Challenger

  • miles
This is my 2nd Dodge challenge I've owned. My first one was a 2017 R/T. the reason I mention this is because its the same issue I had with the other one. I keep up with all the maintance and take care of my cars. The problem from what I've been told is the exhaust manifold and there's also a knocking sound coming from the engine. Its exactly like the first one I had and traded in. I couldn't get it fixed because its not covered in the factory warranty or in the extended warranties I bought. So I don't know what to do and Dodge wants me to pay hundreds just to look at it which I shouldn't have to do with a car that has less than 30,000 miles on it and its something that I feel and believe is their fault. I know I'm not the only one because every mechanic, oil changers I've gone too I ask them about it and they tell me so many of their customers complain about the same thing. I hope you can help. Thanks

Challenger

  • 1,626 miles
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.
