19 challenger redeye

[Louie DeSiato]

Hi I need help please I purchased a 19 challenger redeye 15,000 miles and it had a valve train noise. I had it for months and bringing it to dealerships and finally found one I trust to work on it. They removed the blower and heads and changed the lifters. I got it back with new oil and parts. By the time I drove it almost 2 hrs home it was wrapping worse than I dropped it off. So I brought it back and they tore it down again to find metal particles in the upper and lower of the engine so the pulled the engine out and started following what SRT wanted and started a huge parts list new heads, crank , bearings, cam and so forth and I’m still waiting on SRT to get back to see what they are going to do. They changed people in charge of the claim. I just want to know what to do. It sucks I had the car for months put half cash down and can’t drive the car and paying payments on it and can’t even enjoy it. Is there a lawyer I can contact to make sure I get a great extended warranty on this car for the time that I own it. I won’t even put 5k miles on it a year. I find take it out in the rain and it sits in a heated and air conditioned garage. And I personalized it to me with tints vinyl and lots of other items. I’m at a loss for words. I will take any help I can get from the group please. Thank you Louie DeSiato

Sorry to hear about the engine issues.

Welcome to the forum.

A few have had problems as Hunter already mentioned.

Hopefully they will chime in soon.

Wishing you the best of luck in getting it fixed.

Lawyering up? What exactly would you be demanding? You have a warranty and they are honoring it. I dont understand all the running to lawyers every time people break down. I get that it’s super frustrating but this is exactly what a warranty is for. They’ll make it right in most cases, no lawyer needed.

Shoot it.

I’d be surprised if they put any parts in the shortblock, I see a new longblock in your future.

Shoot it.

Good to see you posting

Does Dodge really care?? If so then why is my battery keep going bad. I have to keep it on the charger all the time. Have had to have it jumped 3 times to get it to the dealership. Turn it off and will not restart. Only dealer ship that will deal with me and an exstended warranty is in St Pete. They told me my warranty was about gone and according to my math,,, I have 2 years left.

Op I saw one like that in May. SC failure and converter failure (have them inspect BOTH converters).

THE SOLUTION? Long block plus, SC, plus converters, plus cooling systems! 26 calendar days, cannot be more happy.



IT IS THE DEALER!!! They make it happen, or not IMO.

Good for you. What a piece of art and I thought mine looked good after werds I had the engine painted. Mine is and waz a one of a kind. $10,000 worth of paint on the engine and ass sociated parts. Powter coated black and red with all 4 calipers painted red with cat's heads and Dodge on the rear end painted red. Thanks and shout out to Bob of Riverside, Cal for the cat's red eyes. Low voltage of horse. And Ed my Electrical engineer whom put this together. A work of art and pain in the ass to keep clean. Satin black exterior with black leather and hand stitched interior. I will get pics on the board before it slips away. I did win the Cat of the month one year so there are pictures some where but not of the engine. Like my last Harley,,, chrome and air craft fitting with chrome braded fuel lines and ass ociated parts. The Harley wa a pin in the ass to keep clean. Exstended 8 over front end, hard tail frame, shovel pan engine. made only 6 months trans fered over from Pan Head to shovel head. What made it special if not all that but it was an electric start and kick start. Added later and I won alot of $$$ cause of that cause it did not come that way. Over $15,000 worth of gold in laid in the tank and fenders. Another 1 of a kind. Won alot of Bike Shows and featured in quiegt a few mags. O horse I did not pay for all this. I had a broker whom did nothing but look for cars and bikes for resale purposes only. Got this bike from a convicted drug dealer in Miami along with a Ferari I never drove. Both a pain in the ass but when shined up looked damn good. I don't think I road that bike 6 times. Had to ride it to the shows and out. Rules. One of my best friends from Chattanooga died this week, so I will be taking the H/C to Tenn and north Ga and pick up sum shine. So if any one from Florida wants to purchase sum at my cost,, PMer me and get er dun. Sorry Bob but I want be heading to Nancy land of the ceral state this trip.
