Just sharing my fun.
I've had the car since late March 2026. The car is an R/T.
Last month (around 3000 miles) the car started making a squeaking noise from the right rear of the car......worse on uneven roads. Got louder over the next few days until I knew I had to bring it in.
1. Brought the car in to the dealership. They had it a couple days and said they tightened bolts in the suspension and it is fixed......nope. On the drive home the car immediately resumed the noise.
2. Brought it back to the dealership and was then told it was a sway bar link....replaced that and it still squeaked. They then said it was a strut/shock.....waited a week for parts and I test drove it with the tech and seemed fine. About 15 miles after i took possession it started to make a "bump" noise from the rear at low speeds (10 - 20 mph).
3. Brought it back again and then they told me it was a rear axle and this was a known problem and will take a while to get parts. I've been in contact with Dodge (dealer didn't like that). Dodge talked to the dealership and now being told they are still diagnosing the issue.
Car has been in the shop over three weeks......frustrated with it. I broke my own rule of not buying a first year car.
