ok so I bought this Dodge Charger scat pack with 11,000 miles very clean car. Drove it home my wife and I very excited.. well my wife drives the car daily and she tells me the car makes a vibration and a weird noise along with it when at a stop light or at the drive thru.. so I got in it and sure enough it has a stumble grinding sound coming from the engine . It almost sounds like it’s trying to misfire and stumbles trying to correct itself . I took it to the dealer they say they hear it had it in for 3 days trying to figure it out . They say they can’t make it rough idle after 3 days so I drove there start it up and walla it rough idles right away it does it ever time the car is runnin .then the mechanic kid comes out with his laptop and is reading for misfires and it’s not missing then 1 mis fire pops up . So I said it just missed right there and he’s said yeah but just one time ! I’m like I don’t think it supposed to skip a beat man his service advisor didn’t think it was a problem lol So anyway then they said they think it’s because it has the mid muffler delete.. and I bought the car like this from them as a certified preowned car . So fully under warranty and I know it’s not from the exhaust it’s definitely somthing in the motor.. any way now they think it’s the plugs they replaced them and that didn’t fix it .. now they are claiming it must be the exhaust so there goin to try to change the exhaust to fix it .. the thing is I’ve sat in 5 other scat packs and some with cut mufflers and those cars didn’t rough idle like mine does. I’ve had other ppl that own scats sit in my car one works in the sales at dodge and they say yeah that’s definitely not right .. and other mechanics also sat in it. And they say the same . There was one scat pack I sat in that was used and looked like it was abused and that car made the same noise as mine and it was bone stock no exhaust mods so it can’t be the exhaust that car just has the same motor problem mine does .. this car has 15,000 miles now and I think who had it before really beat it up .. it had to have the rear end replaced too . Well any way does anyone els notice that vibration when stoped ? Windows up ,ac off , radio off and really listen to it idle . Our car sounds like somthing has to be wrong the top service guy said it’s definitely concerning noise so we’ll see it’s been in 4 times for this issue and no one can figure it out.. I had to open a case on the car through Chrysler corporate it’s becoming this real nightmare . And driving crappy rentals sucks too lol
