DRIVER SIDE WINDOW GOES UP AND DOWN ABOUT EVERY 10-12 SECONDS WHEN I PARKED IN DRIVEWAY. CAR POWER IS OFF AND NO ONE IN CAR. STARTED WHERE DRIVER WINDOW WOULD NOT CLOSE ALL THE WAY WHEN DOOR SHUTS. LASTED ABOUT 10 DAYS. I DID NOT DRIVE IT AS I AM A DISABLED VET AND COULD NOT CLIMB OVER PASSENGER SEAT TO GET OUT, OR TO LET WINDOW UP AFTER DOOR IS CLOSED. MOBILITY/FLEXIBILITY NOT GOOD. RAINY SEASON IN FLA. FINALLY DROVE IT, WINDOW BEGAN MAKING CLICKING SOUND. GOT HOME, GOT OUT OF CAR, CLOSED DOOR AND WINDOW BEGAN GOING UP AND DOWN. CAR PARKED WITH PLASTIC BAG OVER IT. HAD TO LEAVE WINDOW PARTIALLY DOWN TO PREVENT FURTHER ISSUES OR BATTERY TO DRAIN. NOW CAR NOT SECURE FROM THEFT AND INTERIOR DAMAGE. IN SEARCH ONLINE, THIS IS COMMON PROBLEM FOR 2012 CHALLENGER AND RECALL ISSUED FOR 2011 CHALLENGER FOR SAME/SIMILAR PROBLEM. PROBLEM IS WIDESPREAD AND DODGE ANSWER IS TAKE TO SERVICE CENTER. SERVICE CENTER CHARGES MIN. $140.00 JUST TO DIAGNOSE THEN I'M SURE REPAIR COST IS HIGH ALSO. ITS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM AND DODGE NEEDS TO OWN IT. I JUST HOPE MY CAR IS NOT RUINED FROM THE DAILY RAIN/CONSTANT BAD WEATHER OR STOLEN OR INSIDE DAMAGED. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY RECALL IS NOT FOR ALL VEHICLES EFFECTED BY THIS ISSUE. ITS OBVIOUS IT IS RELATED AND VERY COMMON. CAR HAS 60200 MILES. OF COURSE HAPPENED JUST AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRED. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND FIXED ASAP. USE TO LOVE MY CAR, BUT NOW IT IS USELESS TO ME. BEEN INFORMED ALSO CAUSES BATTERY FAILURE. THAT'S NOT A GOOD THING TO HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING. PLEASE HELP. PLEASE LOOK INTO THE MANY COMPLAINTS AND ISSUE A RECALL. MAKE DODGE OWN THEIR FAULTS. SO NOW I'M PAYING FOR A $30,000 CAR I CANT DRIVE AND IS SITTING OUTSIDE WITH PLASTIC OVER IT.

SMART WINDOWS JUST BEGIN OPENING AND CLOSING ON THEIR OWN. WINDOWS WILL BE DOWN/WIDE OPEN AFTER SITTING WITH CAR COMPLETELY OFF ALL NIGHT LEAVING CAR UNSECURE TO BE STOLEN OR VANDALIZED, EVEN LEAVING BATTERY DEAD WHERE CAR WILL NOT START. WINDOWS ALSO MOVE UP AND DOWN WHILE DRIVING ON THEIR OWN. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM!

THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW REPEATEDLY MOVES UP AND DOWN UN-COMMANDED. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN OR STATIONARY AND CAUSES THE BATTERY TO BE DRAINED OVERNIGHT. THIS ISSUE WAS NOTED BY CHRYSLER ON THE 2011 CHALLENGER AND ADDRESSED IN THE "CUSTOMER SATISFACTION NOTIFICATION M24 SMART GLASS SWITCH". THE SAME ISSUES ARE PRESENT ON THE 2012 CHALLENGER AS EVIDENT IN THE AMOUNT NHTSA COMPLAINTS FILED AGAINST THIS VEHICLE (OR A QUICK SEARCH ON GOOGLE FOR "SMART GLASS SWITCH ISSUES"). HOWEVER, THEY REFUSE TO INCLUDE THESE MODELS IN THEIR DISTRIBUTOR/DEALER SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS REGARDING M24 WHEN THEY WERE ONLY MANUFACTURED A FEW MONTHS APART AND LIKELY WERE ASSEMBLED USING THE SAME FAULTY PARTS. SO FAR, I WAS FORCED TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR A NEW BATTERY, AND WILL SOON HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPLACEMENT SMART GLASS SWITCHES AND LABOR.

