2012 Dodge Challenger owner complaints

Driving to work. Car starts to make a whining noise then the ABS and stability control lights come on, I drive the car up the road a little more and the radio turns off and the gauges start to move erratically and then the car just died, completely in the middle of the road, when the hood was raised you could clearly smell something burning. Car taken to the dealership where I am told that the "parts to provide a permanent remedy for this condition are not currently available". I was told by the dealership that the alternator would be replaced with a new one but it would fall into the same category as the recall. I got the car home and while reading the repair paperwork realize that the alternator was not replaced just "repaired and replaced". Very upset and scared to drive this vehicle! N

On november 1st I was driving on the highway and my driver side window kept going up and down about 3-4 inches by itself and would repeat it over and over. Now my car when it is parked and locked the driver side window goes up and down by itself until it drains my battery dead..

My dashboard is flickering. My speedometer sometimes drops to zero and then back to the original speed. My headlights also flicker. When I'm behind another car at night, I see them moving as if I have speakers in the truck.

Driver side window going up and down and it drained my battery. Now I have to pay 500 dollars to get the door latch fixed because it's 'bad'. It's an electrical problem that obviously is happening to many people. Please do a recall on this problem!
