2015 Dodge Charger. Door panels warping. Passenger door is the worse. It has bubbled up quite a bit and you cant get it back down. The interior door panel is also starting to warp. This is not the only place it has warping. The center console is bad. The back doors are also showing signs of begninng to warp.
The Door Panel is warping completely on the drivers side and part of the dash board also. I can't believe for a 2015 these issues are happening. It's pathetic.
Noticed a number of complaints about the same problem. This is a factory issue, and due to sunlight and or heat issues, I believe every factory car of similar style will be affected , this needs to be an active recall and the issue addressed. This is a manufacturing issue, the factory should be responsible for repair.
Update from Apr 11, 2022: EVERY CHARGER 2014 AND OLDER THAT I HAVE SEEN HAVE WARPING DOOR PANELS ISSUES--THIS IS A MANUFACTURES DEFECT PROUBLY DUE TO INFERIOUR PLASTIC BEING USED IN A HIGH HEAT SITUATION --THE PANELS CANT HANDEL IT AND RETAIN THERE SHAPE SO THEY WARP--DOESNT TAKE LONG TO HAPPEN --IF PARKED IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT IT WILL START TO HAPPEN WITHIN 12,000 MILES
This problem is a prime example of the shoddy workmanship that gives American automakers a bad name. The adhesive used to fuse these panels is woefully inadequate. FCA's engineers should be embarrassed at this easily avoidable flaw.
Bought car approximately around April 2016. After hurricane Harvey in 2017, I noticed the door panels on the drivers side starting to warp. The dealership where the car was purchased asked if I had reported the problem to Dodge Corp. and suggested that I do so. I've made a few attempts to contact Dodge via e-mail and phone calls but no luck. I fill this is a problem from the factory and Dodge should look in to it. Overall I am pleased with the car except for the door panels. One body shop quoted me a price of over $2000.00 dollars to replace panels. Hopefully Dodge will get more complaints about this problem and fix it under a recall.
Bought this piece of junk December 2017, dealer didn't even have the decency to record the original sale date so I would be informed when manufacturer's warranty would run out. Found out the hard way this past summer when I took it in for the cruise control recall and asked them to look at the front door panels because I was hearing lots of road noise, and noticed I could put my fingers inside the panels with the windows rolled down due to heat having warped them. I was informed my warranty had run out in June and it would be between $1500 and 2000 dollars to have them both replaced. I told them what they could do with their dealership and went on my way.
I took the car to a body shop where I got them glued down for $75 bucks but they didn't think the repairs would last. They were right, as they are slowly warping again but at least I'm not hearing the road noise again yet. Can't see replacing them since I'm sure the replacements would do the same thing in a couple years anyway.
