In a couple year span of Dodge Chargers, the panels on the doors separate from the plastic underneath causing it to lift up where the window goes into the door. On mine specifically it's the drivers side panel and the front passenger side panel. I have seen pictures on forums for Dodge Chargers where it's all of the doors with this issue. This is caused by no fault of the owner but clearly somewhere in the manufacturing of the vehicle either parts or materials weren't made properly. The cost to fix this on my own is around $700 per door panel, so $1,400 for both.

I was headed to work yesterday morning and before I got to work I heard a loud noice under the hood and smoke starting rolling out of under the hood. I pulled over to the closest intersection to get off highway and discovered oil all over the car and all under the car. I contacted my dealership that I just bought the car through (haven't even made the first payment) and they towed it back to the dealership. Further inspection they said the design of the car how it pulls air through the fender it sucked water up from driving down the highway and hydro locked the motor. I do zero first roads on my vehicles so it's definitely not right for this to happen driving down a highway and throw a rod through the motor. My extended warranty won't cover it nor will my insurance. It's a brand new car. I need help!!

There is a popping or cracking structural defect sound that is coming from the driver's side door or pillar between front and rear door. This is while driving normally not really on bumps but when you are on just a regular road. More when the road is uneven or when the body has some twist from uneven pavement. The first ride was with with christian the service advisor at lums driving the vehicle and heard the sound. He made the first appointment to look at it. 7/8/19 vehicle still under full warranty. Lums auto center in warrenton or, tried to do a blind repair by replacing the seatbelt tensioner. It did seem to calm it down but did not work and we have taken it back, a second time and they have stated they could not duplicate the sound. But they did open the door and checked it. 11/1/19 and yet again we are going to take it back again after christian the same service advisor that we have been working with drove with me and heard the sound again. 01/3/20 now the full warranty is over. The problem comes and goes and he states that it will be hard to find?? we do not believe that they are capable of fixing what really seems to be a structural problem...

My car was parked on a hit and run on August of 2018. My car was parked on a flood March 2019, my car has repairs covered by the insurance of $19,000 and it's still in the shop. I honestly think that my vehicle is not safe for me to drive.

Takata recall. The interior of my front driver and passenger doors are coming apart from the body of the door. Smart Dodge in pine bluff said they have seen it on a few other Dodge Chargers as well. It is a 2016 and I have only had it for a little over a year. The local dealership stated the only way it can be fixed is to replace the inside door panels. If this is happening to other Chargers, should there not be a recall on them? the picture attached is of the driver side. The passenger side is worse.

Passenger door interior trim is wrapping and peeling as well as floor trim of the drivers side next to the auto shift. Always maintain my vehicle and kept it clean and something like this happens and I got to pay out of my pocket to get it repaired.my extended warranty doesn't cover it.. this should be under warranty for sure as there should no reason this should be warping like this.

I have a 2016 Dodge Charger SXT. The cars door panels on all doors have began to peel back. This is causing the window framing to be exposed and causing the window to not be protected. This has become a national problem with these Dodge Chargers. There is no warranty out that can cover these issues. These are newer model cars that have defects that should be fixed. A recall needs to be put in place so that the people who are suffering from this issue can get it replaced with no cost or at a very low cost. Thank you for your time.

The interior door panel on the driver's side door is separating from the door leaving a gap between the window and the door panel. Apparently, this happens when it gets hot and the cheap foam adhesive fca used expands and causes the interior panel to separate.
