2016 DODGE CHALLENGER Complaints

UCONNECT WILL NOT ADD TO DEVICES, CAN'T ADD PHONES TO CAR FOR HANDS FREE DRIVING. SOFTWARE DEFECT. MY CAR IS 3YEARS OLD. THERE'S NO WAY THIS SHOULD BE HAPPENING. I NEED SATISFACTION PLEASE.

BACK UP CAMERA INTERMITTENTLY DOES NOT WORK. BLACK OR GREEN SCREEN. WHILE IN REVERSE WITH A FOOT ON THE BRAKE. AFTER RETURNING TO PARK AND TRYING AGAIN IT STILL DOESN'T WORK. AND OTHER TIMES IT WORKS PERFECTLY FINE.

THE ICON CAME ON TO TELL ME SERVICE IMMEDIATELY, IT'S BOGGING DOWN WHEN IT'S IN GEAR AND THE MOTOR IS EXTREMELY HOT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 DODGE CHALLENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL MADE A CREAKING NOISE WHILE DRIVING OR TURNING. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO EL CAJON FORD (1595 EAST MAIN STREET, EL CAJON, CA 92021, (619) 312-4107) WHERE THE BRAKE CALIPERS WERE CLEANED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE CONTACT ALSO TOOK THE VEHICLE TO CARL BURGER DODGE (8355 HERCULES STREET, LA MESA, CA 91942, (619) 463-9321) WHERE IT WAS TEST DRIVEN. THE DEALER DUPLICATED THE CREAKING NOISE AND DIAGNOSED THAT IT WAS DUE TO THE STEERING WHEEL BUSHING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 31,000.

REAR DIFFERENTIAL MAKES A GRINDING NOISE WHEN I MAKE TURNS. DODGE ISSUED A STAR NUMBER AND FIXED IT BEFORE

SLOWLY PULLING OUT OF CARPORT AREA MAKING AN INCLINED RIGHT TURN I GET A DISTINCTIVE SCREECHING SOUND. SOMETHING IS SLIPPING ALMOST SOUNDS AND FEELS LIKE IM BRAKING AND HITTING THE GAS: AS IN BURNING RUBBER. JUST HAD POWERTRAIN UPDATED AND SHE STILL DOES IT. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE INCLINE IS RELATIVELY MILD, I DO NOT HAVE A SHARP TURN, SO I AM NOT CRANKING MY STEERING WHEEL, I'VE TRIED TO SHIFT INTO FIRST, GO SUPER SLOW, USE TRACTION CONTROL BUTTON (WHICH INDECENTLY DOES NOT TURN ON ANYMORE AFTER POWERTRAIN RECALL UPDATE). THE MECHANICS AT TWO SEPARATE NISSANS DEALERSHIPS CANNOT FIND AN ERROR WHEN TESTING THEY CANT FIND AN ERROR OR ERROR CODE. ONE OTHER NOTE IS THAT THIS WAS A CONTNIOUS AND EMBARRASSING DAILY PROBLEM. AFTER POWERTRAIN UPDATE IT IS INCONSISTENT BUT 80% OF THE TIME SHE SQUEALS) ONCE AGAIN, I BARLEY TOUCH GAS AM NOT YANKING WHEEL. IT HAPPENS FROM A DEAD STOP TO ME TURNING OR ME COASTING WITHOUT STOPPING. HELL, IVE EVEN TRIED TO GUN IT (IT WAS WORSE) HERE TIRES ARE IN VERY GOOD CONDITION AND ARE INFLATED PROPERLY DON'T KNOW IF THIS NEXT PIECE OF INFO WILL HELP?: SHE SEEMS TO HAVE A SLIGHT LAG IN IN HER ABILITY TO ACCELERATE WHEN I FLOOR THE GAS PEDDLE TO SPEED UP TO PASS SOMEONE OR JUMP ON FREEWAY. SHE DIDN'T DO THAT TO START WITH, AFTER.POWERTRAIN UPDATE RECALL, SHE IS A BIT SMOOTHER. I THANK YOU FOR YOU TIME AGAIN I LOVE MY CAR (BARLEY OVER 30K MILES ). I AND JUST A SIDE NOTE: I DO LET MY HER WARM UP, UNTIL SHE IS DROPS TO A PERFECT 1R :) FOR DATE IT HAPPENED I'M PUTTING THE TODAY. ITS BEEN HAPPENING FOR 1.5 TO TWO YEARS, SLOWLY INCREASED FROM OCCASIONALLY TO CONSTANTLY . AND ONCE AGAIN IT IS AFTER THE POWER TRAIN UPDATE, IT STOPPED DOING IT EVERY TIME BUT IT IS STILL FREQUENT. SHE DOES IT IF I'N TURNING SLOWLY UP OTHER INCLINES. AGAIN IM PUTTING TODAYS DATE SO YOU KNOW IT IS A PRESENT ISSUE. THANK YOU .

