general problems of the 2011 Dodge Challenger - part 2

Air blend actuator failed, makes ticking noise when car is unlocked and/or when changing indside/outside air and sometimes during driving and/or temperature changes or humidity changes in the air.

I was returning to work from lunch and I was driving south in the company parking lot going no faster than 5-10 mph. I started to make a right turn into a parking space so that I could back into the parking space directly behind it. As I started to make the turn I took my foot off the gas and placed it on the brake so I could come to a complete stop before I backed up into the space behind me. As I had my foot on the brake the car accelerated on its own and because I had no time to react the car plowed through a tree, some heavy vegetation and down an embankment. There was significant damage to the front of the car, as a result of the impact with the tree, which caused the entire bumper to fall off and destroyed. Yet, the airbags, which were recalled and already "serviced" once before, never deployed.

I was driving down the highway going back home when I suddenly saw the battery light come on. After a few seconds all lights in dash board came on. Then the steering wheel got stuck/locked and couldnt steer left or right. Thats when I was afraid I would get into an accident. But im glad I got off the highway safely and got my car towed back home. A bad smell was coming from the engine bay and saw the alt. Was pretty burnt. I took it to the nearest shop and got my alt. Replaced. Now its Jan. 5 2015 and the battery light still comes on occasionally, I just hope the car doesnt shut down on me again on the highway where I know that next time I might not be as lucky and get into a really bad accident. I just want this problem fixed and wish Dodge can take care of their issues before it gets worse.

The contact owns a 2011 Dodge Challenger. The contact stated that while driving at an unknown speed, all of the warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the air bags were replaced however, the failure recurred multiple times. The contact received NHTSA campaign number:14v634000 (electrical system). The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 3,000.

Started at about two to three months while stopped to make turn, the computer reset. It noted tire pressure low and air bag light. This computer problem has happened at least six to eight times. Also, at least six to eight times, the car will not detect key fob and this has happened numerous times after new batteries in key fobs with new batteries. Car also died while stopped at light and when re-started it only had half the power. I 'limped' it home to avoid getting stranded. When re-started it was alright, but I continue to have computer and electrical problems. After the car stalled, it would flash the lights numerous times when the key fob was near the car in my pocket of sweat pants with nothing else in my pocket and nothing pushing the key fob. Problems increasing over time and I noticed Challenger had numerous complaints for key fob and electrical problems. I just took the car in for a recall regarding the outside door sensor keyless entry. Car has been to dealer about three times for these electrical related problems. The first time they re-set the computer. The second time the dealer could not replicate the 'key fob not detected' issue. This time it had the keyless entry problem and the dealer refused to even write down that the car stalled in traffic which was on a state highway.

I drive a 2011 Dodge Challenger srt-8. It has only 300 miles on it. I was driving it off the highway and was making a right turn off the exit. Suddenly the vehicles engine and electrical power all shutdown. Luckily the car behind me swerved out of the way or we both surely would of died. I could not even pull over. Once I put it in park I was able to restart it. I checked online and several websites list this very same complaint. The dealer said they are "unaware" of the issue and can do nothing about it. Dodge does not even acknowledge this issue for anybody. This is scary as [xxx] and will get someone killed. Please help. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.
