A year after I replaced the driver's side smart glass switch, the door release has been amlfunctioning. It will unlock, but you can't open the door- especially on hot days. This is a saftey risk- if I need the safety of my vehicle, I can't even get it open.

On occasion the trunk will suddenly fall down when it should remain up. The trunk has fallen on my head and injured me more than once. This is a safety hazard. The vehicle is a 2011 Dodge Challenger srt8 with about 80K miles. Vehicle is parked and turned off when the issue occurs. The issue has been occurring for several months.

I was driving home from work and another vehicle was merging onto the highway on the inside shoulder. I made a normal lane change to avoid getting T-boned and my steering locked up causing me to spin out and hit a guardrail.

There is a paint booth issue at the factory in Ontario Canada. My redline 3 pearlcoat has bumps all over the body paint job. Its like the booth was dirty and it either globbed off the end of a sprayer or it was really dirty inside but I did not see it until after I purchased it. I paid an extra $995 for this so wtf over? orange peel and you name it. Does not look like a factory paint job unless it was Monday or Friday I guess! I hate that when you call Dodge corporate they could give a rats [xxx]! one lady said "we don't care we don't sell the vehicles we just make them" I said seriously so you make a product but don't stand behind it [xxx]! none of them care, even after dropping $50K so yeah.