WHEN SHUTTING THE TRUNK WITH THE KEY FOB IN MY POCKET THE LOCKING ACTUATOR WILL ENGAGE AND UNLOCK THE TRUNK. THIS HAPPENS SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE IT WILL STAY LOCKED. ALSO WHEN THIS HAPPENS 2 OTHER ISSUES PRESENT. WHEN LOCKING THE DOOR USING THE LOCK BUTTON ON THE DOOR PANEL AND CLOSING THE DOOR WHILE STANDING OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE WITH THE FOB IN MY POCKET. THE DOOR WILL UNLOCK ITS SELF, THE HORN WILL BEEP AND THE LIGHTS WILL FLASH THIS ISSUE WILL HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE IT STOPS, OR I WILL USE THE KEY FOB TO LOCK THE DOOR. ALSO AFTER THESE 2 ISSUES PRESENT, WHEN STARTING THE CAR WITH THE KEY FOB IN MY POCKET THE DISPLAY ON THE DASH WILL READ KEY FOB NOT IN VEHICLE AND THE CAR WILL GIVE THE AUDIBLE TONE AS IF THE KEY WAS NOT IN THE CAR. ALL ISSUES PRESENTED WHILE THE CAR WAS PARKED AND WILL NOT REPLICATE EVERYDAY. THESE ISSUES HAPPENED A FEW WEEKS AGO AND I CALLED CARSON CITY DODGE IN NEVADA. APPOINTMENT WAS MADE AND I LEFT THE CAR WITH THEM FOR A FULL WEEK. I WAS NOTIFIED BY THE SERVICE ADVISOR THAT THE ISSUES WOULD NOT DUPLICATE. THE CAR WAS RETURNED TO ME ON 5/10/219. I WAS TOLD IF THE HAPPEN AGAIN TO CALL. I WILL BE DOING THAT TODAY 5/13/19. THESE ISSUES STARTED ON OR ABOUT 5/1/19.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 DODGE CHALLENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FACTORY EOM WINDSHIELD HAD A CRACK WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. THE DEALER (EAST HILLS CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM SRT, 2300 NORTHERN BLVD, GREENVALE, NY 11548, 1-(866) 386-2702) SERVICED THE VEHICLE, BUT HAD NOT SPECIFIED IF THE REPLACEMENT OEM WINDSHIELD WAS REPLACED WITH A NEWLY DESIGNED OEM WINDSHIELD. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND WAS TO FOLLOW-UP WITH A RESPONSE TO THE DEALER AND VEHICLE OWNER. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE NOT AVAILABLE.

DOOR WEATHERSEAL STRIP, BOUGHT CAR LATE 2016, SINCE 2017 I GET A LOUD SHARP SWISLE NOISE AT 70MPH IN OPEN AREA WITH SIDE WINDS, NOISE IT SO LOUD & SHARP & FAST THAT I HAVE ALMOST WRECKED BECAUSE IT COMES ON SO FAST & THEN GOES AWAY, DEALERSHIP HAS FINALLY DETERMINED IT'S THE WEATHERSTRIPPING THAT IS OBVIOUS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT BUT BECAUSE IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY & MY EXTENDED WON'T COVER IT & THE DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE $300. I FIGURE MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THIS ISSUE ALSO.

BATTERY FAILURE LIGHT BROUGHT UP ON DASHBOARD, BATTERY VOLTAGE HEALTHY BUT DASHBOARD READINGS READ OTHERWISE. OVER TIME CAR STALLED OUT, DISABLED ABS, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL AND BRAKES. SPEEDOMETER WENT UP AND DOWN AND POWER STEERING SHUT OFF. BURNING SMELL FROM ENGINE NEAR THE ALTERNATOR
