The contact owns a 2015 Dodge Challenger. The contact stated while driving the vehicle at various speeds, there was a loud noise coming from the engine compartment. The contact stated that there was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was towed to a local mechanic where it was diagnosed with needing the driveshaft replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle was not included in a recall. The failure mileage was approximately 49,700.

The center support carrier bearing for the driveshaft has failed, causing the driveshaft to drop, rub the heat shield causing a bad noise, the rear end is swaying, and there are mobility issues. I know of other people that have the same problem. You cannot replace the center bearing. You have to purchase the WHOLE driveshaft/driveline, which becomes an even bigger problem when they are on NATIONAL BACKORDER! My challenger has less than 98,000 miles. I have no other vehicle. This is a widespread problem. The whole part costs over $1100.

At less than 70k miles, with full periodic servicing done by Dodge dealer (Moss Bros, San Bernardino, CA) all 12 engine rocker arm mounts failed and had to be replaced at a cost of $1,600. This is a common problem in a 3.6L Pentastar V-6 engine, per internet owner reports on Dodge internet groups. Not caused by normal wear and tear, shouldn't be happening at 60-70k miles.

2 ISSUES HERE. RECALLS ARE FOR UB4 EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS CANISTER AND V86 CATALYTIC CONVERTER. BEEN TRYING TO SCHEDULE THIS FOR 8 MONTHS. FCA AND DODGE HAVE A SUPPLY ISSUE. CANNOT GET PARTS. IMO THIS IS A MASSIVE FAILURE. HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO COMPLY IF THE COMPANY CANNOT ISSUE PARTS? IT IS BEYOND RIDICULOUS.

2015 DODGE CHALLENGER. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO NHTSA SAFETY RECALL 18V-332. *LD *JS
Dec 07, 2018
I PURCHASED A USED 2015 DODGE CHALLENGER SCAT PACK WITH 6800 MILES. THE RADIATOR STARTED LEAKING AT 7100 MILES. I FOUND THE LEAK AFTER HIGHWAY DRIVING. A PUDDLE FORMED UNDER THE PASSENGER FRONT CORNER OF THE CAR. THE DEALER WILL NOT REPLACE IT SINCE THE OEM WARRANTY IS EXPIRED. THERE ARE QUITE A FEW OTHER OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I BELIEVE A RECALL IS NECESSARY AND A POSSIBLE REVAMPING OF THE RADIATOR SO THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN TO FUTURE OWNERS.

WHILE UNLOADING ITEMS FROM THE TRUNK OF MY 2015 DODGE CHALLENGER, I HAD THE MISFORTUNE OF THE TRUNK LID FALLING MY HEAD AND ALMOST KNOCKING ME OUT. THE TRUNK WILL NOT STAY UP ON ITS OWN (ESPECIALLY WHEN PARKED ON AN INCLINE). THE WEIGHT OF THE TRUNK IS TOO HEAVY FOR THE STRUTS THAT ARE DESIGNED FOR IT. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THE STRUTS HAVE FAILED ON THE TRUNK OF THIS VEHICLE AND HAVE BEEN REPLACED BY A DODGE OEM DEALER (APPROX 2 YEARS AGO). I FEEL LIKE THIS COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE FOR OTHER DODGE OWNERS IN THE FUTURE.

"Turn signal indicator lamp out" shows frequently on the dash display. It will remain on for 3-10 seconds and go off. Upon inspection, ALL EXTERIOR LAMPS function perfectly fine. Even when turn indicator on the dash blinks rapidly, the exterior lamps blink normally. It also dings when the indicator comes on. This just started about six weeks ago. This issue tells the driver that a lamp is out, when in reality it is not. It is very frustrating, as it may occur as often as every five minutes. I have talked to three independent repair shops, as well as three Dodge dealerships. I received basically the same response from all three dealerships, "We have no idea what may be causing this, but leave it with us for a day, and we will investigate. At $182 per labor hour. And we may not find the problem." I would have happily have paid for an hour or so of tracing, but a day?

