That the interior door panels had separated from the door frame causing the locking mechanisms to malfunction and the doors would not remain secured. The failure was present on the drive and passenger front door at this time. I have had this car for 5 years and it started the 2nd year that I have owned it. It is getting worse.
My car is a 2017 Dodge Charger...Passenger side door panel is warp baddly...Driver minimal...notice it beginning June 2020...Warranty expire before it develop.
Door panel is peeling off. It’s look like poor manufacturing quality.
interior door panel is separating from the door its self where the door and the panel meets at the top where the window is. This was first noticed on the front passenger door about 3 years ago and is now on all of the doors to some extent. This is causing an opening and gap where fingers could get caught or foreign objects could enter the interior of the door causing possible failure or malfunction of either or both of the doors or windows. This was addressed with the dealer who tried to say it was temperature related (as this is in the south west) and not covered under the extended warranty however, I have seen many posts from all over the country where several years and makes of dodge vehicles have similar issues.
LESS THAN A YEAR AFTER OURCHASING NEW 2017 DODGE CHARGER RT THE DOOR PANELS ON ALL 4 DOORS STARTED TO BOW AND SEPARATE FROM THE PANEL
THE INTERIOR DOOR PANELS ON ALL FOUR DOORS ARE LIFTING OFF AND PEELING AWAY FROM THE DOORS. THE PANELS ARE PEELING MORE AND MORE EVERY WEEK. EVENTUALLY, IT LOOKS AS THOUGH THE PANELS WILL COMPLETELY COME OFF AND EXPOSE THE INNER DOORS.
ALL FOUR DOOR PANELS ON MY 2017 DODGE CHARGER ARE LIFTED FROM THE DOOR. THIS BEGAN TO OCCUR APPROXIMATELY 2 MONTHS AGO. I BELIEVE THAT THIS ISSUE HAPPENED WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED OUTSIDE.
