About a week or two ago I remote started my vehicle with the factory remote starter. I entered the vehicle which was stationary, pushed the start button to complete the activation. The vehicle started and ran normally, about a minute or two later the vehicle idled roughly and shutoff, all the dashboard cluster lights and side mirror proximity lights came on. The push button was also illuminated in the "run" position. I tried to push the start button and nothing happened, I tried to open my drivers door and it would not open as the window would not roll down to allow me to open the door (frame less door), if I had forced the door open the window would have broke. I was stuck inside my vehicle which was stationary and not in drive. I then pressed the unlock function on the key fob and the car made all the noises to unlock, I again tried opening the door and the window would not roll down. I then tried pushing the start button and the button would not come out of "run" mode. I pressed the lock function on the key fob, the vehicle made all the noises of locking (horn, flashing lights, actuator noise for lock) but the door still would not open as the window would not roll down; the vehicle start button was still in "run" mode. I pressed the lock and unlock button a few more times until I was finally able to open the door. Once the door was open I continue pressing the lock/unlock button on the key fob, the vehicle finally let me push the start button to take it out of "run" mode. Once the vehicle went "off" I was able to start it by pushing the start button. On may 22, 2018 I took the vehicle to gresham Dodge dealership, they ran a quick diagnostic and said there was no event stored, that I would have to let it happen again before they could do anything.

I received a call from the car dealer (darcars Chrysler Jeep of rockville, MD) that I purchased my vehicle from on 19 March 2013. I was told that my car was recalled for a safety issue. The problem is the engine starter positive terminal on my vehicle could short to ground and cause an electrical fire. An electrical fire could occur at any time regardless whether the vehicle is running or is in the key off position. As of 22 March 2013, there is no fix issued by the manufacturer. Furthermore, they (the dealership) can not give me a date when I will receive my automobile back.
I am wondering who Dodge is lying to NHTSA or the consumer. I got a phone call from Dodge customer care on 3/18/2013. A customer care person advised to stop driving the Challenger as there was a possible issue with fire hazard. Dodge indicated that there was no fix, but had to take the car to the dealership. I have called the dealership every day and they indicate that no fix has been issued by Chrysler and do not know how long it will take to find a fix. I call the customer care center and they have no clue what the fix is or time frame. I looked at your website and the recall notice indicates that the wiring to the starter is going to be replace. This is not what the Dodge customer care told me or the dealership. Either fraud is going on here or Chrysler is trying to cover themselves. I need an answer to fix my car.
