WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, I OBSERVED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOWS MOVED UP AND DOWN WITHOUT BEING PROMPTED. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. AND IT HAS DRAINED A BATTER THAT COST ME 200.00 DOLLARS

I own this piece of crap. It stalled on the freeway and I almost crashed. Took it to the dealershi op in kirkland wa and they said it wasn't the alternator and told me to come pick it up or they will tow it. Worst experience ever. If I wasn't a man of Christ I would do some bad things to those idiot service people that work for them. Do not buy a dodge!!!! Worst service ever.

Do you drive a 2012 DODGE CHALLENGER?

Just because a car has been recalled does not mean it is not a reliable car. Millions of cars get recalled every year. Recalls often involve problems that are rare but could cause a serious problem if they occur. So the risk to any given driver is often remote, even though there may be a few high-profile incidents traced to the problem.