GAUGE CLUSTER BLINKING OFF, OR RESETTING, WHILE DRIVING.
Feb 19, 2020
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

ITS BEEN SEVERAL MONTHS NOW AND IVE PUT 5000 MORE MILES ON MY CAR.. EVERY TIME I GET IN I WONDER IF IT WILL CATCH FIRE THIS TIME... EVERY TIME I GET BEHIND SOMEONE WHOS CAR IS RUNNING RICH I THINK MY CAR IS LEAKING RAW FUEL AND PULL OVER TO CHECK.. A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. SRT IS NO HELP IN GETTING ME MY PART. I NOW CARRY A FIRE EXTINGUISHER WITH ME AT ALL TIMES.

THIS IS MY THIRD COMPLAINT TO SAFERCAR.GOV TO UPDATE THE PUBLIC ON MY 2015 DODGE CHALLENGER NIGHTMARE. I HAVE NEW AND IMPORTANT INFORMATION. 1: EXECUTIVE DODGE TOLD ME IT WAS THE VALVE BODY OF THE TRANSMISSION THAT WAS THE ISSUE AND WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO FIXING IT FOR ME ON 05 15 2015. THIS IS A FRIDAY. ON THAT MONDAY THEY CONSULT WITH THE NAMELESS FACELESS STAR TEAM AND THEY TELL EXECUTIVE DODGE'S LICENSED ON SITE MECHANICS THAT MY TRANSMISSION HAD NORMAL OPERATION. EXECUTIVE DODGE REFUSES TO WORK ON THE CAR. 2: I CALL ANOTHER DEALERSHIP AND THE VALVE BODY AND INSTALLATION TOTAL $1,500.00 FOR A 2015 DODGE CHALLENGER VALVE BODY, INSTALLED. 3:I FEEL THAT ONCE EXECUTIVE DODGE DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE TO BE FAULTY THEY HAD A DUTY UNDER THE LAW TO FIX IT REGARDLESS OF WHAT DODGE STATED. THEY SHOULD OF STOOD UP FOR ME--. BECAUSE I BOUGHT THE CAR THERE AND THERE ARE OTHER ISSUES WITH THE SAME CAR SAME MODEL SAME YEAR ON THIS WEB SITE. 4: DODGE HAS OFFERED ME A $400.00 PAYMENT [ONE CAR PAYMENT] AS AN APOLOGY FOR MY INCONVENIENCE. 5: THIS WEB SITE HAS FAILED TO UPDATE THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS LISTED AGAINST THIS CAR. I HAVE MADE AT LEAST 3 AND THERE IS AT LEAST ONE OTHER FOR THE SAME ISSUE. 6: HOW LONG CAN THIS TRANSMISSION SHUTTERING AND LAG AND BUCKING OCCUR BEFORE THE TRANSMISSION BREAKS ALTOGETHER?

SEATS
4 complaints
I hadn’t on my car for very long when I stepped on the brakes and my passenger seat flew clear up to the dash. When I stopped and looked at it, they were little metal teeth all over the place underneath the seat. It won’t go all the way up and lock it will only go all the way back and semi lock. If there’s someone sitting in the passenger seat when I press on the brakes, it moves up a few inches and then back it will not lock completely
Feb 11, 2025
Passenger seat sliding mechanism not locking / latching properly. When coming to a stop the passenger seat will slide forward, sometimes an inch or two but sometimes further. This is a very well know issue I have discovered across multiple internet message boards and is due to inadequate slide bearings, and has been ongoing for years.
Apr 26, 2024
THE PASSENGER SEAT DOES NOT LOCK INTO PLACE. THE SEAT SLIDES FREELY ALONG THE FLOOR WHILE DRIVING.
Nov 25, 2019
PASSENGER SEAT DOES SLIDES BACK / FORWARD - DOES NOT LOCK IN POSITION. THE MOVEMENT OF THE SEAT WOULD BE VERY UNSAFE IN A COLLISION OR ACCIDENT. THE PASSENGER SEAT BECAME STIFF TO SLIDE AND ROLLERS FELL OUT. NOW, THE SEAT MOVES FREELY FRONT TO BACK WITH ACCEL / DECEL. IN ADDITIONA, WHEN THE SEAT IS MOVED UP / FORWARD TO ALLOW A PASSENGER TO ENTER THE BACKSEAT, IT WILL NOT PUSH BACK DOWN IN POSITION WITHOUT MANUALLY RELEASING A CABLE UNDER THE SEAT. THERE HAS BEEN SOME KIND OF FAILURE IN THE SEAT LEADING TO AN UNSAFE CONDITION. WHEN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WENT WRONG AND WHAT FIXES ARE OUT THERE, IT BECAME CLEAR MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE.