TRACKTION LIGHT CAME ON(LITTLE CAR WITH TIRE TRACKS) THEN DEAD, WON'T HOLD A CHARGE.EXCACT SAME THING IS HAPPING TO THOUSANDS. ALTERNATOR REPLACED @ DODGE/$1,000. THERE'S A RECALL, (P60) 2011-2014/DODGE CHALLENGER'S THE ALTERNATER 160 AMP IS DEFECTIVE! SO WHY DID I HAVE TO PAY???? BECAUSE (THEY) ARE ONLY REPLACING THEM ON 3.6 L ENGINES NOT 5.7 L LIKE MINE!SO I GUESS IT'S ONLY DEFECTIVE WHEN U HAVE A SMALLER ENGINE? I PAID MORE$ FOR MY ENGINE SO I GUESS THEY THINK A DEFECTIVE ALTERNATOR IS GOING TO SOME HOW WORK? WELL IT DOSNT! MY QUESTION IS DID THEY PUT THE NEW AND IMPROVED ALTERNATOR ON MINE? OR DO I JUST HAVE TO PRAY THIS ONE DOSNT GO OUT AGAIN, ON THE FREEWAY AGAIN AND CAUSE A HUGE ACCIDENT! EVER BEEN COMING DOWN THE GRAPEVINE AT 70 MPH AND YOUR CAR GOES DEAD? NO STEERING NO BRAKES, IT'S LIKE AN E TICKET RIDE AT DISNEYLAND😳SO IF U BUY A CHALLENGER MAKE SURE U GET 3.6L BECAUSE THEY REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE ALTERNATOR FOR FREE! IF YOU DON'T CAUSE AN ACCIDENT FIRST! NO ONE SEEMS TO B WORRIED ABOUT THIS, BUT IF U OWN A CHALLENGER BE CAREFUL....... I CAN'T REALLY ANSWER THE QUESTIONS ON FORM, THEY ARE YES AND NO,,,,,,,,, THIS WHOLE THING IS VERY GREY.

NEXT MORNING THEY CALLED AND SAID IT IS THE ALTERNATER AND IT'S $1000😳SO I ASKED IF THAT'S ALL THAT'S WRONG BECAUSE I KNOW THERE WERE BURNED OUT FUSES AND I WOULD THINK I WOULD NEED A NEW BATTERY . HE SAID I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE ALTERNATER BEFORE HE COULD CHECK TO SEE IF ANYTHING ELSE WAS WRONG,HMMMMMM I'VE CHECKED THE DODGE BLOG AND I CAN'T COUNT HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE EXCACT SAME THING HAPPEN TO THERE CHALLENGERS! I GUESS THERE GOING TO WAIT TILL ONE OF US GETS KILLED BEFORE THEY DO A RECALL ON WHAT EVER IS CAUSING THIS TO HAPPEN,BECAUSE IF UR ON THE FREEWAY AND IT DIES IT'S NO FUN AT 70 WITH NO BRAKES AND NO STEERING!,, I WAS ACTUALLY REAR ENDED AT A STOP LIGHT 6 MONTHS AGO, MAYBE THAT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH, BECAUSE I HAVE HAD ONE THING AFTER ANOTHER GO WRONG WITH THIS CAR SINCE THE ACCIDENT. BUT IF U ASK ANYONE IN THIS HILLBILLY TOWN I LIVE IN, THE RECK HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH ANY OF THE PROBLEMS MY CARS HAVING!

