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.

Pulled my car out of the garage, started washing her. The wire above the drivers visor shorted and caught the interior on fire. Thank god I did not hop on the road but was washing the car. 3 months later, still do not have the car as dodge stops making headliners and we have been unable to find one at a junkyard.

A battery light came on my dash, a few minutes later several indicator flashed on (the ABS, the brake, and esp/bas flashed on and my vehicle powered off completely while driving on the highway. This is extremeley dangerous and have been reading this is a known problem on dodge models. How can this be corrected?! If this is a repeat problem, why isn't it yet a recall? The car is just shutting off while driving with no warning.

Car shuts off when slowing down to make a turn
My car lost complete power while turning in a residential area. The vehicle is dead and will not start. The vehicle shut down with no warning. This is a couple months after having a timing chain recall repair. Did the chain fail anyway?
Tried to start the car and all the dash lights, interior lights and radio worked just fine. Got someone to give me a jump and it started right up so I went and bought a new battery and that worked for about 3 days then the exact same thing happened again. This time I took it straight to the local dodge dealership and after 2 1/2 days they say it's the total integrated power module, or the tipm.

Takata recall (s43 - 16v‑352, july 1, 2016) - "the front passenger airbag inflator housing may rupture while deploying during a crash. The potential for such ruptures may occur in some of the subject airbag inflators after several years of exposure to persistent conditions of high absolute humidity and/or heat aging. In the event of a front passenger airbag inflator rupture, metal fragment(s) could pass through the airbag cushion material, which may result in additional injury or death to vehicle occupants." I own a 2010 dodge challenger and am still waiting to have this recall fixed. There was a similar recall on this vehicle july 14, 2015 (r37 / 15v‑444) -"the driver airbag inflator housing in your vehicle may rupture, due to excessive internal pressure, during normal airbag deployment events. This condition is more likely to occur if your vehicle has been exposed to high levels of absolute humidity for extended periods of time. The inflator could rupture with metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants potentially resulting in serious injury or death." an inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants resulting in serious injury or death. This is my only vehicle that I use to transport my teenager and toddler. I am at risk every day when I am driving my vehicle. Knowing that this serious problem exists and cannot be fixed is extremely unsettling. How many more injuries and deaths is it going to take before action is taken???
Driving at night, I turn on the head lights and dash lights, they blink and go really dim! Then I turn on the blinker it gets worst. Sitting at a light same thing.
Owner vehicle electrical issue car will start and after 10 of 15 minutes of use will not re-start . Also , if I do not use the vehicle for a couple of days , the car appears to have no electrical power , I have to manually open the car door w/key, no dash lights and will not start .. When I took the car to have the battery tested . It was low but still good.. If I boost it. It starts right up unless I've been using it a while then it will not start until after it's been sitting a couple of hours . I replaced the starter relay fuse. But it's still doing the same thing . I also saw smoke and smelled something like wires burning from the direction of the alternator ? Other unexplained and /or possibly related occurrences driver side window will roll down about 1 inch for not reason .. Dash instrument panel lit up and all indicators as well .. I don't have time to fool with it right now. So I have a car I can't trust to drive me anywhere . Please help . I've been reading a lot about this vehicle trying to figure out what's the problem and noticed 2011 models have a recall on the alternator causing similar problems ? This all started happening right after I had taken it in for a air bag recall .. Not sure if that's the problem , could be a coincidences

Purchased new in 11/2010. 2 years into ownership, on about 4 occurances, engine would shut off, loose steering control and brakes at the same time while making a slow right hand turn. Problem disappeared and thought it was a fluke of some kind. Now 3 years later it has started doing it again every time I drive it. When the engine dies you can barely steer and have to really pull hard on the steering wheel to keep from going into oncoming traffic. Brakes do not function properly either, you loose all power braking and it is very difficult to stop. I have searched the internet for this issue extensively. What I have found is about a hundred other different individuals on several forum sites describing exactly the same problem. Nobody had an answer to the problem and found just as many different things that people said were wrong ranging from ECM failure to several different modules and loose connections. When it first started it would only occur when slowing down and making a right hand turn. Now it does it at any time no matter whether sitting in a parking lot or driving on the street. You have to turn the key all the way off and then turn it back on to start it and there is always a delay from the time you do that till the time it responds. This is a very dangerous safety issue and a recall should be done as so many people have had the same issue without it ever being clearly understood what was causing the problem.
I was driving my car in traffc and the car just shut down and it would not crank up ,I had to have it towed, because the gas pedal is not pumping gas into tthe car.and the key gets stuck in the ignition. Chrysler says its the acc pedal sensor
My son was driving on a busy road in the city going strait ahead and noticed the battery light had come on, very quickly he then noticed smoke coming from the front of the car, under the hood. Fortunately he was able to quickly exit the roadway and get into a parking lot. He opened the hood and more smoke came out. He called me (his father) and explained the situation. I asked if it was on fire and cautioned him to get back and to let it cool down. He let it cool down and attempted to restart the car. The car had no electrical power at this time. Door locks and trunk latch would not function. After putting the key in the ignition and realizing the car was completely dead he attempted to remove the key from the ignition and the car would not release the key, therefore he was forced to leave the key in the car unattended and eventually towed for service. I have concerns about the safety of this situation given that if he would not have been able to exit quickly the car could have caught fire or completely lost power/control while he was stuck in the roadway. Apparently the car alternator got hot enough to destroy it and the battery. After searching the internet there are numerous reports of this same problem and subsequent recall of later year models of this exact same alternator with a slightly different engine model(the federal safety agency 14v‑634) recall number p-60 alternator. I have called dodge/chrysler and filed reports/complaints with them. I have attached repair invoice confirming the issue explained. I believe this vehicle should fall under the same recall as later year models due to unsafe and dangerous potential of mechanical failure. Thank you
