Engine Noise Problems of Dodge Challenger

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. I take it to get a diagnostic and the technician shows me the history of the car stating that it had a replacement engine installed in the past. The dealer never mentioned the repairs to me before finalizing the deal once so ever. Now I brought it to their attention and they're telling me that I can trade it in but there's nothing they can do. The dealership is rick hendricks Chevrolet in duluth georgia, 3277 satellite blvd. The dealership goes up and beyond to avoid me, even while the car was in their possession for repairs for weeks. They never fixed anything in the car. I have video proof of them messing up the car and just leaving it for me to deal with. I also have voice recorded conversations with sales associate managers at the dealership who lied to me and my father in our faces about certain information regarding the deal.

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.

This is in regard to the Dodge t36 alternator recall. After the recall was announced, my car was affected. I want to add another report. In mid 2017, a higher pitch noise was coming from the engine. 2 to 3 months later, I took the car to my dealer who affirmed the noise was the sound of the alternator charging. The recall replacement part was not available. As long as I was operational, the advice was to wait. 2 months after the dealer visit, while driving one morning, my alternator failed, the battery was dead, and my engine died. When I left out that morning, a couple of the idiot lights came on which was weird. Then 15 minutes later, while in traffic on a busy road, the radio was glitching, many of the warning lights came on, power steering went out. I was able to move over to the right lane, though nearly sideswiping another vehicle in the process. The engine then just ceased. I was able to coast to a stop in a safe spot. No power whatsoever. Car towed to dealer. Dealer claimed battery, which was the original, did not die as a result of the alternator failure. To me, the timing says otherwise. If the battery was on its way out, this sure finished it off. Dealer installed a new battery and a replacement alternator - but this was the existing non-replacement alternator stock. Once the recall replacement part becomes available, whenever that will be, I will need to take the car in again to have that put in if it's a replacement part to the alternator. Otherwise, if it's a whole alternator unit, then they will swap out the existing stock new one I received. Dealer/mfr did not cover the cost of the new battery. They did replace the alternator at no cost.

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.
