At less than 70k miles, with full periodic servicing done by Dodge dealer (Moss Bros, San Bernardino, CA) all 12 engine rocker arm mounts failed and had to be replaced at a cost of $1,600. This is a common problem in a 3.6L Pentastar V-6 engine, per internet owner reports on Dodge internet groups. Not caused by normal wear and tear, shouldn't be happening at 60-70k miles.
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 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. The dealership goes up and beyond to avoid me, even while the car was in their possession for repairs for weeks. They never fixed anything in the car. I have video proof of them messing up the car and just leaving it for me to deal with. 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.
Cylinder 2 misfire culminated in a diagnoses of a chewed camshaft. Known but unacknowledged issue with poor lubrication to the lifters -- owner normally forced to pay for camshaft and lifter replacement.
2 issues here. Recalls are for UB4 evaporative emissions canister and V86 catalytic converter. Been trying to schedule this for 8 months. Fca and Dodge have a supply issue. Cannot get parts. Imo this is a massive failure. How are we supposed to comply if the company cannot issue parts? it is beyond ridiculous.

The windows in my 2015 Challenger is going up and down by themselves, gets stuck, and then won't go back up. Also the engine coils in my car burnt out and was leaking oil all through my car. When I got it fixed, the old coils were from the manufacture and had a broken seal. Was told that my car should've caught on fire with the amount of oil that was leaking.
Driving home in rain and got off highway service ramp. As soon as I turned right the car died. It said my key fob battery was low and would not restart. My son brought up my other key fob and it still would not start. No warning whatsoever came on stating anything was wrong. Could not get car in neutral even after releasing the shift inner lock. It had to be towed to my house.
I was traveling to work on a busy, 3-lane road. I was in the far-right lane sitting at a red light, waiting to continue straight. When the light turned green, my car just shut off and the display informed me to put my car in P (park) and then back into the desired gear. I put my flashers on and coasted into the closest parking lot of the right side of the road, where I turned my car off and then started it back up again. After restarting the car, there seemed to be no further problems. This was an extremely scary situation for me and I was thankful to be in the far right lane when it happened, thankful I was at a complete stop when it happened, and thankful nobody was injured. This is a serious problem that Dodge needs to address and get fixed. A recall needs to be placed for the safety of those on the roads.
I purchased a used 2015 Dodge Challenger scat pack with 6800 miles. The radiator started leaking at 7100 miles. I found the leak after highway driving. A puddle formed under the passenger front corner of the car. The dealer will not replace it since the oem warranty is expired. There are quite a few other owners with the same issue. I believe a recall is necessary and a possible revamping of the radiator so this does not happen to future owners.
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.
Issue #1 vehicle loses all power while stationary on a city street with no indication or warning. This has happened twice while waiting to enter the intersection. The car turns off completely and says to place car in park. Issue #2 this issue always occurs while accelerating from a stationary state; vehicle jumps with little pressure on gas, then power dips down, then back up over and over. The car resembles a bucking rodeo horse when this happens. It has happened several times while making a left hand turn across oncoming traffic and is a safety issue in that a power dip in the middle of an intersection inhibits the cars ability to clear an intersection safely.

The motor was making a groaning noise, it was taken to the dealership for diagnosis. The dealer claimed the water pump was defective but the car was still able to be driven.
