Raving Reviewer. Known Problems of the 2015-2022 Dodge Challenger.

[@nickpolselli2032]

You forgot to talk about carrier bearings on the 2 piece drive shaft and the v6 problem of the oil cooler under the lower intake

[@316Autos]

I must be getting rusty, I hadn't even heard of those problems, but you are correct. I can't believe they even used a 2 piece driveshaft, I've only ever seen them on trucks.

[@nickpolselli2032]

@@316Autos what happens over time is the rubber in the carrier breaks. If driven normal. Average is 80-90k. You beat in the car. Allot less. My one 15 went at 64. My other went at 82k. The worse part. The carrier bearing IS NOT serviceable!!!! You MUST replace the whole drive shaft when this goes.

[@316Autos]

@@nickpolselli2032 I was reading on the pre 15's, you can get another carrier, and I've seen some aftermarket solutions, but yeah, it seems like a giant pain to deal with. Something that an independent rear end car should never have.

[@nickpolselli2032]

@@316Autos the drive shaft through dodge is about 1200 plus labor. You can do aftermarket one piece. But you have to also do lock out bushings in the rear so you doht twist it. But the time your sone with that parts and labor. Your at about 3 grand. Remember. These cars are built in a c class Mercedes platform. Hell the steering rack is 2 grand plus labor for oem.

[@ShiftySlavic]

I watched a lot of reviews on this car this one was the most helpful! Thank you Sir.

[@mustangcircut]

You hit the nail on the head!! I have a 17 charger scat pack. You forgot to mention the screen starts delaminating in the corner and that needs to be replaced. Not to mention wanting to put my fist through the screen. Also to mention the paint on the hoods. Corrosion issues due to improper sealing from factory. I’ve had to have mine redone that was covered under warrantee. Doing it again. Maybe I’ll get a carbon fiber hood. All for a car that sits in her garage like a princess and only has 15k. This was my first brand new car and I absolutely love it!!! The body is awesome and a head turner. I also purchased the z automotive tazer which gives you the Daytona settings srt screen and works with active exhaust ect. Car is nice for the front engine 4 door rear wheel drive guy/gal. It is an aircraft carrier but it will get out of its own way. Great video!!!!

[@billhamilton7524]

Never seen that color ,,absolutely stunning ,,nice job sir ,sold me

[@316Autos]

Lot of people don't like yellow, but I thought it and plum crazy were the two best colors.

[@dualityofman1253]

No B.S., informative & funny too. Thanks for one hell of a review! 👍

[@316Autos]

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.

[@beerdragon4583]

Is there a way to just completely replace or delete the uconnect system?

[@316Autos]

Basically every system is tied into it, it's there to stay. You could remote mount your own radio to at least get music, but no, a full delete is next to impossible.

[@JohnSargent-r4l]

I just bought a 2020 scatpack 1320 with 7000 miles and I fucking love it!!! MERICA!!!!!

[@Tool_jira_shugg]

I’m the same “Only V8s in a muscle car” purist. But I rode in my friend’s Challenger SXT+ back in college and the acceleration actually threw me back in the seat a bit.

[@316Autos]

Yeah, I mean it's right there on par with the old LT1 and 4.6L DOHC engines of the 90's. Out of a dinky 6, it's not that bad. My sister had one in her Durango and it knocked down mid 20's on mpg and never felt lacking on power.

[@MrDickiemarley]

Is 2014 RT model worth buying ? I found with 102,000 miles on it .

[@316Autos]

Depends on the price, but absolutely. They're amazing cars. The RT is a bit slower, especially with the 5 speed auto, but still worth it.

[@khalifgreen581]

My 2018 u connect screen delaminated before I traded it in.

[@316Autos]

I looked at a 2018, had 63K miles, was in great condition, and the screen had delaminated.

[@ChrisWWade]

I just purchased my First Challanger, more for a toy then tranportation. I love the car, even after all this bad press, I could see myself buying a second. Inwill wait for the price to pool back.

[@fulcrumsee5968]

This muthafucka said i cant afford that so i aint got no thoughts on it besides damn😂😂😂

[@316Autos]

Do you think I was renting the car in the video?

[@fulcrumsee5968]

@@316Autos no its just funny what u said. Because that's my thoughts on a Hellcat. Why I'm stuck with a 1320 can't afford a redeye 🤣🤣

[@lilmike2710]

SRT jailbreak edition boasts 807 horsepower. Man that's a ridiculous amount of power. 🐎 I've seen drag cars with chutes and wheelie bars that had less power than that.

[@316Autos]

Oh I know. It's ridiculous how much power is being made in this era. Might be the end of the line for gas, but it's a hell of an end.

