There is a tsb for all 392 and hellcats regarding the Radio Frequency Hub Module (RFHM) Update. This prevents thief’s from stealing your car and making a new key fob with their own programming tool. I was told today that my vehicle does not qualify because it’s a manual transmission. My car was stolen December 11 and if I had that update for the key fob it would have prevented them from stealing my car. I was able to recover the car and wanted to do have the Radio Frequency Hub Module (RFHM) Update. My car because it’s a manual now is a huge risk where the automatics have some what of a chance from them not taking the car. I feel that’s it’s completely unfair and doesn’t make sense why I wouldn’t not be able to have it done especially since this tsb came out a year ago.

The rear camera wiring harness becomes loose from opening and closing the trunk. Over time the camera intermittently stops working. I had this repaired once by the dealer under warranty but it keeps happening. Now the warranty is expired so the dealer will not repair unless I pay for it. But the original repair did not solve the problem so I am not willing to pay them. When the camera goes out you have to open the trunk and giggle the wires to get it to work again. This has been an ongoing issues since the car was new. I noticed the recent Tesla recall for this same problem and decided to report it.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR AND AFTER I SIGNED THE PAPERS THEY LET ME INSPECT IT. I SAW SOME RUST ON THE JOINTS AND SCREWS THAT HELD THE TIRES. THEY SAID IT WAS SURFACE RUST. I TOOK IT HOME AND EXAMINED IT CLOSED. I FOUND THAT THE RUST IS VERY EXTENSIVE. IT INCLUDED THE METAL THAT HELD THE TIRE TO THE CAR AND IT GOES DEEP. THE RUST FLAKED OFF IN MY HAND. I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK THE NEXT MORNING. THEY TOLD ME I COULD EXCHANGE IT FOR A SIMILAR VEHICLE BUT THAT ALL OF THEM HAD THE SAME RUST. I TOOK PICTURES OF SOME OF THE RUST. I TOLD THEM TO KEEP THE CAR AND I STOPPED PAYMENT ON THE CHECK. I THEN WENT TO THE DEALER IN ONTARIO AND I FOUND THE SAME EXTENSIVE RUSTING ON ALL OF THEIR CHALLENGERS. I BELIEVE THE DEFECT LIES WITH DODGE AND CHRYSLER. WHY ARE THEY ALLOWED TO SELL NEW VEHICLES WITH EXTENSIVE RUSTING TO THE PUBLIC? I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THEY HAVE BEEN HAVING RUST PROBLEMS SINCE AT LEAST 2007. I ALSO FOUND THAT MANY OWNERS DO NOT FIND THE RUST AS SOON AS I DID AND THEY SUFFER BECAUSE DODGE HAS DENIED RESPONSIBILITY. I THINK THERE SHOULD BE AN INVESTIGATION AND A RECALL TO FIX THESE PROBLEMS. I FEEL BAD FOR EVERYONE WHO BOUGHT THESE CARS WITHOUT KNOWING ABOUT THIS DEFECT. I TOOK SOME PICTURES.
