Taillights aren-??t staying on. The break and signal lights work however, after driving the vehicle for a few minutes the taillights go out. I can turn the switch from auto to on but after about 5 minutes each time they are going off
Car has had intermittent electrical issues, head lights flashing, dash board losing power, car alarms in and out. Most recently it stalled while driving on a country road. Was able to restart after a while. It stalled again while driving on highway. Took car to dealership but they stated my alternater was not a part of safety recall T36, even though I was having those exact same issues.
When starting my vehicle, I would push the push start button and it will continue to turn over and over and over but not start, it will do it for a minute or more and there is not way to turn it off.

Window started rolling down about 1/4 inch (draining battery so I bought a new battery) and then other issues started occurring. Check engine light came on(while starting the car) then went off, (I had just put the car in park and turned it off), 5 mins later I turned it back on and window will not roll down at all now. As soon as the went stopped completely other things such as performance and brakes seemed to be hesitant.

I bought this car for 11,000 in September of 2019, since having this vehicle I had and have many issues with this car. October my stero touch screen stop working and my gas tank needed to be replaced. I got it fix for over $500 the following month my key fob sensor went out and this was the in the month of November. The vehicle is a Dodge Challenger supposed to be an SXT on the car fax but in person the motor is not a SXT this vehicle has no original parts of Dodge. The Challenger has aftermarket wires, headlights from asia, and wires every by the motor where open wires should not supposed to be witch is unsafe to drive off the lot. The Challenger airbags plus other mechanical mechanics issues was reported from brandon Dodge dealership witch qld was aware of and did not resolve the issue before selling me the Dodge charger even my seatbelts is unsafe. The month of January, 2020 I was driving my car on the interstate and my car just shut off I had to drive to autozone I got a new battery that same month I approached the manager of qld and informed him with everything that's going on with the vehicle the manager responded that's a personal matter and I was left on my on to care of this car that I can not afford to fix a and pay for monthly vehicle that is not reliable. March 27, 2020 I was driving from my apartment complex and my power steering pump fell out of the bottom of my vehicle I later on that day got the car lifted and to found out the power steering pump was zipped tied and not secured to a bracket. I feel that this company is just looking for a dollar and do not care about what type of dangerous unsafe hazardous vehicles they are selling to customers who are unaware of these issues.
Driverside and passenger side windows go up and down constantly by itself...around a quarter inch up and down...even when the car is shut off completely... it already killed the battery because of this

Unfair monetary harm to customers due to defective part. Same issue as many have mentioned on here with driver's side window repeatedly going up and down without stopping while stationary with car off, which drains the battery and you can't stop it. My 2013 Challenger had a bad window latch, causing the battery to die (left stranded). Had to pay $300 out of pocket for dealer to replace latch for 'smart glass' that isn't necessary. Recall already issued on the 2011S, yet recalls haven't been issued for newer models despite same problems. I'm thankful for NHTSA and hoping Dodge is held accountable.
The smart glass will cycle up and down 1/4 inch, while the ignition is off. This is happening on both the driver and passenger doors, causing the windows to go up and down which then causes the battery to drain while parked overnight. There was a 2011-12 Dodge Challenger smart glass technical service bulletin put out for older models, which replaced the door latches causing this issue. However, it is still an issue in my 2013 Challenger. Dodge knew of this issue and still installed the same parts in later models. They should do the right thing, and issue a recall or tsb, and take care of this issue for their customers!

I was driving my car like normal for the past 2/12 years. It's a 2013 Challenger 5.70. My car went dead while driving. I lost control of the car, but, thank god I didn't hit anything or anyone. I ran tests on my car battery, it's good. Interesting note: I had the alternator replace six months ago on a factory recall. The Dodge dealer told me it's not the alternator, though replaced it anyway. They said it's the power steering pump and electric problem due to a wire not communicating to the bus or computer. (don't know what that means I'm not a car guy) however, I also own a 2006 Chrysler 300 that did the same thing to me on the freeway while I was driving 70 mph. Could have died both times.at this point, I don't know it Dodge is simply making cheap parts or Dodge service is trying to turn a 2nd alternator replacement into a profit. I say this because I was able to disconnect the batter, then reconnect it to pull forward on the tow truck now they are telling me the car dies when they reassemble it. I also say this because they are telling me the pump is damaged yet I'V had work done there before with no indication of a problem. I've had work and repairs done including smog checks within the last year with no negative readings indicating a problem or miscommunication. I see recalls on the electric system, power steering pump and alternator yet none based on my VIN. Meanwhile browning Dodge wants to charge me $1800 bucks.
My key frob is locked inside the ignition and will not come out... the car will not start or even recognize that the key frob is I. the ignition.... stuck in park !!