STEERING
4 complaints
ELECTRIC ASSIST STEERING GEAR, RACK LOST THE ELECTRIC ASSIST. ELECTRIC ASSIST FAILED, STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING. THE ELECTRIC ASSIST MOTOR ADDS THE "POWER ASSISTANCE" TO THE STEERING MAKING IT EASY TO TURN THE STEERING . FAILURE OF THE ELECTRIC ASSIST MAKES THE STEERING DRAMATICALLY DIFFICULT TO TURN THE STEERING EVEN THE SLIGHTEST. IT IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL THE CAR OR EVEN PROVIDE ANY STEERING INPUT THAT CHANGES THE DIRECTION OF THE WHEELS IN ANY MEANINGFUL OR PURPOSEFUL WAY. FRANKLY LUCKY THAT I HAVE DRIVEN A MANUAL, NON POWER STEERING VEHICLE, IN THE PAST AND INSTANTLY RECOGNIZED THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILED, LUCKY TO HAVE NOT CRASHED AS IT WAS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO GET THE CAR OFF THE ROAD AS STEERING IS EVEN MORE DIFFICULT, NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE, TO MANIPULATE THAN A TRADITIONAL NON-POWER ASSIST STEERING RACK. CAR WAS IN MOTION ON RURAL BACK ROAD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE CHALLENGER. WHILE DRIVING, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT QUICKLY ACTIVATED THE HAZARD LIGHTS AND SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON TO RESET THE COMPUTER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SOUTH CHICAGO DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP (7340 S WESTERN AVE, CHICAGO, IL 60636, (773) 476-7800) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING COLUMN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THERE WAS NO WARRANTY OR RECALL FOR THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE NOT AVAILABLE.
Mar 01, 2019
THE STEERING COLUMN STARTING MAKING A LOW PITCHED WHINING SOUND FOR THE PAST 4 MONTHS. THE CAR WAS STOPPED AND PARKED AND THE WARNING CAME ON ABOUT THE SERVICING THE POWER STEERING AND NOW THE CAR HAS NO POWER STEERING. CODES: U11E8-00- & U0001-00- AND THE CAR IS NOW 1500 MILES BEYOND THE WARRANTY. WE ARE GOING TO PUSH TO THE GET THIS FIXED UNDER WARRANTY BUT AT 37K MILES THIS SHOULDN'T HAPPEN, AND AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE THIS APPARENTLY IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE POWER STEERING MODULE LOCATED ON THE THE RACK AND PINON AND THE WHOLE THING WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THIS SHOULD DEFINITELY BE A RECALL AS THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD.

PASSENGER HEADLIGHT DOESN'T ALWAYS COME ON. FUSE, BULB & WIRING HAS BEEN INSPECTED & IS WORKING. SOMETIMES THE HEADLIGHT WORKS & SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T. BEING THAT IS DOESN'T GIVE ANY ERROR CODES WHEN THE DEALERSHIP CONNECTS TO THE VEHICLE, THEY CAN'T FIX IT OR HAVE A CLUE TO WHERE TO START TO INVESTIGATE.ITS HAPPENS OFTEN DOESN'T MATTER IF THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY OR IN MOTION. THERE ARE MANY FORUMS ABOUT THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE ALL OVER THE INTERNET WITH NO REAL SOLUTION. IT'S DANGEROUS TO DRIVE LIKE THIS & ITS AN UNNECESSARY TRAFFIC TICKET RISK. WHEN I CONTACTED COOPERATE ABOUT THIS ISSUE THEY WERE CARELESS ABOUT THE WHOLE ISSUE.

