There is a loud popping sound when I start my car. It sounds as if the car is back firing. The sound has been duplicated several times. The sound does not happen every time, but it has happened well over 100 times. I have taken it into the dealership, and they claim that the sound can never be duplicated. Also, when I place my car in reverse and then drive the backup camera screen remains on in after driving forward for more than 30 seconds. This is VERY hazardous because when looking at the screen i can still see what is behind me which is a huge distraction.

I had a flat tire while driving to work and was unable to pull over for about a few thousand feet. As the tire went flat I swirled into the grass on a street without a shoulder. The tire snapped off and was not locatable. I filed a police report and called the police at time of incident. The total damage on the vehicle was under $3,000 but because the tire snapped off and damaged the firewall Dodge stated that the vehicle had to be a total loss. This was a 2019 challenger there should be no reason for a wheel to snap off like such. After visiting several Dodge chat rooms I have learned that this is very common with the challenger and needs to be addressed with a class action suit and safety recall! This happens very often to Dodge challenger consumers

My 2019 Dodge Challenger wheels on the front has been wearing and tearing from the inside causing rubbing on the outside of the wheels. When I drive there is an uneven drive with the wheels wobbly going down the road. I have rotate the tires every oil change. I am afraid that this will cause an accident. There were no signs of the tire pressure lamp was on. I went to the Dodge dealership in Bessemer, Al. At no avail did the mechanic checked the wheels only to say there are no recalls on this model. How can I get someone to check

My 2019 Dodge Challenger GT harness has been compromised. The electrical system in a vehicle, including the headlight circuit, is designed to operate within specific parameters to ensure safety and reliability. When a harness is compromised it can cause an electrical short circuit. In my case, this short circuit is causing a fuse to melt. A fuse is a safety device designed to protect electrical circuits from overheating and potential fires by breaking the circuit when excess current flows through it. When a fuse melts due to an electrical short caused by a faulty harness, it means that excessive current is passing through the circuit. This situation can be dangerous for several reasons 1. Loss of headlights: The melted fuse interrupts the flow of electricity to the headlights, resulting in them going out completely. This sudden loss of visibility can be hazardous, especially at night or in lowlight conditions, increasing the risk of accidents. 2. Overheating: The excessive current passing through the compromised harness generates heat, often leading to melting or damage to surrounding components. This can potentially cause a fire hazard, posing a serious risk to both vehicle occupants and the car itself. 3. Electrical damage: In addition to the headlights, a compromised harness can affect other electrical components in the affected circuit, such as the turn signals, fog lights, or other lighting systems. It can also damage the vehicle's control modules and wiring, leading to further malfunctions and costly repairs. Replacing the faulty harness is crucial to restore the electrical integrity of the headlight circuit and ensure proper functionality. By replacing the harness, you eliminate the risk of further short circuits, melted fuses, and potential damage to other electrical components. It is essential to address these issues promptly to ensure your safety on the road and prevent any potential accidents caused by reduced visibility or electrical malfunctions.

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 one because every mechanic, oil changers I've gone too I ask them about it and they tell me so many of their customers complain about the same thing. I hope you can help. Thanks

My tire suffered a major crack on the train to the sidewall on June 13, 2020 I called russell westbrook Dodge in van nuys to purchase a tire since this was an emergency they told me I had to wait three days because of ordering delays, so I had no other choice to buy another tire at another tire shop this tire was 305 3020 the standard stock tires are 305 35 20. I was unable physically to take my old tire with me since I came from a trip and my trunk and interior had luggage. I went to russell westbrook Dodge on June 19, 2020 with this concern and ask them at the very least to refill my tire with nitrogen which I paid $500 for and asked to check for my tire pressure on all my tires, both of these requests were denied I feel unsafe driving this car. I asked the service director of russell westbrook Dodge in van nuys to write a service docket detailing my situation and his denial to check my tire pressure and to fill my tires with nitrogen, as well as a potential alignment he declined all of these request and banned me from servicing my car, I feel very overwhelmed for my safety and for the safety of others because of this negligence brought by russell westbrook Dodge. I reached out to perelli tires llc and they declined to help me because I was an able to have the tire with me for inspection, if I had space in my truck I would've taken my tire. On another matter I contacted fca Dodge regarding steering clicking noise coming from my car when turning our parking the car between zero and 3 miles per.
