2015 Dodge Challenger Engine Problems

At less than 70k miles, with full periodic servicing done by Dodge dealer (Moss Bros, San Bernardino, CA) all 12 engine rocker arm mounts failed and had to be replaced at a cost of $1,600. This is a common problem in a 3.6L Pentastar V-6 engine, per internet owner reports on Dodge internet groups. Not caused by normal wear and tear, shouldn't be happening at 60-70k miles.

2 ISSUES HERE. RECALLS ARE FOR UB4 EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS CANISTER AND V86 CATALYTIC CONVERTER. BEEN TRYING TO SCHEDULE THIS FOR 8 MONTHS. FCA AND DODGE HAVE A SUPPLY ISSUE. CANNOT GET PARTS. IMO THIS IS A MASSIVE FAILURE. HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO COMPLY IF THE COMPANY CANNOT ISSUE PARTS? IT IS BEYOND RIDICULOUS.

CYLINDER 2 MISFIRE CULMINATED IN A DIAGNOSES OF A CHEWED CAMSHAFT. KNOWN BUT UNACKNOWLEDGED ISSUE WITH POOR LUBRICATION TO THE LIFTERS -- OWNER NORMALLY FORCED TO PAY FOR CAMSHAFT AND LIFTER REPLACEMENT.

I PURCHASED A USED 2015 DODGE CHALLENGER SCAT PACK WITH 6800 MILES. THE RADIATOR STARTED LEAKING AT 7100 MILES. I FOUND THE LEAK AFTER HIGHWAY DRIVING. A PUDDLE FORMED UNDER THE PASSENGER FRONT CORNER OF THE CAR. THE DEALER WILL NOT REPLACE IT SINCE THE OEM WARRANTY IS EXPIRED. THERE ARE QUITE A FEW OTHER OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I BELIEVE A RECALL IS NECESSARY AND A POSSIBLE REVAMPING OF THE RADIATOR SO THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN TO FUTURE OWNERS.

THE MOTOR WAS MAKING A GROANING NOISE, IT WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE DEALER CLAIMED THE WATER PUMP WAS DEFECTIVE BUT THE CAR WAS STILL ABLE TO BE DRIVEN. THE DEALER REPORTED A BACK ORDER ON THE REPLACEMENT PART AND ALLOWED ME TO TAKE THE CAR AND CONTINUE DRIVING UNTIL THE PART CAME IN. WITHIN 200 MILES, THE MOTOR DEVELOPED A SQUEAKING NOISE AND THE ENGINE WOULD SURGE UNCONTROLLABLY. THE CAR WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER DETERMINED THE SQUEALING AND SURGING AS THE WATER PUMP HAD FAILED AND THE CAR WAS DETERMINED NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. THE PART HAS BEEN ON BACK ORDER IN EXCESS OF ONE MONTH.