THE HEADLIGHTS ON MY 2015 DODGE CHALLENGER ARE USELESS. I CAN BARELY SEE 5FT IN FRONT OF MY CAR WITH LOW AND HIGH BEAMS ON. I HAVE TRIED BUYING NEW HEADLIGHTS 3X AND NOTHING HAS HELPED. IT IS SO HARD TO SEE THE ROAD ONCE THE SUN GOES DOWN. I HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS PROBLEM FOR QUITE A WHILE NOW.
Feb 28, 2019
LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS CONTINUE TO BE A PROBLEM THREE YEARS LATER. FIRST DRIVER LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHT WOULD INTERMITTENTLY WORK. I WOULD TAKE TO DEALER THEY WOULD REPLACE HEADLAMP AND LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT WOULD WORK FOR DAYS/WEEKS. CONTINUED TO HAVE ISSUE FINALLY DEALER FIXED ISSUE BY REPLACING BALLAST AND LAMP. SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED WITH PASSENGER LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT. I'VE REPEATEDLY TOLD DEALER THIS IS NOT MY FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY TO PAY FOR REPAIRS.

One day after driving home from work there was a message that says low battery voltage on the instrument panel, then it went away. No other warning lights or problems. Ten more miles down the road the message says battery saver mode, reduced functions and then the car started to smoke, I am freaked out at this point praying to make it home safely. I arrive home and pull into driveway and then turn engine off and let it cool. Lift the hood and coolant has sprayed and spewed all over the engine compartment and is significantly reduced. Now parked, engine off the shift lights are still on and navigation panel and radio won't turn off. I had to unplug the battery completely and manually lock the car. The next day I replace the battery, check coolant, and allow car to warm up. No warning lights or messages. Then I start to drive and less than ten min, battery saver mode again, reduced function and power then engine smoking again, coolant spraying under hood and I have no idea what's wrong. Could it be the alternator, everything is still factory parts. Never happened when I changed the battery in 2022. This is scary.

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.

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.

SEAT BELTS

The contact owns a 2015 Dodge Challenger. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, while attempting to fasten the passenger’s side seat belt, the seat belt failed to retract. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the retractor mechanism had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 60,000.
Sep 10, 2024
the seat belts in the rear are guided through a metal D ring that has a plastic housing. This housing cracks and prevents the seat belts from retracting. This issue relays to most dodge, jeep chrysler products that all utilize the same part for front and rear seat belts. The issue has been acknowledged for front seat belts but not rear.

I purchased my vehicle new as a 2015. The HVAC blower motor has gone out so quickly and is rattling. It has been about two days when it started out of nowhere and as of today, the blower is not blowing anything out. It should last for 10-20+ years. My wife had the same issue with her BMW and it burned out and black smoke came out the vents. The wires were scorched. This is a safety issue due to fires. I have done research and vehicles have caught fire because of this problem in vehicles. Please advise and thank you.

ISSUE #1 VEHICLE LOSES ALL POWER WHILE STATIONARY ON A CITY STREET WITH NO INDICATION OR WARNING. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE WHILE WAITING TO ENTER THE INTERSECTION. THE CAR TURNS OFF COMPLETELY AND SAYS TO PLACE CAR IN PARK. ISSUE #2 THIS ISSUE ALWAYS OCCURS WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STATIONARY STATE; VEHICLE JUMPS WITH LITTLE PRESSURE ON GAS, THEN POWER DIPS DOWN, THEN BACK UP OVER AND OVER. THE CAR RESEMBLES A BUCKING RODEO HORSE WHEN THIS HAPPENS. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN ACROSS ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE IN THAT A POWER DIP IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION INHIBITS THE CARS ABILITY TO CLEAR AN INTERSECTION SAFELY.

TWO OF THE VEHICLES WHEELS HAVE STARTED TO STRESS CRACK ON THE INNER WHEEL LIP CAUSING AIR TO LEAK, AS SEEN IN THE PICTURES THE WHEELS HAVE NO DAMAGE TO CAUSE THE WHEELS TO CRACK AND THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED ON THE INTERNET BY OTHER 2015 DODGE CHALLENGER OWNERS WITH THE FACTORY OEM WHEELS STAMPED MOPAR LIGHTWEIGHT ON THE OUTSIDE FACE. THE WHEELS WERE TAKEN TO THE SELLING DEALER FOR WARRANTY, THEY AGREE THAT THE WHEELS ARE DEFECTIVE, BUT FCA HAS REFUSED TO REPLACE THEM UNDER WARRANTY, THE VEHICLE IS 26 MONTHS OLD AND HAS 25K MILES ON IT. THE WHEELS CRACKING IN THIS WAY CAN CAUSE A CATASTROPHIC WHEELS FAILURE RESULTING IN A VEHICLE CRASH AND OR INJURY.

My SHIFTER is messing up again recall U4 i believe and my its a recall on my vehicle ive had this vehicle for 2 years they stated the previous owner already had repaired but im imforming them i am still having the issue my car will literally stop going in the middle of the highway. Ive almost been close to getting in a accident and all everyone can say is it has already been repaired but i want them to understand that it may was repaired but it wasnt done correctly because something is wrong with my shifter/trasmission and electrical system. Which are both two valid recalls that i have. My shifter just blinks out of nowhere and just will stop at any moment. If the person behind me wasnt paying attention i couldve died or been harm seriously due to this keep happening while i am driving on the highway.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
1 complaint
adaptive cruise and forward collision warning failed regularly for 10 months. dealers worked to find issue after having car in shop for collectively about 3 months. Dealer replaced parts, and finally determined it was a 4G adapter sold by Uconnect- a part of Dodge parent corp. Mopar tech's were aware of it, yet to my knowledge they still sell the 4G service. Use of the adapter with remote start disables FCW and ACC. I have pictures and documentation. They should stop selling this or fix software.

It has affected all wheel speed sensors and fron passenger replaced twice. All replacement parts are from dealer and are geniuine mopar replacements. Seems to be a very common issue, the parts are typically on backorder and it can be caused simply by going through a car wash.

I PURCHASED A 2015 CHALLENGER, UPON DRIVING THE VEHICLE HOME NOTICED THE AXLES MAKING A NOISE. A WEEK LATER THE NOISE BECOMES WORSE I ALERT THE DEALERSHIP AND BRING THE CAR IN. THEY TELL ME THAT IT'S COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY PROMISE THAT WHEN I FINALIZE FINANCING THE WILL FIX IT. UPON FINALIZING FINANCING THE CAR FAILS INSPECTION AND THE WARRANTY IS REMOVED DUE TO THE PREEXISTING ISSUES WITH THE CAR. THUS RESULTING REPAIR COST COMING OUT MY POCKET FOR A CAR I HADN'T HAD A WEEK. NEXT I RUN INTO A ISSUE THE WITH ENGINE. I TAKE IT TO GET A DIAGNOSTIC AND THE TECHNICIAN SHOWS ME THE HISTORY OF THE CAR STATING THAT IT HAD A REPLACEMENT ENGINE INSTALLED IN THE PAST. THE DEALER NEVER MENTIONED THE REPAIRS TO ME BEFORE FINALIZING THE DEAL ONCE SO EVER. NOW I BROUGHT IT TO THEIR ATTENTION AND THEY'RE TELLING ME THAT I CAN TRADE IT IN BUT THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THE DEALERSHIP IS RICK HENDRICKS CHEVROLET IN DULUTH GEORGIA, 3277 SATELLITE BLVD. THE DEALERSHIP GOES UP AND BEYOND TO AVOID ME, EVEN WHILE THE CAR WAS IN THEIR POSSESSION FOR REPAIRS FOR WEEKS. THEY NEVER FIXED ANYTHING IN THE CAR. I HAVE VIDEO PROOF OF THEM MESSING UP THE CAR AND JUST LEAVING IT FOR ME TO DEAL WITH. I ALSO HAVE VOICE RECORDED CONVERSATIONS WITH SALES ASSOCIATE MANAGERS AT THE DEALERSHIP WHO LIED TO ME AND MY FATHER IN OUR FACES ABOUT CERTAIN INFORMATION REGARDING THE DEAL.

IT WAS BROUGHT INTO FIELDS DODGE WHO DIAGNOSED THE LEAK BUT COULD NOT TELL ME WHERE EXACTLY THE LEAK WAS COMING FROM. I CALLED DODGE CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY REFUSED TO OFFER ANYTHING ON RESOLVING THIS ISSUE EVEN THOUGH MY WARRANTY EXPIRED 3 DAYS AGO ON MARCH 12TH, 2018. THEY DO HAVE A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN REGARDING RADIATOR LEAK PROBLEMS BUT THEY ARE NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT, EVEN FOR CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE LOW MILEAGE BUT EXPIRED WARRANTY. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE MANAGER MENTIONED THE LEAK MAY BE COMING FROM A SEAM BETWEEN THE PLASTIC AND ALUMINUM. THE RADIATOR IS OF INFERIOR QUALITY AND THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHERS ON CHALLENGER FORUMS WHO HAVE MENTIONED RADIATOR PROBLEMS ON THEIR CHALLENGERS.

4 JULY 2017, WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, VEHICLE FAULT INDICATORS SHOWING PROBLEM WITH STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM, ABS SYSTEM, AND DISABLED CRUISE CONTROL. FAULTS CLEARED APPROXIMATELY 30 SECONDS LATER. 5 JULY 2017, VEHICLE AGAIN DISPLAYED SAME FAULTS, HOWEVER, FAULTS REMAINED LATCHED (DID NOT SELF CLEAR). I CONTACTED LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE, FAULT WAS DIAGNOSED ON 6 JULY 2017 AS A FAILED RIGHT FRONT WHEEL SPEED SENSOR. SERVICE DEPARTMENT PLACED NEEDED PART ON ORDER, RETURNED KEYS TO ME AND ARRANGEMENTS WERE MADE TO BRING VEHICLE BACK TO DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR ON 7 JULY 2017. WHILE CONTINUING ON TO PLACE OF WORK, FAULTS RETURNED, THEN CLEARED. AT THE END OF DAY, 6 JULY, WAS APPROACHING A STOP SIGN AT NORMAL APPROACH SPEEDS AND APPLIED BRAKES. FRONT BRAKES INITIALLY OPERATED AS NORMAL, THEN WITHIN A SECOND OR SO, LOST BRAKE PRESSURE...I FELT THE ABS SYSTEM RELEASE THE BRAKES, CAUSING ME TO EXERT ENORMOUS PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL WITHIN A FEW FEET OF THE STOP SIGN TO GET THE VEHICLE STOPPED FROM ONLY A FEW MPH. ONCOMING TRAFFIC WAS 55 MPH. AFTER THE VEHICLE STOPPED (BARELY)..THEN THE SAME FAULTS APPEARED. FROM MY POINT OF VIEW, THE INTERMITTENT WHEEL SPEED SENSOR CAUSED THE FRONT ABS SYSTEM TO ACTIVATE ON A DRY ROAD, ESSENTIALLY DISABLING MY FRONT BRAKES WHILE IN THE PROCESS OF BRAKING. THIS IS NOT AN EXPECTED FAILURE MODE. I UNDERSTAND ONBOARD DIAGNOSTICS INDICATING THE PROBLEMS ABOVE, HOWEVER, IT APPEARS THAT IF THIS PROBLEM TAKES PLACE WHILE BRAKING, BRAKE PERFORMANCE IS COMPROMISED. THIS IS NOW THE SECOND WHEEL SPEED SENSOR TO BE REPLACED IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS OR SO. FROM MY PERSPECTIVE, THAT MEANS THAT THIS IS A HIGH FAILURE RATE ITEM (LAST ONE WAS ON THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL), AND IF IT HAPPENS WHILE BRAKING...I ESSENTIALLY LOSE BRAKING AT THE PRECISE MOMENT BRAKES ARE NEEDED. I CONSIDER THIS A DESIGN ISSUE. REDUNDANT SENSORS RECOMMENDED FOR ABS.
