Now I'm wondering if my window issue is related. After all, it's probably something in that handle mechanism that triggers the smart windows.

If it isn't functioning properly it is a warranty issue plain and simple, no TSB required for that.

TSBs aren't just to get things fixed for free. They also tell dealers how to fix the tough issues. But it is unacceptable to say your going to wait for someone else to figure it out. I'd be on the phone with Chrysler.

True, but I still feel their response should be to replace the obviously defective or non-functioning unit under warranty regardless of there being an existing TSB or not. Parts fail without TSBs all the time and are repaired/replaced under basic warranty. Why should this be any different?

I believe I agreed with you on that.

But it is unacceptable to say your going to wait for someone else to figure it out.

At the dealer right now for my window issue. Seems to be related to the door handle since its worse in the rain.
They're pulling the door apart as I type this.

They are ordering a new latch, since that's where the smart window gets its signal.
Thanks to this thread, they are going to grease up the connectors to try to keep moisture out.

sigh...my driver side started doing it yesterday

No TSB, but it does throw a code. Just make sure they do the electrical grease on the connectors.

 

[a14umbra]

Just take it to the dealer and tell then what it's doing. They'll hook up and see the code as part of their process.
As for the grease, based on the earlier posts in this thread, I asked the tech to put electrical grease on the electrical connectors when he puts it back together to make sure moisture doesn't get in.
Since I told him that the problem was worse when it rains, he felt that it made sense to do.

Passenger side door locks whenever I open it

That was my first symptom.

I had mine "fixed" on Tuesday. It's going back next Friday. They replaced the latch instead of the handle.

Doh!

Took my 2011 SRT 8 to the dealer to show them my passenger side handle will not open upon a walk up to it . The Fob will open it . They said they have had some Charger handles with the problem . But did not know or have any Challengers . But mine is one of two SRT 8 they have sold that I know of . Does the R/T have this problem also . Guess it does .

Yep. Mine did it yesterday. I locked it and before I could walk away, it unlocked.

There is a redesign in the works, a message was sent out to dealers not to replace the handles anymore. I will see if I can get a copy of it and post it.

Thanks. I guess when these fail, I'll just wait.

When they replaced my handles they did a new RRT 11-047 that was apparently sent out on June 15.

Googling, I found this"

The first time the RRT 08-24 was release was in april of 2011, But there was a problem with the software and chrysler stopped the flash update. As of june 15,2011 the software update as been re-release under RRT 11-047.

I'm not holding out any hope that it'll work, but just thought I'd pass it on.

 

[a14umbra]

RRT 11-047 has nothing to do with the door handle issue.

Correct. It was a replacement for RRT 08-24 which we already established as having nothing to do with the door handles. But, it is related to the FOB, so weird things do happen sometimes.

Dealer just called.

They found no issue with the drivers door (yeah it dried out) but ordered a new passenger door handle and some module. We will see.

They tried that with me. "it's functioning as designed". I got a little stern with them and they conceded. The day I went back in to have them installed, neither would work.

It's raining out today and guess what, both handles are now working.

Your car is quite the rebel today.

I just ran out to my car and checked the work order. Mine were replaced on 6/25 with 1mz85hvgae and 1mz84hvgae !

 

[a14umbra]

Nice to know the service manager.
Hopefully it'll all work out.

I had my driver side handle replaced after owning the car for 2 weeks.
Now the passenger side window drops down a inch and goes back up over and over and over and over again. It does it when Im driving it and when its parked. It seems to acted up when it gets wet. Hmmm. Back to the dealership again.

The dealer replaced the latch (not handle) on mine to fix this. I had the put my car in their car wash to reproduce the issue. There a thread about it.
