general problems of the 2011 Dodge Challenger - part 1

I replaced the factory alternator about 2 years back and have had to replace it twice since then. The replacement alternator were not from the manufacturer but were brand new. The battery warning light comes on when it starts to fail and the hot wire leading to the alternator gets extremely hot. Didn't experience this until I had the aftermarket alternator installed.

The contact owns a 2011 Dodge Challenger. The contact stated that while driving at 80 mph, the vehicle shut off unexpectedly. The vehicle was jump-started. The battery was replaced. No warning lights were illuminated. The contact was concerned about driving the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an unknown local dealer to be repaired under NHTSA campaign number: 17v435000 (electrical system) in 2000. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure reoccurred. The manufacturer was contacted and filed a claim, but no additional assistance was provided. The approximate failure mileage was 168,000.

Electrical failure. Identical to the description of p60 / NHTSA 14v-634.

The driver side window 'Smart switch' is malfunctioning again. It has was replaced a little over a year ago. I was told my particular vehicle was not covered under the recall, missed it by a month. The fact is my vehicle meets all the criteria as the vehicles under the recall. Can I get some help here please?.

Hello so I was going through drivethru and all of a sudden the car started rubbling and it stop and didn't know to do because I was stuck in the middle. So I turnt off the car and turnt it back on and it wouldn't start it will just make the rubbling sound I did a jump and still nothing at all.

There is a heavy drain on battery that causes battery to drain when it sits for a couple days or more.

While driving this car on the highway with the windows open, the drivers window suddenly went up almost catching my sons arm in the window. The window continued to go up and down all on its own. Eventually it stopped and did not happen again. However it appears that during the night the window started moving on its own and eventually killed the battery. In researching I found that the 2011 Challengers had a Smart glass problem, exactly like this, but it was only on builds before March 2011 and this car was July 2011. I fear that during the night if this happens while parked in garage it could possible overheat motor and cause fire. Or trap my sons arm in window while driving.

The Smart glass switch for the power windows drains the battery while the car is powered off. Chrysler has a �minor� recall on it for my make and model of my car, but they decided my VIN is not included even though all of the symptoms of the recall are present and my vehicle matches the year make and model of the recall.

The electrical system on this vehicle shuts the vehicle down when the battery isn"t strong enough to support the computer. This happens while driving. Causing loss of steering and control of the vehicle. The traction control shuts off and because the engine shuts down the power steering is gone and the power brakes . This happened to me coming around a sharp corner of an off ramp. I lost all control of the vehicle and almost went off the road. I called the service dept. Of my dealership and they told me this is common when the battery charge isn't powerful enough to sustain the computer. But there are no warning signals or anything within the car to tell you the battery is low. I did a system check when I pulled over and the system said "ok". I feel this is a serious safety issue. Some one can seriously be hurt or killed.

Faulty door latch that caused driver side window to open and close intermittently and drain the battery while engine was off.

Car is making a winding noise under hood, smell strange odor. Car stall when I stop beed jump.

Since we bought the car during moist weather moisture gets in window mechanism causing windows to malfunction by continuously going up and down about a half an inch. This keeps happening until the battery drains. This only happens when car is parked. Putting windows down does not help and dealers are wanting to charge $500 for a "brand new" already defunct system.

I was driving down the freeway and my drivers side window started going up & down. I took it into the dealership they ran a diagnostic & said it was the door module & switch they both got replaced & I still have the problem plus if connected it kills the battery.

Driver side window keep going up and down I have took it to the shop one time before and it keep doing it costing me more money the first time it killed my battery I have to leave it cracked so it won't run the battery down and battery are not cheap over $200 then had to pay the shop. Now got to take it to the shop again.

I was driving home on 4/17/15 in my 2011 Dodge Challenger when all the warning lights on the dash started flashing, the radio was going on and off, the lights went dim, but the scariest thing was the car suddenly lost all power, it was still running but it acted like it was on 2 cylinders, almost got rammed by the car behind me!! had car towed to dealer, will call them tomorrow. This is a very dangerous flaw in the system and will result in future loss of life if not corrected!!!!.

My window constantly goes up and down 1/8th inch when the vehicle is turned off. I have looked online and found 80 2011 Challengers recalled for this exact problem, I believe they should all be under recall. The Smart glass operation is faulty. Every 7 seconds my window moves 1/8th of an inch up or down. This drains my battery and makes my car die. Customer satisfaction notification m24 should be expanded to include all 2011 Challengers with the Smart glass.

My wife an I were on the interstate when the first incident happened, running 70mph, the instrument panel blinked and all intruments went down the car shut down, there wasn't any electrical to anything.

I own a 2011 Dodge Challenger that was purchased brand new off the show room floor in the latter part of 2011. I was leaving work on this Sunday and pulled out of the parking lot to merge into traffic. Within five or ten minutes of having pulled off my car began a complete shut down. The windows wouldn't go up or down. The power steering went out. The radio and lights all went black. Also the car cut off completely while I was driving!!!! I nearly caused a major accident in the middle of a busy intersection. Luckily the surrounding drivers were paying attention and did not hit me. Im mortified with this experience. My car is only three years old and I'm currently paying a nearly $600 note on it. It's so unacceptable and to make matters worse, when I contacted Dodge, the only recourse they advised was to contact the dealer and have the repairs done and apply for reimbursement whenever the recall is announced. When I asked if they would be willing to have a dealer come pick up the car as it is currently inoperable, they said that the towing fees would be my responsibility as well & probably would not be reimbursed. The customer service reps both times I called were of little or no help at all and seemed genuinely unconcerned that my vehicle cut off while I was driving!!! my call to the dealership was the same. I have had all maintenance for my vehicle performed at the Dodge dealership from oil changes to tire replacement. I've been a loyal customer & even done referrals for the dealership. This is by far the worst experience I've had with any car company and I am so disappointed. I will never purchase anything else from the Chrysler brand. I noticed the recall even includes the cars they are currently selling on the lots (2014 models) so please beware and warn anyone you know to stay away from Chrysler & its products. They dont care about you or your safety.
