I own a 2012 SXT

It's very uncomfortable
The seats are cheap and squeak
The Radio is cheap

ok now the real problems

Headline broke still waiting to get replaced on back order due to the fact this is major problem with a lot of owners.

The rubber strip on the hood came loose and has to be replaced

The the black stripping below the tail lights buckled and was replaced twice

The automatic window didn't go down and the rubber stripping broke and had to be replaced

The key fob is always cannot detect

The trans is brutal . It jerks between 20-40 had the PCM adjusted still jerking.

The car looks good on the outside but the inside is a different story.

Worse car i have even owned,'
'
Never buying Dodge again, Waiting for the car to be paid off and will sell it to the first chump I see.

The latest I have heard on the headliner issue (and this is from a chrysler exec) is that the reason some owners cars headliners are falling down is because of all the anal belching (a.k.a farting) us Americans put the interior through. They have confirmed that Canadian customers with the same builds are not subject to the issue.

I guess it's because he bought a Challner SXT. They're just like Roollex's and other name brand knockoffs. Should have gotten a Challenger SXT instead. Other than that I got nothing, but I did move the thread into Challenger Issues & Problems.

I'm not here to troll. I'm 49 using a PDA sorry for the misspellings .
I'm just frustrated with my car . I added fog lights , tinted windows and a spoiler in the back . Made a lot of upgrades believing that I would keep this car for many years. I've had one problem after another . If there's a way to download pictures , I'd be glad to show you my car and all the paperwork on all repairs . All the technicians at zeigler Chrysler jeep in downers grove il know me by my first name . That's sad . I have been reading these threads ever since I purchased my car in 2012 but finally decided to post when I found out about the headliner . My wife noticed it on the passenger side . It's been two weeks and the headliner still is on back order . Back to the radio . You who own this model know that the front speakers are much more loader than the back . The seats are very uncomfortable & cheaply made . Prior to owning this car , I hade a Monte Carlo ss that I traded in for this car . Never once did I have it In the shop .

Okay, sell the car and move on.


The world is not a perfect place and sometimes you get a bad car... Doesn't mean every Challenger is a POS.

You really think the seats are uncomfortable!?

I believe the seats in the Challenger are comfier than any other car I've sat in. It's wide seat, yet firm and it has great leg and thigh support, I've done 6 hour drives where it feels like I could sit in it another 6 hours and not feel fatigued or sore.

My ticket reads as follows
Rubber strip came loose on hood : part ordered will notify customer when part is in.

Ordered headliner is back ordered will notify customer when part comes in to install . Winshield will need to come out so please contact George to schedule this appointment so I can have the glass company come out,

I spent over 25k & change therfore , I feel that I have the right to ***** , not to mention all the upgrades that I added.

As far as some on you calling me an idoit , let's discuss dialogues of plato? Do you read Noam Chomsky ? Let's discuss his book the logical structure of liguistics theory

If your description is accurate, sounds like you got a lemon. Unfortunately it seems to happen sometimes.

I've had zero problems with my 2013 so far. And my seats are comfortable and well put together.

Never noticed my speakers were louder in the front since I've never sat in the back.

Please don't throw around fancy authors and book titles to try and impress us. Real smart people don't need to boast in such crass ways.

Seems to me the company is standing behind its warranty in order to make you happy so I really don't know why you're posting here. We all love our cars. Go to a mustang or camaro forum to *****. There you will find a happy audience to spread your misery to.

Speaking of comparing seats .....

If I were to compare my Challenger to my Dad's 20 year old Crown Victoria, then yes, my seats are uncomfortable too. :wink3:

His have lasted 20 years as well, so they must have been put together well.

In addition, the Challenger suspension makes my ride bad.... it is too stiff, and I don't even have the SRT stuff! I can feel bumps in the road in my Challenger, and even go round corners! But not in the Crown Vic - it is so smooooooth. :grin2:
