“Driver window continually rolls up and down when car is at a stand still. This causes the battery to die. The only way to stop the battery is to take the battery cable off or leave the window down about 2 inches.”
NHTSA complaint #10560520, filed 2014-01, 29,000 miles“Power windows on this car are designed to come down about an 1/8 to a 1/4 inch when you open the doors, and go back up when you close them. While car was parked the drivers window did not roll down all the way, then as I rolled the window up and exited the car the window did not do what it is designed to do, and is on the outside of the seal. The passenger window will keep going up and down as it was meant to except it will do it with the door closed and nobody opening the door. This is very distracting and could run the battery down and be a fire hazard.”
NHTSA complaint #10534138, filed 2013-08, 11,000 miles“The contact owns a 2012 Dodge Challenger. While driving at any speed, the front driver side window rolled up and down on its own. The vehicle was driven to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the module within the door handle needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The VIN was unknown. The approximate failure mileage was 65,500.”
