2016 Dodge challenger 392 engine. When shifting the manual transmission from second to third gear, there is a severe hesitation that lasts a few seconds. This hesitation is so severe that I have nearly been involved in 2 accidents. Once while turning left in front of on-coming traffic and once while trying to merge onto a highway. The engine loses all power for about 3-4 seconds before responding. This problem has also been reported by other owners on challenger car forums on the internet.

When I opened the cap of my coolant expansion tank, I noticed what looked like rust around the bottom of the cap. I inserted my finger into the tank and found rust inside the coolant. I brought the car to the Dodge dealership. They could not find any problems and claimed there was no rust. We went to the dealership and showed the cap to them. The dealer replaced the cap with an aftermarket cap. When I went to my mechanic for an oil change, he notified me that there seemed to be oil in my coolant. He proceeded to do a hydrocarbon test which resulted 483 ppm which was bad for emissions. We brought this information to a Dodge dealership who claimed there was nothing wrong with the vehicle again.

The contact owns a 2016 Dodge Challenger. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, there was a knocking and ticking sound coming from the engine compartment.

The rear trunk lid struts fail to keep the trunk open causing the trunk to close without warning and has hit me in the head several times while unloading groceries. It is also very hard to open as the trunk is quite heavy. This was noted to the dealer during the warranty period but they said they were unable to duplicate it. The struts need replaced. I feel this should be a recall since it has occurred since the vehicle was new. Someone could be severely hurt or become trapped in the trunk. The struts are under designed for the weight of the trunk.

The door panels are separating from the doors.

The rear camera wiring harness becomes loose from opening and closing the trunk. Over time the camera intermittently stops working. I had this repaired once by the dealer under warranty but it keeps happening. Now the warranty is expired so the dealer will not repair unless I pay for it. But the original repair did not solve the problem so I am not willing to pay them. When the camera goes out you have to open the trunk and giggle the wires to get it to work again. This has been an ongoing issues since the car was new. I noticed the recent Tesla recall for this same problem and decided to report it.

Back up camera intermittently does not work. Black or green screen. While in reverse with a foot on the brake. After returning to park and trying again it still doesn't work. And other times it works perfectly fine.

Battery failure light brought up on dashboard, battery voltage healthy but dashboard readings read otherwise. Over time car stalled out, disabled ABS, electronic stability control and brakes. Speedometer went up and down and power steering shut off. Burning smell from engine near the alternator

Uconnect will not add to devices, can't add phones to car for hands free driving. Software defect. My car is 3years old. There's no way this should be happening. I need satisfaction please.

Was taking off from a red light, got to about 15 MPH and there was a loud bang and I felt it from under the car. It then felt like I was dragging something under the car, but that couldn't be as I was behind another car and if there were something in the road, they would have hit it.
