SO FAR, I WAS FORCED TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR A NEW BATTERY, AND WILL SOON HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPLACEMENT SMART GLASS SWITCHES AND LABOR.

DRIVER SIDE WINDOW CONSTANTLY GOES UP AND DOWN AN INCH BY ITSELF WHEN CAR IS OFF, WINDOW UP, AND DOORS ARE CLOSED. DRAINING BATTERY.

TRACKTION LIGHT CAME ON(LITTLE CAR WITH TIRE TRACKS) THEN DEAD, WON'T HOLD A CHARGE.EXCACT SAME THING IS HAPPING TO THOUSANDS. ALTERNATOR REPLACED @ DODGE/$1,000. THERE'S A RECALL, (P60) 2011-2014/DODGE CHALLENGER'S THE ALTERNATER 160 AMP IS DEFECTIVE! SO WHY DID I HAVE TO PAY???? BECAUSE (THEY) ARE ONLY REPLACING THEM ON 3.6 L ENGINES NOT 5.7 L LIKE MINE!SO I GUESS IT'S ONLY DEFECTIVE WHEN U HAVE A SMALLER ENGINE? I PAID MORE$ FOR MY ENGINE SO I GUESS THEY THINK A DEFECTIVE ALTERNATOR IS GOING TO SOME HOW WORK? WELL IT DOSNT! MY QUESTION IS DID THEY PUT THE NEW AND IMPROVED ALTERNATOR ON MINE? OR DO I JUST HAVE TO PRAY THIS ONE DOSNT GO OUT AGAIN, ON THE FREEWAY AGAIN AND CAUSE A HUGE ACCIDENT! EVER BEEN COMING DOWN THE GRAPEVINE AT 70 MPH AND YOUR CAR GOES DEAD? NO STEERING NO BRAKES, IT'S LIKE AN E TICKET...

TRACKTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON, I PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY. THANK GOD BECAUSE WHEN I TRIED TO START IT ABOUT 5 MIN. LATER IT WAS DEAD. WOULD NOT HOLD A CHARGE, COULD NOT JUMP START IT , HAD IT TOWED TO HADDAD DODGE. NEXT MORNING THEY CALLED AND SAID IT IS THE ALTERNATER AND IT'S $1000😳SO I ASKED IF THAT'S ALL THAT'S WRONG BECAUSE I KNOW THERE WERE BURNED OUT FUSES AND I WOULD THINK I WOULD NEED A NEW BATTERY . HE SAID I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE ALTERNATER BEFORE HE COULD CHECK TO SEE IF ANYTHING ELSE WAS WRONG,HMMMMMM I'VE CHECKED THE DODGE BLOG AND I CAN'T COUNT HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE EXCACT SAME THING HAPPEN TO THERE CHALLENGERS! I GUESS THERE GOING TO WAIT TILL ONE OF US GETS KILLED BEFORE THEY DO A RECALL ON WHAT EVER IS CAUSING THIS TO HAPPEN,BECAUSE...

DRIVER SIDE WINDOW CONSTANTLY GOES UP AND DOWN A FEW INCHES BY ITSELF WHEN CAR IS OFF AND DOORS ARE CLOSED.

THE VEHICLE LOST COMPLETE POWER WHILE DRIVING, WAS TOLD IT WAS THE ALTERNATOR (WHICH WAS RECALLED). I HAD THAT FIXED AND A COUPLE DAYS AFTER THAT BOTH WINDOWS STARTED TO MALFUNCTION. THEY GO DOWN ABOUT A QUARTER INCH BY THEMSELVES WHILE THE CAR IS NOT RUNNING AND WHILE DRIVING. IT COMPLETELY DRAINS MY BATTERY AND THE VEHICLE WON'T START WITHOUT A JUMPER BOX OR JUMPER CABLES (EVERY TIME I TURN IT OFF.) I'VE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO FRANK SHOOP TWICE AND THEY CAN'T TELL ME WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT OR HAVE YET TO FIX IT. NOW IT'S STARTING TO STALL WHILE DRIVING AND THE HORN CONTINUES TO HONK WITHOUT BEING PROMPTED, THE BATTERY HAS TO DIE BEFORE THE HORN STOPS. THE RADIO HASN'T WORKED SINCE THE ALTERNATOR WAS FIXED. THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAD 32,000 WHEN I PURCHASED IT AND HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT TROUBLE SINCE.

WHEN CAR IS OFF AND PARKED WITH WINDOW ALL THE WAY UP, DRIVER SIDE WINDOW GOES UP AND DOWN EVERY FEW SECONDS WHICH DRAINS BATTERY. CANNOT GET WINDOW TO STOP DOING THIS AND IT CONTINUES TO BE A PROBLEM DAILY.

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...

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 $350.00 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! *TR

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..

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!

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.

BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER WINDOWS GO UP AND DOWN EVERY 3 SECONDS WHEN THE CAR IS OFF. CAUSING THE RUN THE BATTERY DEAD. I HAVE TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES THEY CLAIM TO RESET THE SMART GLASS SWITCH. IT KEEPS HAPPENING AND NOW THAT MY WARRANTY IS OUT THEY OFFER TO REPLACE. I SEE THIS IS A RECALL ON 2011 MODELS BUT IT HASN'T HIT THE 2012 YET. WHEN IT RAINS MY ENTIRE SEATS ARE SOAKING WET AND I HAVE A DEAD BATTERY EVERY OTHER DAY.

I HAVE A 2012 DODGE CHALLENGER AND MY DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE SMART WINDOWS BE GOING UP AND DOWN ON IT'S OWN WHILE THE CAR IS OFF AND PARKED WITH THE ALARM ON.