THE VEHICLE LOST COMPLETE POWER WHILE DRIVING, WAS TOLD IT WAS THE ALTERNATOR (WHICH WAS RECALLED). I HAD THAT FIXED AND A COUPLE DAYS AFTER THAT BOTH WINDOWS STARTED TO MALFUNCTION. THEY GO DOWN ABOUT A QUARTER INCH BY THEMSELVES WHILE THE CAR IS NOT RUNNING AND WHILE DRIVING. IT COMPLETELY DRAINS MY BATTERY AND THE VEHICLE WON'T START WITHOUT A JUMPER BOX OR JUMPER CABLES (EVERY TIME I TURN IT OFF.) I'VE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO FRANK SHOOP TWICE AND THEY CAN'T TELL ME WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT OR HAVE YET TO FIX IT. NOW IT'S STARTING TO STALL WHILE DRIVING AND THE HORN CONTINUES TO HONK WITHOUT BEING PROMPTED, THE BATTERY HAS TO DIE BEFORE THE HORN STOPS. THE RADIO HASN'T WORKED SINCE THE ALTERNATOR WAS FIXED. THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAD 32,000 WHEN I PURCHASED IT AND HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT TROUBLE SINCE.

EA21002 · Desiccated Air Bag Inflator Rupture

Opened Sep 17, 2021 · No close date supplied

Status: open (inferred from source dates) · Air Bags:frontal:driver Side:inflator Module; Air Bags:frontal:passenger Side:inflator Module

From 2000 through 2017, Takata produced millions of air bag inflators using two types of phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate ("PSAN") propellant -- propellant 2004 and propellant 2004L. After prolonged exposure to high temperature cycles and humidity, inflators using propellant 2004 can degrade, causing the propellant to burn too quickly when ignited. The rapid burning can cause the inflator to rupture during deployment, potentially causing serious or even fatal injury to vehicle occupants. See 2016 Blomquist Report at www.nhtsa.gov/sites/nhtsa.gov/files/documents/expert_report-hrblomquist.pdf.Consequently, all frontal inflators using propellant 2004 that do not contain a "desiccant" (a substance that traps and holds moisture) in US vehicles are under recall. These "non-desiccated" inflators either have been or are required to be replaced.In some cases, the remedy part for these recalled inflators was, or will be, an inflator using either propellant 2004 or 2004L that does contain a desiccant. None of these "desiccated" remedy parts (which were installed in older model year vehicles) are currently under recall for a degradation concern. Certain subsets of desiccated PSAN inflators using propellant 2004 for use as original equipment, however, have been recalled for a degradation concern. All Takata inflators produced with propellant 2004L contain desiccant, and none of these desiccated inflators using propellant 2004L are under recall for a degradation concern. There have been no reported field ruptures in any non-recalled desiccated PSAN inflators.It is understood that desiccants fully saturate at some threshold, at which point any additional moisture will not be captured. This means the degradation process observed in non-desiccated inflators using propellant 2004 may also occur in non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004, assuming additional moisture enters the inflator and high temperature cycling occurs. Based on available information, desiccant saturation can occur within the first five years in the worst environments, and the time required for full saturation is affected by multiple factors. While no present safety risk has been identified, further work is needed to evaluate the future risk of non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004.Three entities -- Takata (now known as TK Global), the Independent Testing Coalition, and Exponent -- have been studying the long-term behavior of Takata desiccated PSAN inflators using propellant 2004L (as well as 2004) in the presence of moisture and temperature cycling. The research efforts, which include development of predictive modeling techniques and field sample analysis, are ongoing. To date, none of the researchers have identified field evidence showing that propellant 2004L is undergoing a degradation process that leads to aggressive deployment and potential rupture. However, the time in service of such inflators remains short compared to that of the inflators using propellant 2004. Further study is needed to assess the long-term safety of desiccated inflators using propellant 2004L.The Office of Defects Investigation is opening this investigation to examine whether a safety defect related to propellant degradation exists in non-recalled desiccated PSAN frontal inflators manufactured by Takata. This investigation will require extensive information on Takata production processes and surveys of inflators in the field. Lists of recall actions that may have used desiccated PSAN inflators as remedy parts, as well as the makes and models originally manufactured with them, is available with the downloadable version of this document (see nhtsa.gov/recalls?nhtsaId=EA21002 -- note this information is subject to change/revision as the investigation proceeds). This investigation does not supersede EA15-001, which remains open.
