Chrysler cannot fix my brand new charger

2018 Dodge Charger SXT 4dr Sedan (3.6L 6cyl 8A)

Car developed a problem at 100 miles and two days into owning it. Dealer - on Chrysler’s so so - has replaced a sensor, two oil pumps, a cam chain tensioner, a PCM, a radiator, and a engine wiring harness. Still not fixed. Car has been at dealer over a month now. Chrysler expects me to continue waiting. No other option. Just terrible customer service!

Finally my own Hemi: R/T Plus/Super Track Pak

After years of pining and lusting over Mopar muscle cars, I finally took a leap ... I am 6 months in to my lease of a Destroyer Grey 2018 Dodge Charger R/T with Plus Package and the Super Track Pak. I have been leasing Hondas, Infinitis, and most recently a Lexus GS350 F-Sport, and this is my first non-Japanese car since 2001. With 6 months and 9,000 miles, I am extremely satisfied with the car based upon its intended use as a performance-oriented large muscle car. The car has surprised me with its premium feel, and continues to put a smile on my face every day with every start. I had been seeking a Scat Pack 392 for months, but I decided the added expense for the larger lease payment, gas, and insurance wasn't worth it - and that pragmatically I would be unable to really fully use and enjoy the 392's power. The Super Track Pak option includes the SRT body work and goodies that comes with the Scat Pack (front fascia, rear fascia with 2.75-inch round exhaust tips, hood with intake bulge/duct, side sills, Dodge Performance Pages, and allegedly a "performance" suspension (an upgrade from the AWD and base R/T "sport" suspension, but not the all-out "high performance suspension with Bilstein shocks" that is standard on the Scat Pack - all of which is now standard on 2019 Charger R/T models). The combination of the Plus Package with Super Track Pak also "releases" the nicer front seats - the leather/suede Alcantara heated and ventilated seats. They look nice and feel great, and it's one of those features that continually reinforces feeling satisfied with the car. Other options include Navigation, Moonroof, and black painted roof. The 5.7 Hemi V8 is plenty powerful for daily use and with the Active Exhaust (and round exhaust tips), it sounds amazing, delivering an old-school, deep burble; I am a muscle car and Mopar enthusiast, and this scratches the itch!! Using remote start is a guilty pleasure just to hear the Hemi start-up. Full throttle get-aways and highway passing reveals an all-out beastly sound from the engine - and it's glorious. Gently rolling into first gear from a standstill and then really stepping on it breaks the rear wheels loose. If driving in the rain, I suggest you have nearly a full tank of gas and avoid sudden throttle inputs of more than 1/3 of pedal travel - you can break the rear wheels loose in the rain if you're not exercising just a bit of restraint. It reminds me that the 392 would have been too much for my daily use. The 8-speed automatic transmission is excellent. I love the louder exhaust in Sport Mode, and in combination with manual shifting, is a tremendous amount of fun. One item to point-out for anyone seeking a very high level of performance: The transmission does not shift as quickly as in the 392 models, even in Sport Mode, however the shifts are still very satisfying and quick enough. I find the ride and handling to be an excellent and impressive balance. It's smooth, handles corners with surprisingly little body roll, and inspires confidence. My car with the Super Track Pak and advertised "performance" suspension felt definitively more premium and less rough than the two base R/T cars I drove. I find the interior pleasurable and relatively easy to use - yes, some interior bits don't have the best fit-and-finish, but it's clear that Dodge/FCA are making improvements. The U-Connect system is good, and the inclusion of Apple Car Play is excellent - I use it all the time. I think I've used the U-Connect navigation twice in 6 months. The Dodge Performance Pages are fun - I have tried Launch Control and I think it's very good, though not necessary. Although not advertised as such, the car has "automatic climate controlled seats and steering wheel." If it's really cold, the heated driver seat and steering wheel automatically go on. If it's really hot, the ventilated/cooled driver's seat goes on. This is a great luxury. Fuel economy is as expected. With 80% highway and 20% city including manual mode fun driving, I achieve 18 to 19 mpg on 89 mid-grade. On a 260 mile trip I achieved 26.5 mpg. Gripes include: Not enough room in the foot well - some shoes rub on something when I lift from accelerator to brake pedal. I can't figure out how to have text messages send an audible alert while driving, both with and without using Apple Car Play; I constantly miss text messages. On just 2 or 3 songs, the speakers emit an odd and disturbing sound - almost like the sound of the locks locking. Haven't brought it in yet to the dealer for this issue. The red gauge accents do not provide enough clarity in the speedometer and tachometer, and I find it difficult to quickly scan the gauges while driving. There should be more rear leg room and space in a car this big! Make the automatic rain-sensing wipers part of the Plus Package!!! More than an upgraded sound system, I wish I had the rain sensing wipers. I am very, very satisfied with leasing my Charger R/T.

Reliable, Powerful, Responsive

First off, I wanna say I have the charger model and not challenger. ( both have literally every component and engine part the same except the cab) This car is my child. It’s insane speed, roaring exhaust and intimidating look made it an easy choice for the car of my purchase. The only con I have with this car is the MPG. It’s not good and it’s even worse when you drive it around everyday like it’s stolen. HOWEVER, when you buy a car like this you know what you are getting into. No one should be complaining, especially if you Daily drive it, like me.

Dream car - I just love this TOY!

I started researching this car starting with the 2015 model and learned as much as I could about the car, my concerns were the stories of reliability at that time. What I did see was improvement every year and the car getting great ownership reviews. Once the 2018 model came out, I started noticing fewer concerns from owners on repairs and reliably. Significant improvement in the selection of trims and what could be added creating excellent value for what you got with the package. So in March 2018 when my old car started to cost me more to own than repair, I decided it was time to pull the trigger and start looking for my dream car, which I had obsessed for 3 years learning everything about it good and bad. I purchased a Dodge Charger R/T -Granite color - plus package - navigation and travel -super track pack which comes with the most awesome rims and hood scoop. I just love the way I feel in this car, not only does it look and sound fantastic its a joy to drive. 1 year of ownership with no issues and excellent performance, I even love to do my own detail on the car as it gives me great pride in ownership.
