2012 Dodge CHALLENGER Electrical System Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1378733
Internal NHTSA #	10986277
Manufacurer	Chrysler (FCA US LLC)
Brand	DODGE
Model	CHALLENGER
Model Year	2012
File date	15/05/17
Component	ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The driver side window repeatedly moves up and down un-commanded. This happens when the vehicle is driven or stationary and causes the battery to be drained overnight. This issue was noted by chrysler on the 2011 challenger and addressed in the "customer satisfaction notification m24 smart glass switch". The same issues are present on the 2012 challenger as evident in the amount nhtsa complaints filed against this vehicle (or a quick search on google for "smart glass switch issues"). However, they refuse to include these models in their distributor/dealer service instructions regarding m24 when they were only manufactured a few months apart and likely were assembled using the same faulty parts. So far, i was forced to pay out of pocket for a new battery, and will soon have to pay for the replacement smart glass switches and labor.
