We have classified the 83 complaints from 2013 Dodge Challenger about ELECTRICAL SYSTEM into the following categories.
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 ...
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.
Driver side smart window opens and closes every 30 sec. runs battery down overnight
Driver side smart window is going up and down while parked. causing the battery to drain. i think it's some sort of door latch and window malfunction.
I have a 2013 dodge challenger with 45,000 miles and the driver window goes up and down by itself once the car is powered off. it is only supposed to do that when you open and close the door. why does dodge not have a recall on this issue? it causes my battery to go down overnight.
Drivers side window goes down a 4th inch them back up.with no key on causing the battery do go dead.the car is in park when it happens.it does it every 20 sec or so
The " smart window" door latch drains the battery when parked over night and you have to jump start it every morning or every time you shut it off. i replaced the latch and it's still doing it.

The vehicle suddenly started smoking, immediately followed by fire while i was stopped at a red light in the middle of town. my 2013 dodge challenger only had 20,000 miles on it, and all service was done as recommended by dodge, at a certified shop. i reported the issue to dodge, and they denied any manufacturing defect, despite the fact that there is a recall for my model, because of known issues regarding alternators overheating, or short circuiting, causing thermal diode fatigue. the car was consumed by flames within minutes, and was deemed a total loss by my insurance company. i have not yet received a settlement. *bf *tr
