2018 Dodge Challenger problems, recalls and owner complaints

The Uconnect HMI/touchscreen in my 2018 Dodge Challenger has visibly delaminated and developed severe phantom touch inputs. When powered on, the screen registers commands without any physical contact. The failed touchscreen remains installed and available for inspection. The vehicle has approximately 19,600 miles. This creates a significant driver distraction and safety risk while driving because the touchscreen repeatedly activates functions and changes settings without my input, including HVAC controls, fan speed, camera activation, audio sources/stations, menus, and other…

Driving along and all of a sudden the shifter lights started flashing, wipers turned on, steering became difficult, and finally the transmission locked up. Stalled in the middle of the hiway turn lane and because the transmission was locked up it couldn't even be pushed out of the way. Traffic was backed up and people trying to get around because I was blocking a major hiway intersection. The dodge dealership has had the car 3 times and finally diagnosed it as the rack and pinion plug.

The contact owns a 2018 Dodge Challenger. The contact stated that the rims on the wheels of the vehicle were poorly designed and there were several cracks on the rims.

The dealer was notified of the failure, and the contact was notified that there were no recalls related to the VIN. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was…

I got the car on 4/13/2025 from a Toyota dealership with about 31000 miles they told me the car fax showed the car had 2 owners a regular customer and another dealership, they also told me they change the battery but they failed to disclosed that they took the car to a body shop to fix a dent and to be repainted, by mistake they offered me the Toyota warranty 5 years or 60000 miles , on 8/10/25 while driving the car it caught on fire luckily nobody got injured , after putting the fire off the fire department told us the cause of it was an engine malfunction only after 4 months and with about…

No power then open the trunk and the power comes back on!! Dash lights blink out and radio then window goes up and down! Will leave u stranded

Rear backup camera will sometimes either be distorted or have a black screen while in reverse. This is a safety hazard as dodge challengers have large blind spots and makes it difficult to see when backing up without the rear camera. This has almost caused me to hit another car and pedestrians as it's hard to see them due to the blind spots and not having the assistance of the camera. While driving in the rain, the front windshield will have streaks across the whole window, making it very difficult to see while driving in the rain. Windshield wipers have been replaced several times but issue…

Per the car fax report provided at time of purchase. This car supposedly not been in any accidents. I noticed that the lights when on are not leveled. I took it to a local Dodge dealer to fix and to my surprise we were told that the lights were not leveled because the car had been in a wreck before. There is no physical damage from what we can see however the cost to repair or level required extra work in order to complete and cost was very high. I feel that Toyota of Aneheim sold us a car knowing it had been in a wreck. When I called to see if they would repair they said no because I cannot…

ANY TIME THERE IS A FRONT END COLLISION, THE STEERING COLUMN INTERMEDIATE SHAFT MUST BE REPLACED WHEN REPAIRING. THAT WAS NOT THE CASE HERE BECAUSE EVERY TIME I DRIVE NOW, MY PEDALS ARE BINDING ON ME CONSTANTLY. ALMOST FEELS LIKE SOMETHING IS GETTING CAUGHT OR IS IN THE WAY AND I WAS DRIVING OFF A HIGHWAY RAMP AND I COULD FEEL IT IN THE PEDALS THAT IT WAS BINDING ON ME AND AS SOON AS I DRIVE OVER THE SMALLEST BIT OF WATER THAT WAS ON THE GROUND, I LITERALLY SPUN OUT OF CONTROL AND ALMOST DID A 360 AND CRASHED. THANKFULLY, NO ONE WAS AROUND ME, BUT THIS IS VERY UNSAFE. SAME THING HAPPENED IN MY…
