56 Body problem of the 2016 Dodge Charger

Failure Date: 09/17/2019

In a couple year span of Dodge Chargers, the panels on the doors separate from the plastic underneath causing it to lift up where the window goes into the door. On mine specifically it's the drivers side panel and the front passenger side panel. I have seen pictures on forums for Dodge Chargers where it's all of the doors with this issue. This is caused by no fault of the owner but clearly somewhere in the manufacturing of the vehicle either parts or materials weren't made properly. The cost to fix this on my own is around $700 per door panel, so $1,400 for both.

This is while driving normally not really on bumps but when you are on just a regular road. More when the road is uneven or when the body has some twist from uneven pavement. The first ride was with with christian the service advisor at lums driving the vehicle and heard the sound. He made the first appointment to look at it. 7/8/19 vehicle still under full warranty. Lums auto center in warrenton or, tried to do a blind repair by replacing the seatbelt tensioner. It did seem to calm it down but did not work and we have taken it back, a second time and they have stated they could not duplicate the sound. But they did open the door and checked it. 11/1/19 and yet again we are going to take it back again after christian the same service advisor that we have been working with drove with me and heard the sound again. 01/3/20 now the full warranty is over. The problem comes and goes and he states that it will be hard to find?? we do not believe that they are capable of fixing what really seems to be a structural problem. . .

68 Body problem of the 2017 Dodge Charger

Failure Date: 03/01/2019

Interior door panel is separating from the door its self where the door and the panel meets at the top where the window is. This was first noticed on the front passenger door about 3 years ago and is now on all of the doors to some extent. This is causing an opening and gap where fingers could get caught or foreign objects could enter the interior of the door causing possible failure or malfunction of either or both of the doors or windows. This was addressed with the dealer who tried to say it was temperature related (as this is in the south west) and not covered under the extended warranty however, I have seen many posts from all over the country where several years and makes of Dodge vehicles have similar issues.

69 Body problem of the 2012 Dodge Charger

Failure Date: 02/05/2019

2 of the 4 bolt heads sheared off of the rear connecting points on the engine cradle. Drivers side time is unknown. Passenger side happened in my driveway when car was coming in to park. See photos. If the passenger side bolt head had sheared off on the road, I would have continued to drive the car. Could this have caused a severe accident while doing the common speed limit of 75mph? then the actual cause of the accident would have been overlooked as the sheared bolt heads would have been contributed to the accident. Cause of failure has been attributed to rust, but I cannot see a 1/2 bolt rusting through in 7 years, even if 5 years were spent in northern ohio. Repairs cost over $3800. 00.
