Yeah you would expect the halo car to get a little more halo treatment but it is dodge doing dodge stuff at the end of the day.

@DavidKFla can attest to how build quality was on his charger that he passed up on, I saw mismatched badges and he received info there were quite a few issues down the line.

My own '23 redeye has a cel that requires replacement of some sensors/wires that I just haven't gotten around to.

As long as it's fixable and you found the problem that's all that matters I guess if you look at it from an optimistic standpoint.

Still disappointing for cars of this caliber to fly down the line like this, my m3 by similar measures and standards has not a single bolt or nut out of place.
My 2015 and 2019 have been all but flawless and I’m OCD. 😉

Sounds like end of production woes, or maybe post covid woes.

My '22 had hot start issues where it took a while to crank over, my '23 skipped that issue but got a cel.

The only problem I ever saw with my 2016 was runs in the clear on the back side of the hood.

It's not acceptable, but let's hope that all of your issues are this easy and trivial to replace/fix!

Maybe they can replace it with a Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust unit! 🤣

I think you misunderstood my comment.

I was saying maybe post covid or last call issues are what's plaguing my last two hellcats.

I'm saying the early builds were probably not rushed as much, which could include everything from assembly to the actual supply chain of parts.

QC is not even close to what it was.

I never did like the way the body side & the Roof were assembled
3 Challengers
3 dips in this area

Some things can be expected for a production car
Others not so much

The time they spend pre production to get all the fitment perfect
It seems this was overlooked
