As of march 2020 my car has just gone down hill. It started with the engine not heating and cooling properly, I spent over $1300 getting it fixed a few months later my day time running lights will not turn off after 10 minutes the factory automatic shut off will happen and the lights will go off, because of that I had to have my battery replaced. Now my AC just stopped working it no longer blows cold air. I've had a diagnostic done on the car and they can't figure out what the problem is, spoke to other people who have the same car and they all say the same thing has happened to them and no one knows whats the problem is.

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.
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.

Exterior lights flash constantly when car is parked and turned off. Sometimes the lights don't flash, they simply will not turn off at all after car is turned off.

Nowadays the interior lights flash constantly as well when the car is turned on. No recall has been issues on this VIN but this 4 year old car with 65000 miles has been worked on 6 times in just the last two years due to countless issues that include the worst and most persistent issue, being the faulty lighting. Other issues include the oxygen sensor malfunctioning resulting in the engine rattling when slowing down or accelerating and high fuel consumption ( a full gas tank would be empty within three days driving locally in a five mile radius) as well as traction control failing resulting in near accidents.

Abs and traction control light came on after starting the car. A few days later, the lights are still on but is making a loud clicking sound when making tight right turns. Day after the clicking, the check engine light came on while driving 45 MPH. The car was still on but with no acceleration. Pressing on the gas peddle would rev the engine with no progress. I stopped the car, turned it off and checked my fluids under the hood. All looked fine. After restarting the car, it would run then lose acceleration again. Car then became unresponsive and towed to the dealer. The dealer has had the car for 2 days and still don't know what is wrong. Service adviser said the car is not "communicating." I am currently paying for a rental out of pocket. Fca said there are no recalls based on my VIN. Based on my research, it sounds like the p60/alternator recall.

Engine will stall out and then rapidly accelerate. Recall for faulty alternator released in june. There has yet to be a remedy offered to fix it.
My vehicle is apart of the t36 recall for faulty alternators; my alternator died last friday while I was driving it on the road, I was able to get to a safe place before it actually died, but due to there being no "genuine parts" available I am stuck paying for a rental. I am active duty air force stationed in england, and the garage on base can order a new alternator and install it, but I have been told by the mopar certified garage off base that since the part is not a genuine part then I am unable to receive a reimbursement. I verified this with the military auto sales main office in germany and was told that I could still submit the receipts with hopes of being reimbursed. Before I tell the garage on raf lakenheath to go ahead with ordering the part I wanted to hear from this office if I will be reimbursed or not. Keep in mind my only mode of transportation is dead and I am paying for a rental out of pocket, if the genuine parts were to become available within the next week I could hold out and wait but the longer I wait the more it seems like just taking the part that is available is the cheaper option as there is no date on when genuine parts will become available. Thank you, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

This morning while I was driving down a curvy dark country road at about 60 miles per hour, the car just shut off, all power was lost. Lights and everything. Lost power steering, power brakes, all lighting. We were very lucky we did not crash, but this issue is very dangerous. I believe that this vehicle should be included in the following recall as it describes specifically what happened to my vehicle. P60/the federal safety agency 14v‑634
