general problems of the 2019 Dodge Challenger

On my way to work on 9/28/23 my 2019 Dodge Challenger hellcat redeye engine just shut off at 65mph. I was in the left lane by the wall on i45 heading northbound. I instantly had a loss of power steering and braking. The engine just shut off. A check engine light came on and the dash said shift I to park to start. I was successfully able to get across 4 lanes of traffic to stop on the apron between o ram and side of freeway. When I shifted to park and to try to restart it would not start. Had to be towed to dealership where upon inspection they said the motor was locked. When broken down a valve just dropped into the cylinder and jammed into the piston and cylinder wall. Pieces also damaged the head and the supercharger and dealer says starter is fried. Mopar is digging in and acting like this isn’t an issue but online there are several class actions and forums about defective valve system in these engines. Had I been a novice driver or my wife with children jn the car she would likely not been able to get off to a safe place and stalled dead in the fast lane of a very busy houston roadway.

Have had several Dodge chargers and Challengers and oil cooler fails too soon I believe way to expensive to fix so soon in my opinion all it takes is for someone to over torque the oil filter cap during oil changes so many times and I believe starts the problem not including how cheap looking the oil cooler seems currently have a 2019 Challenger sxt awd and just noticed oil resting in the valley of the oil cooler here we go again same problem over and over again.

Was getting on freeway and hit the gas to accelerate and get ahead of the traffic. The Challenger would not accelerate fast (has a hemi) and car almost flew into me. Started testing the vehicle and it just wouldn't accelerate fast, it was stall slowly and pickup speed over 30 seconds or so. I brought it in to one shop and they said its probably a software update and to take it to Dodge and it should be free. Dodge told me it's probably not software, kept my car for 5 days and told me it was a software update and that they updated it for free but still charged me $175 for the "diagnosis" when I told them exactly what the issue was. And now that I got it back, it gets stuck in reverse, you have to turn the vehcile off and wait and start it again then it works. At a red light turn yesterday, it wouldn't drive forward and the "d" for drive started flashing.

My mileage time ometer keeps jumping from 56000 to 68000 time belt. My car is fairly new. This vehicle should not be doing this. The break I use to start the car nearly starts it. The breaks is not connected to the fuel pump correctly.

I owned a 2017 Dodge Challenger which had electrical issues and a defective uconnect radio system. A few months after purchasing the 2019 Dodge Challenger, I experienced electrical issues. The electric key system failed locking me outside of the vehicle while pumping gas. I had to enter the vehicle from the passenger side door. When I tried to exit the vehicle, I could not open the door. I had to climb over the center console to exit the vehicle from the passenger side. The key fab battery was replaced but the issue continued. The rear/front suspension failed in 2020. The westbury service department blew my alternator servicing while replacing the radiator and fixing the electrical issue with uconnect. The driver's side window would not roll down. It was stuck down in 2021. The door panel switches were replaced. The door issue was not resolved. I randomly remained locked out of the vehicle. I complained that the heat would turn on randomly inside of the vehicle. My headlights stopped working twice and my light bulbs were replaced although the bulbs were good. I couldn't see the road in front of me at night and almost drove off of a cliff. The radio/gps/bluetooth system continuously failed ten times. The service department replaced the radio. And amplifiers twice, although they were in working condition. This did not resolve the issue. The jamaica service department explained that the issues that have been occurring are electrical and tried replacing the fuses to fix the reoccurring issues. When I bought the car to them to fix the radio issue in 2024 my charging and usb ports stopped working. The fuse issue has since caused other safety hazards. They replaced the fuses several times and have explained that the entire electrical component "body harness wiring" must be replaced. I should not be responsible for replacing this part. When I bought the vehicle in for electrical issues while it was under warranty it should have been fixed immediately.

Tl-the contact owns a 2019 Dodge Challenger. The contact stated that when backing up his vehicle to park it jolted backwards. Then several indicator lights came on including the service shifter,service transmission, service engine, and the park car and turn off the engine. The gears were stuck in the park position and the engine was still running. The dealer bravo Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram of alhambra 1100 w main st, alhambra, CA 91801 (626) 283-5212 refused to help tow the vehicle. Two days later the dealer called back and asked the contact to pick up the vehicle and said there was nothing wrong. The contact picked up the vehicle and the same issue occured with all of the lights flashing. The contact stated the steering wheel was hard to control and recored the event. The contact slowly drove the vehicle back to the dealer. Three days later they found out there was a tracking device. They did not inform the contact at the time he bought the vehicle back in 05/2019. The tracking device destroyed the wiring in the vehicle . The dealer stated that they were going to remove the tracker and repair the wiring. The contact had informed the manufacturer and he was given a case number. The dealer finished the repairs and the contact retrieved his vehicle on 01/04/20. The same issue occured again while the contact was driving and he almost got into an accident. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer. The dealer test drove the vehicle for an extended mileage for over 100 miles . The issue occured again during the test drive. The dealer stated that the entire wiring system had to be fixed. The contact no longer wants to lease the vehicle and stated that fact to both the dealer and manufacturer. The failure mileage was 5,750. Tf.

Purchased the car brand new with 992 miles put on by the dealership owner (that's what I was told). Drove the car 8 hours, spent the night in hotel; left the next morning and at odometer 1626 going 75mph on the interstate the engine blew up. I was able to control the vehicle and bring it safely to the shoulder but all the engine oil had covered the roadway and metal pieces. Looked under car and saw part of a connecting rod hanging out of the oil pan.
