Recently reported ELECTRICAL SYSTEM problems on 2015 Dodge Challenger

The windows in my 2015 challenger is going up and down by themselves, gets stuck, and then won't go back up. also the engine coils in my car burnt out and was leaking oil all through my car. when i got it fixed, the old coils were from the manufacture and had a broken seal. was told that my car should've caught on fire with the amount of oil that was leaking.

The fuses that run to both my left and right headlights keep getting burnt out .they burnt out when i turned the car on .

The car was parked and not on. when the key fob was hit to unlock the car the panel between the windshield and passenger door caught on fire. this also caused the sunroof to jar open.

Electrical short in dash on passenger side leading to fire and a complete loss of vehicle. vehicle was in motion when smoke was noted in the cabin. within 40 seconds car was pulled off the road and 911 called. vehicle loss was on 7-15-2019.

Driving home in rain and got off highway service ramp. as soon as i turned right the car died. it said my key fob battery was low and would not restart. my son brought up my other key fob and it still would not start. no warning whatsoever came on stating anything was wrong. could not get car in neutral even after releasing the shift inner lock. it had to be towed to my house.

While operating normally, approximately 35-65 mph both highway and county roads, on the way to work, the service abs & stability control system warning lights came in, steering and braking were affected. brake system started pulsing and steering system vibrated. 20 seconds later, went away. on the way home, it repeated this 4x within 35 miles of travel. went to dealership the next day for issue. they claimed it to be a faulty wheel speed sensor. replaced sensor. 49,575 miles at time of service. a $42 part ended up costing $310 to get fixed. this is a dangerous thing to happen to fairly new car. car has never seen snow or salt. garage kept in winter months. this affected the braking and steering systems. 2 of the most important systems on a vehicle in order to operate safely on the road. i am the 3rd person i know of who's had this same issue with the same year dodge. this should be a factory recall on all the sensors for these systems to be replaced.

I was traveling to work on a busy, 3-lane road. i was in the far-right lane sitting at a red light, waiting to continue straight. when the light turned green, my car just shut off and the display informed me to put my car in p (park) and then back into the desired gear. i put my flashers on and coasted into the closest parking lot of the right side of the road, where i turned my car off and then started it back up again. after restarting the car, there seemed to be no further problems. this was an extremely scary situation for me and i was thankful to be in the far right lane when it happened, thankful i was at a complete stop when it happened, and thankful nobody was injured. this is a serious problem that dodge needs to address and get fixed. a recall needs to be placed for the safety of those on the roads.

Complete and sudden loss of both headlights when driving at night. dealer, in discussion with fca hq, suggests cause is related to front turn signal electronics associated with a single front turn indicator, which otherwise functions normally. at this time dodge has no replacement parts available and the car is deemed unsafe to drive by the dealership. owner has contacted fca to make them aware of total unwarned headlight loss - which is intermittant - as a safety issue. lights otherwise still work and come back on by themselves after several seconds, suggesting problem with body control unit function or failsafe design
