Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)Have had several dodge chargers and challengers and oil cooler fails too soon I believe way to expensive to fix so soon in my opinion all it takes is for someone to over torque the oil filter cap during oil changes so many times and I believe starts the problem not including how cheap looking the oil cooler seems currently have a 2019 challenger sxt awd and just noticed oil resting in the valley of the oil cooler here we go again same problem over and over again
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.
