A year after I replaced the driver's side Smart glass switch, the door release has been amlfunctioning. It will unlock, but you can't open the door- especially on hot days. This is a saftey risk- if I need the safety of my vehicle, I can't even get it open.

Tl- the contact owns a 2011 Dodge Challenger. The contact stated that the key was becoming increasingly difficult to turn over and start the vehicle.

6 Body problem

Failure Date: 11/21/2011

There is a paint booth issue at the factory in ontario canada. My redline 3 pearlcoat has bumps all over the body paint job. Its like the booth was dirty and it either globbed off the end of a sprayer or it was really dirty inside but I did not see it until after I purchased it. I paid an extra $995 for this so wtf over? orange peel and you name it. Does not look like a factory paint job unless it was Monday or Friday I guess! I hate that when you call Dodge corporate they could give a rats ass! one lady said "we don't care we don't sell the vehicles we just make them" I said seriously so you make a product but don't stand behind it fuck off! none of them care, even after dropping $50k so yeah.
