When in park for a few minutes, the interior lights will dim, then the engine sounds a little rough for a couple of seconds. Within a few of minutes of that happening, the engine will turn off by itself. It's happened several times. I changed the air filter and used fuel injection cleaner. However, it did it again about a week or two later. I'm wondering if the alternator is going bad. The last time it happened was 3/5/2020.
I purchased my 2014 Dodge Challenger r/t 6 speed manual transmission on January 6th 2014. This was my dream car and I never thought I could afford one. So it saddens me to have to go to this extreame to get some involvment on a issue that is being ignored. My first service was on febuary 11th. I took the car in because of engine noise. The dealer replaced the catalytic converter thinking that was the noise. On may 31st at 5,000 miles the dealer replaced the lifters on the car. These did not solve the issue and it was getting louder. You can hear it inside the car while driving. I took the car to another dealer at around 10,000 miles with the same noise complaint on November 8th. I called Dodge customer service after no resolution. They reffered me back to the dealer to do a diagnoises on the car. I picked the car back up on November 11th and the dealer informed me that this noise is and I quote "agree that noise is louder than a 15 model but noise is still there in a 15 model. Common noise that differ slightly from vehicle to vehicle. Reviewed TSB and star case. Lifters had been changed by another dealership. Conducted procedure in star case s1309000013 and inspected components for failures listed in star case s1309000028. Contacted star and there reply was slight valve train noise/clatter is characteristic of hemis. If like vehicle has comparable noise level no repair to perform. Noise may increase slightly with mileage. I have been back to the dealer recently to have this looked into again with no luck. There are 60+ of this issue documented with VIN #s on a forum which I am a member of and we all would be more than ahppy to provide information for.