[@MidnightMechanic]

Is it easy to work on? Probably not.

[@316Autos]

Actually, yeah. The engine bay is huge. Suspension is a bitch on all of the LX platform cars though.

[@haulincashwithmikeed5961]

I fuckin love this guy 😆 🤣 😂

[@316Autos]

Glad you enjoyed.

[@twiceonsundays]

Funny review, but I agree 100%. I love this car!

[@billhamilton7524]

I have admired this car for years and finally got serious about buying one but I live in Washington state and could not find the car I wanted here ,had to have the manual and a few other goodies . but I found one in Florida ,flew down and drove it home ,coast to coast ,when I got home I felt like turning around and doing it again ,,that should say it all,,I wish I could have found that off yellow but went with frostbite and black hood ,TA However after a couple tanks of gas I noticed an engine tic tic tic ,,it has gotten a little worse ,,fuck I hope I didn't get a lemon and hoping its common for other 5.7 owners

[@316Autos]

Dang, that's a heck of a trip, but you have the right car for it. Frostbite with a black hood is a sinister combo. The hemi tick is extremely common, if you're worried, have Dodge look at it, but there's a decent chance it's harmless.

[@billhamilton7524]

@@316Autos Yeah it was a long cruise for sure ,,pretty sure I know what the dealers gonna say right ,,totally normal sir , ,I trust biden more then I trust dealers ,,,well almost anyway ,hahaha FJB

[@PunchRhymes]

Great info! I've been wanting a Rt forever. pretty ridiculous pricing now unfortunately

[@316Autos]

They've always been ridiculous and I don't think it's getting better with them being discontinued. Still worth it.

[@RacerRC]

U take loud deep breaths

[@316Autos]

I've got a loud mouth, takes a lot of air to power it.

[@WhatRYouAimingAt]

Fucking loved the end lol

[@mysnackr]

Also adds a +100% increase in probability of being carjacked in a metropolitan area

[@316Autos]

That can be said for most of the cars I buy. I'm used to it by now.

[@anoni81b4u]

The 1980s called .... They want their couch back

[@316Autos]

I stand by that couch, its incredibly comfortable. I also have a leather massage chair to bring me into the new age.

[@dylano7242]

I thought wanted even the v6 challenger but still expensive snd those never had a manual transmission. so went with a cheap 2007 mustang v6 5sp 150k miles i bought for $3,000 in 2023. I just want fun weekend driver not a drag car. And so far the mustang been great Tons aftermarket parts that are beyond cheap to clap out to my preferences. And a smaller car with a manual transmission so more fun than a boat dodge challenger. And the 2007 old mustang isnt sought after like the challenger so theives aren't targeting it . Though i fully admit the challenger cars are way better looking than any mustang

[@super20dan]

just for fun would like to see him do the second gen chevy equinox -would be epic as its a real turd

[@316Autos]

Never had the pleasure of one of those. I always stuck to the Blazer.

[@conanlive3784]

I didn't know the UConnect was a POS.....other reviewers haven't really mentioned it being crappy. I haven't had many problems yet in my '23 Scat, but only had it 6 months. My backup screen is what I'm upset with.....so dim and dark. I have a '19 Ram and that screen is just fine. Youd think a 4 year newer vehicle with a screen made by (probably) the same company wouldnt be so much worse. Other than that, love the car. Just wish the hood rats didn't love it too, already had one attempt to boost it.

[@316Autos]

Yeah, they got sued back in 2019, and there's another class action that's being investigated right now. It's hit and miss on problems, my sister's Durango had similar problems to my Challenger, but my dad's 19 Ram had way fewer bugs. Yeah, being one of the most stolen cars in America is a real pain.

[@BoominRedBoi]

😭😭😭 the u connect

[@316Autos]

That damned Uconnect system. Haven't had a single one that wasn't a buggy mess.

[@Nathan-io1mu]

Thanks bro😂

[@tobiashartl2875]

😂😂😂 nice 👍🏽

[@adamspitfire]

so the only problem aside from dumbass maintenence is a carphone? damn, im sold who gives a shit about that just take it out for weight reduction xD

[@316Autos]

It's a little more than the carphone. It's the sport mode, the radio, the climate control, etc. A lot of systems are accessed through that unit. But yeah, it's worth it.

[@DEXTERSONEMANBAND]

🤣👍

[@santaclause2875]

In the same club...only V8's for me in any type of performance vehicle. Don't even get me started on the fricken SOUL-LESS electric cars nowadays, with their FAKE engine sounds and shyte. Absolutely soul-less. But I hear that Greta will drive nothing but an EV. How DARE her!

[@selfoblivionalex6262]

How about Mustang I4 still an internal combustion engine.
