ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY PASSENGER DOOR LATCH WENT OUT. THERE'S A RECALL FOR 2011 CHALLENGERS BUT NOT 2010. MY 2010 HAS THE SAME ISSUES AS THE 2011 RECALLS. I HAD TO REPLACE MY DOOR LATCH BECAUSE MY WINDOW KEPT JUMPING UP AND DOWN WHILE MY CAR WAS OFF AND KILLED MY BATTERY. MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP HAD NO IDEA HOW TO FIX IT OR WHAT WAS CAUSING MY WINDOW TO JUMP UP AND DOWN. I HAD TO TELL THEM I READ ONLINE THAT THE LATCH WAS THE ISSUE. AFTER REPLACING THE LATCH THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED BUT TWO WEEKS LATER I ROLLED MY WINDOW DOWN WHILE DRIVING AND IT WILL NOT COME BACK UP. OF THE 2011 CHALLENGERS HAVE THE RECALL WHY DOESN'T THE 200 HAVE THE SAME RECALL BECAUSE THEY ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
A RECALL WAS PERFORMED IN 2015 REGARDING A TIMING CHAIN FAILURE. THIS CAR SAT IN A DEALER LOT FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND RARELY DRIVE IT. A TIMING CHAIN FAILURE STALLED ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSTATE. A CHRONIC ISSUE ACCORDING TO MOST FORUMS, EVEN AFTER THE RECALL WAS PERFORMED. THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 73,000 MILES ON IT AND SHOULD NOT HAVE FAILED REGARDLESS OF MONTHS,OF THE FACT THAT IT WAS MORE THAN 24 MONTHS. IT IS A VERY LOW MILEAGE CAR FOR THE YEAR AND THIS IS ON ONGOING ISSUE FROM THESE VEHICLES FROM 2009-2012.

SERVICE BRAKES
THERE ARE NO PARTS WORLD WIDE TO REPAIR THE ABS BRAKE MODULE .PART # 68067398AB. I HAVE CONTACTED DODGE SRT DEPARTMENT @(855)778 8326 CASE # 35139693 AND TRIED FOR 2 MONTHS TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. I RECEIVED A CALL TODAY STATING THE PART WAS NO LONGER MADE AND THERE IS NO DEALER WHO CAN SUPPLY THE PART TO MAKE THE REPAIR. THEY WOULD NO LONGER BE WORKING THIS CASE AND COULD /WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO HELP WITH THE ISSUE. WE DID KEEP THE RECORDING OF THIS CALL AS IT WAS LEFT ON OUR VOICE MAIL. THIS IS PART OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM AND ALSO CONTROLS THE ANTI SKID SYSTEM PUTTING THE DRIVER AT RISK OF NOT BEING ABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR .
