2015 DODGE CHALLENGER Complaints

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.

2015 challenger, wheel speed sensor failures starting at year two. Have replaced wheel speed sensors on 5 separate occasions. 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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I WAS TRAVELING DOWN BEAR VALLEY ROAD AT ABOUT 50MPH AND I STRUCK ANOTHER VEHICLE AND NONE OF MY AIR BAGS DEPLOYED I SUFFERED A CONCUSSION

BOTH MY 2015 CHALLENGERS HAVE THE SAME DASH LIGHTS ON TRACTION CONTROL,ABS, AND BRAKE LIGHT. HAPPENED WITH VEHICLE WITH VIN [XXX] FIRST AND BEGINNING OF THAT YEAR AND AROUND MAY SAME LIGHTS CAME ON IN MY OTHER 2015 CHALLENGER AND THEN BATTERY LIGHT STARTED TO GO ON AND OFF THEN FINALLY JUST STAYED ON SO I CHANGED BATTERY AND NOTHING CHANGED BUT POWER IS BEING USED SOMEWHERE AND VOLTAGE STAYS AROUND 13.0 AND SOME OTHER ISSUES WITH GPS AND COMPASS ILL BE HEADING STRAIGHT NORTH AND IT WILL JUST KEEP CHANGING NORTH SOUTH EAST WEST AND MY GPS WILL SHOW MY CAR GLITCHING BACK AND FORTH ON SCREEN HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO GET EITHER CAR TO DEALER CAUSE DON'T HAVE A SPARE CAR AT THE MOMENT. *TR
