So I traded my 13 5.0 in when I bought a 2016 Hellcat Charger. I liked the 5.0 and had lots of $$$ in it, but was tired of the manual trans and didn't want to drop more $$ to do a auto conversion. And, I also wanted some extra space so the Charger fit the bill for a fun car with more space
I bought the HC new with 11 miles and have put on just under 29,000. It was a DD while living in FL, but I was WFH so it wasn't a regular commuter.
~5,000 Miles - Supercharger had the infamous bearing noise. Dealer replaced.
~10,000 Miles - Clunking noise front rear under slow turn. Dealer has TSB to change gear oil weight.
~20,000 Miles - Same as last SC issue, dealer replaced.
~23,000 Miles - Rearend was leaking fluid and growling noticeable, dealer replaced unit.
~23,500 Miles - Fuel evaporator issues, emissions.
~27,500 Miles - P062a code (fuel system). Dealer replaced sending unit.
~28,200 Miles - P062a, this time, bad fuel rail. Again, replaced.
~28,800 Miles - P062a, this time, fuel pump not holding pressure. Replaced
~28,850 Miles - Car went limp on highway, no power to accelerate. Stalled on side of road. Dealer reports fuel pump failure.
~28,900 Miles - Go to start car in garage, hear a pop when key to run position. Car cranks but will not start. Same symptoms of the last fuel pump failure.
The rearend is currently growling again, transmission is having downshift issues from 2-1 upon coming to a stop; noticeable delay. The interior has more rattles than my old foxbody. A key note, I am 100% stock. No performance mods at all.
I have thought low of Dodge all the way back to an 2008 Ram and swore I would never touch another. I really wish I had at this point. I think all I can do is fight the dealer to fix this long enough to trade in somewhere at a loss. I have lost all confidence this thing can even get me down the street.
