2019 DODGE CHALLENGER Engine Problems

I owned a 2017 Dodge Challenger which had electrical issues and a defective Uconnect radio system. A few months after purchasing the 2019 Dodge Challenger, I experienced electrical issues. The electric key system failed locking me outside of the vehicle while pumping gas. I had to enter the vehicle from the passenger side door. When I tried to exit the vehicle, I could not open the door. I had to climb over the center console to exit the vehicle from the passenger side. The key fab battery was replaced but the issue continued. The rear/front suspension failed in 2020. The westbury service department blew my alternator servicing while replacing the radiator and fixing the electrical issue with Uconnect. The driver's side window would not roll down. It was stuck down in 2021. The door panel switches were replaced. The door issue was not resolved. I randomly remained locked out of...

My mileage time ometer keeps jumping from 56000 to 68000 time belt. My car is fairly new. This vehicle should not be doing this. The break I use to start the car nearly starts it. The breaks is not connected to the fuel pump correctly.

Have had several dodge chargers and challengers and oil cooler fails too soon I believe way to expensive to fix so soon in my opinion all it takes is for someone to over torque the oil filter cap during oil changes so many times and I believe starts the problem not including how cheap looking the oil cooler seems currently have a 2019 challenger sxt awd and just noticed oil resting in the valley of the oil cooler here we go again same problem over and over again

On my way to work on 9/28/23 my 2019 dodge challenger hellcat Redeye engine just shut off at 65mph. I was in the left lane by the wall on I45 heading northbound. I instantly had a loss of power steering and braking. The engine just shut off. A check engine light came on and the dash said shift I to park to start. I was successfully able to get across 4 lanes of traffic to stop on the apron between o ram and side of freeway. When I shifted to park and to try to restart it would not start. Had to be towed to dealership where upon inspection they said the motor was locked. When broken down a valve just dropped into the cylinder and jammed into the piston and cylinder wall. Pieces also damaged the head and the supercharger and dealer says starter is fried. Mopar is digging...

Was getting on freeway and hit the gas to accelerate and get ahead of the traffic. The Challenger would not accelerate fast (has a hemi) and car almost flew into me. Started testing the vehicle and it just wouldn't accelerate fast, it was stall slowly and pickup speed over 30 seconds or so. I brought it in to one shop and they said its probably a software update and to take it to Dodge and it should be free. Dodge told me it's probably not software, kept my car for 5 days and told me it was a software update and that they updated it for free but still charged me $175 for the "diagnosis" when I told them exactly what the issue was. And now that I got it back, it gets stuck in reverse, you have to turn the vehcile off and wait and start it again then...

THIS IS MY 2ND DODGE CHALLENGE I'VE OWNED. MY FIRST ONE WAS A 2017 R/T. THE REASON I MENTION THIS IS BECAUSE ITS THE SAME ISSUE I HAD WITH THE OTHER ONE. I KEEP UP WITH ALL THE MAINTANCE AND TAKE CARE OF MY CARS. THE PROBLEM FROM WHAT I'VE BEEN TOLD IS THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD AND THERE'S ALSO A KNOCKING SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE. ITS EXACTLY LIKE THE FIRST ONE I HAD AND TRADED IN. I COULDN'T GET IT FIXED BECAUSE ITS NOT COVERED IN THE FACTORY WARRANTY OR IN THE EXTENDED WARRANTIES I BOUGHT. SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO AND DODGE WANTS ME TO PAY HUNDREDS JUST TO LOOK AT IT WHICH I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO DO WITH A CAR THAT HAS LESS THAN 30,000 MILES ON IT AND ITS SOMETHING THAT I FEEL AND BELIEVE IS THEIR FAULT. I KNOW I'M NOT THE ONLY...

PURCHASED THE CAR BRAND NEW WITH 992 MILES PUT ON BY THE DEALERSHIP OWNER (THAT'S WHAT I WAS TOLD). DROVE THE CAR 8 HOURS, SPENT THE NIGHT IN HOTEL; LEFT THE NEXT MORNING AND AT ODOMETER 1626 GOING 75MPH ON THE INTERSTATE THE ENGINE BLEW UP. I WAS ABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE AND BRING IT SAFELY TO THE SHOULDER BUT ALL THE ENGINE OIL HAD COVERED THE ROADWAY AND METAL PIECES. LOOKED UNDER CAR AND SAW PART OF A CONNECTING ROD HANGING OUT OF THE OIL PAN.
