Description of the problem | While driving this car on the highway with the windows open, the drivers window suddenly went up almost catching my sons arm in the window. The window continued to go up and down all on its own. Eventually it stopped and did not happen again. However it appears that during the night the window started moving on its own and eventually killed the battery. In researching i found that the 2011 challengers had a smart glass problem, exactly like this, but it was only on builds before march 2011 and this car was july 2011. I fear that during the night if this happens while parked in garage it could possible overheat motor and cause fire. Or trap my sons arm in window while driving. |
