SEATS
BEARINGS STARTED FALLING OUT, WHICH ALLOWS THE SEAT TO SLIDE FORWARD AND BACKWARDS. WITHOUT THESE BEARINGS THE SEAT WILL NO LONGER SLIDE FORWARD OR BACKWARDS, WHEN AN ADJUSTMENT IS NEEDED. HOWEVER, WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED, THE SEAT WILL SLIDE FORWARD FOR NO REASON, OR WHEN I ACCELERATE THE SEAT WILL SLIDE BACKWARDS. MY MOM'S KNEES WERE DAMAGED DURING A MINOR COLLISION BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. SHE IS IN HER 80'S. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING AND MAY THRUST SOMEONE FORWARD DURING AN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. MY AIRBAG DIDN'T DEPLOY AS I WAS ABLE TO BRAKE AND THIS WAS DURING A RIGHT TURN AT A TRAFFIC SIGNAL, SO THERE WASN'T ENOUGH SPEED TO DEPLOY THE AIRBAGS.

THE VEHICLE IS A DODGE CHALLENGER SUPPOSED TO BE AN SXT ON THE CAR FAX BUT IN PERSON THE MOTOR IS NOT A SXT THIS VEHICLE HAS NO ORIGINAL PARTS OF DODGE. THE CHALLENGER HAS AFTERMARKET WIRES, HEADLIGHTS FROM ASIA, AND WIRES EVERY BY THE MOTOR WHERE OPEN WIRES SHOULD NOT SUPPOSED TO BE WITCH IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE OFF THE LOT. THE CHALLENGER AIRBAGS PLUS OTHER MECHANICAL MECHANICS ISSUES WAS REPORTED FROM BRANDON DODGE DEALERSHIP WITCH QLD WAS AWARE OF AND DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE BEFORE SELLING ME THE DODGE CHARGER EVEN MY SEATBELTS IS UNSAFE. THE MONTH OF JANUARY, 2020 I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ON THE INTERSTATE AND MY CAR JUST SHUT OFF I HAD TO DRIVE TO AUTOZONE I GOT A NEW BATTERY THAT SAME MONTH I APPROACHED THE MANAGER OF QLD AND INFORMED HIM WITH EVERYTHING THAT'S GOING ON WITH THE VEHICLE THE MANAGER RESPONDED THAT'S A PERSONAL MATTER AND I WAS LEFT ON MY ON TO CARE OF THIS CAR THAT I CAN NOT AFFORD TO FIX A AND PAY FOR MONTHLY VEHICLE THAT IS NOT RELIABLE.

I FEEL THAT THIS COMPANY IS JUST LOOKING FOR A DOLLAR AND DO NOT CARE ABOUT WHAT TYPE OF DANGEROUS UNSAFE HAZARDOUS VEHICLES THEY ARE SELLING TO CUSTOMERS WHO ARE UNAWARE OF THESE ISSUES.

MY WINDOW GOES UP AND DOWN ABOUT 1/4 INCH ON ITS OWN EVERY 10 SECONDS. THIS IS STARTED ON ITS OWN. I HAVE A 2013 DODGE CHALLENGER RT. DUE DO THE WINDOW CONSISTENTLY GOING UP AND DOWN ON ITS OWN, IT CAUSES THE BATTERY TO GO DEAD MEANING I HAVE TO JUMP MY CAR TO GET IT STARTED. I HAVE CALLED THE CHRYSLER RECALL CENTER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT IS INDEED A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE HOWEVER, WHEN I BRING MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAY DON'T FIND ANY RECALLS FOR THIS ISSUE. I CALLED CHRYSLER BACK WHILE AT THE DEALERSHIP AND TO MY SURPRISE ANOTHER REPRESENTATIVE TELLS ME THEY DON'T SEE ANY RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLE. KEEP IN MIND SOMEONE ELSE FROM THE RECALL CENTER TOLD ME DIFFERENT. PLEASE MAKE THIS RECALL OFFICIAL. MOST PEOPLE WILL NOT REPORT BUT THERE IS SURELY AN INFLUX IN THE PURCHASES OF CONTROL MODULE SWITCHES THAT SHOULD RAISE A RED FLAG

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
UNFAIR MONETARY HARM TO CUSTOMERS DUE TO DEFECTIVE PART. SAME ISSUE AS MANY HAVE MENTIONED ON HERE WITH DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW REPEATEDLY GOING UP AND DOWN WITHOUT STOPPING WHILE STATIONARY WITH CAR OFF, WHICH DRAINS THE BATTERY AND YOU CAN'T STOP IT. MY 2013 CHALLENGER HAD A BAD WINDOW LATCH, CAUSING THE BATTERY TO DIE (LEFT STRANDED). HAD TO PAY $300 OUT OF POCKET FOR DEALER TO REPLACE LATCH FOR 'SMART GLASS' THAT ISN'T NECESSARY. RECALL ALREADY ISSUED ON THE 2011S, YET RECALLS HAVEN'T BEEN ISSUED FOR NEWER MODELS DESPITE SAME PROBLEMS. I'M THANKFUL FOR NHTSA AND HOPING DODGE IS HELD ACCOUNTABLE.
