2011 Dodge Challenger owner complaints

My 2011 Dodge charger v8 has less than 45k miles and my alternator went out this week, I did research to find out there is a recall but only on the v6 engine, not the v8. The v6 and the v8 models have the same 160amp alternator,both the models need to be added to the recall.

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.

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

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.

Strange noise coming from engine , resulting in power failure. I was able to pull over to a gas station and call aaa. Aaa gave my battery a jump but they told me that the alternator is dying and unable to recharge battery. Looks like there's a recall for 3.6l engine for alternators, but I have a r/t v8 and I'm having the same issue. This should also be included in the recall as this is dangerous and sounds like the exact same issue .

160/180 amp alternators recall t36 has been out for 6 months and there is still no update from fca or dealers on when parts will arrive. What is the next step for something that can result in my car and 1.3 million others from possibly catching fire or losing power as the recall says. I'm just looking for an update. Mahalo

Vehical shut down in stages, windows-air conditioner-radio-transmission, then power steering. No warning. *tr

Takata inflators no remedy/replacement for defective airbags. Have called dealer 3 times since receiving recall notice and have been told that Chrysler/Dodge does not have a replacement.

I had the dealership fix a recall (N9C07) for the passenger seat wiring harness connector for the passenger side airbag a while back. My airbag warning lamp turned on recently and my mechanic told me it was that same issue that the recall was supposed to fix. I was told by the dealer that since this was replaced once already, they refused to replace it again. This is a major safety concern if the passenger side airbag does not deploy correctly. It is outrageous that their part is malfunctioning at no fault of my own and they refuse to fix it.

I nearly was killed today getting off highway I-10 when my entire car shut down. The entire electrical system failed ABS, esp, bas, traction lighting all came on - power steering did not work- completely shut down with no recourse finally coasted to park in the garage close by on a downhill exit. I was fortunate enough to find an exit to the parking lot and literally coasted in without power steering or any electrical and was afraid the brakes would not work to even stop the car. Fortunately, it coasted and stopped. Previously received an alternator recall notice from Dodge, but was told they did not have any parts available to fix this vehicle. I had no idea that meant my entire car would die on the highway without the ability to even steer. *js
