2015 DODGE CHALLENGER Suspension Problems

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...

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...

I WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN ON A 4 LANE CITY STREET AND HIT A POT HOLE AFTER HITTING THE POT HOLE MY STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO SHAKE. I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT AND NOTICED MY FRONT PASSENGER TIRE WAS BOWED OUT AND THE CAR COULD NO LONGER BE DRIVEN. AFTER HAVING A TOW TRUCK COME TO THE SCENE I WAS TOLD THE STEERING KNUCKLE HAD BROKEN IN HALF AND THE WHEEL ALMOST COMPLETELY DETACHED.

FRONT END MADE A SQUALLING SOUND WHEN MAKING TIGHT RIGHT TURNS ON THE ROAD AND IN PARKING LOTS.
