general problems of the 2017 Dodge Challenger

2017 Dodge Challenger 392. My radiator fan motor seized, causing the fan blades to explode sending plastic pieces into the radiator and other fuel lines. The fuel lines were my biggest concern because of fire. However, it did not. Next the repairs at a certified Dodge dealership cost me over $5,500. In damages to repair. This is a very known issue with Dodge srt models. Furthermore, not even a month later the other fan seized and exploded apart, once again causing complete failure of my 1 month old radiator, causing another $5,000 in damages to repair. This is a very well known issue on forums across the USA. Thank you.

My 2017 Dodge Challenger has an 8. 4 uconnect touch screen that is experiencing the common delamination defect. There are no warning lights or codes, and my car has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, or insurance. It is currently available for inspection, but as it has escalated to a safety concern I do not know how long I can keep it in the car. The screen started delaminating 4 years ago, conveniently months after the car was no longer under the 3 year warranty. In 2020 the dealer charged me the $150 diagnostic fee, and then told me the only thing to do was spend another $1500 to replace the unit. The delamination is happening due to known manufacturer errors in the glue used, and is not exacerbated by owner misuse. After 4 years, the delaminating has spread to over half of the screen and "ghost touches" have increased in frequency so much that they have passed inconvenient/cosmetic and have become dangerous. The touch screen holds more than entertainment and comfort settings, it is also how performance features, and safety features are accessed. These ghost touches started as just changing the radio station, but now opens the performance app, which can not be used while in drive. It will also commonly call the sos number. If this is activated, it will attempt an sos call every 60 seconds and there is no way to shut it off. This is distracting to the point of danger at 75 mph on the interstate. I would be less distracted using a cell phone than trying to ignore a screen flitting to something different every 2 seconds. The NHTSA defines distracted driving as "any activity that diverts attention from driving, including talking or texting on your phone, eating and drinking, talking to people in your vehicle, fiddling with the stereo, entertainment or navigation system — anything that takes your attention away from the task of safe driving. " I am not distracted by my own poor choices, a recall needs to be made to protect the drivers of these vehicles.

The lcd of the uconnect control panel has progressively continued to delaminated since about 12-18 months after purchasing. Recently it has become a driving hazard. It presses the screen at random, which has changed the engine performance mode while driving and engaged the manual transmission option while driving. It has made over 40+ phone calls in the past month and has dialed emergency sos services least once. I am now forced to repair the screen myself because no recall has been issued for defective lcd screens.

The touch screen display has suffered from delamination, which has caused serious safety issues for me and my passengers. The delamination has caused the display to become blurry and difficult to read, making it difficult for me to access important features such as navigation and hands-free calling while driving. This has been a significant distraction and has put myself and others at risk on the road. Here is the list of concerns 1. Caused navigation to improperly work 2. Causes temperature to increase without user input. 3. Makes calls without user input 4. Changes vehicle features such as engine and steering setting casting safety issues. 5. Causes bluetooth and radio issues distracting me while driving 6. Causes system to reboot while driving allowing for some features to not be accessible.

They preyed on me, they overcharged me for the car in the 1st place, they lied to me and tried to cleverly extort me while victimizing me with their predatory lending. And in the midst of that, they broke several laws. Therefore, after gathering all of the evidence that I have. . . I really feel they have taken advantage of me. I work hard for my money ( being away from my family, driving from state to state ) to provide/pay for nice things for my family like this big beautiful muscle car. Only to be victimized by the very company I purchased it from. Now. . . Any type of financing "anything" stresses me out. I worry will I be victimized again, from companies like coast 2 coast? and they have several locations just in the houston area. Therefore, I'm wondering how many people have they done this to? or how many people they might continue to do this to? this has me contemplating, should this be taken to the press / social media platforms and/or to congress/the police? to have the laws enforced/enhanced for companies like coast 2 coast who take advantage of their customers/consumers? furthermore, I'm thinking about launching this publicly to see if there are other people that they have done this to? if so, this could be a multimillion dollar class a lawsuit that would include all of their locations and this could possibly be the lesson they need to learn. In conclusion, I know that most companies that victimize people and break the law, think they can resolve these issues by returning all of the finances that the victim(s) paid. However, I see that to be extremely disrespectful and very unethical and completely wrong because it gives them a pass. Due to that, the resolution has no repercussions for the lending predators. And since they tried to gain a monetary advantage, they should experience a monetary disadvantage of "at least" twice as much! therefore, I would,ve paid close to $50,000 in total. So (rounding off) to $50,000 x 2 (twice) = $100,000 is what I want!!.

I went to jiffy lube on June 7,2021 for a regular oil change and they discovered that I have a major oil leak in my transmission panel and my car is only at 68,000 miles that’s a estimated guess but it’s for sure around that mileage.

Uconnect screen bubbled and the touch screen function causes it to do things randomly. This also affects the back up camera/viewing functionality. .
