2015 Dodge Challenger Problems

The vehicle's engine has suffered a catastrophic internal failure at approximately 56,000 miles. The engine is the 6.4-liter HEMI V8. The issue began with a loud ticking noise from the engine. I brought the vehicle to Stoneridge Chrysler Jeep Dodge of Pleasanton for diagnosis. At that visit, the dealership lubricated an unspecified component and instructed me to continue driving. The ticking noise temporarily subsided. Shortly after, the check engine light illuminated. I returned the vehicle to the same dealership, where the technician retrieved diagnostic trouble code P0303 (cylinder 3 misfire). Upon further inspection, the technician found scoring on the cylinder 3 wall, a persistent loud ticking noise from the engine, and metal contamination in the engine oil sample. The dealership diagnosed the failure as requiring a complete engine long block replacement at a quoted cost exceeding $23,000. The powertrain warranty has expired based on the 3-year time limit; however, the vehicle has fewer than 56,000 miles, which is well below the warranty's mileage threshold and exceptionally low for a vehicle of this age. The vehicle has been properly maintained throughout ownership with regular oil changes and scheduled service intervals. No aftermarket modifications have been made; the engine and all related components remain factory stock. I contacted Stellantis customer care to request assistance. They stated that because the vehicle is no longer under warranty, there is nothing they can do, and that the dealership should have submitted a goodwill assistance request on my behalf. The dealership said they would look into it. A complete engine failure at this mileage on an engine marketed as a high-performance powerplant suggests a manufacturing or material defect rather than normal wear and tear.

42,000 miles drive shaft failure. Dealer stated drive shaft is ready to fall off. Completely stock vehicle, 1 owner.

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.

Back Up Camera is glitching and not detecting items behind me. I noticed that this item was a recall at one time but when I put my VIN it does not indicate a recall.

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.

The back up camera cuts on and off and doesn’t work most of the time and then my abs and traction control light comes on and off

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.

On [XXX], I was involved in a serious motor vehicle collision in Arkansas while driving my Dodge Challenger. The crash was severe enough that the vehicle was declared a total loss. Despite the severity of the collision and significant front-end damage, none of the airbags deployed at any point during the crash. As a result of the collision and the failure of the airbag system to deploy, I sustained physical injuries and required approximately nine months of medical treatment and physical therapy. Based on the severity of the impact and the level of damage to the vehicle, I believe the airbags should have deployed and that their failure may indicate a defect in the airbag system or crash detection sensors. I am submitting this complaint so the incident can be investigated as a potential safety defect. I am concerned that this issue could pose a serious safety risk to other drivers if the airbag system fails to deploy in similar collisions.

My car started giving warning signal on dashboard and would not function properly my car speed wouldn't stop and wouldn't break I ran off road and wrecked no other vehicles were involved and my airbag did not deploy when I wrecked no airbags came out but my computer is still showing airbag system needs service my airbags did no come out, the steering wheel cover popped off and the roof panels are popped out of seams but no air bags came out at all my cruise control is not working now and my seatbelt would not unlock when I wrecked now the seatbelt alarm will not stop going off even when it's buckled I'm now having electricel issues and service warnings that' came on before car wrecked are all still on I have had some body work fixed since wreck but stopped having things fixed from wreck on car because I'm scared to drive it now I feel unsafe I don't know what to expect I'm scared airbags are gonna pop out now since they already went off and nothing came out I have not had it checked or taking it to dealership since it's been in shop for some of the body work repair but I never finished repairs I spent 4200 in body work and more is needed but I'm scared to drive my car it's got to much crazy stuff going on all the dash readings are still showing and the reading for airbag that is still on

Fuel tank fill side housing cracked.

MY HEADLIGHT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE KEEPS GOING OUT WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY. IT'S OUT FOR A FEW DAYS AND THEN IT COMES BACK ON FOR A FEW DAYS AND AGAIN IT'S OUT. THE DEALERSHIP DID A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHT WAS GOOD.

THE FUSES THAT RUN TO BOTH MY LEFT AND RIGHT HEADLIGHTS KEEP GETTING BURNT OUT .THEY BURNT OUT WHEN I TURNED THE CAR ON .

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

MY 2015 DODGE CHALLENGER SCAT PACK HAS DEVELOPED A RADIATOR LEAK THAT SEEMS TO LOSE COOLANT WHEN DRIVING. I HAD FIRST NOTICED THE COOLANT LEVEL DROPPING BACK IN DECEMBER, 2017 WHILE MY CAR WAS IN STORAGE. 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.

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.

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.

Back Up Camera is glitching and not detecting items behind me. I noticed that this item was a recall at one time but when I put my VIN it does not indicate a recall.
