Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“My window constantly goes up and down 1/8th inch when the vehicle is turned off. I have looked online and found 80 2011 challengers recalled for this exact problem, I believe they should all be under recall. The smart glass operation is faulty. Every 7 seconds my window moves 1/8th of an inch up or down. This drains my battery and makes my car die. Customer satisfaction notification m24 should be expanded to include all 2011 challengers with the smart glass.”
