MY DRIVER SIDE WINDOW CONSTANTLY ROLLS UP AND DOWN AND IT DRAINS MY BATTERY IN MOMENTS. I DONT KNOW IF MY ALTERNATOR IS GOING BACK BECAUSE EVEN AFTER I REPLACED MY BATTERY 2 TIMES IT TAKES FOREVER TO JUMP MY CAR OFF. I DONT UNDERSTAND HOW A FAULTY WINDOW CAN CAUSE THIS

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
BATTERY WAS REPLACED BECAUSE IT WENT DEAD. LOST POWER STEERING. WINDOWS GOING UP AND DOWN ON THEIR OWN RUNNING DOWN NEW BATTERY. FOUND FUSE THAT RUNS SIDE MIRRORS AND POWER STEERING TO BE GOOD BUT IS SHOWING THE FUSE BOX TO BE GROUNDING OUT WHEN FUSE IS REMOVED. I HAVE HEARD OF ALOT OF ISSUES WITH THE WINDOWS ON THIS CAR. NOBODY CAN SEEM TO LOCATE THE PROBLEM. THE CAR WAS SITTING STILL AND ENGINE NOT TURNED ON. IF I LEAVE WINDOWS OPEN, WEATHER DAMAGE IS DONE. DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITHOUT POWER STEERING. AFRAID IT MIGHT CATCH ON FIRE DUE TO THE GROUNDING OUT. THERE ARE NO RECALLS REFERRING TO THIS ISSUE. WHY AND WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT GETTING THIS RESOLVED WHEN MECHANICS CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM?

TAKATA RECALL. ON MY 2012 DODGE CHALLENGER SRT8 MODEL WITH THE AUTOMATIC 6.4L V8 ENGINE THE ALTERNATOR JUST RANDOMLY SHORT CIRCUITED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. LUCKILY I WAS DRIVING VERY SLOWLY AT THAT MOMEMT WHEN IT INICIALLY OCCURRED. I WAS ON A RESIDENCIAL STREET THEN THE VEHICLE JUST COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS ALL STARTED TO FLASH ASWELL AS THE STEREO MONITOR WAS FLASHING VERY AKWARDLY. THE VEHICLE NO LONGER TURNED ON & HAD TO BE MANUALLY PLACED INTO NEUTRAL TO BE PUSHED HOME. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START EVEN WITH A JUMP. IF THE BATTERY GETS CHARGED UP INDEPENDENTLY DISCONNECTED FROM THE VEHICLE IT WILL ONLY GIVE IT ENOUGH POWER TO START UP FOR JUST A MOMENT. IT HAS BE DETERMINED BY THE DELEARSHIP THAT IT IS THE ALTERNATOR. I CAME ACROSS A PUBLIC FORUM THAT SOME DODGE CHALLENGER MODELS FROM YEARS 2011 TO 2014 HAVE HAD THE ALTERNATOR RECALLED, BUT THIS VIN HAS NOT BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH THAT RECALL. I HAVE A STRONG FEELING THAT IT SHOULD BE. ESPECIALLY SINCE THIS HAPPENED JUST AS DESCRIBED FOR THE MODELS THAT HAVE HAD THIS RECALL. ALTERNATOR WITHOUT WARNING HAS FAILED ON THE VEHICLE.
