Long time lurker, first-time poster.
So I go in for my routine oil change, I have a 2015 SP 8AT with 26,6XX Miles. When I called to make the appointment I mentioned to the service rep that I had a loose door handle and also a slight ticking. I dropped the car off in the morning on 3/02. I get a call later that morning saying "We got your car, we have changed the oil and are going to take a look at the door handle and have a tech listen to the ticking, we will most likely have the car ready late Friday or early Saturday." Fast forward Monday 3/05 I get a call saying "The tech believes your lifters are bad, also you have a leaking radiator. We are going to have to take the motor apart."... Next day 03/08, I get a call late in the day saying " Yup, lifters are bad, also you have a bad water pump. We are going to have to hold onto the car for at least two weeks since the lifters are on backorder." :ugh:
I heard from everyone and their mothers that I would regret buying a Dodge when I picked up my Challenger. I brushed it off thinking it was just a running joke. :|
How is it possible that with only 26k miles it has the following:
-Bad Radiator
-Bad Water pump
-Loose driver door handle
-Lifters
Is there a recall on any of these for MY 2015 and up? I bought the Challenger with only 15k miles last year May..
I am going in today to pick up a loaner, is there anything else I should ask them to look at while they have the engine apart? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!
