ENGINE, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WHEN IN PARK FOR A FEW MINUTES, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WILL DIM, THEN THE ENGINE SOUNDS A LITTLE ROUGH FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS. WITHIN A FEW OF MINUTES OF THAT HAPPENING, THE ENGINE WILL TURN OFF BY ITSELF. IT'S HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. I CHANGED THE AIR FILTER AND USED FUEL INJECTION CLEANER. HOWEVER, IT DID IT AGAIN ABOUT A WEEK OR TWO LATER. I'M WONDERING IF THE ALTERNATOR IS GOING BAD. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS 3/5/2020

STEERING
THE POWER STEERING FLUID EVAPORATES IN THE RESERVOIR (THE DODGE DEALER TOLD ME THIS AFTER I HAD THE FLUID CHECKED AND FILLED IN 2018 BECAUSE OF STEERING PROBLEM) AND CAUSES THE STEERING TO BECOME VERY RIGID WITH QUICK TURNING. I HAD TO MAKE A SUDDEN QUICK RIGHT TURN TO AVOID A CAR IN FRONT OF ME (LOCAL STREET) AND THE CAR WOULD NOT TURN AS I NEEDED. THE STEERING GROANED. THE STEERING FELT VERY DANGEROUS AND THIS WAS TOTALLY UNEXPECTED. I AM HAVING IT SERVICED THIS WEEK AGAIN TO CHECK THE STEERING FLUID.*DT THE CONSUMER HAD A SECOND OPINON WHO ADVISED THE POWER STEERING FLUID WAS LEAKING. *JS

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
MY 2014 DODGE CHALLENGER DIES WHEN I'M DRIVING IT. THE MOST RECENT WAS WHEN I WAS DRIVING DOWNHILL ON A WINDING MOUNTAIN ROAD. IT DIED, AND THERE WAS NO PLACE TO GET OFF THE ROAD. WHEN IT DIES, THE LIGHTS, POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES ALL QUIT. VERY DANGEROUS!!! THE DEALER COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ON THE INTERNET, AND DODGE IS DOING NOTHING TO FIX THIS. LIKE ME, OTHERS HAVE TAKEN THEIR CARS TO DEALERS, AND THEY FIND NOTHING WRONG. SOMETHING IS VERY WRONG! DODGE NEEDS TO GET BUSY AND FIX THIS MOST DANGEROUS DEFECT BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. *JS

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE WINDOW HAS SMART GLASS. THERE IS A SENSOR IN THE DOOR WHICH ALLOWS THE WINDOW TO AUTOMATICALLY SLIDE UP OR DOWN ABOUT 1\4 OF AN INCH SO THE DOOR CLOSES COMPLETELY. ABOUT 4 DAYS AGO THE WINDOW BEGAN SLIDING UP AND DOWN ON ITS OWN AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF. I THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS ACTING UP DUE TO AN OLD BATTERY SO I BOUGHT A NEW ONE BUT THE WINDOW STILL SLIDES UP AND DOWN ON ITS OWN CONSTANTLY BUT ONLY WHEN THE CAR IS OFF. I HAVE TO LEAVE THE WINDOW ROLLED DOWN A FEW INCHES TO MAKE IT STOP. I HAVE READ REVIEWS WHERE OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH SOME OLDER MODELS AND EVEN AFTER REPLACING THEIR WINDOW SENSOR THE SAME PROBLEM STILL CONTINUED.

SERVICE BRAKES
THE FOLLOWING OCCURRED DURING NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS OVER A PERIOD OF TWO WEEKS WITH WARNING LIGHTS ON: VEHICLE DISPLAYED ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHTS SIMULTANEOUSLY. THEN SUDDENLY THE CAR, AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR. LOCAL DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPT STATED THE COMPUTER SENSED BRAKE MALFUNCTION AND CAUSED A "LIMP MODE" CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION NOT TO SHIFT. THIS IS SO THE CAR WOULD NOT REACH NORMAL SPEEDS BECAUSE THE BRAKES WERE MALFUNCTIONING. DEALER SHOP REPORTS SPEED SENSORS ON BRAKES FAILED DUE TO EXCESSIVE HEAT. THIS IS ODD BECAUSE INVOICE REPORTS THE REAR SENSORS FAILED WHEN NORMALLY THE MAJORITY OF BRAKING, PRODUCING HEAT, IS FROM THE FRONT BRAKES. RESULTING REPAIRS INCLUDED REPLACING BOTH FRONT ROTORS AND LEFT FRONT CALIPER AND BOTH REAR SPEED SENSORS, AND FLUSHING FLUID ALL DUE TO EXCESSIVE HEAT. THIS IS A CONTRADICTION THAT THEY REPORT THE REAR SPEED SENSORS FAILED. PERHAPS A CLERICAL ERROR. ALL IS DOCUMENTED ON ED VOLYES CHRYSLER DODGE DEALERSHIP SERVICE INVOICE # 883127, IN MARIETTA, GA. SEARCHING THE INTERNET SHOWS NUMEROUS BRAKE FAILURE STORIES DUE TO SPEED SENSORS IN THIS MAKE AND MODEL CAR. SOME ARE EASILY "NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCES". I CAN ONLY HOPE THEY FILED NHTSA REPORTS AS WELL. FINAL SYSTEMS FAILURE OCCURRED ON MAY 27TH. WE'VE HAD LENGTHY EXPERIENCE WITH MUCH OLDER ANTILOCK CARS OF OTHER MAKES WITH NO HINT OF FAILURE LIKE THIS ! I FAIL TO SEE WHY A CRITICAL FAILURE SUCH AS THIS WOULD BE ACCEPTABLE ON ANY SAFETY STANDARDS.
