“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.”
NHTSA complaint #11306765, filed 2020-02, 129,000 miles“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.”
NHTSA complaint #11218217, filed 2019-06, 44,000 miles“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.”

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. …”
NHTSA complaint #11080714, filed 2018-03, 18,500 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. …”
