just ran outside and tried it....sweet!!!!!!!

 

There's a manual!?!?!?

 

Mine didn't come with a manual either, only a 'quick start guide'. I had to call the Dodge customer service and ask that they send one to me. However, some people obviously did get them with their vehicles. Not sure if it was a timing issue (i.e. they stopped supplying them after some date) or what.

Expensive? Then tell me why my wife's 80K BMW X5 also doesn't have the 'widows up' feature but with windows down and open sunroof? My Corvette the same. Chrysler's not willing to risk a lawsuit on windows up feature. We all know electronic's fail, including a 'force limiters'. This windows up feature won't be a difference for anyone buying a car or not, so they're not going to risk a potential and damaging lawsuit on it.

 

Oh nice! I always thought this would be a nice feature. I guess if I read my owners manual I would have known...lol

 

Same here. When my power windows and door locks died, the service department said it didn't have that feature until I proved them wrong. It's in the manual, all they have to do is read it. Showing it that day screwed me because it worked when the door controls would not, so I had to leave it there should it rain. Four days later I got it back. A brand new truck and no windows or door locks.

I agree with the others, now if it would roll them up I'd be a happy camper!

 

I tried mine this afternoon. The windows dropped down about an inch and stopped there, even when I held the button down.

This is exactly why all the power window switches in all new vehicles operate the same way, regardless of brand, and why they all are mounted flush to a surface. You have to press down to get the window down, and pull up to get the window up...no more back and forth switch like in the earlier days of power windows. The NHTSA basically mandated this design out of concerns that a kid might stand on an armrest and accidentally start closing the windows and catch his head or other body parts in the window.

The only vehicle I can think of that operates differently is the Jeep Wrangler with the old style switches mounted vertically in the center of the dash. No way a kid could operate the switch AND get his head caught in the closing window.

 

Not just kids either. My buddies dog was in his truck and stood on the window button and rolled the window up on his head. It was scary. The dog was fine, but he was screamin and scared the **** out of my buddy. Definitely a good idea to change the design.

 

my 08 grand cherokee overland did it also. but i didnt fig. it out until a month before i turned it in, after i found out the dodge had it.lol.

whoever has the charger r/t i would try it again. i bet it works.....
