2013 DODGE CHALLENGER Electrical System Problems

Driver & passenger door windows on many 2010-2017 Dodge Challengers activate repeatedly on their own during driving and after ignition is turned off causing the battery to completely drain overnight & sometimes after only one or two hours after the ignition is turned off. There was a TSB#23-039-11. This TSB does not apply to my 2013 Challenger. Parts are extremely expensive and the car leaves me stranded if parked only a couple of hours. During driving the cycling down and up causes danger as it appears the door wants to open on its own and making us have to pull over several times until we figured out it was doing it on its own as if it was haunted. No warning lights on my 2013 Challenger. Mechanics checked it after having 2 brand new batteries drain overnight. Batteries are approximately $200.00. Dealer will only say the door latch mechanism needs...

* The ignition switch failed to release the key fob. I brought the car home after completing some repairs and sending the car through emissions testing to renew the plates. I made numerous attempts turning the car on and off and trying to get the key fob out of the ignition. The ignition off position would flash ACCESSORIES the same as the accessory position. I was concerned to leave the car as there maybe a short that would draw down the battery or worse ? I locked the doors and left the key fob in the ignition. * YES- available for inspection. * safety issue was is there an electrical issue that would start the car on fire ? * The diagnosis was done by my performance and high end mechanic's shop. The battery in the key bob was changed while being stuck in the ignition to see if a...

When I start the car, it shuts off if I pushed the button to restart it, sounds like it’s double starting itself the only way that I can make it stop is by continuously hitting the button. The only way that I can restart. The car is if I open the driver‘s door, then hit the button to completely cut off the car shut the door hit the button again then the car will start. It’s like I have to reset it. it does it often has been for years when I take it to the mechanics or dealership they tell me to bring it up there when it’s doing it. That’s the only way that they can find out what the issue is, after this happens I’ll take it to the dealership and they find nothing they request for me to bring it when is doing that, but I...

The vehicle is available for inspection. The issue caused a fire under my carport and within 30 feet of a neighbor's house. The car is immobile and still at the location of the incident, it has not been reproduced or inspected. there were no warning lamps at the time of the incident. The electrical system seemed to have several issues over the past years. The passenger side tail light would burn out at least twice a year. The driver's side window would go up and down when the car was off and ran out of battery. The vehicle would allow the key fob to be locked in the car. I took it to the dealer but they were unable to determine the cause. Most recently what a mechanic thought was the starter failed twice in less than six months. Last month, I went to start the car, and it started...

Taillights aren’t staying on. The break and signal lights work however, after driving the vehicle for a few minutes the taillights go out. I can turn the switch from auto to on but after about 5 minutes each time they are going off

Car has had intermittent electrical issues, head lights flashing, dash board losing power, car alarms in and out. Most recently it stalled while driving on a country road. Was able to restart after a while. It stalled again while driving on highway. Took car to dealership but they stated my alternater was not a part of safety recall T36, even though I was having those exact same issues.

When starting my vehicle, I would push the push start button and it will continue to turn over and over and over but not start, it will do it for a minute or more and there is not way to turn it off.

NHTSA Recall Number17V-435 Suffered failure of alternator as described in recall. Purchased part and fixed myself. Filed reimbursement request, file number 83533254 for part only. Claim denied alleging vehicle not fixed at dealership.

UNFAIR MONETARY HARM TO CUSTOMERS DUE TO DEFECTIVE PART. SAME ISSUE AS MANY HAVE MENTIONED ON HERE WITH DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW REPEATEDLY GOING UP AND DOWN WITHOUT STOPPING WHILE STATIONARY WITH CAR OFF, WHICH DRAINS THE BATTERY AND YOU CAN'T STOP IT. MY 2013 CHALLENGER HAD A BAD WINDOW LATCH, CAUSING THE BATTERY TO DIE (LEFT STRANDED). HAD TO PAY $300 OUT OF POCKET FOR DEALER TO REPLACE LATCH FOR 'SMART GLASS' THAT ISN'T NECESSARY. RECALL ALREADY ISSUED ON THE 2011S, YET RECALLS HAVEN'T BEEN ISSUED FOR NEWER MODELS DESPITE SAME PROBLEMS. I'M THANKFUL FOR NHTSA AND HOPING DODGE IS HELD ACCOUNTABLE.

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.

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!

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR LIKE NORMAL FOR THE PAST 2/12 YEARS. IT'S A 2013 CHALLENGER 5.70. MY CAR WENT DEAD WHILE DRIVING. I LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR, BUT, THANK GOD I DIDN'T HIT ANYTHING OR ANYONE. I RAN TESTS ON MY CAR BATTERY, IT'S GOOD. INTERESTING NOTE: I HAD THE ALTERNATOR REPLACE SIX MONTHS AGO ON A FACTORY RECALL. THE DODGE DEALER TOLD ME IT'S NOT THE ALTERNATOR, THOUGH REPLACED IT ANYWAY. THEY SAID IT'S THE POWER STEERING PUMP AND ELECTRIC PROBLEM DUE TO A WIRE NOT COMMUNICATING TO THE BUS OR COMPUTER.
